Colleague: Oh, I am at the end of my wits and running out of steam.
Benjamin: You'd better take a break. You know the creative works need inspiration.
Colleague: Oh, I'm afraid I need a new working environment to release the creative power.
Benjamin: Your idea is a good one. People can't always change the working environment for inspiration. The brainstorming is necessary.
Colleague: Oh, you are always so professional. Do you have any good ideas?
Benjamin: Thanks for saying that. I think if we have a better teamwork, it will be much better.
Colleague: Teamwork?
Benjamin: Yes, we can be more efficient if we make the best use of everybody's idea. We can get a better solution with discussion in shorter time.
Colleague: Sounds quite reasonable. But everybody has his own ideas.
Benjamin: That's true. We can sit down and discuss, brainstorming with our team members. All of us can get some inspiration from different people's ideas.
Colleague: That's a good idea. Let's give it a try.
Benjamin: You should read as much as possible and learn from others. Everybody has his merits worth learning from.
Colleague: In that case, all of us can make the progress at the same time.
Benjamin: I hope my advice will be of some use to you.
Colleague: You are so great! I envy you.
Benjamin: Be confident with yourself. I am sure you'll do fine.
聽看學(xué)
同事：噢，我江郎才盡了。
本杰明:你最好休息一下。創(chuàng)意的工作是需要靈感的。
同事:噢，恐怕我得換個新的工作環(huán)境來釋放創(chuàng)造力了。
本杰明:是個好主意。但是人們不能老換工作環(huán)境來激發(fā)靈感。頭腦風(fēng)暴是必要的。
同事:噢，你總是那么專業(yè)。有什么好的意見嗎?
本杰明:謝謝。我想如果我們有一個很好的團隊合作，就會好很多。
同事:團隊合作?
本杰明:是的，如果能充分利用每個人的想法，我們就能更有效地做事。我們通過討論在較短的時間得到更好的解決方法。
同事:聽起來很有道理，但是每個人都有自己的想法。
本杰明:對啊，我們坐下來討論，和隊員來一個頭腦風(fēng)暴。我們都能從不同人的不同想法中得到一些靈感。
同事:是個好主意。我們試一試吧。
本杰明:你應(yīng)該盡可能多讀書，多向別人學(xué)習(xí)。每個人都有值得別人學(xué)習(xí)的長處。
同事:如果那樣的話，我們就能共同進步了。
本杰明:我希望我的建議能對你有幫助。
同事:你真了不起，我很佩服你。
本杰明:你也自信些，我相信你能做得很好的。
