公司老板Joe找员工Sam和Lucinda谈话。 Joe Tan: Hi Sam, please take a seat. Goodmorning, Lucinda. Please sit down. How are you boththis morning? (Together) Sam and Lucinda: Good, thanks. Joe: I asked you both to come in this morningbecause there’s been rumors floating around thatyou two are involved in a personal relationship. Now Iknow these kinds of things can be sensitive, but Ido feel we have to discuss it. Joe开门见山，说找他们两人谈话，是因为公司里有传言，there has been rumors floating around...说Sam和Lucinda在谈恋爱。 Lucinda: Yes, the rumors are true. Sam and I are in love! Sam: It’s true, I feel the same way about Lucinda! Joe: Well, let me be the first to congratulate you! Falling in love is great and I’m veryhappy for both of you. S: But? J: Well, our company does have some guidelines for internal relationships. Lucinda和Sam两人都承认，they are in love. 他们确实在恋爱。Joe首先向他们表示祝贺。但随即承认，公司在员工谈恋爱方面有guideline指导原则什么guideline呢? L: The company frowns on co-workers dating each other, right? J: Let’s just say such relationships are not actively encouraged. S: But why? We are in love! J: Well, there are many reasons, but one of the main downsides to interoffice relationshipsis that they can be a big distraction from work. Other employees can sometimes see suchrelationships as unfair. The end result can be jealousy, hurt feelings and a loss of productivityfor the company. Joe解释说，公司之所以不鼓励公司员工之间的恋爱关系，最主要的原因是干扰工作。其他员工会觉得不公平，最后造成a loss of productivity for the company. 公司生产力的下降。 L: But in today’s modern working world, I feel like there is very little opportunity to meetpeople. Bars are smoky and loud. Internet dating can be very scary...it seems like I spend mostof my time working at the office, so isn’t it natural to find a co-worker as a partner? S: I have to agree. Lucinda and I work on the same projects so we have a lot in common. Ieven think our productivity has increased as a result of our relationship. Lucinda说，她觉得，酒吧烟雾弥漫、人声鼎沸，网上交友又不安全，既然一天到晚待在公司，在办公室找对象不是很自然吗。Sam说，他们两人是同一个项目组的，we have a lot in common. 说到这儿，老板Joe是不是理屈词穷了呢?我们下次继续听。 相关资料 |
