W: John, could you come to my office? I need to talk to you.

M: Sure. I'll be there as soon as I finish this document.

W: No. Come here right now.

M: Ok. What's the matter?

W: I am sorry to say that we have to let you go, John.

M: Why? I work very hard.

W: Well. You are working hard but not efficiently, and you don't work well with other employees.

M: Well. Some of those other guys are not the same kind I’d like to communicate with, but if that's important to you, I will try to get along with them.

W: I am afraid it's too late. We are downsizing our work force and you will have to go.

M: It's unfair.

W: We can give you the option of resigning rather than being eliminated, because it will look better on your resume when you apply for another job if you resign.

M: Ok. I need to think about that for a while.

W: All right. But let me know your decision before the end of the day.

W：John，你能到我办公室来一下吗？我要和你谈谈。

M：好的，我一弄完这个文件就来。

W：不，现在就来。

M：好吧，什么事？

W：很遗憾，我们得让你走了，John。

M：为什么？我工作非常努力。

W：这个嘛你是很努力，但是效率不高。另外，你和其他雇员的工作配合也不太好。

M：因为那些人里面有一些是我不想和他们交流的，不过如果这件事在你看来很重要的话，我会注意与他们好好相处的。

W：恐怕太晚了，我们正在精简人员，你不得不走了。

M：这不公平。

W：你可以选择辞职，而不是被终止工作。如果你辞职的话，再找工作时，简历上这样说明会好看一些。

M：好吧，那我得考虑考虑。

W：好吧，不过要让我在下班前知道结果。
