Colleague: I've been so tired recently. I've been trying, but I don't think I'm up to this job.

Shirley: You need to take a break, maybe a vacation.

Colleague: Oh, yes, indeed. I've run out of steam. To be honest, I want to be in a different environment.

Shirley: Is that so?

Colleague: Yes, I don't want to be stuck in a rut. I want to move on.

Shirley: Have you decided?

Colleague: Yes. I want to get a better job.

Shirley: Could you tell me why you want to quit?

Colleague: I quit just because of the dissatisfying salary and the trouble in getting along with my colleagues.

Shirley: Oh, that's terrible. Do you want to get a higher salary in our company?

Colleague: I'm afraid not. I've promised my girlfriend. We'll travel southwards to find a job that offers higher pay.

Shirley: OK, I'd like to say that I've really enjoyed working with you. However, I think you should work harder for your new job and then you can ask for higher pay.

Colleague: Thank you so much for your advice.

Shirley: And every best wish for your new job.

Colleague: Thank you.

同事:最近很累，我一直都很努力，但是我觉得我不能胜任这个工作。

雪莉:你需要休息一下，或许需要休假。

同事:噢，的确。我已经失去动力了。说实话，我想换个环境。

雪莉:这样？

同事:是的，我不想停滞不前，我要进步。

雪莉:你决定了？

同事:是的，我想找个更好的工作。

雪莉:能告诉我为什么要辞职吗？

同事:我辞职只是因为对薪水不满意，也很难和同事相处好。

雪莉:噢，那很糟。你想在公司拿到更高的薪酬吗？

同事:不想了。我答应过我女朋友。我们要一起到南方找个薪水高点的工作。

雪莉:好。我想说我和你共事很开心，但是你得知道你要在新工作岗位上更加努力，才可以要求更高的报酬。

同事:谢谢你的建议。

雪莉:祝你新工作里一切都好。

同事:谢谢。
