Colleague: I've been so tired recently. I've been trying, but I don't think I'm up to this job.

Shirley: You need to take a break, maybe a vacation.

Colleague: Oh, yes, indeed. I've run out of steam. To be honest, I want to be in a different environment.

Shirley: Is that so?

Colleague: Yes, I don't want to be stuck in a rut. I want to move on.

Shirley: Have you decided?

Colleague: Yes. I want to get a better job.

Shirley: Could you tell me why you want to quit?

Colleague: I quit just because of the dissatisfying salary and the trouble in getting along with my colleagues.

Shirley: Oh, that's terrible. Do you want to get a higher salary in our company?

Colleague: I'm afraid not. I've promised my girlfriend. We'll travel southwards to find a job that offers higher pay.

Shirley: OK, I'd like to say that I've really enjoyed working with you. However, I think you should work harder for your new job and then you can ask for higher pay.

Colleague: Thank you so much for your advice.

Shirley: And every best wish for your new job.

Colleague: Thank you.

同事:最近很累，我一直都很努力，但是我覺得我不能勝任這個(gè)工作。

雪莉:你需要休息一下，或許需要休假。

同事:噢，的確。我已經(jīng)失去動(dòng)力了。說實(shí)話，我想換個(gè)環(huán)境。

雪莉:這樣？

同事:是的，我不想停滯不前，我要進(jìn)步。

雪莉:你決定了？

同事:是的，我想找個(gè)更好的工作。

雪莉:能告訴我為什么要辭職嗎？

同事:我辭職只是因?yàn)閷?duì)薪水不滿意，也很難和同事相處好。

雪莉:噢，那很糟。你想在公司拿到更高的薪酬嗎？

同事:不想了。我答應(yīng)過我女朋友。我們要一起到南方找個(gè)薪水高點(diǎn)的工作。

雪莉:好。我想說我和你共事很開心，但是你得知道你要在新工作崗位上更加努力，才可以要求更高的報(bào)酬。

同事:謝謝你的建議。

雪莉:祝你新工作里一切都好。

同事:謝謝。
