KAREN： Sure. What is it？

ANNIE： I think you can give me some advice.

You have worked here longer， and I just want to know what you think.

KAREN： I'm glad to help you. But what is it you want to ask about？

ANNIE： I am worried about the meeting this morning.

KAREN： Why？ I think the meeting went well.

ANNIE： Really？

KAREN： Yes. But what are you worried about？

ANNIE： I'm afraid I was too rude.

KAREN： Rude？ You weren't rude at all， Annie. Why do you think you were rude？

ANNIE： Well， I maybe talked to Mr. Drummond too directly.

I thought I maybe said too much. I don't want him to be angry.

KAREN： I understand. But really you weren't rude at all.

You said what you thought. I think he appreciates that.

ANNIE： Really？

KAREN： Yes.

ANNIE： But I am new here， and I'm not sure he is used to that.

KAREN： You mean because you are a woman？

ANNIE： Yes. And he is the president of the company.

KAREN： Listen， Annie. You shouldn't worry about Mr. Drummond.

He is a very good man to work for. He is not sexist at all.

He appreciates people for their ideas.

And he is willing to take suggestions from men or women.

ANNIE： I am very happy to hear that， Karen.

It's good to know I’m working in such a company.

KAREN： I agree with you on that， Annie.

I've worked for Derek Drummond for nine years now.

I feel he appreciates his employees for their work， not their gender.

I would never change jobs.

ANNIE： Good. Thank you for telling me this.

KAREN： Any time. If you have a good idea， don't be afraid to speak up.

This is a company that appreciates initiative.

安妮：凯伦，你有一点时间吗？我想要问你一些事情。

凯伦：当然，有什么事呢？

安妮：我想你可以给我一些意见。

你在这儿工作比较久，我只是想了解一下你的想法。

凯伦：我很乐意帮你，但你需要问些什么？

安妮：我很担心今天早晨的会议。

凯伦：为什么？我认为那个会议很顺利。

安妮：真的吗？

凯伦：是的，但你是担心什么呢？

安妮：我很担心我有一点无礼。

凯伦：无礼？你并没有无礼，安妮。为什么你认为你很无礼？

安妮：嗯，我可能跟卓默德先生说得太直接了。

我想我可能说的太多了，我不希望他生气。

凯伦：我了解，但你并没有无礼。

你把你想的说出来，我认为他很感激。

安妮：真的吗？

凯伦：是的。

安妮：但我是新晋人员，我也不确定他是否习惯那样。

凯伦：你的意思是因为你是女人？

安妮：是的，而他是这间公司的总裁。

凯伦：听好，安妮。你不应该担心卓默德先生。

他是很好的老板，他一点都不会性别歧视。

他欣赏有思想的人。

而且他很乐意听取男人或女人给的建议。

安妮：我很高兴听到那样，凯伦。

很高兴知道我能在这样的公司工作。

凯伦：在那一方面我同意你的说法，安妮。

我已经帮迪瑞克。卓默德工作了九年。

我认为他欣赏员工的工作能力，而不是他们的性别。

我绝不会换工作的。

安妮：很好，谢谢你告诉我这个。

凯伦：任何时间，如果你有什么好的意见，不要害怕说出来。

这个公司是欣赏提议的。
