Hi, everyone. I know you’re all busy so I’ll keep this briefing quick. I have some important information about a change in the management team. As you already know, our head of department, James Watson, is leaving his position at the end of this week. His replacement is starting at the end of the next month. In the meantime, we’ll continue with our projects as usual.

I have two more quick points. Firstly, there will be some improvements made to the staff car park next month for a few weeks. It will be closed during that time.

Don’t worry, we’ve found a solution. We can use the local church car park until our own one is ready. If you arrive before 8.30 a.m., please use our small car park on Brown Street, and if you arrive after that, you should go directly to the church car park. It’s only a five-minute walk away. But they need it in the evenings, so you have to leave before 6 p.m. Sorry about that – I know how much you all love working late!

The other thing I wanted to tell you about is that the canteen has now introduced a cashless payment system. So, you can’t use cash for payments any more. You can pay directly with your smartphone or you can pay using your company ID card. The total amount put on your company ID card comes off your salary at the end of each month.

OK. That’s it? Are there any questions?

大家好。我知道你们都很忙，所以我会尽快做这个简报。我有一些关于管理团队变动的重要信息。如您所知，我们的部门主管詹姆斯·沃森将于本周末离职。他的继任者将从下个月底开始。与此同时，我们将像往常一样继续我们的项目。

I have two more quick points. Firstly, there will be some improvements made to the staff car park next month for a few weeks. It will be closed during that time.
我还有两点要点。首先，下个月将在几周内对员工停车场进行一些改进。在此期间它将关闭。

Don’t worry, we’ve found a solution. We can use the local church car park until our own one is ready. If you arrive before 8.30 a.m., please use our small car park on Brown Street, and if you arrive after that, you should go directly to the church car park. It’s only a five-minute walk away. But they need it in the evenings, so you have to leave before 6 p.m. Sorry about that – I know how much you all love working late!
别担心，我们已经找到解决方案了。我们可以使用当地教堂的停车场，直到我们自己的停车场准备好为止。如果您在上午 8.30 点之前抵达，请使用我们位于布朗街的小型停车场，如果您在此之后抵达，请直接前往教堂停车场。步行只需五分钟。但他们晚上需要，所以你必须在下午 6 点之前离开。抱歉——我知道你们有多喜欢工作到很晚！

The other thing I wanted to tell you about is that the canteen has now introduced a cashless payment system. So, you can’t use cash for payments any more. You can pay directly with your smartphone or you can pay using your company ID card. The total amount put on your company ID card comes off your salary at the end of each month.
我想告诉大家的另一件事是，食堂现在已经引入了无现金支付系统。因此，您不能再使用现金付款。您可以直接使用智能手机付款，也可以使用公司 ID 卡付款。您公司 ID 卡上的总金额会在每个月底从您的工资中扣除。

OK. That’s it? Are there any questions?
好的。就是这样？有没有问题？
