Denise: Morning everyone. How did you get on at the conference? Tom: Oh hi Denise. Yeah it was… it was OK. Anna: What do you mean ‘OK’? It was great. We made some new contacts and we won an award – Best Plastic Innovation of the Year, for our Imperial Lemon. Denise: Oh that’s wonderful. Wish I’d been there. Tom: Maybe next year eh? Narrator: Maybe? 欢迎大家回到 Tip Top 贸易公司的办公室。大家都在分享昨天获奖的好消息，不过，你还记得昨天Paul和美国大老板 Mr Socrates 谈话的事儿吗？今天 Paul有坏消息要宣布，不过到底是什么事儿呢？ 请注意听： Paul: Morning everyone. Anna: Hi Paul. Everything OK? Paul: Yes, fine. Well done for winning Employee of the Year – I hope you can continue to be a great employee. Excuse me. (Door shuts) Denise: Hmm, he sounded odd. What did he mean? Tom: Probably run out of biscuits! Anna: He’s obviously got something on his mind. Paul: (Door opens) Denise, could I have a word with you in my office please? Denise: Of course. I’ll bring my notepad and pen shall I? Tom: What’s that all about? Anyway, now we’re alone, I wanted to see what you’re doing tonight… are you free? Anna: Sorry Tom, I’m seeing Dave tonight. He’s offered to fix something on my computer at home. Tom: Oh, has he now? (Door opens and closes) Denise: (Crying) All the years I’ve worked here – why me? Why now? Anna: Denise, what’s up? Denise: Paul says he needs to move the furniture around and he has to let me go. He says he can’t afford me anymore. Anna: That’s terrible… but where’s he letting you go to? And what furniture is he moving? Narrator: No Anna! 如果有人说他们在 ‘moving the furniture’ – 那就是婉转地说他们在进行调整，变动。 如果他们说 ‘they have to let you go’ – 意思就是他们不想要你了，换句话说就是你被解雇了，they’re sacking you! Anna: Sacking you? Oh, that is serious. (To Denise) Denise, I’m really sorry to hear this. But why does Paul want to ‘move the furniture’ around? Denise: He says it’s because of the tough economic situation. My role is no longer needed. Tom: Hey that’s not true. You make a great cup of tea Denise. I’ve got a good mind to smash Paul’s bourbons into tiny crumbs. Grrr. Denise: Calm down Tom. Now Denise, when did Paul say you had to go? Denise: He’s given me seven days’ notice. Narrator: A ‘notice period’ 就是雇主给被裁员职工的通知期。 Denise: I never thought I would be facing redundancy… not now… not at my age. Anna: Redundancy? Narrator: 没错，如果某人对你说 ‘they are facing redundancy’ 面临裁员，换句话说就是工作保不住了。可怜的 Denise 需要有人安慰安慰。 Anna: Yes. Denise, do you want my shoulder to cry on? Denise: Oh thanks. Tom: Urgh! Erm… Denise I’ve just made some tea, would you like a cup? Denise: Oh yes please. Tom: Here you go. You know Denise, you’ve got to think positively. You’ll get another job… and let’s face it you didn’t like working here anyway…you always looked so miserable. Narrator: 我觉得 Tom 的这番话不会对 Denise 有任何安慰和鼓励的！ 失去工作可是件痛苦的事儿，往往突如其来令人措手不及。下面我们一起来听听 Paul 和 Denise 面谈裁员消息时使用的几个短语： We’ve got to move the furniture around. I’m afraid I’ve got to let you go. I’m giving you seven days’ notice. Narrator: 这里还有几个同裁员有关的短语: Facing redundancy 面临裁员 Getting the sack 被炒鱿鱼了，被解雇了 Terminating your employment 把你解雇了 Leaving the company 离开公司了 Denise: Right well, I might as well start clearing out my desk. Tom: Yeah it’s a real shame. Any chance I could have your stapler? Anna: Tom, you could be a bit more sympathetic. Tom: Oh right. (Door opens) Paul: Erm… Tom, Anna. Could I have a word in my office please? Tom: Oh no. This is it. It’s my turn to get the chop! Denise: Ha, You might not need my stapler after all! Narrator: 哎呀! 看来形式不妙。Tom 和 Anna 会不会也被砍掉，我是说被解雇呢？下期节目见分晓。 |
