千万别学英语高级篇第13课
steve: james, wait. i really want to say i'm sorry for my behavior before.
james: don't mention it.
steve: no, really, i did a rotten thing back there and i just wanted to apologize.
james: forget about it. you are under a lot of pressure over the last few
weeks, i know how important this project was to you.
steve: yeah, but it was important to you too, and i shouldn't have turned on you like that.
james: well, you may have a chance to make it up to me.
steve: how?
james: if i become vice president i'll need my own good men to work for me.
steve: would you do that for me?
james: of course i would. i've seen you work, and you're very talented. even today you were much better prepared than i was, i just got lucky.
steve: it wasn't all luck. you have so much more technical knowledge than i do, and you're not afraid to tell the truth.
james: exactly, and that's why, like today, we make a good team. i'd hate to lose you and i know the company would too.
steve: i'm not so sure about that after hearing mr. barnes today.
james: that's nonsense. he just tried to scare you. and besides, if he's so happy with my performance, he'll have to listen when i tell him you're one of the best men at his company.
steve: i hope you're right.
james: you know i'm right. would you like something to drink?
steve: not only would i like it, i need it.
