Man: Wasn't it Charles Hamilton who started Healthway's beauty treatment centres?[qh]
男：开设健康之路美容中心的难道不是查尔斯·汉密尔顿么？[qh]
Woman: Yes, almost his first major action as Chief Executive was to set up a separate chain of stores that,[qh]
女：没错，他任职总裁后的首个首要举措主要是建立一个单独连锁店[qh]
in addition to selling health and beauty products, provided massage and other treatments. This ran alongside the existing stores.[qh]
除了销售健康美容产品外，还提供按摩以及其他美容项目。和现有的店面同步经营。[qh]
But even at the outset, few investors were taken in by his over-optimistic forecasts, and the doubters were proved right.[qh]
但即便是在一开始，大部分投资人都不认可他的这种过于乐观的前景，事实证明这些持怀疑态度的人是对的。[qh]
Just before he left the company, he closed the centres and admitted his mistake.[qh]
就在他离开公司前，他关闭了这些中心并承认了他的错误。[qh]
Man: Hamilton also made drastic staffing changes, didn't he?[qh]
男：汉密尔顿还做了很大的人事变动，是么？[qh]
Woman: He certainly did: he slimmed down the head office,[qh]
女：没错：他对总公司进行了裁员，[qh]
he undertook a complete overhaul of the top management team and tidied up the company's international operations.[qh]
对管理层进行全面调整并整顿了公司的国际经营。[qh]
Of course, there was a danger that in changes on that scale, mistakes would be made and the company would lose individuals,[qh]
当然，全范围变动存在危险，可能会出现失误，公司会损失所需的员工[qh]
or even whole departments, that it needed. He managed to avoid that,[qh]
甚至整个部门。他想避免出现这种情况，[qh]
but he was quite unable to communicate the reasons behind the changes, so he created an enormous amount of ill will.[qh]
但是他无法沟通变动背后的原因，因此他创造出了大量憎恶。[qh]
Man: Hm. Has Robert Henlow announced any plans yet?[qh]
男：嗯。罗伯特·亨洛有没有宣布任何计划呢？[qh]
Woman: When he starts work next Monday, he'll find a report from consultants,[qh]
女：下周一上任时，他会从顾问那里拿到一份报告，[qh]
advising the disposal of several underperforming stores that are too small ever to do well.[qh]
建议关闭几家经营不善的店面。[qh]
However, they do think the current total should be maintained, which would be achieved by ploughing money into more profitable large-store formats.[qh]
但是他们确实认为应对当前所有店面进行维护，他们会对利润可观的大型店面投入资金。[qh]
Even though this means adding to the payroll, the consultants say the increased profitability will make it worthwhile.[qh]
虽然这意味着增加工资单，但顾问们表示增长的利润将证明这是值得的。[qh]
Man: So, all in all, it's quite a challenge for Robert Henlow.[qh]
男：所以总而言之，这对罗伯特·亨洛是个不小的挑战。[qh]
Woman: It certainly is, not least because he's never run a quoted company of this size before,[qh]
女：确实是的，尤其是因为他之前从未经营过这么大规模的上市公司，[qh]
and he's one of the youngest chief executives of a business like this.[qh]
他是这个行业中最年轻的总裁之一。[qh]
He's taking a huge step from his previous position, though at least the health and beauty sector isn't entirely new to him.[qh]
他将从从前的位子上往前跨一大步，但至少健康美容部门对他而言并不完全陌生。[qh]
He's not going to find it at all easy to tackle all Healthway's problems.[qh]
要解决健康之路的所有问题，他会发现这并不容易。[qh]
Man: Lynne, thank you.[qh]
男：琳妮，谢谢。[qh]
