A: So, Lauren, I just wanted to talk to you quickly about our new customer support representative, Jason Huntley.

那么，Lauren，我想跟您快速的聊一聊我们新的客户支持代表Jason Huntley。

B: Sure, what’s up?

好的，什么事？

A: Basically, I’ve got a few concerns about him, and the bottom line is, I don’t think he’s a good fit for our company.

其实，我对他有一些担心，说到底，我觉得他不适合我们公司。

B: Okay... what makes you say that? I thought you were pleased with his overall performance. Didn’t you just tell me last week how impressed you were with his attitude?

了解......你为什么这样说呢？我以为你对他的整体表现很满意。你上周不是告诉我你对他的态度印象深刻吗？

A: Yeah, his attitude is great, but he’s really unreliable. Sometimes he’s really productive, but then other times... take last Tuesday for instance, he was forty-five minutes late for our morning meeting!

是的，他的态度很好，但他真的不可靠。有时候他工作效率很高，但其他时候......就说上周星期二，我们早上的会议，他迟到了45分钟。

B: Well, I’m sure he had a perfectly good reason...

好吧，我想他应该有一个完美的理由......

A: But that’s not the only thing... you know, he really doesn’t have the best work ethic, I’m constantly catching him on MSN and Facebook when he should be talking to clients.

但不止这一件事情......你知道的，他真的没有很好的职业道德。我经常看到他在本该和客户交谈的时候却在玩MSN和Facebook.

B: Yeah, but come on, Geoff, as if you don’t check Facebook at work. Look, you hired this guy, we’ve invested a lot of time and money in his training, so now it’s up to you to coach him. Make it work, Geoff!

是的，但是拜托，Geoff, 仿佛你就不会在工作时候看Facebook. 你看，你雇佣了他，我们在他的培训上投入了大量的时间和金钱，所以现在该由你来指导他了。行动起来吧，Geoff!

A: Make it work, Geoff. You would say that, wouldn’t you, he is your cousin; what a jerk, make me hire your stupid, useless, cousin.

行动起来吧，Geoff. 你肯定会这样说，不是吗，因为他是你表弟啊；真是个混蛋，让我雇佣你这个又蠢又没用的表弟。
