你听说了吗？公司想让我们团队换一个新的项目管理软件。
nǐ tīngshuō le ma? gōngsī xiǎng ràng wǒmen tuánduì huàn yí gè xīn de xiàngmù guǎnlǐ ruǎnjiàn.
Have you heard? The company wants our team to switch to a new project management app.

听说了一点，不过我还不太清楚这个新软件到底好在哪儿。
tīngshuō le yìdiǎn, búguò wǒ hái bú tài qīngchu zhège xīn ruǎnjiàn dàodǐ hǎo zài nǎr.
I've heard a bit, but I'm still not quite clear on what exactly is so good about this new app.
W
它最大的优点就是能把任务和日程放在一起，一眼就能看到谁在忙什么。
tā zuì dà de yōudiǎn jiùshì néng bǎ rènwù hé rìchéng fàng zài yìqǐ, yìyǎn jiù néng kàndào shéi zài máng shénme.
Its biggest advantage is that it can put tasks and schedules together, so at a glance you can see who's busy with what.

这个功能听起来确实不错，我们现在用的那个软件就做不到这么清楚。
zhège gōngnéng tīng qǐlai quèshí búcuò, wǒmen xiànzài yòng de nàge ruǎnjiàn jiù zuò bú dào zhème qīngchu.
This feature does sound pretty good; the app we use now just can't show things this clearly.
W
对，而且它还会自动提醒你哪些任务快到期了，不用自己一直盯着。
duì, érqiě tā hái huì zìdòng tíxǐng nǐ nǎxiē rènwù kuài dàoqī le, búyòng zìjǐ yìzhí dīngzhe.
Right, and it also automatically reminds you which tasks are almost due, so you don't have to keep watching them yourself.
L
不过我有点担心，换软件是不是得花很多时间去学习和适应？
búguò wǒ yǒudiǎn dānxīn, huàn ruǎnjiàn shì bú shì děi huā hěn duō shíjiān qù xuéxí hé shìyìng?
But I'm a little worried—won't switching apps take a lot of time to learn and get used to?
W
这个我也想过，不过它的界面挺简单的，官方还提供免费的培训视频。
zhège wǒ yě xiǎng guo, búguò tā de jièmiàn tǐng jiǎndān de, guānfāng hái tígōng miǎnfèi de péixùn shìpín.
I've thought about that too, but its interface is pretty simple, and they even offer free training videos.

那价格呢？如果比现在这个贵很多，老板可能不会同意。
nà jiàgé ne? rúguǒ bǐ xiànzài zhège guì hěn duō, lǎobǎn kěnéng bú huì tóngyì.
What about the price? If it's a lot more expensive than the current one, the boss probably won't agree.
W
价格其实差不多，而且要是按年付费，还能便宜百分之二十。
jiàgé qíshí chàbuduō, érqiě yàoshi àn nián fùfèi, hái néng piányi bǎi fēn zhī èrshí.
The price is actually about the same, and if you pay annually, you can even save twenty percent.
L
听你这么一说，我觉得可以先申请一个免费试用，让大家一起试试看。
tīng nǐ zhème yì shuō, wǒ juéde kěyǐ xiān shēnqǐng yí gè miǎnfèi shìyòng, ràng dàjiā yìqǐ shìshi kàn.
Hearing you put it that way, I think we could first apply for a free trial and let everyone try it out together.
W
好主意，那我今天下午就去申请，然后把链接发到咱们群里。
hǎo zhǔyi, nà wǒ jīntiān xiàwǔ jiù qù shēnqǐng, ránhòu bǎ liànjiē fā dào zánmen qún li.
Good idea. Then I'll go apply this afternoon and send the link to our group.
L
太好了，等大家都用过一段时间，我们再一起决定要不要正式换。
tài hǎo le, děng dàjiā dōu yòng guo yí duàn shíjiān, wǒmen zài yìqǐ juédìng yào bú yào zhèngshì huàn.
Great. Once everyone has used it for a while, we'll decide together whether to officially switch.
