R: so, Emily, how was your day?

E: I don’t think you really want to hear about it.

R: it can’t have been that bad. Go on and tell me about it.

E: to be honest, it was terrible! My manager is such a pain in the neck!

R: why? What happened?

E: well, he made quite a few mistakes on the monthly 1 report and when his supervisor 2 found them, my manager blamed them on me!

R: that’s not very fair. What did you do?

E: there wasn’t really anything that I could do. There’s always been a lot of bad blood between my manager and myself. If I had said anything, he would have fired me for sure.

R: does he treat everyone in your department like this?

E: he treats everyone pretty badly, but the way he treats me really takes the cake!

R: do you have any idea why he treats you worse than the others?

E: I really have no idea. All I know is that the thought of him really curls 3 my hair!

R: is there anyone else you can talk to about it at your company?

E: not really. I’m hoping to live with it for a while until I get a promotion 4.

R: that’s very sensible 5. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders.

E: I try to be sensible about it, but it’s not very easy. Sometimes you just have to grin 6 and bear it.

R: that’s so true. When you have a taste for success, you can’t let dishonest people like your manager get in the way.


R:嗨,艾米丽,最近过的怎么样?

E:我想你不会想听我发牢骚的。

R:情况能有多糟糕呢。跟我说说吧。

E:老实说,真是糟透了!我上司实在是太讨厌了。

R:为什么这么说?除了什么事了?

E:嗯,他写的每月报告里出了好多错,结果他的主管发现之后,他居然都赖在我头上。

R:真是不公平。那你该怎么办?

E:实际上我无计可施。我们俩的关系一直很紧张。只要我随便说点什么,他肯定就会把我给抄了。

R:他对你们部门的其他人也是这样吗?

E:他对每个人都不怎么样。但尤其对我,可以说是坏到了极点。

R:你知道他为什么对你比其他人都糟糕吗?

E:我还是不明白。我只是知道他的想法足以让我胆战心惊!

R:这些遭遇你能跟公司里的其他什么人交流吗?

E:恐怕不能。我只希望自己能坚持忍耐知道升职。

R:这样就对了。你能这么想,说明你还是挺聪明的。

E:我努力让自己尽量保持客观地去看待这件事,但真是不容易做到。有时我不得不逆来顺受。

R:没错。你要你升值成功,像你上司这样不诚实的人就不能再为所欲为了。
