职场白领口语对话第26期:仔细阅读新公司的各项规定

【Trancript】

Security regulations

A：Lucy, I’d like to fix the light in the corridor, it keeps flashing, which drives me crazy. Would you like to help me with the ladder?

B：Monica, wait a moment. I think we’d better call the repair man to do it.

A：I think I can handle it by myself.

B：I’d like you to have a look at the safety manual of our company.

A：I see. If I got hurt when fixing the light, even during office hours, I wouldn’t get compensation from our company since repairing is not my responsibility.

B：Other company rules also need your attention.

A：Like this one?

B：Never wear loose clothes or hair when operating the shredder.

A：Yeah, thank you for telling me.

B：Don’t mention it.

【Translation】

安全规定

A：Lucy，我想修一下走廊的灯，它总是在闪啊闪的，很烦人。你能不能帮我扶一下梯子？

B：Monica，等一下。我觉得我们还是找个修理工过来比较好。

A：我可以自己修好的。

B：我觉得你还是看看公司的安全手册比较好。

A：我知道了。如果我因为修灯受伤了，就算我是在工作时间，也不会得到赔偿的，因为修理并不是我的工作指责所在。

B：其他的公司制度也要了解一下。

A：像这样的？

B：在用碎纸机的时候，要注意不要穿宽松的衣裤，或者是耷拉着头发。

A：好的，谢谢你。

B：不用客气。
