陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作。他和同事Amy散会一起往外走。
(Office ambience)
A:Chen Hao, I can't believe what you were doing during that meeting.
C:开会的时候?我没干什么啊?
A:You were using your cell phone to send text messages.
C:噢,不就是用手机发发短信吗,Joe就坐在我旁边,他也一直在发啊。
A:He was out of line, too. It's rude to send and receive text messages during a meeting.
C:今天会上说的.都是Todd的项目,本来就跟我没什么关系,真不知道他干吗让我来参加。
A:Even if you felt it was a waste of your time, you needed to give the meeting and everyone there your full attention.
C:别人可能根本没注意到我在开小差。
A:Several people were aware that you were texting and they didn't look happy about it. What if your boss had been there? Would you have done the same thing?
C:如果老板在,我可不敢。
A:That should tell you something. He would have called you down for that.
C:好,我知道了,这样做是不太礼貌,我下次一定注意。12点了,我们去吃点东西吧。
A:Ok, let's go to that little sandwich shop around the corner.
午饭时,陈豪的手机响了。
C:是我的电话,对不起,Amy。Hello, Oh, hi Sue. What's up? You can't find the report? It's in a green file folder. Call me back if you don't see it. Bye.
