---I am really fed up with Larry! He’s the biggest airhead I’ve ever met. He always makes careless mistakes, and he’s a pain to work with.

-----You shouldn’t be so negative. You’ll always have some co-workers that are harder to work with than others. But if you are negative and start name-calling in the office, it will make a bad working environment for everybody.

-----You only say that because you don’t have to work with him. The people in your department seem so capable and nice to be around. Take Mary for example. She is smart and enthusiastic. I’ve never met someone as cheery as she is.

---我真是受够了拉里。他是我见过的最蠢的傻瓜。老是犯一些粗心的错误，跟他一起工作实在太痛苦了。

----你不应该这么消极。每个人都经常会有一些同事比其他人要难相处一点。如果你因此就消极并且在办公室抱怨的话，那就会使大家的工作环境变得很差。

----你可以那样说是因为你不用和他共事。你们部门的人都很好相处。比如说玛丽吧，她聪明热情。我从来没见过像她那样可爱的人。
