human resources人力資源，firm公司
【笑話原文】
Letter of Recommendation
When Peters learned that he was being fired, he went to see the head of human resources. "Since I've been with the firm for so long," he said, "I think I deserve at least a letter of recommendation."
The human resources director agreed and said he'd have the letter the next day. The following morning, Peters found a letter on his desk. It read, "Jonathan Peters worked for our company for 11 years. When he left us, we were very satisfied."
【中文譯文】
推薦信
彼得斯聽說自己被解雇了，便去見人力資源部的頭頭。“既然我在公司干了這么久，”他說，“我想至少該給我一封推薦信。”
人力資源部主任同意了，并說他第二天就可拿到該信。第二天早上，彼得斯在他的桌子上看一封信，上面寫道：“喬納森·彼得斯在我們公司干了11年。當(dāng)他離去的時(shí)候，我們很滿意?！?/FONT>
