第 20 课:New-comer 新来的人

“When I first started this job, it took me quite a while to learn the ropes. 当我刚开始做这项工作的时候,花了很久的时间去学习它的规则。

I guess many new-comers have the same problem and have to ask their co-workers for help. 我想很多新来的人都会碰到同样的问题而必须向同事寻求帮助。

I didn't know how to use the system or where to find things. 我不明白公司的运作,找东西也不知道去哪里找。

On my first day I wandered around for twenty minutes before I could find the copy room. 第一天上班我转悠了20分钟才找到复印室在哪里。

Fortunately my co-workers were very helpful and supportive, so it didn't take me long to get the hang of it. 幸运的是,我的同事都肯帮忙,而且都支持我。不久我摸清了工作情况。

I just kept working hard, and in the end all my hard work really paid off. 我一直以来都努力工作,最终辛苦工作终于有了回报。

Things are going just great!” 事情简直棒极了。
