朋友想辞职★★★★★
甲
You said you wanted to quit. Do you mean it, or did you say it at three in the morning?
你说你想辞职。你是认真的，还是凌晨三点说胡话？
乙
I do not know any more. That is the problem.
我现在不知道了。这就是问题。
甲
Then let us not decide tonight. Can I ask one thing, though — is it the work, or is it the building and the people in it?
那我们今晚不做决定。不过我能问一件事吗——是工作本身，还是那栋楼和楼里的人？
乙
The work I can still do on a good day. It is being told I do not work well with others because I want to leave at six.
状态好的日子我还做得下去。让我受不了的是，我想六点下班，他们说我不合群。
甲
That is a different problem. That is a place problem, and you can leave a place. The work problem needs a new job.
那是另一个问题。那种问题你换个地方就行；工作那种你得换一份工作。
乙
I have a mortgage and eleven weeks of savings.
我有房贷，存款只够十一周。
甲
I know. So if you ever want a plan instead of kind words, I can ask my cousin about the firm that took two people from our old office. No promise, and nobody has to know you called.
我知道。所以哪天你要是想要一个计划，而不是听几句好话，我可以去问我表哥，他公司去年从我们老办公室收了两个人。不保证，也没人需要知道你打过电话。
乙
That is the first thing tonight that sounds possible.
这是今晚第一件听起来可行的事。
甲
Then we will leave it there, and you will sleep.
那就先放到这里，你去睡。
