鲍勃是一家家具店的经理,而他的老板皮特对店里的销售情况不太满意。由于鲍勃新的广告宣传没起到什么作用,所以皮特打算开除他。下面我们来看一下这对"主仆"之间的对话。

Peter: Bob, I hate to break the news, but our sales were down again last month.

Bob: Down again, peter?

Peter: Yeah. These days, everybody is shopping at our competition, Honest Abe’s Furniture Store.

Bob: But everything there costs an arm and a leg.

Peter: That’s true. They do charge top dollar.

Bob: And their sales people are very strange. They really give me the creeps!

Peter: Well, they must be doing something right over there. Meanwhile, we are about to go belly-up.

Bob: I am sorry to hear that. I thought my new advertising campaign would save the world!

Peter: Let’s face it: your advertising campaign was a real flop!

Bob: Well then I’ll go back to the drawing board.

Peter: It’s too late for that. you are fired!

Bob: What? You’re giving me the ax??

Peter: Yes, I’ve already found a new manager. She’s as sharp as a tack.

Bob: Can’t we even talk this over? After all, I’ve been working here for ten years!

Peter: There’s no point in arguing, Bob. I’ve already made up my mind.

Bob: Oh well, at least I don’t have to put up with your nonsense any more! Good-bye to you and good-bye to this dead-end job!

Peter: Please leave before I lose my temper!
