討論其他同事英語
討論集團的其他同事時，大家是怎麼說的呢?接下來，小編給大家準備了討論其他同事英語,歡迎大家參考與借鑑。
In this conversation, some members of an office clique1 are standing2 around the water cooler. They are mostly gossiping about employees who don’t belong to the clique.
Julie: Did you.see Nadia this morning? I really don’t like
the dress she’s wearing.
Sally: I know what you mean. Her clothes are never in fashion, anyway.
Michael: Hey, I heard through the grapevine that Todd will
probably get the new job in Marketing3.
Sally: I’m not surprised. He’s such a brown-noser.
Bill: Yeah, the only reason he’s moved up so fast is by sucking up all the time.
Mira: I heard that there was a little back-biting involved, too!
Michael: Did you hear the latest rumor4? Mario and Vanessa have the hots for each other. Someone saw them together a few days ago.
Mira: No kidding! And he’s still going out with Florence.
Julie: Shh ... keep it down. Chuck’s coming. He can be a real rumor-mongerer.
. . . . .
Chuck: Hi, everyone. What’s up?
參考譯文：
在下面的對話裏，辦公室的一個小集團裏的幾個成員站在水冷卻器旁。他們可能是在談論那些不屬於他們集團的其他同事。
Julie: 你今天早上看見Nadia了嗎?我一點都不喜歡她穿的衣服。
Sally: 我明白你的意思。她的衣服從來都很土。
Michael: 嘿，我聽(傳聞)說Todd很有可能調到市場部工作。
Sally: 我一點都不覺得驚訝，他可是個馬屁精。
Bill: 就是，他之所以升職那麼快，惟一的原因就是他每時每刻都在拍馬屁。
Mira: 我聽說還和他誹謗別人有關。
Michael:你聽到最新的謠傳了嗎?Mario 和 Vanessa好上了。有人前些天看見他們在一起。
Mira: 別開玩笑了。他現在還在和Florence 約會呢。
Julie: 噓，小點聲。Chuck來了。他是十足的傳謠者。. . . . .
Chuck: 大家好，談什麼呢?
