大家了解,人既然是社会动物,就需要和别的人交际。处置好办公室里的人际关系是一件非常有挑战的事情。

在公司里,你或许是个秘书,你或许是管投资理财务的职员,你或许负责管理档案,你或许负责管理人力资源,总之几乎你得每天待在办公室里,坐在办公桌旁处置堆积如山的文件,天天你有许很多多的杂事要处置,天天你有快乐,但更多的是不顺心,由于你是人,你需要与周围的同事和平共处,你需要克制忍耐;可又由于你是有血有肉的活生生的人,你要发泄(不然你会得心脏病),你要抱怨(由于憋在肚子里你会感到对不起自己):为什麽你一直在办公室里吸烟?为什麽他工作中一直犯如此那样的错误,害得我要在他的後面忙来忙去?为什麽一到快要下班了,他们还要给我这麽多工作?哪个又拿我的钢笔了?害得我找也找不到。这类事情虽然琐碎,但或许你天天都要碰到。下面是一些例句,你可能会从中掌握如何用英语发牢骚:

1. Yech...it is a beautiful day out. And here I am stuck inside the office with all this paper work.
(哎,外面天气那麽好,我却得守在办公室内处置这类文件。)
