英語口語王想聊就聊(昂秀)topics-7.5.6 直面老板

M: Kate, will you please make ten copies of this report?

W: I'd like to, but the photocopier is out of order.

M: Then use the xerox machine.

W: It broke down one year ago.

M: Oh, forget it then. Hey, I told you to put the files on the “in” tray, not on my desk.

W: The pile is over ten feet high. I am afraid it will fall all over and bury you underneath it if I put this file on top of it.

M: Very funny. What's wrong with you today? You are my secretary and you are not supposed to talk to me in that tone of voice. Do you know that?

W: What do you expect? I've been working for you for three years, and you've never given me a holiday. I don't feel well today, because I have a terrible headache. I am not in the mood for being gentle and polite. If you can't stand it, it's your problem. I am not going to change, because I think it suits you best.

M: Keep your voice down, Kate. I know you've had a hard day today, but you should at least show some respect for me. If you really don't feel well, go home. There isn't much work today anyway.

W: I apologize for forgetting myself, but I do need some time off.

M：Kate，麻煩你把這個報告印10份，好嗎？

W：我很樂意，可是影印機壞了。

M：那就用復印機。

W：復印機一年前就壞了。

M：哦，那先不提這個了。嘿，我告訴你把文件放在“接收”格里，而不是我的桌子上。

W：文件已經(jīng)堆過10英尺高了，如果我把它放上去恐怕文件堆會倒下來把您埋在下面。

M：真有意思，你今天怎么了？你是我的秘書，你不該用這樣的語調(diào)跟我說話，你不知道嗎？

W：你想讓我用什么語調(diào)和你說話？我已經(jīng)為你工作三年了，可你從來都沒給我放過假，我今天不舒服頭疼得厲害。我現(xiàn)在沒有溫文爾雅的情緒，如果你受不了是你的事。我不會改變過來，因為我覺得這樣做對你最合適了。

M：小聲點，Kate。我知道你今天不舒服，可是你至少應(yīng)該要尊重我一下，如果你真的感覺不舒服就回家，今天也沒什么事了。

W：我對剛才的失禮道歉，不過我真的需要休息了。
