8 x5 z/ f% @! _) O- Z. d　　C：出于礼貌，我也许应该说I am fine. 但实际上我正在气头上呢。
3 ?) c7 ~4 ^+ Q5 L8 d: C# L/ D3 H: E　　A：What's wrong?
　　C：马上要开会，我来复印一些资料，结果复印纸一张都没了，也不知道谁用完的，也不续上。
　　A：That happens all too often, and it is aggravating - especially when you are short on time, which I guess you are.
3 g* F. D+ C+ j" I4 @　　C：不仅如此，复印室里乱七八糟，剪刀、订书机，什么都找不到，地上还到处都是纸。
$ |/ W# k$ Q  \. n% d　　A：This might be a good subject to bring up at our next team meeting. It's hard to work together successfully if we aren't considerate of one another.
　　C：要说在办公室里只顾自己不顾别人的事情，我能说出一箩筐。
　　A：I bet we all could, but I would like to see you propose what actions people could take to create harmony and facilitate a good working environment.
　　C：你说的没错，光抱怨没用，得提出些积极的建议。我得赶紧去把这些资料印了，马上要开会了。一会儿午饭时见。

' Q: A" s) {2 H. N4 \) B　　陈豪中午跟Amy一起吃饭。
　　A：So Chen Hao tell me what other issues are on your mind.
　　C：我觉得办公室里有些人做事从来不考虑别人。在我前面最后一个用复印机的人肯定是因为办公室里纸都用光了，所以才没有把纸加满。
/ [, f( B5 u, `* S. e　　A：It shouldn't matter how urgent your project is, the considerate thing is to let someone know about the problem even if you don't have the time or ability to solve it.
# J0 x; _) s4 U& J- b* {' d1 n& c2 c　　C：对呀，没时间起码可以通知办公室主管，找别人把纸加上。还有啊，用完了剪刀和订书机，应该马上放回原处。
8 Y% q5 p% j- v) A　　A：You are right. It's everyone's job to clean up after themselves and put things back where they belong.
5 L5 Y! x% W( M* t0 r/ E! g　　C：另外还有，不管是谁用完复印机，都应该将复印机的设置复原。这样能省别人很多麻烦。
　　这点要求不过份吧？
; d! E; V( f" c7 b9 Y& Y* F　　A：Not at all. You are learning by experience the steps you can take to make your co-workers' jobs easier and more productive. Everyone benefits when we work together.
　　C：那你说，下次办公室开会，我们都要提出哪些建议呢？
$ x7 G3 ~5 `# \  n# ~5 p  ?　　A：We should ask to have time on the agenda for discussing copy room issues. The three most important would be (1) refill the paper tray when you finish a job; (2) if there is no more paper, let the appropriate person know; and (3) put things back where they belong.
