別讓感情影響了你的工作，如果有什么心結，不妨向同事請教一下。比如 Mary 就因為男友的過去而感到煩惱……

Mary: Jane, I'm very upset about something. Can I talk with you? I'd like your opinion.
瑪麗：簡，我心情不好，能和你聊聊嗎？我想聽聽你的意見。

Jane: What is it about? Oh, is it about Ed?

Mary: Yeah, sort of...
瑪麗：差不多吧。

Jane: So, what's up?
簡：到底怎么了？

Mary: What do you think of Ed, Jane?
瑪麗：你覺得他這人怎么樣，簡？

Jane: What do I think of him? You know him better than I do, don't you?
簡：我覺得他怎么樣？你比我更了解他呀，不是嗎？

Mary: Please, don't tease me. Just tell me.
瑪麗：求你，別逗我了。快告訴我。 求職英語

Jane: Well, remember the other day when you said that Ed is a man who really shows you nothing but consideration?
簡：好吧，還記得那天你說愛德華非常關心你吧？

Mary: Uh-hunh...
瑪麗：恩。

Jane: And remember you said that he really makes you happy?
簡：記得你說過他能讓你開心？

Mary: Yeah. (Heave a sigh) Ed is indeed a gentleman. He has wonderful manners and is respectful of me. But I'm really bothered by his past!
瑪麗：是（嘆氣）。他確實是個紳士。他舉止得體、對我很有禮貌。但是一想到他的過去我就心煩意亂。

Jane: His past!? Was he an ex-con or something?
簡：他的過去？他過去坐過牢還是什么？

Mary: No, no, no. That's not what I mean. He used to have a girlfriend and he loved her very much. He almost married her if it were not for an accident.
瑪麗：不是不是，我不是這個意思。他曾經有一個女朋友，而且非常愛她。如果不是一次意外他差點跟她結婚。

Jane: Oh, I see. But why are you so bothered? That's already a history, isn't it?
簡：哦，原來是這樣。但是你煩什么呢？那已經是過去了呀，不是嗎？

Mary: I know. But I just can't get it off my mind.
瑪麗：我知道，但是我總是想個沒完。

Jane: Come on, Mary. You're just being a little jealous, but that's just fine. You know, when you love him, you've got to love his past, his everything...
簡：哎呀，瑪麗，你就是有點嫉妒罷了，沒關系的。知道嗎，你愛他就要愛他的過去、愛他的全部。
