Dialogue

Jingjing: Alright, Xiaogao, rule number one: when you're at work, make sure you always carry your own weight.That means you should always do what's asked of you and try not to let other co-workers pick up the slack.
京晶：聽好了，小高，第一條規則：在工作中，一定要盡職盡責。這意味著，你必須自己做好分內的事，盡量不要讓其他同事替你做。
Xiaogao: Okay, that I can do. But what about when my co-workers are in a grumpy mood? Sometimes I want to lash out at them.
小高：好吧，這我可以做到。但如果我的同事犯脾氣呢？有時我真想沖他們發火。
Jingjing: That brings me to rule number two: no matter how other people act at work, you should always maintain a professional attitude. That means you should talk to people with respect at all times. If something bothers you, you can talk to your boss or the HR department.
京晶：這就是我要說的第二條規則啦：不管別人在工作中怎么表現，你都應該始終保持專業的態度。這意味著你在任何時候都應該對他人保持尊重。如果有事情困擾你，你可以跟你的老板或人力資源談。
Xiaogao: I have another co-worker who sits close to me, her name is Amanda. She's always on the phone with her boyfriend talking up a storm. It's really distracting, just like Jerry chewing his gum. What should I do about that? She's a girl, is it okay to confront her about it?
小高：我還有一個同事，坐我附近，叫阿曼達。她總是和她的男朋友煲電話粥。這真的很讓人分心，就像杰瑞嚼口香糖一樣。我應該怎么辦呢？她是一個女孩，我能不能和她直說呢？
Jingjing: Of course it's okay. Just remember to stay professional and ask nicely. She probably doesn't realize that she's being a chatterbox. If you ask her nicely I'm sure she'll keep her voice down.
京晶：當然可以。不過，別忘了保持專業和友好。她可能沒有意識到自己一直在喋喋不休。如果你好好跟她說，我相信她會放低音量的。
Xiaogao: Thanks for all your advice. I have to get back to work now, wish me luck.
小高：謝謝你的建議。我要回去工作了，祝我好運吧。
Jingjing: One last thing, Xiaogao. Just remember that the most important thing at work is getting along with your co-workers. If you have a bad relationship with them, then you will start to hate your job, or maybe your coworkers will despise you. A happy workplace is a healthy workplace!
京晶：最后一件事，小高。記住，在工作中最重要的是與你的同事和睦相處。如果你和他們關系不好，那么你就會開始討厭你的工作，或者你的同事就會鄙視你。快樂的工作場所才是健康的工作環境！
Xiaogao: Got it. Okay, I gotta run. Talk to you later!
小高：明白了。好了，我得趕回去上班啦。我們回聊！
Jingjing: Hey, Xiaogao! You didn't pay the bill! Waaaaiiit! Oh… forget it!
京晶：嘿，小高！你還沒買單哪！回來！哎……算了吧！
