BEC中級口語練習：同事Co-Workers

A: I’m really ___①___ Larry! He’s the biggest airhead I’ve ever met. He always makes careless mistakes, and he’s a pain to work with.

A：我真受夠了拉里。他是我所見過的最大的傻瓜。他總犯粗心的錯誤，跟他一起工作真是痛苦。

B: You shouldn’t be so negative. You’ll always have some co-workers that are harder to work with than others. But if you are negative and start name-calling in the office, it will make a bad working environment for everybody.

B：你不要這麼否定他。你總會碰到這樣一些同事，與他們共事比跟其他人要困難得多。但是如果你持否定態度，在辦公室罵人，那隻會給大家制造一個惡劣的工作環境。

A: You only say that because you don’t have to work with him. The people in your department seem so capable and ____②____. Take Mary for example. She’s smart and enthusiastic. I’ve never met anyone as cheery as she is.

A：你這麼說是因爲你沒有和他共過事。你們部門的人好像很能幹，很好交往。以瑪麗爲例， 她既精明又熱情，我從來沒有見過像她這樣爽快的人。

B: Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. Even Larry. He might be a pain to be around, but he’s also very good at ____③____ on projects. Mary, on the other hand, spends our project money like there’s no tomorrow. Also, she’s never willing to stay a little later at the office. She always leaves at 5:00 pm sharp.

B：每個人都有自己的長處和弱點。拉里也如此。與他打交道可能會頭疼，但他在預算支出方面做得很好。從另一方面講，瑪麗花我們的項目經費時根本不做長遠打算。而且她從來不願意多加一點兒班，總是在下午5點整準時下班。

A: Isn’t there anyone in the office that is a perfect co-worker? What about Bob? Everybody loves Bob. Even though he’s fresh out the college and still ___④___, he is a great co-worker.

A：難道辦公室就沒有一個人是你完美的同事嗎?鮑勃怎麼樣?大家都喜歡他。儘管他剛剛大學畢業還沒什麼經驗，但是個不錯的同事。

B: You’ re right. He’s a hard worker, easy to get along with, honest, and he never steals the credit on projects. The only thing he’s lacking in is experience.

B：你說得對。他工作努力，容易相處，誠實可靠，而且他從來沒盜用過項目經費。他唯一缺少的是經驗。

A: Maybe that’s why he’s so nice!

A：也許這就是他爲什麼這麼討人喜歡的原因.
