地道美语听力练习:处理敏感文件门道多 各种分类需要谨慎

Marcus:All right, let's get started.

These documents won't sort themselves.

Rebecca:I really don't think sorting through documents is the best use of my time.

Can't the company find an intern to do this?

Marcus:We have confidential information in these files and unless we want a security breach, only people who are authorized to see it are allowed to do this job.

Rebecca:Lucky us.

Marcus:Okay, we need to purge these files of outdated material.

Let's start by sorting them into two piles for either retention or destruction.

Rebecca:And then what?

Marcus:Then we have to further sort the destruction pile, either for disposal in the recycling bin or to be shredded.

Rebecca:And who are the lucky people who get to do the shredding?

Marcus:We get that honor, too.

Rebecca:You're kidding!

I'm all for safeguarding confidential information, but couldn't we just burn it all in a giant bonfire?

Marcus:And who do you think would be responsible for doing that, and for extinguishing the wildfire we start?
