Harvey: Hi, Monica.
Monica: Hi, Harvey. Do you mind if I drop in on you for a minute?
Harvey: No problem. Have a seat. What's up?
Monica: Well, I've just been so busy lately.
Harvey: What else is new? Have you ever not been busy?
Monica: I've never been as swamped as I am now. It seems I'm spending my whole life in this office.

哈維：嗨，莫妮卡。
莫妮卡：嗨，哈維。不介意我打擾您一下吧？
哈維：沒問題。請坐。什麼事？
莫妮卡：嗯，我最近好忙。
哈維：不是一直都這樣嗎？妳有不忙的時候嗎？
莫妮卡：但我從來沒有像現在這麼忙不過來。好像我所有的生活都投注在這個辦公室了。

Conversation 2
Harvey: So you'd like a day off?
Monica: I need more than a day off, Harvey. I need help. I need another assistant editor.
Harvey: That sounds great, Monica. But where are we going to find one? It's so hard to recruit people with the right qualifications and skills.
Monica: Well, I've been thinking about Mark White. I think he could do the job.
Harvey: Mark? But we decided just a couple of months ago not to promote him to assistant editor. He's a good writer, but he lacks people skills.
會話二
哈維：所以，妳想休一天假嗎？
莫妮卡：我需要的不只是休假，哈維。我需要幫助。我需要再一位助理編輯。
哈維：聽起來不錯，莫妮卡。但是，我們要到哪裡去找人呢？要招募合格又有技巧的人實在很難。
莫妮卡：嗯，我在考慮馬克．懷特。我想他可以勝任這份工作。
哈維：馬克？可是我們幾個月前才決定不升他作助理編輯。他是個好筆者，但是他不善於處理人際關係。

Conversation 3
Monica: True. But you had that talk with him, remember? Ever since then, he's been much better. I've seen quite a turnaround.
Harvey: That's good. Maybe you're right, then. Even so, he needs training before he can supervise.
Monica: Of course he does.
Harvey: But training takes time, and we're already much too busy. We just can't afford to send him out for training. We need him here.
Monica: We don't have to send him out for training, do we? Why not let him learn on the job?
會話三
莫妮卡：沒錯。但記不記得你和他談過？從那次談話之後，他已經進步多了。我看到很大的轉變。
哈維：很好。那麼，也許妳是對的。不過就算如此，他在升任主管以前，需要接受訓練。
莫妮卡：當然。
哈維：不過訓練要花時間，而我們已經快忙不過來了。我們不能送他出去受訓。辦公室裡需要他。
莫妮卡：我們一定得送他出去受訓嗎？何不讓他邊做邊學？

Conversation 4
Harvey: Learn on the job? I suppose that would be all right.
Monica: Great!
Harvey: Just keep a couple of things in mind. You'll be the one to train him. That will take up even more of your time.
Monica: Well, to turn a phrase, "shortterm pain for long-term gain."
Harvey: And I'd like you to develop a training package as you go along. We can use it to train others in the future.
Monica: (sigh) OK.
Harvey: Finally, we'll need a new staff writer to take Mark's place. Mark can begin his supervising career by training his replacement.
會話四
哈維：邊做邊學？我想應該可以吧。
莫妮卡：太好了!
哈維：不過要記住幾件事。妳就是那個訓練他的人，這樣會花掉妳更多的時間。
莫妮卡：嗯，套句老話：「短暫的辛苦，帶來長久的利益。」
哈維：在妳進行訓練的時候，我希望妳能設計一套訓練課程。將來我們可以用它來訓練別人。
莫妮卡：（嘆氣）好吧。
哈維：最後，我們需要一位新進筆者來取代馬克的位子。馬克可以藉著訓練他的接班人，開始他的主管訓練。

Monica immediately went to Mark and told him of his promotion. He was delighted. Then she began to train him. At first, it was slow going. Monica had to spend hours explaining to Mark his new role. She had to answer his many questions and concerns. She had to observe him in action and check his work frequently. She also had to record all the things she was teaching him and compile them into a training package. Monica began to wonder if this shortterm pain would really bring long-term gain.
莫妮卡立刻去告訴馬克他升遷的消息。他高興極了。然後她開始訓練他。剛開始，進度十分緩慢。莫妮卡得花上好幾個小時的時間跟馬克解說他的新角色。她必須回答他提出的許多問題和顧慮。她必須觀察他的行動，並經常審視他的工作。她還得把她教他的東西記錄下來，編輯成訓練課程。莫妮卡開始懷疑，短暫的辛苦是否真能帶來長久的利益。

Conversation 5
Monica: Harvey, I just want to bring you up to date on Mark.
Harvey: How's he doing?
Monica: Very well. He's a quick study. He's doing a great job of training his replacement. He's even beginning to pick up some of my workload.
Harvey: That's wonderful.
Monica: Yes. Now I have time to get some on-the-job training myself.
Harvey: Training? You? To do what?
Monica: Your job! (both laugh)

莫妮卡：哈維，我只是想跟您報告一下馬克的最新狀況。
哈維：他做得如何？
莫妮卡：很好。他學得很快。他在訓練他的接班人上面做得很好。他甚至已經開始分擔我的工作量了。
哈維：太好了。
莫妮卡：是啊，現在我可有時間給我自己一點在職訓練了。
