Managing a Difficult Conversation

I wanted to have a quick chat about the last few project deadlines.

我想跟你簡單聊聊最近幾個專案的截止日期。

I know a couple of them slipped. It's been a hectic period.

我知道有幾個專案延誤了。這段時間一直很忙亂。

I appreciate that, and your work is consistently high quality.

我理解，而且你的工作品質一直都很高。

But the delays are having a knock-on effect on the rest of the team.

但是這些延誤正對團隊其他成員造成連鎖效應。

To be honest, I've been struggling to balance the client calls with the reporting.

老實說，我一直很難兼顧客戶來電和報告工作。

That's useful to know. Perhaps we could redistribute some of the reporting tasks.

這個資訊很有幫助。也許我們可以重新分配一部分報告工作。

That would make a huge difference. Thanks for being so understanding.

那會有很大的幫助。謝謝您這麼體諒。
