Matt
Morning, Li Ming, happy new year, and I've read your plan for the Sydney phase, so I'll get straight to the point. The timeline won't work, the budget's fine, and the testing section is the best thing we've seen from head office in years. Sorry if that's a bit blunt, but I'd rather call a spade a spade than waste your morning.
早上好,李明,新年快乐,你的悉尼阶段计划我看过了,我就直说了。时间表行不通,预算没问题,测试那一节是这几年我们从总部看到的最好的东西。如果这有点太直了,抱歉,不过我宁可有话直说,也不想浪费你一上午。
Li Ming
Don't apologize, it's refreshing, and after London I'd almost forgotten what a straight answer sounds like. In London, someone would have said the timeline was rather ambitious, and I'd have spent a week working out what they meant. Why won't it work, exactly, so I can fix it rather than argue with it?
别道歉,这让人耳目一新,在伦敦待过之后,我几乎忘了一个直截了当的回答听起来是什么样。在伦敦,有人会说这个时间表有点雄心勃勃,然后我得花一个星期琢磨他们是什么意思。具体为什么行不通?这样我可以去改,而不是跟它争。
