春风得意在职场

工作努力获加薪

For all of his hard work, Adrian's boss decides to reward him with a promotion! He feels on top of the world and wants to celebrate with Ping, so he invites her to meet him at their favorite restaurant. He also has something very important he wants to ask Ping. What could it be?

(In the office)

Boss:Adrian, can I see you in my office for a few minutes?

Adrian:Sure, boss. Is something the matter?

Boss:Sit down. There's a supervisor position available and I think you'd be perfect forit.

Adrian:Are you offering me a promotion? That's fantastic!

Boss:No, I'm not offering you a promotion, but I can support your request for one.

Adrian:Oh. I thought...

Boss:I can't give you a promotion, but for all the hard work you've done, I'd like to give you a raise!

Adrian:This is really unexpected, thank you!

Boss:This bonus is to acknowledge everything you've done for the company.

Adrian:This is very generous of you, but I don't think I'm deserving of it.

Boss:Don't be so polite. You deserve it for a job well done.

(At the restaurant with Ping)

Adrian:Ping, I have great news!

Ping:I heard you got a promotion. Congrats!

Adrian:I was offered the position of supervisor.

Ping:I can think of no one better for the post. Congratulations!

Adrian:No, no! Hold on! I wasn't given the post；I have to apply for it.

Ping:Oh, that's too bad.

Adrian:But I was given a raise!

Ping:That's great! I know you've been wait-ing a long time for this!

Adrian:There's something else I want to tell you.

Well, you and I have known each other long enough now that I feel the time is right to ask you if you want to...

（为了奖励Adrian的努力工作，Adrian的老板决定给他加薪！他现在感觉好极了，而且他想和Ping一起庆祝。所以他邀请 Ping去他们最喜欢的饭店见面。他还问了Ping一些很重要的事情，是什么呢？）

(在办公室里)

Boss：Adrian, 你可以来我办公室一下吗？

Adrian:当然可以，老板。有什么事情吗？

Boss:坐下谈。现在有一个主管的位子空着，我想你是最佳人选。

Adrian:您是在说给我升职吗？太好了！

Boss:不，不是现在我要给你升职，但是我支持你去申请这个职位。

Adrian:哦，我还以为……

Boss：我还不能给你升迁，但是考虑到你的勤恳工作，我可以给你加薪！

Adrian:我真是没有想到，谢谢你！

Boss：这些奖金是用来奖励你为公司所作的一切贡献。

Adrian:谢谢你的慷慨，但是我想这不是我应得的。

Boss：别客气了，你的工作完成得这么好，这是你应得的。

(在饭店里和Ping在一起)

Adrian:Ping， 我有个好消息！

Ping:我听说你得到升职了，祝贺啊！

Adrian:老板叫我当主管。

Ping:除了你，我想不出更好的人选了。祝贺你啊！

Adrian:不，不，等等，我并不是得到了这个职位，我还得申请。

Ping：哦，那太糟了。

Adrian:但是我得到了加薪。

Ping:太好了！我知道你等这一天已经好久了！

Adrian:还有件事我想告诉你。

Ping：什么啊？

Adrian:你看，我们已经认识这么长时间了，我觉得是时候问你是否愿意……

订票旅行

After the promotion , Adrian decides to go away for a short vacation to celebrate. Where does he intend on going?

Agent:Good morning. Can I help you?

Adrian:Yeah. Hi. I want to buy a ticket to Las Vegas.

Agent:OK. Just give me a second here. When did you want to leave?

Adrian:Let's see...today's Tuesday, so...say next Friday!

Agent:Next Friday? That would be the 13th, right?

Adrian:Yeah, sure. Do you have any tickets available?

Agent:Do you have a preference of airlines?

Adrian:Nope. I just want to fly out Friday afternoon and come back in time for work Monday morning.

Agent:I think I can handle that!

Adrian:Do you have any charter flights available?

Agent:Normally, we don't provide seats on chartered flights.

Adrian:Check anyway. I prefer charter flights to commercial ones.

Agent:I have seats available on AA or United.

Adrian:United sounds good to me! How much is the ticket?

Agent:Your ticket will set you back $98.

Adrian:Boy, is that cheap or what! How long is the flight?

Agent:From L.A. to Vegas will take less than one hour.

Adrian:That's convenient. I might as well drive!

Agent:Did you want a seat near the window or the aisle?

Adrian:Oh, a window seat. Definitely.

Agent:That won't pose a problem. Here's a printout of your itinerary. Please read it over carefully.

Adrian:Everything looks good to me! When do I pay?

Agent:You pay me now. Here is your ticket, Sir. Your flight leaves at 8:30am on the 13th.

Adrian:Great! Thanks for your help.

Agent:Enjoy your stay in Las Vegas!

（得到提升之后，Adrian决定去度个短假好好地庆祝一下。他想去哪儿呢？）

Agent:早晨好，我可以帮您吗？

Adrian:是啊，你好，我想买两张去拉斯维加斯的机票。

Agent:好的，稍等。你想什么时候出发？

Adrian:让我想想……今天是周二，那么……就是下周五吧！

Agent:下周五？就是13号喽？

Adrian:是啊，你们有票吗？

Agent:你对航班有什么要求吗？

Adrian:没有，我就想星期五下午走，下周一早上及时回来上班。

Agent:我想我们可以办到。

Adrian:你们有包租班机的业务吗？

Agent:通常情况下我们不提供包租座位。

Adrian:好好查查吧，比起商务舱，我还是偏好包租的座位。

Agent:美国航空和美联航的航班都有座位。

Adrian:联航不错，票要多少钱？

Agent:你的票要98美元。

Adrian:天啊，这么便宜！要飞多久啊？

Agent:从洛杉矶到维加斯要花至少1小时。

Adrian:不错，还算方便，我其实可以开车去的！

Agent:你想要靠窗的座位还是靠走道的位子？

Adrian:哦，当然是靠窗的。

Agent:没问题！这是你的行程表，请仔细阅读。

Adrian:一切还算顺利，我怎么付费？

Agent:你现在就可以付钱给我，这是你的机票，先生。你的飞机是13号上午8：30起飞。

Adrian:好极了，谢谢你！

Agent:祝你在维加斯玩得开心！
