公司老板Joe找员工Sam和Lucinda谈话。


Joe Tan: Hi Sam, please take a seat. Good morning, Lucinda. Please sit down. How are you both this morning?


(Together) Sam and Lucinda: Good, thanks.


Joe: I asked you both to come in this morning because there's been rumors 1 floating around that you two are involved in a personal relationship. Now I know these kinds of things can be sensitive, but I do 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 very happy 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 2 encouraged.


S: But why? We are in love!


J: Well, there are many reasons, but one of the main downsides to interoffice relationships is that they can be a big distraction 3 from work. Other employees can sometimes see such relationships as unfair. The end result can be jealousy 4, hurt feelings and a loss of productivity for 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 meet people. Bars are smoky and loud. Internet dating can be very scary...it seems like I spend most of 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. I even 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。
