白领们的生活对话：职场冲突

范例一：

Work it out between yourselves

你们自己解决

Hello, Mr. Thomas. Could you spare a minute?

托马斯现在，你好。你能抽出一点时间吗?

What do you need?

你要干什么?

I need to talk to you about that new driver you’ve hired. I think I am going to have some problems working with him.

我要跟你谈谈关于你新雇佣的司机的事。我觉得我和他一起共事有一些问题。

He seems to be quite qualified. If it is a personal problem I preferred if you would work out between yourselves.

他似乎很能胜任。如果是私人问题，我希望你们可以自己解决。

范例二：

I don’t like it

我喜欢它

What’s the problem? Things are getting out of hand. You keep sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong.

出了什么问题?事情失控了。你一直在多管闲事。

What do you mean?

你是什么意思?

Now, I am responsible for training new staff, but you keep overriding my authority by trying to pose your methods. I know you are a hotshot college graduate with something to prove. But I don’t like your way.

现在，是我负责给新员工培训，但是你老是提出你的方法，凌驾在我的权利之上。我知道你是一名相当成功的大学毕业生，需要证明你的能力。但是我不喜欢你这种方式。
