Ⅰ.核心學習：Managing Conflict 解決沖突

Steve: Hi Mike. Have you met the new hire in the Business Development Department?

史蒂夫：嗨麥克，你見過業務開發部新來的職員了嗎？

Mike: No, I haven't had the pleasure yet.

麥克：沒有，我還沒有這份榮幸。

Steve: Trust me - it's not a pleasure to meet him!

史蒂夫：相信我，跟他見面不是什么好事！

Mike: Steve! That's not like you at all to say nasty things about a colleague.

麥克：史蒂夫！說同事壞話可一點兒也不像你的作風。

Michael: Black, bitter and strong I suppose.

邁克爾：我想我們只能喝苦而濃烈的黑咖啡了。

Steve: Well just wait to you meet him. I think he is a real pig.

史蒂夫：好吧，等你見了他就知道了。我覺得他真是一頭豬。

Mike: Why do you have that impression?

麥克：你為什么會有這種印象？

Steve: He is rude, unfriendly and too pushy.

史蒂夫：他很粗魯、不友好還特別愛出風頭。

Mike: Maybe he is just suffering from culture shock being in a new company.

麥克：也許剛到一個新公司他還不習慣。

Steve: Well he needs to learn the culture of this office pretty quickly or he will make lots of enemies.

史蒂夫：他需要盡快學會適應這個公司的習慣，否則他會樹很多敵人。

Mike: Its up to us to help him make friends then!

麥克：這得靠我們來幫他交朋友！
