第22課：誠實正直的?- 15

【迷你小對話】

A: What’s the plan to deal with this problem with the boss? Put all our cards on the table?
B: Yeah, give it to him straight from the shoulder.
A: That may be easier said than done; but when we tell him the truth, he’ll probably be glad we were willing to talk turkey with him.

A: 你打算怎么和老板說這個問題？直接攤牌嗎？
B: 對，索性就跟他打開天窗說亮話。
A: 說起來容易，做起來難。不過如果我們告訴他實情，他也許會因為我們愿意對他實話實說而感到高興呢。
