Dialogue

这个仪表板有一个问题，但我可以不讲技术细节来解释这个问题。

Zhè ge yíbiǎobǎn yǒu yí ge wèntí, dàn wǒ kěyǐ bù jiǎng jìshù xìjié lái jiěshì zhè ge wèntí. The dashboard has a bug, but I can explain it without technical details.

请说明一下，因为销售团队只需要知道会受到什么影响。

Qǐng shuōmíng yíxià, yīnwèi xiāoshòu tuánduì zhǐ xūyào zhīdào huì shòudào shénme yǐngxiǎng. Please do, because the sales team only needs to know the impact.

用户更改日期筛选条件后，有些图表还会显示旧数字。

Yònghù gēnggǎi rìqī shāixuǎn tiáojiàn hòu, yǒuxiē túbiǎo hái huì xiǎnshì jiù shùzì. Some charts keep showing old numbers after users change the date filter.

用户还可以下载正确的报告吗？

Yònghù hái kěyǐ xiàzài zhèngquè de bàogào ma? Can users still download the correct report?

导出的报告是正确的，所以这是个不错的临时解决办法。

Dǎochū de bàogào shì zhèngquè de, suǒyǐ zhè shì ge búcuò de línshí jiějué bànfǎ. The exported reports are correct, so they are a good temporary workaround.

修复仪表板需要多长时间？

Xiūfù yíbiǎobǎn xūyào duō cháng shíjiān? How long will it take to fix the dashboard?

我们可以重现这个问题，更新应该明天就能准备好。

Wǒmen kěyǐ chóngxiàn zhè ge wèntí, gēngxīn yīnggāi míngtiān jiù néng zhǔnbèi hǎo. We can reproduce the issue, and an update should be ready tomorrow.

那么，在更新准备好之前，我可以告诉团队使用导出的报告。

Nàme, zài gēngxīn zhǔnbèi hǎo zhīqián, wǒ kěyǐ gàosu tuánduì shǐyòng dǎochū de bàogào. Then I can tell the team to use the exported reports until the update is ready.

一份带截图的简短说明应该会有帮助。

Yí fèn dài jiétú de jiǎnduǎn shuōmíng yīnggāi huì yǒu bāngzhù. A short note with screenshots should help.

这样会更容易平静地传达这条消息。

Zhèyàng huì gèng róngyì píngjìng de chuándá zhè tiáo xiāoxi. That will make the message easier to deliver calmly.
