职场英文口语 第274期:特殊的圣诞节(2)  

Hmm… yes… that was the next item on the end-of-year bonus.
Well… you see… there isn’t going to be a bonus this year.
What! No bonus?I’ve been working really isn’t fair.
什么！没奖金？我一直工作非常努力。这是不公平的。
Anna. You needed to break that news gently.
Explain why there’s no bonus – give them the facts?
Yes. Tell them that ’we’re operating in tough economic conditions’ and ’we need to meet our sales targets’.
And you could tell Tom to ’pull your socks up’.
Pull his socks up? Most of his socks are on the bedroom floor.
He should pick them up rather than pull them up!
No Anna! It’s a saying – it means to make more effort – do better - work harder.
But remember he is your husband now
so be gentle!
