地道美语听力练习:产品召回

Melissa:This is a disaster!

If we have to recall 100,000 units, we'll take a huge loss this year.

Lee:We have no choice. The product defect poses a safety hazard.

If we don't act quickly, we'll have a huge liability issue on our hands.

Melissa:I think we're blowing this out of proportion.

Only a small amount of our June product run was affected.

Lee:Yes, but even one case of someone getting hurt because of the defect would be a PR nightmare, and that's on top of the charges of negligence we'd have to face in court.

We need to get ahead of this now.

Melissa:All right, all right.

I guess we have no choice. Should we hold a press conference to announce the recall?

Lee:We'll send out a press release first and then hold a press conference.

Melissa:I'm putting you in charge of it. Get it done.

Lee:You mean in charge of getting the press release sent out?

Melissa:I mean that and the press conference.

You can face the press and answer their questions.

Lee:You're throwing me to the wolves?

Melissa:Not at all. I'm helping you raise your profile in the company.

You should be thanking me.

Lee:Somehow I don't feel so grateful.
