The company's got cashflow difficulties at present - the problem lies with our larger customers. They've been delaying payments and we are in danger of going into the red. I'm negotiating with these clients to find a solution. If I don't succeed, we may not be able to pay our own bills!
目前,公司的现金流有些难处——问题在于我们的大客户。他们延期付款,而我们则面临负债的危险。我正在与这些客户协商来找到解决方法。如果我未能成功,我们就没法付自己的账了!

I'm responsible for making sure that our stock levels are sufficient to meet orders. Customers don't want to know about staff or technical problems - they want their goods on time. Sometimes I have to persuade staff to do overtime or hire extra machines to meet deadlines. Anything to make sure our customers get their orders.
我负责确保我们的库存充足,能够满足订单需要。客户不想了解员工或技术问题——他们只想按时拿到货物。为了按时完成任务,我有时必须说服员工加班,或者租用额外的机器。我所做的就是为了保证我们的客户拿到他们订单上的货物。
