不知道你饿不饿，我饿了。想去吃点东西吗？
R: That sounds great. I'm absolutely starving! What kind of food are you in the mood for?
好啊。我真的好饿了。你想好要吃什么了吗？
E: I'd love something spicy. Maybe we could get some Sichuan Hotpot.
我喜欢吃辣的。也许我们可以去吃四川火锅。
R: You're a woman after my own heart. I don't know many people who can handle spicy food. Are you Sure you are up for hotpot.
你真是个深得我心的女人。我认识的能吃辣的人不多。你确定做好吃火锅的准备了吗？
E: Sure. If I could, I would eat hotpot every day!
确定。如果可以，我愿意天天吃火锅。
R: Ok, you're really all eyes when it comes to talking about food, aren't you?
好的。一谈到食物，你就两眼放光了，是吧？
E: Well, let's stop dragging our feet and find a Sichuan Hotpot restaurant for dinner!
哦，我们停下来找个四川火锅饭店吃饭吧。
R: Let me think about it for a minute. Let's see... oh the name of the restaurant is on the tip of my tongue! Give me a second and it'll come to me.
让我想想。饭店的名字我就要想起来了，再让我想想，会想出来的。
E: Well...? Have you thought of it yet?
哦？想出来了吗？
R: No...
还没有
E: Never mind. There's an authentic tasting hotpot restaurant not far from the China World Trade Towers on Chang An Street. Have you been there?
没关系。在长安街，离中国世贸大楼不远有一家可靠的味道不错的火锅店。你去过吗？

就是它了！那就是我一直在想的。我说过我会想来的。

你真了不起，了不起。
R: So, Emily, how was your day?
Emily,今天过得怎么样啊？
E: I don't think you really want to hear about it.
我想你肯定连听都不想听。
R: It can't have been that bad. Go on and tell me about it.
肯定没那么糟糕。告诉我吧。
E: To be honest, it was horrible! My manager is such a pain in the neck!
说实话，太讨厌了！我的经理让人难以对付。
R: Why? What happened?
怎么了？发生什么事了？
E: Well, he made quite a few mistakes on the monthly report and when his supervisor found them, my manager blamed them on me!
哦，他在月报表中弄错了几个地方，他的主管发现错误后，我的经理把责任推给我了。
R: That's not very fair. What did you do?
那不太公平。你做了什么？
E: There wasn't really anything that I could do. There's always been a lot of bad blood between my manager and myself. If I had said anything, he would have fired me for sure.
我压根没什么可做的。我和我经理之间积怨很深。如果我当时说了什么，他肯定会炒掉我。
R: Does he treat everyone in your department like this?
他对你们部门的其他人也这样吗？
E: He treats everyone pretty poorly, but the way he treats me really takes the cake!
他对别人相当差，但他对我比对其他人更差。
R: Do you have any idea why he treats you worse than the others?
你知道为什么他对你比对其他人更差吗？
E: I really have no idea. All I know is that the thought of him really curls my hair!
我真的不知道。我知道的是想到他就让我抓狂。
R: Is there anyone else you can talk to about it at you company?
在你公司你有别的人可以谈论这件事吗？
E: Not really. I'm hoping to live with it for a while until I get a promotion.
没有。我希望暂时忍受直到我升职。
R: That's very sensible. It sounds like you have a good head on you shoulders.
非常明知。听起来你脑子很清楚。
E: I try to be sensible about it, but it's not very easy. Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it.
我尽量明智地去处理这件事，但是不是很容易呢。有时你只能无怨地承受它。
R: That's so true. When you have a taste for success, you can't let dishonest people like your manager get in the way.
说得太对了。当你尝试成功的时候，你不能让像你经理那样不正直的人挡路。
