对话：

Coco: How do you get along with coworkers?

Coco: 你和同事的关系如何？

Anna：I get along pretty well with most of them. It seems there are always a few rotten apples in the bunch, though, like Sophia. I don’t know why management hasn’t fired her yet. She’s a terrible gossip.

Anna: 我和他们大部分人相处的都不错。不过，好像一群人中总有一些坏家伙，比如索菲亚，我不知道管理层为什么现在都没有解雇她，她真实令人厌恶的饶舌精。

Coco: Do you think management should fire someone just because they gossip?

Coco: 你认为管理层能仅仅因为爱说闲话就会解雇这些人吗？

Anna: It’s not only that she gossips, but also she tries to start problems among other employees by spreading rumors and telling lies to her coworkers. She’s not trustworthy, you know. And in my opinion, she’s nuts.

Anna: 她不仅仅是爱说闲话，而且还散步各种谣言来挑拨同事间的关系，还对同事说谎。他这个人不可信赖，而且我认为她真的有点疯癫。

Coco: Okay, well. So how do you develop good relationships in the office?

那你在办公室是如何处理同事关系的？

Anna: I think one of the most important things is just to be considerate of your coworkers’ feelings and needs. If you are aware of other people and do your job to make a good working environment, you should be able to get along with most of the people you work with.

Anna: 我认为最重要的一点是多体谅一下同事的感受和需要。如果你意向到别人的存在，尽自己的努力去营造好的工作环境，那你肯定能与大多数同事相处融洽。

Coco: I think you are right, but it does seem that there are always a few coworkers that are harder to work with than others.

Coco: 我想你说的没错，可是却是有些同事比其他人更难相处。
