和老外聊天的地道口语第39期:我打算辞职跳槽了（在线收听）

B: Hi, Mary, can I have a minute?

M: sure, what's up?

B: well, actually I want to tell you that I've put in notice.

M: really? Why?

B: many reasons. I've been here for too long. Next year will be my five-year anniversary. I want a change of setting. Besides, our company is downsizing. I don't want to stay on just to be let go.

M: but they wouldn't lay you off! You are the most experienced project manager in the company.

B: maybe. But that's not kept the new boss from berathing down my neck. To be honest, I've got a better offer from another company.

M: oh that's great, congratulations! What's your new position?

B: senior director of market research. In addition to a nice pay rise it has some nice perks, like a company car, one month paid vacation,and an apartment downtown. And it's an international company so I'll have lots of chances to travel and meet new people. I'm really looking forward to it.

M: sounds a great opportunity. I bet that made the decision to leave a lot easier.

B: indeed. But let's stay in touch. I'll let you know how things go.

M: sure.
 

玛丽,我能和你说会儿话吗?
当然了,怎么了?
我其实就是想跟你说我辞职了.
真的?为什么?
有很多原因.我在这里待的时间太长了,带明年就满五年了,我想换一下工作环境.而且公司要精简人员了,我可不想最终被裁掉.
但是他们肯定不会裁你的.你可是我们公司最有经验的项目经理啊!
也许吧.但是即使是这样,我们的新头儿还总是盯着我,我实在是厌倦了被奴役的感觉.而且,实情是,我被另一家更好的公司录用了.
哦,真不错,祝贺你!你的新职位是什么呢?
市场调研高级经历. 除了薪水更高以外,这份工作还有很多额外的好处,比如公司会给我配车,还有一个月的带薪假期和一套市中心的公寓.而且这家公司走的是国际化路线,我会有很多机会去不同的地方,认识不同的人.我真的很期待.
着听起来是个很好的机会.我打赌,有了这个机会,你当时决定是否离开的时候一定容易了不少.
确实.但是我们要保持联系,我会告诉你进展情况的.
一定啊!
