时差N小时 爱慕对象破坏办公室和谐

Dear Annie:

亲爱的安妮：

My husband and I have been married for three years, and we both teach at the same high school. Last semester, a new female teacher took quite a liking¹ to my husband, who is 20 years her senior. They started meeting each other a few times a week, but they were not discreet² and were soon the talk of both the faculty³ and students.

我和丈夫结婚已经三年了，我们都在同一所高中任教。上个学期，一个新来的女教师迷上了我的丈夫。他比她大二十岁。他们开始一个星期见几次面。他们露出了马脚，很快就被其他教师和学生指指点点。

I cannot begin to describe the pain, humiliation⁴ and betrayal. I believe they stopped contacting each other over the summer, but school has started up again. There is no way our marriage can survive this interference, but I wholeheartedly believe we can get past this if she is not in the picture.

我无法描述我的痛苦、羞辱和背叛感。我相信他们在暑假时停止了联系，但开学之后又好上了。有没有办法让我们的婚姻持续下去？我完全相信，如果不是她的话，我们肯定能够渡过难关。

Being a new teacher, she has no job protection. Should I go to the administration, expose the affair and get her fired? － Not Teacher's Pet

作为一个新老师，她没有就业保障。我应该去管理部门揭露她，炒她的鱿鱼吗？——不被老师喜欢的人

Dear Not:

亲爱的“不被老师喜欢的人”：

We hope you are not blaming this young woman entirely⁵ for the affair. Your husband made the decision to cheat and acted on it. You can give him the choice of reporting the affair to the administration, taking a leave of absence or finding another position. Either way, please get some counselling because you have a lot of trust to rebuild, regardless of what happens to this woman.

希望你不要把责任完全推到这个年轻女子身上。你的丈夫也担有欺骗和出轨的责任。你可以告诉你的丈夫，要么告诉管理部门，要么休一段时间的假，要么另寻

一份工作，让他任选其一。无论选择哪种方式，你都需要接受一些咨询，因为不论这个女人发生了什么事，你还希望重建你们的婚姻。
