跟艾米莉一起學口語 第538期:辦公室談話

No kidding
No kidding, I'm serious.
沒開玩笑，我是認真的。

I really like your friends, no kidding.
我真的喜歡你的朋友們，沒開玩笑。

A: Did you get along with your boss?
你和你的老闆關係好嗎？
B: Actually I do. She is really understanding and reasonable most of the time. There was only one time I didn't really agree with her.
說實話，很好。大多數情況下她很有同情心，很通情達理。只有一次我和她的意見很不一致。
A: When was that?
什麼時候？
B: Once she fired one of my co-workers for drinking on the job. I felt bad for him because it is so hard to find a job these days, and he has a family to support.
有一次因爲我的一個同事上班時間喝酒，她解僱了他。我替這個同事感到難過，因爲最近找工作真是太難了，何況他還要養活一家人。
A: Well, he shouldn't have been drinking on duty. It's your boss responsibility to make sure employees are safe and also doing their jobs.
他真不應該上班時候喝酒。老闆的責任就是確保每個員工不出錯，而且還要盡職盡責。
B: You're right. She was being a good boss when she fired him, but I just felt sorry for him, that's all.
你說得對。即便開除這個員工，她也是個好老闆，我只是爲我的同事感到惋惜，僅此而已。
A: Did this incident with your co-worker affect your relationship with your boss?
你同事這件事情影響你和老闆的關係了嗎？
B: Not really. All of us at the office respect our boss a lot.
一點沒有影響，我們辦公室所有的人都非常尊重我們老闆。
A: You're lucky, you can get along so well with your boss. It makes a big difference in how much you enjoy your job.
你和老闆的關係那麼好，真是太幸運了，這對你是否喜歡自己的工作有很大的關係。
B: No kidding. If you don't like your boss or your co-workers, they can make your life miserable.

不騙你，如果你不喜歡你的老闆或同事，那你會過得很痛苦。
