Oliver： Are you OK? You look terrible.
你还好吗？你看起来不太好。
Nadia：Not really. Actually, I've just been fired.
一点也不好。实际上，我刚被炒鱿鱼了。
Oliver：What? I don't believe it.
什么？我简直不敢相信。
Nadia：Yup. I've just had a meeting with Bob, and he got really angry with me and fired me. Just like that. Can you believe it?
是啊，我刚刚和鲍勃开了个会，他对我非常生气，然后开了我。就这样，你能相信么？
Oliver：Gee. Tell me what happened. What reason did he give?
天！发生了什么是，他给出的理由是什么？
Nadia：Well, you know the ICM project?
嗯，你知道ICM项目吧？
Oliver：The ICM project? Oh, yes.
·ICM项目？知道。
Nadia：Well, we've been having problems with the client. The client is really, re ally difficult to work with, you understand, and blames all his mistakes on us. As I'm the team leader, naturally it gets blamed on me.
是的，我们跟客户一直有矛盾。客户真的非常难共事，懂？把他们的错都算在我们头上。因为我是团队主管，自然就是我顶缸了。
Oliver：I'm sorry to hear that.
听到这个消息我感到很遗憾。
Nadia：I feel terrible about it, of course,
所以我感觉糟透了。
Oliver：I can understand that.
我能理解。
Nadia：You know, it's OK when people make mistakes. What I don' understand is when they try to blame them on other people. It's so dishonest and unpro fessional. Do you understand what I mean?
你知道。犯错是可以理解的，我不理解的就是，为什么每次他们犯错，总是怪别人。这太不厚道，也不不专业了。你懂我的意思吗？
Oliver： I hear you!
我懂。
Nadia： Anyway, so, at the moment we're working on the launch for the new product, and according to him, we've gone over budget by several million dollars.
算了，还有，在我们准备新产品的发布的时候，据他说，我们超预算了，几百万美元。
Oliver： Several million dollars? I find that hard to believe.
几百万美元？不可能吧？
Nadia ： Right. I don't believe a word of it. So I told him.
对啊。我一个字也不信，所以我就跟他说了。
Oliver： So what did he say?
那他怎么说？
Nadia ： He threatened me.
他威胁了我。
Oliver： What? I can't believe my ears! Bob threatened you?
什么？这不可能吧！鲍勃威胁了你？
Nadia ： Yeah, it was scary. And then he apologized, and asked me to forget about it. Then he offered me some money not to say anything! When I refused, he fired me! He's totally unprofessional.
对，真可怕。然后他又道歉了，还让我把那件事忘了。还给要给我一笔封口费。我拒绝了，他就把我开了。他真的完全没有职业操守。
Oliver： I can understand how you feel. Here sit down. Golly. I can't believe it. So what are you going to do?
我能理解你的感受。先坐下。天，我还是不敢相信。那你接下来要怎么办？
Nadia： Well, going to contact my lawyers and see if I can sue Bob. I'm too an gry to simply forget about it.
嗯，我要联系我的律师，看看是否能起诉鲍勃。我太生气了，想不想这事儿都难。
Oliver： Wow, I can believe it. Maybe he, He apologize again and offer you your job back.
哇，我懂。或许他还会找你道歉，然后请你回去的。
Nadia： Yeah right! I'll believe it when I see it.
对，没错，且走着瞧吧。
