English at Work Episode 37： Rachel the rabbit!
BBC白遥工作英语第 37 集：同事Rachel，和难相处的同事工作Narrator: 大家好。
这又是 Tip Top Trading 公司的一天。
Denise: (On phone) And I said no John, not at my age, I'd rather take the bus…Tom: (On phone) Yeah Pete, that's great, so we'll deliver 2,000 bananas by Friday.
Let's have a beer soon… yeah… cheers mate.
Narrator: 可是这里有两名工作人员在办公室里斗上了，谁都不肯让步。
Anna: So you did what?
You ordered the second-hand ones?
!
Rachel: Chillax Hannah…Anna: Anna!
Rachel: They're just oranges…Anna: Plastic lemons actually.
Narrator: Anna 觉得和 Rachael 一起工作很不容易，Rachael 可是顶头大老板 Socrates 先 生的热门销遥经理。
把她派到 Tip Top 公司是来帮忙促进销遥的，可是看起来起的却 是反作用。
Rachel: Look, I'm off for a cappuccino, everything will be fine.
Ciao.
Tom: Anna, has Rachel gone out?
Anna: Yes.
Tom: Phew.
She's a bit of a man-eater.
She almost ate me once.
Anna: She eats men?
Tom: Well, not exactly.
I worked with her in my last job.
She was always listening in to other people's conversations and she's always changing jobs.
That's why they call her Rachel Rabbit – you know, big ears, always jumping from one job to another.
Anna: Rachel Rabbit!
That's funny.
So, she isn't that good then?
Tom: Oh, useless!
She only worked for Mr Socrates because her father threatened to sue the company, after one of our plastic pineapples fell off a shelf and broke his toe.
But, err… better keep that under your hat.
Anna: My hat?
Tom: I mean, keep it a secret.
Anna: Oh, right, I see.
Well, now, she's ordered loads of second-hand oranges to send to our new customer in France.
Tom: But they wanted Imperial Lemons.
Anna: I know.
I'm not sure what to do, so I'm going to have to speak to Paul about this.
Narrator: 对了，有时候碰到难题的时候，得向上遥汇报，请求指导。
告诉 Paul, 你觉得 Rachel 做出的决定会直接影响到公司的业务 I'm concerned that she's made a mistake that might affect the business.
你也可以说 Rachel 没有起到她的作用或者是没有 做她该做的工作。
She's not pulling her weight.
还有你也可以告诉上司你很难和这 个同事一起工作。
I'm finding it very difficult to work with her.
Anna: Right.
I'll try.
There's Paul now… Paul could I have a word please?
Paul: Of course, Anna.
Let's go in my office.
Now, how can I help?
Anna: Err, well, it's Rachel.
Paul: Yes, amazing woman.
Mr Socrates' favourite…Anna: I know… but I'm finding it difficult to work with her.
Paul: Oh why's that?
Anna: I'm a bit concerned that she's made a mistake and it might affect our business.
Paul: Golly gosh.
Really?
!
Why's that?
Anna: Well, she's ordered second-hand oranges for our new client in France.
Paul: That's marvellous… isn't it?
Anna: Well, I asked her not to.
They wanted lemons… new Imperial Lemons.
Paul: Ah… not so marvellous.
Anything else?
Anna: Well, speaking personally, I don't think she's pulling her weight.
She doesn't seem to do any work and just keeps going out to buy cappuccinos.
Paul: Well, that's just not on.
Look Anna, I will look in to this straight away and see if I can sort this out.
Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Now, I think you've earned a custard cream.
Narrator: Anna 向老板 Paul 汇报了她的担忧。
遥 Paul 可以决定是否要做进一步的调查。
如 果你在工作中碰到难相处的同事，也觉得自己不能解决同事之间的问题， 那么报告上 司是应该的，你可以用到以下的一些表达： I'm concerned that she's made a mistake that might affect the business.
She's not pulling her weight.
I'm finding it very difficult to work with her.
Narrator: 不知道 Paul 会怎么处理这件事情。
Paul: There you are Rachel.
Nice cappuccino?
Could you step in to my office for a moment, I'd like a word.
Rachel: Ya, sure.
Denise: Ooh, I wonder what that's all about.
Do you know Anna?
Anna: No idea.
Tom: She's probably going to get a promotion and a pay rise… and a custard cream!
Rachel: (False laughing) Thanks Paul, ciao.
What a great guy he is.
Such a great sense of humour!
Looks like we're doing some good work Anna!
Anna: Wwwhat?
Narrator: Oh Anna.
我看 Paul 没怎么处理你提出的问题。
不过别着急，我们慢慢来。
