R: how was your day?

J: let’s start with you. How was yours?

R: it was really busy. I had to work straight through my lunch break.

J: did you get to leave early then?

R: my boss told me that I could either go home early or take a long lunch break another day, so I decided to wait and take a long lunch break another time.

J: it was nice of your boss to give you an option. My boss would never do that.

R: let’s get back to you. How was your day?

J: it was horrible! It was just one thing after another.

R: you look pretty upset. Are you ok?

J: I’m fine. But I have bad news.

R: what’s that?

J: I got sacked today.

R: you’re kidding! How did that happen?

J: well, I was late to work today. It was the third time I was late this week.

R: how late were you?

J: only about 5 minutes.

R: you got fired for being a few minutes late?

J: my boss is really picky about that. He never arrives late, usually works over-time, and always gets his work done on time.

J: oh well. You never really liked your boss anyway, did you?

你今天過得怎么樣?

你先說吧,你怎么樣?

特別忙.我午休的時候都在干活.

你能早點走嗎?

我上司說我可以早點回家或者改天午休休的長一點,所以我決定等到哪天有空中午多休息一會兒.

你上司人不錯,還給你選擇的機會.我上司從來都不會這樣.

還是說說你吧.你今天怎么樣?

今天真是太可怕了,事情一件接著一件.

你看起來情緒不好.沒事吧?

我沒事.但是我有個壞消息.

是什么?

我今天被解雇了.

你開玩笑吧?到底怎么回事?

嗯,我今天遲到了.這是我這周第三次遲到了.

遲到多長時間?

大概只有5分鐘.

就因為遲到幾分鐘你就被解雇了.

我上司對遲到最敏感了.他自己從不遲到,經(jīng)常加班,而且總還是按時完成任務.

哦,你一直都不喜歡你的上司,對吧?
