Managing a Difficult Conversation

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

我想和你简单聊聊最近几个项目的截止日期。

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

我知道有几个项目延期了。这段时间一直很忙乱。

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

我理解，而且你的工作质量一直很高。

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

但是这些延误正在对团队其他成员产生连锁反应。

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

说实话，我一直很难兼顾客户电话和报告工作。

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

这个情况很有用。也许我们可以重新分配一部分报告任务。

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

那会有很大的帮助。谢谢您这么体谅。
