不客氣。我記得當(dāng)我初出茅廬的時(shí)候，公司的老人花費(fèi)時(shí)間教給我專(zhuān)業(yè)知識(shí)和技能。他們一直幫助我，直到我能自己獨(dú)立。
Kazuko: I can’t imagine you as a novice. Everybody here thinks of you as the cornerstone ofthe institution.
我無(wú)法想象你是一個(gè)新手。這里的每個(gè)人都認(rèn)為你是該機(jī)構(gòu)的基石。

嗯，這可能是，但是你應(yīng)該看到我早些年的表現(xiàn)。我幼稚且魯莽。我現(xiàn)在可能更擅長(zhǎng)工作，但是多年來(lái)我覺(jué)得自己很無(wú)能。
Kazuko: I saw you talking with some of the new recruits. What advice did you give them?

我給他們的意見(jiàn)和當(dāng)我剛開(kāi)始工作時(shí)，老手給我的意見(jiàn)相同，采取一切你一粒鹽忠告!對(duì)于有保留地采納每個(gè)意見(jiàn)。
