compellingme to get rid of you. And please don' t make anycomparisonto your lying ways and my honest mistakes."

complementarytickets to see the Bulls if I'm gone?"
"Mike. For now let' s
compartmentalizeour friendship from work, okay? They have greatcompensationfor you! And if you are incompliancewith leaving, they will write a glowing recommendation for you about yourcompetence, so that you can go and get a job with thecompetition! They've taken all of thecomplexityout of it for you!"

再见,麦克
“情况真的没有那么
复杂,麦克。公司只不过有一份你故事的清单,他们就是不想让你在这儿再干下去了,我确实是爱莫能助。”
“不会吧,摩恩先生。我们在这家公司
共事多年,我们一直在同一分隔间工作,而且我觉得咱俩有那么多共同特点!我和你一样有能力,我还经常有更多非常有说明力的理由向老板交待,告诉他为什么我们没能按时完成计划!你需要我!”
“实际上我不需要你,麦克。 自从他们提升我之后,就一直逼我请你走人。请不要拿你的满嘴谎言和我犯的老实人的错误进行
比较。”
“好,好,你是个老实人。可是如果我走了,谁会替你搞看公牛队比赛的
票呢?”
“麦克,现在让我们把咱俩的交情和工作
分开好吗?他们会给你丰厚的补偿!如果你同意离开,他们会对你的能力写一份大加赞扬的推荐信,这样的话尽管有竞争,你还是.可以再找份工作!他们已经替你把所有的复杂事情都处理好了。”
“真的吗?那他们会怎样
补偿我呢?你是对的,这根本不是一件复杂的事情。我可以休个长假了。好,我接受。可是再没有赠票给你了,伙计!你现在成了我的竞争对手,你可真是够朋友啊!
