Jess, could you read the first page of my report before I send it to head office, because I've written it three times and it still sounds like a diary? It starts with we tested the new process in January and it went quite well, which is true but not very professional. Oliver said reports in London sound like nobody wrote them, and I can't decide if that's a compliment or a warning.
Jess,你能在我发给总部之前读读我报告的第一页吗?我已经写了三遍,读起来还是像日记。它的开头是「我们一月份测试了新流程,效果挺好」,这是事实,可不太专业。Oliver 说伦敦的报告读起来像是没人写的,我拿不准这是夸奖还是警告。

It's a bit of both, and the trick is to turn your verbs into nouns, so we tested becomes testing was carried out, or better still, the testing phase. Instead of it went quite well, give the result: following the introduction of shared reporting, the number of duplicated tests fell by a third. Head office reads dozens of these, so they want the finding first and the story second, if at all.
两者都有,诀窍是把动词变成名词,所以「我们测试了」变成「进行了测试」,或者更好,「测试阶段」。别写「效果挺好」,直接给结果:「在引入共享报告之后,重复测试的数量减少了三分之一。」总部要读几十份这样的报告,所以他们要先看结论,再看过程,如果还看的话。
