John (Male)
Alright team, thanks for coming. As you know, we're looking into relocating our office, and today is our initial brainstorming session. Let's start with some general ideas. Any thoughts on potential new locations that might fit our needs?
好的,各位,谢谢大家前来。如你们所知,我们正在考虑搬迁办公室,今天是我们首次头脑风暴会议。我们先从一些普遍的想法开始吧。对于可能符合我们需求的新地点,大家有什么想法吗?

Sarah (Female)
Well, I've been looking at a few options downtown. Some spaces near public transport would be a huge plus for most of the team, especially those who commute.
嗯,我一直在看市中心的一些选择。靠近公共交通的地方对我们大多数团队成员来说会是一个巨大的优势,特别是那些通勤的同事。

Michael (Male)
Good point, Sarah. From a budget perspective, we also need to consider the cost per square foot. Midtown might be a bit cheaper than downtown, but still offer good accessibility.
说得好,莎拉。从预算角度来看,我们还需要考虑每平方英尺的成本。市中心可能比市区便宜一点,但仍然提供良好的交通便利性。
4
Emily (Female)
And space requirements are key. We're growing, so we'll need room to expand. A flexible lease with options for more space down the line would be ideal.
空间要求也很关键。我们正在发展,所以我们需要有扩展的空间。一份灵活的租赁合同,未来可以增加空间的选择,那将是理想的。
5
John (Male)
Absolutely, Emily. Growth is a major factor. Now, let's talk timeline. Realistically, when do we think we could aim to complete a move? I'm thinking a 6 to 9-month window, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.
没错,艾米丽。增长是一个主要因素。现在,我们来谈谈时间表。现实地看,我们认为什么时候可以完成搬迁?我估计需要6到9个月的时间,但我想听听大家的想法。
6
Sarah (Female)
Six months feels pretty tight, especially when considering the build-out or customization of a new space. Nine months might give us a bit more breathing room.
六个月感觉相当紧张,特别是考虑到新空间的建设或定制。九个月可能会给我们更多的喘息空间。
7
Michael (Male)
I agree with Sarah. We need to factor in time for finding the right real estate agent, negotiating the lease, and then the actual move logistics. Plus, minimizing disruption to our daily operations is crucial.
我同意莎拉的看法。我们需要把寻找合适的房地产经纪人、谈判租约以及实际搬迁物流的时间考虑进去。此外,将对我们日常运营的干扰降到最低也至关重要。
8
John (Male)
Okay, so let's pencil in a 9-month preliminary timeline. For next steps, I'd like each of us to research potential areas or specific properties based on what we've discussed. Sarah, perhaps you could focus on public transport links? Michael, could you look into budget and square footage? And Emily, the space and growth aspect?
好的,那我们初步把时间定在9个月吧。下一步,我想请大家根据我们讨论的内容,研究潜在的区域或具体的房产。莎拉,你能不能重点关注公共交通连接?迈克尔,你能不能看看预算和建筑面积?艾米丽,你负责空间和发展方面?

Emily (Female)
Sounds good to me. I'll also start putting together a list of our current space needs versus future projections.
听起来不错。我也会开始整理一份我们当前空间需求与未来规划的清单。
10
Sarah (Female)
I'm on it. I'll bring some initial findings to our next meeting.
我这就去办。下次会议我会带来一些初步的调查结果。
11
Michael (Male)
Me too. I'll get some comparative figures for different districts.
我也是。我会为不同区域准备一些比较数据。
12
John (Male)
Excellent. Let's aim to meet again in two weeks to present our findings and narrow down our options. Thanks again, everyone.
太好了。我们争取两周后再开会,届时大家展示各自的调查结果,然后我们一起缩小选择范围。再次感谢大家。
