A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
办公室
Office
An office boy in London was the lowest of the low. The office boy was the tea boy. He would be the dog's body: It means someone who would do anything at all. I was quite prepared for that and enjoyed it.
伦敦的一个勤杂工是最低等的。勤杂工就是茶水工。他会是狗的身体:意思是什么都愿意做的人。我对此早有准备,也很享受。
I don't think I am a star; I consider myself like any other girl who is of my age. Others may be working in office and doing different jobs. Similarly I don't think I am doing something different... I am also working.
我不认为我是一个明星;我认为自己和其他同龄女孩一样。其他人可能在办公室工作,做不同的工作。同样,我不认为我在做什么不同的事情……我也在工作。
Well, just that there would be somebody in the office and the voters - it was more or less an understanding in the entire community, as long as that person was doing a good job on the merits, nobody was going to run against him.
好吧,只是在办公室里会有个人和选民——这或多或少是整个社区的共识,只要那个人在工作上表现出色,就没有人会和他竞争。
The business manager was doing fine back in his office while they were out on the line, hungry. And, so they started to see a lot of that and there was, that maybe the leadership had its own cause. More so than the miners, you know, it was like a power struggle.
当他们饿着肚子去接电话时,业务经理在他的办公室里过得很好。所以,他们开始看到很多这样的事情,也许领导层有自己的原因。比起矿工们,这更像是一场权力斗争。
You know, I go to work in a great office every day, and the amount of freedom that goes with being a pro golfer on the tour is awesome. So I get to enjoy my weeks off away from the course, and then I get to go to work on some of the best golf courses in the world out here.
你知道,我每天都在一个很棒的办公室里工作,作为职业高尔夫球手在旅行中享受的自由是非常棒的。所以我可以享受我离开球场的几周,然后我可以去世界上最好的高尔夫球场工作。
My office has a view of low-cost housing, old East German prefabricated apartment buildings. It isn't an attractive view, but it's very helpful, because it reminds me to ask myself, whenever there is a decision to be made, whether the people who live there can afford our decisions.
从我的办公室可以看到廉价住房和东德的预制公寓楼。这不是一个吸引人的景色,但它很有帮助,因为它提醒我问自己,无论什么时候要做决定,住在那里的人是否能负担得起我们的决定。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

When I took office, only high energy physicists had ever heard of what is called the Worldwide Web... Now even my cat has its own page.
当我就职时,只有高能物理学家听说过所谓的万维网……现在连我的猫都有自己的页面了。
You know, one of the things I've learnt since coming out of office is how much easier it is to give the advice than take the decision. I mean, you know, it's tough.
你知道,自从我卸任以来,我学到的一件事是,给出建议比做出决定容易得多。我是说,你知道,这很难。
My country has contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.
我的国家为我安排了一个最微不足道的职位,这个职位是人类的发明或想象力所构想出来的。
