與子公司的業(yè)務(wù)電話（09:30 AM）

Working Together

One of the most important tasks I am in charge of is communicating with?worldwide subsidiaries.

I often communicate with them by sending e-mails or calling them directly.

I sent e-mails to the?international subsidiaries?regarding the PR workshop,?but some of them still have not?opened my e-mail.

Only a few replied. It is?always very difficult receiving?responses on time.

I found that calling them?directly is always better and?faster.

Due to the time differences,?I have to stay at work until late?to call many countries.

However, I still enjoy my work. I can still?build a good relationship with them even if I?don’t see them face-to-face.

TRANS

我負(fù)責(zé)的工作中最重要的一項(xiàng)事務(wù)就是與海外子公司進(jìn)行溝通。
我經(jīng)常給他們發(fā)郵件或直接打電話。
我為了公關(guān)部的事情，給全球各地的子公司發(fā)郵件，但是有的人連看都不看。
只有少數(shù)人回信。想要按時(shí)收到回復(fù)太難了。
直接通話更快更省事。
由于時(shí)差原因，為了能跟世界各國的人通話，我要在辦公室等到很晚。
但我非常喜歡這份工作。雖然不能面對(duì)面交談，我們還是可以建立起很好的關(guān)系。
