------Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. Even Larry. He might be a pain to be around, but he is also very good at staying in budget on projects. Mary, on the other hand, spends our project money like there’s no tomorrow. Also, she is never willing to stay a little later at the office. She always leaves at 5:00 pm sharp.

-----Isn’t there anyone in the office that is a perfect co-worker? What about Bob? Everybody loves Bob. Even though he’s fresh out of college and still a bit green, he is a great co-worker.

----You are right. He is a hard worker, easy to get along with, honest, and he never steals the credit on projects. The only thing he is lacking in is experience.

----Maybe that’s why he is so nice.

每个人都有他的优缺点。甚至是拉里。他也许很难相处，但是他在工程预算方面可是很厉害。另一方面，玛丽，花起工程款项的时候像没有明天一样。并且她从来不愿意在办公室多呆一会，每天5：00准时下班。

----难道办公室就没有一个完美的同事吗？鲍伯怎么样？大家都喜欢鲍伯，虽然他刚出校门，还有点嫩，但是他是一个好同事。

----是的，他工作勤劳，容易相处。并且他从不偷工程的帐目。唯一的缺点是他缺少经验。

-----也许那就是他那么好的原因。
