【笑话原文】


 


Didn’t Do Job Right


 


For many years I worked as a receptionist and switchboard operator at a busy company. After a good annual review, my supervisor told me I was up for a raise, pending approval of the vice president. A month later, my supervisor called me into his office and told me the VP had refused to approve the salary hike. Every time he saw me, I was either chatting with someone in the lobby or talking on the telephone.


 


【中文译文】


 


不加工资的原因


 


我在一家繁忙的公司当了很多年前台接待兼电话接线员。我的上司告诉我,我的年度考绩很好。只要副总裁批准,就给我加工资。一个月以后,我的上司把我叫到他的办公室,告诉我说,副总裁不同意给我加工资。因为他每一次看到我不是在前台和人聊天,就是在打电话。
