小段 Little Duan 小万 Little Wan

小段：What happened? What (are) you thinking-about sitting here (as) one “ge” (of) person (alone by yourself)?

小万：(There has been) one “jian” (of) thing encountered (in my) company-inside, I (do) not know what (I) should do.

小段：What thing?

小万：(It) is like-this, (the) company “exists” (one) “ge” (of) interview next Monday, (and I) need to select ten “ge” (of) people from these resumes-inside. Who knew “as late as” just-now (when I) took(-with-the-result-of-)(getting-)out these resumes(,) (did I) saw (that the) resumes-inside “existed” one “ge” (of) person (who) was (someone) I knew, but he should not know (that) I (am) in this “jia” (of) company.

小段：What’s-wrong-with this “ge” (of) person?

小万：I know (the) university he attended (was) not-bad, (and he) also (has) done(-with-the-result-of-)(getting-)out not (just) a-little achievement in (his) company (of) the-past, (there) “existed” several “ge” (of) very big projects (which he) all accomplished(-to-the-state-)(that were) not-bad. But I know quite several “ge” (of) colleagues (who have) worked together with him, (and) almost every “ge” (of) person all expressed (that they felt) very annoyed towards him.

小段：(I) understood (now).

小万：(The) future development direction (of the) company quite needs people (who) can (-) “ba”{indicating the handling of} work (-) done well, but I worry (that) if(, in the) time (that is after) he comes(, he) and project colleagues’ relationship (is) not good, (it) also is (one) “ge” (of) big problem, because our company culture (-) “ba”{indicating the handling of} work environment (-) treated(-to-the-state-)(that it is) very important.

小段：Your worry is not not-having basis. Apart-from(-and-)outside-of you, (does there) additionally “exist” other colleagues to join (the) interview (of) this time?

小万：(There) additionally “exists” other two “ming” (of) colleagues. If (it) were you, would you (-) “ba”{indicating the handling of} (the) thing about this “ge” (of) person (-) tell (these) colleagues?

小段：I probably will not. I think (it) is (like-)this, these people (who) sent (their) resumes, everyone “ge” (of) person (of them) certainly all has aspects of good and aspects of not good. You only know this one “ge” (of) person, so you also only know what problem this one “ge” (of) person has. If (you) must intend to seek, other people also have-the-potential-to be-able-to (be) sought-out problems. If you (do) not say “whatever/(anything)”, then (the) opportunity towards all (of) every “ge” (of) person all is the-same.

小万：(It) seems to be like-this, I think you said (it) very right.

小段：And-also, you (do) not know what things (have) happened (when) he (was) in his company (of) the-past, (and you) also (do) not know how-much of (the) words his colleagues (of) the-past said can (be) trusted. If he really (is) having-problems that-much, (at the) time (of the) interview, (do) you think everyone will not-have-the-potential-to be-able-to see(-and-tell)?

小万：You say (it) so correct, then I only need to (-) “ba”{indicating the handling of} this “jian” (of) thing (which is that I) know him (-) tell (my) colleagues(,) (and) then (it will) work. I always thought (I) should (-) “ba”{indicating the handling of} what (I my)self know (-) all tell(-with-the-result-of-)(getting-)out, “as late as” (having) heard what you said (already), (then) I understand, actually I should not say (it).

小段：Right, be-at-ease, do (it) “exactly” like-this.
