-----Sir, does this apply to intra-office communications only? Or will it also restrict external communications?

-----It should apply to all communications, not only in this office between employees, but also any outside communications.

----But sir, many employees use Instant Messaging to communicate with their clients.

----They will just have to change their communication methods. I don’t want anyone using Instant Messaging in this office. It wastes too much time! Now, please continue with the memo. Where were we?

---“This applies to internal and external communications…”

----Yes. Any employee who persists in using Instant Messaging will first receive a warning and be placed on probation. At second offense, the employee will face termination. Any questions regarding this new policy may be directed to department heads.

-----Is that all?

-----Yes. Please get this memo typed up and distributed to all employees before 4pm.

---老板，这仅限于办公室内部通讯吗？还是包括外部通讯？

----包括全部的通讯，不止是内部通讯，还有外部通讯。

-----但是，老板，大部分员工用及时通讯系统和他们的客户交流。
-
---那他们就需要改变他们的交流方法了。我不想办公室里的任何人使用及时通讯系统。那太浪费时间了。现在，请回到记录上面。我们说到哪了？

-----“这个规定应用于全部通讯系统……”

----是的。任何一个坚持使用及时通讯系统的员工。第一次会给予警告和通报批评。第二次的话就开除。关于这条规定，如有任何疑问，可以和部门领导沟通。

----就这些了吗？

---是的。请整理一下并于下午四点发给所有员工。
