迷你小對話

A: Well, our company has been sold. All former employees have to clear out by Monday.
B: That is so hard-hearted! They didn’t even try to find a way to keep people on?
A: No! They were totally merciless. They just said “That’s it. Thank you. Goodbye.”
B: Well, I’m glad you are not working for such ruthless people!

A: 哦,我們公司被賣掉了。所有的員工周一之前都要離開。
B: 太無情了吧!他們甚至都沒試著想辦法把人留下嗎?
A: 沒有!他們一點都不仁慈。他們就說“就這樣了,謝謝。再見?!?br> B: 好啊,我真高興你不再為這些無情無義的家伙工作了。
