"I've noticed that you devote a lot of attention to physical activity! Do you do this on company time?" the interviewer asked.
"我注意到你十分重視體育活動!你會在公司時間開展體育活動嗎?"采訪者問。
"Absolutely not! I studied physical education when I was younger, so that's why I exercise regularly!
"絕對不!我以前上過體育課,所以我經常鍛煉!
But it's all on my own time! I also itemize my phone bill so that I pay for personal calls myself!" Joseph replied.
但我只在自己的時間鍛煉!我還開列詳細的電話單,這樣私人電話我就自己付費!"約瑟夫回答說。
"I know you can pick and choose who you like to give performance evaluations to, but you got the best employee when you picked me!"
"我知道你可以對你愿意做表現評估的人十分挑別,但你選中我就是找到了最好的雇員!"
"Well, we like to pay a surprise visit to every employee. Don't worry. I don't think that any of our concerns pertain to you!"
"我們喜歡對每一位雇員進行突擊采訪。別急。我認為我們的擔心沒有 "涉及你!"
"May I ask what you're looking for? Maybe I can discover something in the peace and quiet that comes after you leave!"
"我可以問一問你們在找什么嗎?也許我能在你們走之后的平靜中發現點什么!"
The interviewer leaned back and thought about it.
采訪者往后靠了靠,思考著這個問題。
"Hmmm. Let me ask you a personal question, then. Do you like your boss?" Joseph hesitated.
"嗯,那讓我問你一個私人問題。你喜歡你們的老板嗎?"約瑟夫猶豫了一下。
"Look at the company photo album! Do you see any photos of employees next to the boss who appears happy?"
"看看公司影集!你能看到雇員在老板旁邊看上去髙興的照片嗎?"
"We've been noticing a declining rate in per capita productivity, even though nothing has changed anywhere else in the books!
"我們發現人均生產量正在下降,盡管賬上其他東西一點兒沒變!
We're pecking at the accountant, but he seems to know nothing about it!
我們在查會計的賬,可他好像什么都不知道!
I suspect that when we peel off all the layers of information, it will be your boss who has been skimming money off the top!"
我懷疑當我們把所有情況一層層剝開,肯定是你們的老板從里面撈錢!"
The interviewer stopped. "I expect this will be held in your confidence!"
采訪者停了下來!"我希望這件事你不會外傳!"
"Absolutely. There's nowhere I can go if I didn't. My number's in the phone book! I'll keep my eyes open!" Joseph replied.
"絕對!如果不保守秘密我沒有地方可去!我的號碼在電話簿里面!我會密切注意這件事!"約瑟夫回答說。
"Thanks." As Joseph walked away be smiled-they had no idea he was the one taking the money!
"謝謝。"約瑟夫走開的時候笑了——他們不知道貪污的人就是他!
