    Dialog
    英語情景對話
    Phillip: So, have you heard the news?
    男:嘿,有沒有聽見什么風聲
    Mary: No, what's up?
    女:沒有,怎么了
    Phillip: I just heard that the company is planning to lay off 20 percent of the employees in the next two months.
    男:我剛聽說公司要在兩個月內(nèi)裁員20%。
    Mary: You're kidding! I knew they were looking for some way to cut costs with the lower profits this quarter, but I didn't think that they would start laying people off.
    女:開玩笑呢吧。我知道這個季度利潤下降了,公司正在找辦法降低成本,不過我沒想到他們就要開始裁員了
    Phillip: Yeah, it's hard to believe. That'll be hundreds of people losing their jobs. It's not just the salary. It means losing benefits, too. You know, I hope it's not going to be Sebastian. With three kids and a wife who's sick, that would really be a blow.
    男:是呀,確實難以置信。又得有上百人丟飯碗經(jīng)。不僅工資沒了,連福利也沒有了。希望這回不要輪上賽班斯汀,他有三個孩子,老婆還病了,這會對他是一個嚴重打擊。
    Mary: When will we know who's getting axed?
    女:我們什么時候能知道誰被裁員了呢
    Phillip: I don't know if we'll get any warning. We might just get a pink slip on a Friday afternoon. Well, I'm going to start job hunting right now.
    男:我都不知道會不會給我們提前通知。也許周五下午我們就接到裁員的通知。看來,我得馬上找工作了
    Mary: That's a good idea. The first thing I'm going to do is to call all of my friends and business contacts to let them know I'm on the market. Hopefully, I'll get a line on something soon. Thanks for letting me know.
    女:是個好主意。我首先要打電話給我的所有朋友與生意伙伴,告訴他們我在找工作。說不定什么時候我就找到新機會了呢。謝謝你告訴我這個消息。
    Phillip: Sure. If I hear anything else, I'll let you know.
    男:當然得告訴你,有新的消息我還會通知你。
    Mary: Thanks. I'll do the same.
    女:謝謝,我也一樣會的。
