我和我的搭档很合得来。
3 I have some problems working together with her.
我和她在工作中存在一些问题。

他就是个势利眼。
5 I am on your side.
我是站在你这边的。
A:I can't stand the stupid guy any longer. It's unbelievable!
B:Take it easy. You should forgive a green hand like him.
A:He does everything so mindlessly that it's going to drive me crazy.
B:I suggest you talk with him and teach him how to deal with the problems.
A:I have told him how to do it several tmes, but he has never listened to me.
B:Maybe you should communicate with him like a friend, not a manager.
A:Oh, I always have difculty in getng along with the staf. B:I disagree.All you have to do is respect the staf and their opinions.
A:我实在是忍受不了那个愚蠢的家伙,真的太难以置信了。
B:放轻松。你应该原谅一个像他那样的生手。
A:他做每一件事情都很不用心,这也是为什么他会让我抓狂。
B:我建议你去和他谈谈,然后教他如何来处理问题。
A:我已经告诉他怎么做都好多遍了,但是他就是不听。
B:也许你应该像朋友一样和他交流而并非经理的架势。
A:哦,我在和员工相处上的确很困难。
B:我不同意,你要做的就是要尊重员工和他们的想法。
与同事相处、共事后,从他们对待生活、工作还是脾气嗜好等方面就会对对方有了一个自己的评价。
1 He's efficient.
他很能干。
2 He is a go-getter.
他干劲十足。
3 He has a good temper.
他有个好脾气。
4 He has no sense of responsibility.
他一点责任心都没有。
5 She is not herself.
她有点不太对劲。
A:I'm really fed up with Larry!He always makes careless mistakes, and he's a pain to work with.
B:You shouldn't be so negative. You'll always have some co-workers that are harder to work with than others.
A:You only say that because you don't have to work with him. Take Mary for example.She's smart and enthusiastic.I've never met anyone as cheery as she is.
B:Everybody has his or her strengths and weaknesses. Mary, she's never willing to stay a little later at the office.She always leaves at 5:00 pm sharp.
A:Maybe you are right. We should work together, less complaints, more compliments and encouragement.
A:我真受够了拉里。他总犯粗心的错误,跟他一起工作真是痛苦。
B:你不要这么否定他。你总会碰到这样一些同事,与他们共事比跟其他人要困难得多。
A:你这么说是因为你没有和他共过事。以玛丽为例,她既精明又热情,我从来没有见过像她这样爽快的人。
B:每个人都有自己的长处和弱点。玛丽从来不愿意多加一点儿班,总是在下午5点整准时下班。
A:也许你说的没错。我们应该一起努力,少些抱怨,多谢鼓励和赞美。
