首场延误时及时改后续安排
How can we use a contingency plan to protect the second meeting?
工厂设备演示推迟,预计参观到下午一点。再加四十分钟转场,无法准时到客户的一点半会议。客户可接受两点线上沟通。
1 · 先听见真实对话
Colleague: What has changed in the itinerary?
You: The factory visit will now finish at one.
Colleague: Why must the next meeting change?
You: We cannot reach the office by one thirty.
Colleague: What is the revised contingency plan?
You: Our contingency plan is to meet the client online at two.
2 · 理解表达在这里做了什么
itinerary
a plan showing where to be and when
The itinerary includes both visits and the transfer between them.
itinerary 不只是会议列表;地点之间的移动和准备时间也需要留出。travel expenses
money spent while doing company work
I will record these travel expenses.
是否报销取决于具体政策和审批,不是所有旅行消费都自动由公司承担。contingency plan
a plan for a possible disruption
The itinerary includes a contingency plan for delays.
备用计划应有触发条件和联系人,不能只是“到时再说”。3 · 跟读后,换成自己的信息
The factory visit will now finish at one.
工厂参观现在预计一点结束。
We cannot reach the office by one thirty.
我们无法一点半前到客户办公室。
Our contingency plan is to meet the client online at two.
备用安排是两点与客户线上沟通。
We should confirm a quiet place, the meeting link and the documents.
应确认安静场地、会议链接和材料。
保留沟通意图,换掉人物、文件或时间。简单而准确的句子同样有效。

5 · 换一个情境,再试一次
What if the connection is unreliable?
What if the connection is unreliable?
Address the changed condition. Choose a practical next step and explain why it helps.
- My response addresses the changed condition.
- I explain one practical action and its likely effect.
- I make the next step clear.
