生活中，工作中难免会有一些让人生气的事情，在职场中，人们是怎么谈论的呢？我们来看下面几段小对话吧。

（1）

Clara: What happened just now, Mark? You weren't very kind when you were talking with Ted. What do you have against him?
克拉拉：马克，刚才怎么回事？你和泰德说话的态度不是很好啊。你对他有什么不满吗？

Mark: I just don't like him at all.
马克：我就是不喜欢他。

Clara: Why? Is there something in particular?
克拉拉：为什么？有什么特别的原因吗？

Mark: Well, he has such a mean streak in him! I went to his office to ask him for some help, and he simply turned up his nose at me! I was so angry that I wanted to slap him! He wasn't like that before he got the job. Now he's such a snob!
马克：他太刻薄太无礼了！我刚才去他办公室找他帮忙，他理都不理我一下！气死我了，真想扇他一巴掌！他没坐这个职位以前不是这样的，真势利！

Clara: You want my advice? Let it go.
克拉拉：想听听我的建议吗？别去想了。

Mark: Of course, logically I know you're right, but somehow I just can't bring myself to forget it. Even the mention of his name starts me fuming.

Jane: You look so angry. What happened?
简：你看起来很生气呀，怎么了？

Mark: Nothing. I'd rather not talk about it. Just don't ask.
马克：没什么，我不想说，所以别问了。

Jane: Come on. I think you need to let off some steam. Besides, you shouldn't keep your feelings pent up. They'll eat you alive. So, talk to me.
简：来吧，我觉得你应该把愤怒发泄出来。而且不能压抑自己的情绪，它们会吞了你的。跟我说说。
Mark: All right. This morning I took my car to the garage to have them check the air-conditioner. They only gave it a once-over, refilled it with some Freon, and charged me 300 bucks!
马克：好吧。我今天早上去修车厂修车里的空调，他们就随便看了一下，加了点氟利昂，就要我300块钱！

Jane: No wonder you're livid. I'd be mad, too, if someone ripped me off like that.
简：怪不得你脸都绿了。如果人家这么打发我的话，我也会很生气的。

Mark: Yeah. AND they were rude. They said I didn't know anything about cars, which I don't, but they didn't have to be so blunt!
马克：是啊，更过分的是他们很无礼。他们说我根本不懂车，我是不懂，可是他们也不能这么说我呀！

Jane: Sounds like you got a raw deal! Maybe you should file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency.
简：看来你真是受到了很糟的待遇。你可以向消费者保护协会投诉他们。
