Kazuko: I really appreciate you helping with the training of the newbies. I couldn’t have doneit without you.

我真的很感谢你帮助培训新手。没有你的帮助，我没法做到。

Martin: Don’t mention it. I remember when I was still wet behind the ears and the veterans inthe company gave me the benefit of their time and expertise. They propped me up until Icould stand on my own two feet.

不客气。我记得当我初出茅庐的时候，公司的老人花费时间教给我专业知识和技能。他们一直帮助我，直到我能自己独立。

Kazuko: I can’t imagine you as a novice. Everybody here thinks of you as the cornerstone ofthe institution.

我无法想象你是一个新手。这里的每个人都认为你是该机构的基石。

Martin: Well, that may be, but you should have seen me in the early years. I was naive andreckless. I may be more adept at my job now, but I felt inept for years.

嗯，这可能是，但是你应该看到我早些年的表现。我幼稚且鲁莽。我现在可能更擅长工作，但是多年来我觉得自己很无能。

Kazuko: I saw you talking with some of the new recruits. What advice did you give them?

我看见你谈论一些新入职的员工交谈。你想给他们提些什么建议?

Martin: I gave them the same advice that an old hand gave me when I first started: Take everypiece of advice you get with a grain of salt!

我给他们的意见和当我刚开始工作时，老手给我的意见相同，采取一切你一粒盐忠告!对于有保留地采纳每个意见。
