方案被推翻之后★★★★★
主管
I will not say yes to this version.
这一版我不同意。

Can I ask which part, so that I do not rebuild the wrong thing again?
我能问是哪一部分吗？免得我又把不该拆的东西重做一遍。
主管
The starting point is wrong. You have written it as a cost problem, and the board sees a customer problem.
起点就错了。你把它写成了一个成本问题，而董事会看到的是问题出在客户身上。
同事甲
That is a fair criticism of the starting point, but the numbers came from their own survey, so I would like to keep them.
这条关于起点的批评我接受。但数字是他们自己那份调查来的，所以我想留着。
主管
Keep the numbers. Change the first slide and the last one, and let the customer problem be the reason we have the meeting.
数字留着。改第一页和最后一页，把客户问题写成我们开这个会的理由。

Then I need two more days, and I need you to tell me before Friday if the direction is still wrong. I would rather hear it early than in the meeting.
那我需要再多两天，还需要你在周五之前告诉我方向是不是还错着。我宁愿早听，不想到会上才听到。
主管
You will hear it Wednesday.
周三告诉你。
同事甲
One more thing. If we start from customers instead, the deadline moves too, because the test group has to include them.
还有一件事。如果改成从客户出发，截止日期也要往后走，因为试点得把客户放进去。
主管
Then say that out loud in the meeting. I will support a delay that you tell me about early, not one that shows up on the day.
那你在会上就把这句话讲出来。提前说的延期我支持，会上才冒出来的我不支持。
