Colleague: I can't stand the stupid guy any longer. It's unbelievable.

Benjamin: Oh, my dear lady, take it easy. You should forgive a green hand like him.

Colleague: He does everything so mindlessly that he is going to drive me crazy.

Benjamin: I suggest you talk with him and teach him how to deal with the problems.

Colleague: I've told him how to do that several times, but he's never listened to me.

Benjamin: Maybe you should communicate with him just like a friend, not a boss.

Colleague: Oh, I always have difficulty in getting along with the staff.

Benjamin: Just take them for your good friends and have a talk with them as we do. Make sure you won't lose your temper!

Colleague: Oh, so bad. I'm afraid I'll change the image of myself.

Benjamin: No, it's unnecessary. Just respect the staff and their own opinions.

Colleague: But sometimes they offer some useless proposals, it's awfully¹ useless.

Benjamin: Oh, no one is perfect.

Colleague: That's right. I should speak to them in a polite way.

Benjamin: All men are equal in the eyes of the God. We have the equal partnership² in team.

Colleague: Thanks very much and you're very eloquent³.

Benjamin: Thanks for saying that.

同事:不能忍受那个愚蠢的家伙了，真是不可思议。

本杰明:噢，亲爱的女士，别放心上。原谅像他那样的新手吧！

同事:他做事总是没脑子，快把我逼疯了。

本杰明:我建议你和他谈谈，也教教他怎么处理那些问题。

同事:我告诉过他怎么做很多次了，但是他总是不听我的。

本杰明:或许你应该和他以朋友的身份谈谈，而不是上司。

同事:噢，我总是和下属很难相处。

本杰明:把他们当成你的好朋友，和他们讨论就像我们两一样。还要保证不发脾气。

同事:噢，太糟了。恐怕我要改变我的形象了。

本杰明:不，不需要。尊重他们和他们的想法。

同事:但是他们有时候交上来一些没用的提议，非常没用。

本杰明:没人是完美的。

同事:对啊。我应该对他们客气点。

本杰明:上帝眼里每个人都是公平的。我们在团队里应该是平等的。

同事:非常感谢，你总是说话很得体。

本杰明:谢谢你这样说。
