A I'm really fed up with Larry! He's the biggest airhead I've ever met.He always makes careless mistakes,and he's a pain to work with.
我真受够了拉里。他是我所见过的最大的傻瓜。他总犯粗心的错误,跟他一起工作真是痛苦。
B You shouldn't be so negative.You'll always have some co-workers that are harder to work with than others.But if you are negative and start name-calling in the office,it will make a bad working environment for everybody.
你不要这么否定他。你总会碰到这样一些同事,与他们共事比跟其他人要困难得多。但是如果你持否定态度,在办公室骂人,那只会给大家制造一个恶劣的工作环境。
A You only say that because you don't have to work with him.The people in your department seem so capable and nice to be around.Take Mary for example.She's smart and enthusiastic.I've never met anyone as cheery as she is.
你这么说是因为你没有和他共过事。你们部门的人好像很能干,很好交往。以玛丽为例, 她既精明又热情,我从来没有见过像她这样爽快的人。
B Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses.Even Larry.He might be a pain to be around,but he's also very good at staying in budget on projects.Mary, on the other hand,spends our project money like there's no tomorrow.Also,she's never willing to stay a little later at the office.She always leaves at 5pm sharp.
每个人都有自己的长处和弱点。拉里也如此。与他打交道可能会头疼,但他在预算支出方面做得很好。从另一方面讲,玛丽花我们的项目经费时根本不做长远打算。而且她从来不愿意多加一点儿班,总是在下午5点整准时下班。
A Isn't there anyone in the office that is a perfect co-worker? What about Bob? Everybody loves Bob.Even though he's flesh out of college and still a bit green, he is a great co-worker.
难道办公室就没有一个人是你完美的同事吗?鲍勃怎么样?大家都喜欢他。尽管他刚刚大 学毕业还没什么经验,但是个不错的同事。
B You're right.He's a hard worker,easy to get along with,honest,and he never steals the credit on projects.The only thing he's lacking in is experience.
你说得对。他工作努力,容易相处,诚实可靠,而且他从来没盗用过项目经费。他唯一缺少的是经验。
A Maybe that's why he's so nice!
也许这就是他为什么这么讨人喜欢的原因.
