---I am really fed up with Larry! He’s the biggest airhead I’ve ever met. He always makes careless mistakes, and he’s a pain to work with.

-----You shouldn’t be so negative. You’ll always have some co-workers that are harder to work with than others. But if you are negative and start name-calling in the office, it will make a bad working environment for everybody.

-----You only say that because you don’t have to work with him. The people in your department seem so capable and nice to be around. Take Mary for example. She is smart and enthusiastic. I’ve never met someone as cheery as she is.

---我真是受夠了拉里。他是我見過的最蠢的傻瓜。老是犯一些粗心的錯誤，跟他一起工作實在太痛苦了。

----你不應該這么消極。每個人都經常會有一些同事比其他人要難相處一點。如果你因此就消極并且在辦公室抱怨的話，那就會使大家的工作環境變得很差。

----你可以那樣說是因為你不用和他共事。你們部門的人都很好相處。比如說瑪麗吧，她聰明熱情。我從來沒見過像她那樣可愛的人。
