英語口語王想聊就聊(昂秀)topics-7.5.4 不被升職

W: I am having a hard time at my job.

M: What's wrong, Julia?

W: My colleagues quickly get promotions, while I always get sidelined. I don't know what to do anymore.

M: Don't give up so soon.

W: But I don't know what else I can do. I am willing to work hard. Sometimes I make mistakes and the boss is not happy. He thinks I am not capable.

M: Mistakes are just a lessons to learn from.

W: Tell that to my boss.

M: Do you know Abraham Lincoln?

W: Yes.

M: He grew up poor in Kentucky and barely had a year of schooling, but he went on to become the President of United States.

W: He was also assassinated because of his views.

M: He is known as American's greatest president. Do you know why? Because he fought against slavery and secession at a time in history where others were too afraid to do anything. He succeeded because of his ambition and generous spirit.

W: Well, if he can become president, then I can at least get a promotion.

M: That's the spirit. Never give up on your dream.

W：我現(xiàn)在工作很不順。

M：怎么了，Julia?

W：我的同事們都很快得到了升職，可總是沒我的份兒。我不知道還能做什么。

M：別輕易放棄。

W：但我不知道我還能做什么，我愿意努力工作，但有時(shí)候會(huì)犯錯(cuò)老板就不高興了，他認(rèn)為我能力不夠。

M：可以從錯(cuò)誤中吸取教訓(xùn)。

W：對我老板講吧。

M：你知道Abraham Lincoln嗎？

W：知道。

M：他生長于肯塔基的一個(gè)貧窮之家，勉強(qiáng)上過一年學(xué)，但他最后成為了美國總統(tǒng)。

W：他因?yàn)樽约旱挠^點(diǎn)而遇刺身亡。

M：他以美國最偉大的總統(tǒng)而聞名，你知道為什么嗎？因?yàn)樗麨榉磳ε`奴隸制、追求獨(dú)立而戰(zhàn)，而那個(gè)時(shí)代的其他人都太膽小怕事，什么都不敢做。他成功了，因?yàn)樗行坌膲阎荆€有寬廣的胸襟。

W：那，如果他能成為總統(tǒng)，我想我至少也能獲得一次升職吧。

M：這就對了，永遠(yuǎn)也別放棄你的夢想。
