1--Ms.Dawson,I need you to take a dictation for me.
2--Yes,sir...
1--This should go out as an intra-office memorandum to all employees by this afternoon.Are you ready?
2--Yes,sir.Go ahead.
1--Attention all staff…Effective immediately,all office communications are restricted to email correspondence and official memos.The use of Instant Message programs by employees during working hours is strictly prohibited.
2--Sir,does this apply to intra-office communications only? Or will it also restrict external communications?
1--It should apply to all communications,not only in this office between employees, but also any outside communications.
2--But sir,many employees use Instant Messaging to communicate with their clients.
1--They will just have to change their communication methods.I don't want any- one using Instant Messaging in this office.It wastes too much time! Now,please continue with the memo.Where were we?
2--This applies to internal and external communications.
1--Yes.Any employee who persists in using Instant Messaging will first receive a warning and be placed on probation.At second offense,the employee will face termination.Any questions regarding this new policy may be directed to department heads.
2--Is that all?
1--Yes.Please get this memo typed up and distributed to all employees before 4 pm.

1--道森小姐，我想让你给做一下记录。
2--好的，老板。
1--这是今天下午之前发给所有职工的内部文件。准备好了吗？
2--好了，老板。您说吧。
1--全体员工请注意……请立即执行；所有办公室的联系仅限于电子邮件和正式的备忘录。上班时间严禁使用即时通信系统。
2--老板，这仅限于办公室外内部通信吗？还是也包括外部通信？
1--所有的通信都应该包括在内，不仅是办公室的员工之间，还包括所有对外联系。
2--可是老板，很多员工教用即时通信系统与客户联系。
1--他们只需要改变一下联系办法。我不想任何人在这个办公室外使用即时通信系统，太浪费时间！现在，请继续往下写备忘录。我们刚刚说到哪儿了？
2--“这包括内部和外部联系……”
1--是的。任何坚持使用即时通信系统的人，如果是初犯就会受到警告，然后试用一段时间。如果是第二次犯，这个人就会被解雇。有关这一新政策的问题可以直接向部门主管反映。
2--就这些吗？
1--就这些。请把这份备忘录打印出来，在下午4点以前分发给所有的员工。
2--Yes,sir...
