W: I don't know. You know what they say about office romances.

M: No, I don't. What do they say about office romances?
不，我不知道。他们怎么说办公室恋情的？

W: They say you shouldn't mix love and work.
他们说你们不应该把爱情和工作混在一起。

M: That's silly. What I do on my own time is no one else’s business. Besides, it's pretty hard to meet people outside of the office when we spend long hours here.
真是可笑。我在自己的时间做的事与他人何干。另外，我们在这里的时间这么长，很难在办公室以外认识人。

W: You’ve got a point. Once I dated one of my supervisors and all of my co-workers accused him of favoritism. Then when the relationship went bad, he fired me.
你说得有道理。我曾经和我的管理者约会，我所有的同事都指责他偏袒。然后当关系变坏时，他就炒了我。

M: People fall in love with people they work with. That's a fact.
人们会爱上和他们一起工作的人。这是一个事实。

W: That may be true, but I don't want an inter-office relationship to affect my productivity.
这可能是真的，但是我不想办公室里的恋爱关系影响我的工作效率。

如果是这样，它只会让你更有工作效率，因为我们可以互相支持。

W: You are sounding like we are already married.
听起来好像我们已经结婚了。

M: Good grief. All I did was ask you out. I am sorry.
天哪！我只想叫你出去玩。我很抱歉。

W: Well, I don't feel right about it.
额，我觉得那样不合适。

M: I am talking about dinner tonight, not a lifetime.
我是说今晚的晚餐，不是一辈子。

W: Most starts with dinner, but then it gets out of hand. Besides, haven't you asked out every woman in the entire office?
很多都是从吃晚餐开始，但是接着就无法控制了。另外，你没有叫全办公室的女人出去吗？

M: I like company.
我喜欢公司。

W: Company? I heard about you from Linda. She said you were an octopus!
公司？我听琳达说过你。她说你是一只章鱼！

M: What can I say? I am a passionate guy.
我还能说什么？我是一个充满激情的人。

W: Well, I hope you can find something else to be passionate about.
额，我希望你能找一些别的事去爱好。

你做梦。如果你不介意，我还有一些工作要做。

M: Ok, I get the message. Hey, do you have any sisters?
好的，我明白了。嘿，你有姐妹吗？
