商務口語學習 在辦公室會話如何表達發火

   （1）

    Clara: What happened just now, Mark? You weren't very kind when you were talking with Ted. What do you have against him?

    克拉拉：馬克，剛才怎么回事？你和泰德說話的態度不是很好啊。你對他有什么不滿嗎？

    Mark: I just don't like him at all.

    馬克：我就是不喜歡他。

    Clara: Why? Is there something in particular?

    克拉拉：為什么？有什么特別的原因嗎？

    Mark: Well, he has such a mean streak in him! I went to his office to ask him for some help, and he simply turned up his nose at me! I was so angry that I wanted to slap him! He wasn't like that before he got the job. Now he's such a snob!
馬克：他太刻薄太無禮了！我剛才去他辦公室找他幫忙，他理都不理我一下！氣死我了，真想扇他一巴掌！他沒坐這個職位以前不是這樣的，真勢利！

    Clara: You want my advice? Let it go.

    克拉拉：想聽聽我的建議嗎？別去想了。

    Mark: Of course, logically I know you're right, but somehow I just can't bring myself to forget it. Even the mention of his name starts me fuming.

    馬克：當然，按理說你是對的，可是我就是過不去。就連提他的名字都讓我火大。

    （2）

    Judy: You look like you're fuming. What's going on?

    朱蒂：你氣得快冒煙了。怎么了？

    Andy: The boss is being unreasonable! He flared up at me, making a mountain out of molehill!

    安迪：老板太不講理了！一點小事就沖我發火。

    Judy: What's the "molehill" he made a mountain out of?

    朱蒂：什么小事？

    Andy: I only made a few more copies, and I didn't think it was any big deal, but he blew up at me!

    安迪：我就多復印了幾份文件，沒什么大不了的，他就發火了。

    Judy: Well, he has been under a lot of pressure recently. The company has been losing money and he's been a little bit depressed.

    朱蒂：哎，他最近壓力挺大的。公司一直虧損，他有點沮喪。

    Andy: Well, I know he has the blues, but it doesn't mean he can vent his anger on me.

    安迪：我知道他心情不好，可是他也不能沖我撒氣呀。

    （3）

    Jane: You look so angry. What happened?

    簡：你看起來很生氣呀，怎么了？

    Mark: Nothing. I'd rather not talk about it. Just don't ask.

    馬克：沒什么，我不想說，所以別問了。

    Jane: Come on. I think you need to let off some steam. Besides, you shouldn't keep your feelings pent up. They'll eat you alive. So, talk to me.

    簡：來吧，我覺得你應該把憤怒發泄出來。而且不能壓抑自己的情緒，它們會吞了你的。跟我說說。

    Mark: All right. This morning I took my car to the garage to have them check the air-conditioner. They only gave it a once-over, refilled it with some Freon, and charged me 300 bucks!

   馬克：好吧。我今天早上去修車廠修車里的空調，他們就隨便看了一下，加了點氟利昂，就要我300塊錢！

    Jane: No wonder you're livid. I'd be mad, too, if someone ripped me off like that.

    簡：怪不得你臉都綠了。如果人家這么打發我的話，我也會很生氣的。

    Mark: Yeah. AND they were rude. They said I didn't know anything about cars, which I don't, but they didn't have to be so blunt!

    馬克：是啊，更過分的是他們很無禮。他們說我根本不懂車，我是不懂，可是他們也不能這么說我呀！

    Jane: Sounds like you got a raw deal! Maybe you should file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency.

    簡：看來你真是受到了很糟的待遇。你可以向消費者保護協會投訴他們。
