    The next week
    Lucy: I just got my paycheck. There was like ten thousand NT missing from it.
    Troy: This is getting way out of hand. SHE's using every excuse to dock our pay.
    Lucy: She "fined" me for taking an extra coffee break.
    Troy: Well, there's no way she'll be able to get away with this much longer.
    Lucy: Says who? People get away with abusing their subordinates all the time. We have to do something.
    Troy: No way. I'm not going to be dragged into office politics by that woman. I have two children to support.

    隔周
    露西:我剛拿到我的薪水支票。里面大概有一萬塊不見了。
    特洛伊:這真的是太夸張了。她用一堆借口扣我們的薪水。
    露西:她為了一個額外的咖啡休息時間罰我錢。
    特洛伊:呃,她不可能在這樣快活太久了。
    露西:誰說的?人們一向虐待下屬也不會受逞罰。我們一定要有些行動。
