An empolyee said to his boss, "I've been here for six years doing two men's work for one man's pay. Now I want a raise."

The employer replied, "Well, I can't give you a raise, but if you'll tell me who the other man is, I'll fire him."

Notes:

1. An empolyee said to his boss, "I've been here for six years doing two men's work for one man's pay. "

有一個員工跟老板說：“我在這里6年了，領一個人的薪水，卻做兩個人的事。”

現(xiàn)在完成時可以表示過去持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的動作或狀態(tài)，通常用for或since來引導所持續(xù)的時間，如：I have been here for six years.

2. Now I want a raise.

現(xiàn)在我要加薪。

3. The employer replied, "Well, I can't give you a raise, but if you'll tell me who the other man is, I'll fire him."

他的老板回答：“嗯，我不能給你加薪，但是如果你告訴我另外一個人是誰，我會開除他。”

要表示“開除某人”，最常用的詞組是"fire sb."，另外三個常用的詞組是：get rid of sb./boot sb. out/sack sb.

employer [?m?pl???(r)]n.雇主;老板(=boss)

get rid of 免除;擺脫

boot [bu:t]v.解雇

sack [sæk]v.解雇
