（单词翻译:单击）

　　F: Our productivity has been down for more than six months now.I'm seriously considering pulling in an outside consultant¹ to diagnose the cause of our problematic areas.I think we'd all benefit from an outsider's perspective. Sometimes we're just too closed to the problems to see the forest for the trees.

　　M: I think that's a good idea. You know I got a golfing buddy² that runs a consultant firm. He's an expert in organizational comunication.He does't come cheap, but he's an expert in this field.Maybe he could help get things on track.

　　F: Do you have his card? What's in his portfolio³? Which firm has he worked for in the past?

　　M: He's done staff for Microsoft and Boeing. I think he's been involved with Siemens' training evaluations⁴ as well. I'll get you his card, you can give him a call.

　　近6个多月来,我们的生产力一直在下降.我在认真考虑邀请业外的顾问帮助分析一下我们的问题根源.我想局外人的看法会对我们大有帮助.有时我们只会老围着问题,有点树不见林的感觉.

　　我看这是个好主意.你知道,经常跟我一起打高尔夫球的一个朋友就开着一家咨询公司.他是管理沟通方面的专家.给钱少了他不来的,不过他是他那一领域的专家.也许能帮我们走上正轨.

　　你有他的名片吗?他都有什么业务?过去他为哪家公司做过?

　　他曾为微软和波音公司出谋划策.我想他还一直参与西门子公司的培训评估.我去拿他的名片,你可以给他打个电话.
