白领快餐口语第22期:新公司的办公环境不错~

　　【Trancript】
A new office
A：So, Monica, how do you like your new office?
B：Well, I love it. The room is special and clean with big windows and a lot of sunshine. There are plants along the corridor¹. Especially, I got my own desk with computer and telephone. Such a great place!That’s very good. I once turn down a job offer just because the office is awful.
A：What was so bad about it?
B：Small rooms, small window, a small desk shared by three people. I would have been interrupted² all the time and for sure not be able to deliver good work.
A：Sounds bad! Lucky you! You didn’t take that job. I think a good office environment is also important to work efficiently³.
B：Totally agree.
A：By the way, the number of the telephone on your desk is extension⁴ 506. You can pick up your office supplies from the supply room at the end of the corridor.

一间新的办公室
A：Monica，喜欢你的新办公室吗？
B：恩，喜欢。房间设计的很特别，而且很干净，大大的窗户可以享受阳光。通道上还有很多植物。更要紧的是，我有自己的办公桌，电脑和电话。真的很不错。我之前去过一个公司，办公室环境很不好，我就拒绝了。
A：怎么个差法？
B：很小，窗户也小，3个人用一个桌子，工作的时候很容易被别人打扰，也很难做好自己的工作。
A：看起来确实是。还好，你没有接那份工作。我觉得一个良好的办公环境也是很重要的。
B：完全同意。
A：顺便说一下，你的办公电话分机号是506，你可以到库房去领办公用品，库房在走廊的另一头。
