A Our company is going to do some cutbacks soon.

我們公司最近要裁員了.

B Really? Where did you hear that?

真的嗎?你從哪兒得來的消息?

A I met with the supervisor just this morning. I don't know, but I am a little worried. Who do you think will get sacked?

老板今天上午同我談話了.不知道為什么,我有點(diǎn)兒擔(dān)心.你覺得誰會(huì)被裁掉呢?

B I'm not sure…well, first, it couldn't be George. He is such a kiss-ass. He'd wash the boss's dog if he asked.

不清楚.嗯,首先我覺得不會(huì)是喬治.他是個(gè)大馬屁精,即使老板去叫他給狗洗澡,他也會(huì)去的.

A No, it's not going to be George. I don't think it's Andy either. He is involved with the boss's sister in-law. And you know how whipped our boss is.

嗯, 不會(huì)是喬治.我覺得也不會(huì)是安迪,他正在和老板的小姨子談戀愛呢.你知道咱們老板是個(gè)”妻管嚴(yán)”.

B That's true. What about Lisa? I bet there's nobody who could do a worse job than her.

沒錯(cuò).麗莎呢?我覺得是個(gè)人都能比她做得好.

A Lisa? No way. I've heard a rumor that she and the boss were having an affair. You know rumors can't come out from nowhere.

麗莎?不可能.我聽到謠言說她和老板正在搞婚外情,你知道的這種事不可能空穴來風(fēng).

B Well,okay. Then there is still Michael. But he's pet after having the best sales record for three months in a row. It definitely won't be Michael.

好吧.再就是邁克了,但他可是老板的紅人,他已經(jīng)連續(xù)三個(gè)月高居銷售量的榜首了.絕對不會(huì)是邁克的.

A No, that would be crazy. But then who will it be? Oh dear, it must be me. I should have known it! Why else would he have talked to me alone about the downsizing. What should I do? I've got a family t

不會(huì)的,不然就太過分了.但是那又會(huì)是誰呢?天啊,一定是我了.我應(yīng)該猜到才對.不然老板怎么會(huì)只找我一個(gè)人談減員的事情呢.我該怎么辦呢,我還要養(yǎng)家糊口啊.

B Well, it could be me too. But I am not too worried. This place is suffocating me with this boss being such a hard-ass and clleagues who barely know how to get dressed in the morning. It would almost b

也可能是我.但是我不太擔(dān)心,這個(gè)地方實(shí)在是令我太郁悶了,老板要求太苛刻了,同事們又都是二百五.還真巴不得被炒魷魚呢!
