　　當(dāng)今職場瞬息萬變，當(dāng)你的朋友成為你的上司，你會怎么對待呢？

　　陳豪在北京的ABC美國公司工作，美國同事Amy到辦公室去找他。

　　(Office ambience)

　　A：Good morning, Chen Hao..

　　CH：Hi Amy.

　　A: I heard your best friend Brad got a promotion. Is that true?

　　CH: 沒錯。Brad如今是我的老板了。

　　A: That can make things awkward.

　　CH: 是啊，我們倆兒從好朋友一下子變成了上下級的關(guān)系，還真不好辦。

　　A: I think you will be able to work it out since you already recognize that things will be different.

　　CH: 人事處昨天才通知的他，所以我們還沒有機(jī)會談起這件事。

　　A: That's one of the first things you need to do and soon.

　　CH: 急什么呀，他現(xiàn)在肯定特別忙。

　　A: Everyone knows that you and Brad are close friends. They are going to be watching to see what happens.

　　CH: 別說別人了，連我都不知道要怎么處理這種關(guān)系。

　　A: It could go two entirely different ways.

　　CH: 兩種完全不一樣的可能？哪兩種？

　　A: Because you are his best friend, he might be tempted to give you special treatment by offering you the best assignments and according you unusual favors.

　　CH: 如果因為私人關(guān)系好，他就在工作上照顧我，那其他人肯定會有意見。

　　A: Yes. It would affect the way everyone views Brad. He could lose the respect of everyone who works with him.

　　C: 另外一種可能性呢？

　　A: I don't have time to talk about that right now, Chen Hao. Shall we meet for tea this afternoon and continue our conversation?

　　C: 好，那我們下午見。

　　Mary和Chen Hao兩人下午一起喝茶。

　　CH: Amy, 我們上午說，如果Brad特別關(guān)照我，那對我們兩人都不利。你說的另外一種可能是什么？

　　A: He might go out of his way to avoid any hint of giving you special treatment and treat you more rigidly than the others.

　　C: 你的意思是，他為了避嫌，可能對我的要求會格外嚴(yán)格？

　　A: He might pass you over for assignments that you might otherwise have gotten.

　　CH: 這聽起來可不太妙。那下班以后呢？我們以前總是一起去打乒乓球，或是一起去喝酒。

　　A: I know that and I have heard you share some funny stories about each other. You'll have to be more careful about the tales you tell about your adventures.

　　CH: 不能再跟同事講Brad的故事？為什么？

　　A: Others might misunderstand and think that you are trying to impress them with the fact that you and the boss are best friends.

　　CH: 要把工作和私人關(guān)系分開，還真不簡單。你覺得我有必要換到別的部門去嗎？

　　A: That's a possibility if things don't work out. If you can't accept Brad as your boss or he can't make the leap to being your supervisor, a change might be the only solution.

　　CH: 我想我們兩人一定能做到公私分開。
