英语流利说懂你英语 Level6 Unit1 Part3 Dialogue - New Policy of a Company

We've got a real problem on our hands.

We're getting a lot of complaints.抱怨( complaint的名词复数 );

About the proposed new policy?被提议的

Yes, people think it's an invasion of privacy.侵犯; 隐私,

Don't they agree that regular exercises and staying in shape is good for everyone?

Sure, they agree.

But they don't think we have the right to use an app to track how much they exercise.

Using the app is the only way to make sure our employees get enough exercise.


This new policy will reduce our health costs and improve productivity, which helps everyone.生产率

That's not how they see it.

This kind of regulation makes people feel like robots. 规章;

They have no freedom anymore.

Requiring everyone to wear a smart device like this on their wrist, means they have no privacy.腕,手腕

Well, if you put it that way, I can see the problem.


However, I don't see any other way to change people's habits.习惯( habit的名词复数 );

This is just a friendly reminder.友情提示;

It's more than a reminder.

It makes things public and puts pressure on people to meet their requirements.

It will force people to work out even when they don't want to.锻炼;

There won't be any choice.

No, it doesn't have to be that way.

We can still be flexible.灵活的

That's not the point.

People hate the idea that the company knows everything they do.

It's bad enough that they have to communicate with each other at night and on weekends.


What if we make the use of the app an option? 选项;

If you do that, it still puts pressure on people to use it.

I think it's best that we get rid of this idea.

I'm all for standards, but what about freedom and creativity?标准( standard的名词复数 ) 创造性,

If we go ahead with this policy, I think we will lose some of our best people.


There are other ways to deal with health issues.卫生问题

Such as... What's your suggestion?

Give extra holidays to people who take fewer sick days.

No, that wouldn't work.

It will put pressure on people to come to work sick and get everyone else sick too.

If someone is sick, I'd rather that they stay at home.


Then, here's a radical idea. 激进的; 彻底的;4

Why not let your department managers handle it.

They are the ones who decide on promotions and bonuses.

Setting everything in stone in the form of policies can be very dangerous.

Ok, I'll consider it.

For now, I'll give up the idea of using this app.

Please let people know that we are listening to them.

We do care about our employees.

I will, I'm sure people will appreciate it.

It shows that you have faith in them.

Thanks, I appreciate your advice.
