Colleague: I've been so tired recently. I've been trying, but I don't think I'm up to this job.
Shirley: You need to take a break, maybe a vacation.
Colleague: Oh, yes, indeed. I've run out of steam. To be honest, I want to be in a different environment.
Shirley: Is that so?
Colleague: Yes, I don't want to be stuck in a rut. I want to move on.
Shirley: Have you decided?
Colleague: Yes. I want to get a better job.
Shirley: Could you tell me why you want to quit?
Colleague: I quit just because of the dissatisfying salary and the trouble in getting along with my colleagues.
Shirley: Oh, that's terrible. Do you want to get a higher salary in our company?
Colleague: I'm afraid not. I've promised my girlfriend. We'll travel southwards to find a job that offers higher pay.
Shirley: OK, I'd like to say that I've really enjoyed working with you. However, I think you should work harder for your new job and then you can ask for higher pay.
Colleague: Thank you so much for your advice.
Shirley: And every best wish for your new job.
Colleague: Thank you.

同事:最近很累,我一直都很努力,但是我覺得我不能勝任這個工作。
雪莉:你需要休息一下,或許需要休假。
同事:噢,的確。我已經(jīng)失去動力了。說實話,我想換個環(huán)境。
雪莉:這樣?
同事:是的,我不想停滯不前,我要進步。
雪莉:你決定了?
同事:是的,我想找個更好的工作。
雪莉:能告訴我為什么要辭職嗎?
同事:我辭職只是因為對薪水不滿意,也很難和同事相處好。
雪莉:噢,那很糟。你想在公司拿到更高的薪酬嗎?
同事:不想了。我答應(yīng)過我女朋友。我們要一起到南方找個薪水高點的工作。
雪莉:好。我想說我和你共事很開心,但是你得知道你要在新工作崗位上更加努力,才可以要求更高的報酬。
同事:謝謝你的建議。
雪莉:祝你新工作里一切都好。
同事:謝謝。
