關于禁止公司戀情的看法

Nicole：How are things with Steve?

妮可：妳和史提夫的事情如何？

Jane：I don't know. I'm becoming paranoid at the office.

阿珍︰我不知道耶。我在辦公室裡變得疑神疑鬼的。

Nicole：Relax. Nobody will find out that you虐e dating.

妮可：安心啦。沒有人會發現你們在交往。

Jane：Whatever. It's not fair that we can't date openly.

阿珍︰無所謂。反正我們不能公開交往實在很不公平。

Nicole：Well, I can see how it could cause problems in the office.

妮可：嗯，我可以理解這可能在辦公室造成的困擾。

Jane：Do you think that my relationship with Steve is affecting my work?

阿珍︰妳認為我和史提夫的戀情影響到我的工作嗎？

Nicole：No, but you can't expect everybody to be as mature as the two of you.

妮可：不會啊，但妳無法期望每個人都像你們倆一樣成熟。

Jane：I know. I just don't like having to sneak around.

阿珍︰我知道。我只是不喜歡偷偷摸摸的。
