- }, u6 [% t0 a7 z0 r在公司里,你也许是个秘书,你也许是管理财务的人员,你也许负责管理档案,你也许负责管理人力资源……,总之几乎你得天天待在办公室里,坐在办公桌旁处理堆积如山的文件,每天你有许许多多的杂事要处理,每天你有快乐,但更多的是不顺心,因为你是人,你需要与周围的同事和平共处,你需要克制忍耐;可又因为你是有血有肉的活生生的人,你要发泄(否则你会得心脏病),你要抱怨(因为憋在肚子里你会感到对不起自己):为什麽你总是在办公室里抽烟?为什麽他工作中总是犯这样那样的错误,害得我要在他的後面忙来忙去?为什麽一到快要下班了,他们还要给我这麽多工作?谁又拿我的钢笔了?害得我找也找不到……。这些事情虽然琐碎,但也许你每天都要碰到。下面是一些例句,你或许会从中学会怎样用英语发牢骚: ; F# |6 R5 V/ p% x
