Man: Wasn't it Charles Hamilton who started Healthway's beauty treatment centres?
男：开设健康之路美容中心的难道不是查尔斯·汉密尔顿么？
Woman: Yes, almost his first major action as Chief Executive was to set up a separate chain of stores that,
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
in addition to selling health and beauty products, provided massage and other treatments. This ran alongside the existing stores.
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。
But even at the outset, few investors were taken in by his over-optimistic forecasts, and the doubters were proved right.
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。
Just before he left the company, he closed the centres and admitted his mistake.
就在他离开公司前，他关闭了这些中心并承认了他的错误。
Man: Hamilton also made drastic staffing changes, didn't he?
男：汉密尔顿还做了很大的人事变动，是么？
Woman: He certainly did: he slimmed down the head office,
女：没错：他对总公司进行了裁员，
he undertook a complete overhaul of the top management team and tidied up the company's international operations.
对管理层进行全面调整并整顿了公司的国际经营。
Of course, there was a danger that in changes on that scale, mistakes would be made and the company would lose individuals,
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
or even whole departments, that it needed. He managed to avoid that,
甚至整个部门。他想避免出现这种情况，
but he was quite unable to communicate the reasons behind the changes, so he created an enormous amount of ill will.
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。
Man: Hm. Has Robert Henlow announced any plans yet?
男：嗯。罗伯特·亨洛有没有宣布任何计划呢？
Woman: When he starts work next Monday, he'll find a report from consultants,
女：下周一上任时，他会从顾问那里拿到一份报告，
advising the disposal of several underperforming stores that are too small ever to do well.
建议关闭几家经营不善的店面。
However, they do think the current total should be maintained, which would be achieved by ploughing money into more profitable large-store formats.
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。
Even though this means adding to the payroll, the consultants say the increased profitability will make it worthwhile.
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。
Man: So, all in all, it's quite a challenge for Robert Henlow.
男：所以总而言之，这对罗伯特·亨洛是个不小的挑战。
Woman: It certainly is, not least because he's never run a quoted company of this size before,
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，
and he's one of the youngest chief executives of a business like this.
他是这个行业中最年轻的总裁之一。
He's taking a huge step from his previous position, though at least the health and beauty sector isn't entirely new to him.
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。
He's not going to find it at all easy to tackle all Healthway's problems.
要解决健康之路的所有问题，他会发现这并不容易。
Man: Lynne, thank you.
男：琳妮，谢谢。
