英语博客:ESL Podcast 776 – Getting Praise and Recognition(在线收听

   Rene: Hey, look who’s here. It’s the company’s golden boy.

  Bruno: Very funny.
  Rene: I’m not joking. First, you’re recognized at the annual meeting for your work in the company, and then you get a commendation from the city for your volunteer work. I’m basking in your reflected glory.
  Bruno: I didn’t ask for either honor, as you well know. I’m not a glory hound.
  Rene: Yes, and that’s what makes it even more galling. You don’t have to go seeking your glory; it comes to you.
  Bruno: Knock it off! I like praise as much as the next guy, but I’d rather not be in the limelight.
  Rene: I know. You’re exceptional and you’re modest about it. You’re the perfect guy. You leave us mere mortals in the dust.
  Bruno: I’m leaving. I know you love giving me a hard time, but remember this: I give as good as I get – and I have a long memory!
  Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
