有一種“貧窮”叫短視

The team I work in just had 2 new interns, and I happen to be their supervisor .

我所在的團(tuán)隊(duì)新來了兩個(gè)實(shí)習(xí)生，而我恰好是他們的主管。

After today's lunch break, I saw that one of them was reading things on her smartphone, maybe on some social network, I guessed.

今天午休過后，我看見他們中的一個(gè)正在悠閑地刷手機(jī)，可能是在上社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)吧，我猜。

I went to her and said "There's another document here needing traslation. Do you have time to finish it for me?"

我走過去問她：“我這正好有一份文檔要翻譯，你有時(shí)間幫忙完成一下嗎?”

That document was not in her assigned workload. But I thought I could let her challenge herself a little bit with it, seeing that she seemed to have time.

這份文檔并不在她的工作量里面，不過我看她似乎有空，就打算讓她用這鍛煉一下。

"Yes, I do have time." She said, "But I'm just an intern."

“有啊。”她說。“可是我只是個(gè)實(shí)習(xí)生啊。”

I didn't quite know what to say back then. After a while I mumbled "Right. Yes."

我當(dāng)時(shí)突然不知道說什么好，愣了一下說道：“哦，對。”

And I turned around and left.

然后便轉(zhuǎn)身離開了。

I recalled the time when I was an intern for the first time. I, too, managed to finish my workload so fast, just like her.

我想起了我自己第一次做實(shí)習(xí)生的時(shí)候，當(dāng)時(shí)我也像她一樣，很快就把自己的工作量完成了。

So I asked my supervisor "Is there anything else that I can help?"

于是我就問我的主管：“還有什么其他的事需要我?guī)兔?”

And she happened to have a plan to make. But she didn't have time. So she let me do the research and make a draft for her.

正好，她當(dāng)時(shí)有一份計(jì)劃要訂，但是時(shí)間不夠，于是就讓我先幫她查查相關(guān)資料然后擬個(gè)草稿。

I was not very familiar with the job but still tried to carry it out based on my understanding and make it as professional as possible.

我當(dāng)時(shí)并不太明白那份工作，但還是試著按自己的想法做出來了，盡可能寫得專業(yè)。

And my supervisor was really satisfied with the draft. Later, she told me "You saved me a lot of time. I didn't need to create it from scratch."

主管對這份草稿很滿意。她事后說：“你幫我省了不少事，我不用從頭做起。”

And she told me in details how should I have done the plan differently. I learned a lot about the operation in the process.

并且，她還跟我細(xì)致地講了這份計(jì)劃應(yīng)該怎么修改;而我在這個(gè)過程當(dāng)中學(xué)到了很多有用的業(yè)務(wù)細(xì)節(jié)。

After that, she had come to trust me like completely.

在那之后，她開始給予我完全的信任。

I got my current job all because of her recommondation.

而我現(xiàn)在的這份工作，也多虧了她的引薦。

Yes, I was just an intern with a low salary. But I bought a better future with my extra labor.

是的，我當(dāng)時(shí)只是個(gè)實(shí)習(xí)生，薪水只有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)，但我用額外的勞力為自己買到了更好的未來。

There's a kind of poverty called short-sightedness.
