A：You only say that because you don't have to work with people in your department seem so capable and nice to be around.
Take Mary for 's smart and enthusiastic.I've never met anyone as cheery as she is.

B：You're 's a hard worker,easy to get along with,honest,and he never steals the credit on only thing he's lacking in is experience.

A：我真受夠了拉里。他是我所見過的最大的傻瓜。他總犯粗心的錯誤，跟他一起工作真是痛苦。
B：你不要這麼否定他。你總會碰到這樣一些同事，與他們共事比跟其他人要困難得多。但是如果你持否定態度，在辦公室罵人，那隻會給大家制造一個惡劣的工作環境。
A：你這麼說是因爲你沒有和他共過事。你們部門的人好像很能幹，很好交往。以瑪麗爲例， 她既精明又熱情，我從來沒有見過像她這樣爽快的人。
B：每個人都有自己的長處和弱點。拉里也如此。與他打交道可能會頭疼，但他在預算支出方面做得很好。從另一方面講，瑪麗花我們的項目經費時根本不做長遠打算。而且她從來不願意多加一點兒班，總是在下午5點整準時下班。
A：難道辦公室就沒有一個人是你完美的同事嗎?鮑勃怎麼樣?大家都喜歡他。儘管他剛剛大 學畢業還沒什麼經驗，但是個不錯的同事。
B：你說得對。他工作努力，容易相處，誠實可靠，而且他從來沒盜用過項目經費。他唯一缺少的是經驗。
A：也許這就是他爲什麼這麼討人喜歡的原因．
