Conversation One
對話一
W: Hey, Tom, where've you been lately?
W: 嘿,湯姆,最近忙什么呢?
M: Oh, I've been doing loads of job interviews. I'm graduating soon.
M: 哦,因為馬上要畢業了,我正忙著到處面試求職呢。
W: How about your job interviews?
W: 面試的結果如何?
M: I've just got to work out what to do next. I'm torn between a big company and a small company.
M: 我不知道接下來該怎么選擇。我正糾結著應該選擇大公司還是小公司。
W: Really? Personally I would choose the small company. What are you thinking?
W: 真的嗎?我個人認為應該選擇小公司。你覺得呢?
M: Well, I was going to go with the big company because if it is bigger, it's got a bigger financial base, it's more secure. And also in a big company they've got to follow the laws. The things like pension and insurance are all going to be sorted out.
M: 嗯,我更加傾向大公司。因為大公司所能夠未員工提供的安全感和優越的福利。并且大公司都是按照國家的法律法規經營的。那么退休金和保險等方面的問題就不用擔心了。
W: Well, I prefer a small company for almost all different reasons. It's a lot more exciting, and you're going to be treated, most importantly, like a person. And it would be nice to have the relationships with your coworkers like a human relationship instead of just one giant building.
W: 我之所以喜歡小公司有多方面的原因。在小公司里,同事待你更加真誠,人與人之間的交往也更為融洽。與其待在一棟冰冷的大樓里,還不如盡情享受同事間親密的人際關系。
M: You've got a good point about the personal relationships, but that can also work against you. If someone has a good tight relationship with the boss, maybe they're going to get the promotion and you're going to get passed over. That kind of closeness doesn't really seem fair.
M: 人際關系這一點你說的的確在理,但也不完全正確。假如員工與老板之間的關系過于親密,那他們很可能會搶了你的升職機會。親密的人際關系可能會導致不公平現象的發生。
W: Well, that is a good point. But most of the people working at a small company are going to share a lot more of your ideals and you're going to have a better time of integrating yourself there.
W: 你說的沒錯。但很多在小公司工作的人都喜歡分享自己的一些觀點和看法,在這樣的環境下,你可以借機整合并提升自己。
M: I'm going to have to give this more thought.
M: 我還得再三考慮后再做決定。
W: OK.
W: 好的。
