语境记单词
The following passage is not fiction, but more like a true story. The boss
arranged an appointment for the saleswoman to talk with a customer. He did this in
order to test out her integrity. He promised to raise her salary and even give her
a bonus if she succeeded. She knew that to climb the ladder of success she couldn't
miss the opportunity. But it seemed to her that the boss was doing something absurd.
Maybe there was something wrong with her makeup, like her red nails. The boss
claimed that the saleswoman was guilty and suspended her from her post. Then
he declared she would be dismissed, whereas she tried to justify her dignity. She
thought it was ridiculous of the boss to do so.
下面的段落不是虚构的事,而更像是一个真实的故事。老板安排了一个约
会，让女售货员与一名顾客交谈。他这样做是为了检验她的诚实正直。他答应
给她加薪，如果她成功了,甚至还给她发奖金。她知道要攀登成功的阶梯，就不
能错过这个机会。但在她看来，老板在做一件荒唐的事。也许她的妆容出了问
题，比如她的红指甲。老板声称女售货员有过失，并把她停职。之 后他宣布她
将被解雇,然而她却极力为自己的尊严辩解。她认为老板这样做很可笑。
Rumour has it that prices will rise sharply. For example, transportation fares will
double and flour will reach $10 per kilogramme on a weekly basis. Alien tourism
will also be greatly affected. One salesman calculates that the sales of some goods are
less than 50% of the original. What's more some venues have also been closed. But
the chairwoman of the consumers' association presumes that it is just a rumour,
which hasn't been confirmed.
有传闻说，物价将大幅上涨。例如，交通费用将翻倍，面粉一周周地上
涨，将达到每千克 10 美元。国外旅游也会受到很大影响。一名销售人员计
算，有些商品的销售额还不到原来的 50%。另外，一些活动场馆也被关闭。但
消费者协会女主席推定这只是谣言，并没有得到证实。
My niece works in the labour department of a large company. The company
deals in leather, lamps, handkerchiefs, panels, levers and other products. When
there is a conflict between labour and management in the company, they actively
participate in the settlement, and never make excuses for inaction. If the line
between right and wrong is blurred, they will weigh the pros and cons and deal with
them properly until they manage to smooth out the division. My niece has an urge
to get promoted, and she is superior to her colleagues in every aspect. She is realistic
and never makes an overstatement. Soon she took over as head of the department.
Once, a worker in the company's workshop operated a machine at random. He
couldn't grip the lever tightly, but pulled it backwards two inches, over
the maximum length. Immediately the machine was jolting and flipping. After
学科网（北京）股份有限公司a puff of smoke, the device exploded. The operating worker was stunned at once and
felt hazy about what had happened. Other workers helped turn out the power
and fetched some water. They cleaned up the smoke and mud at a fast pace until the
hidden danger fell away.
我侄女在一家大公司的劳工处工作。该公司经营皮革、灯具、手帕、控制
板、操纵杆和其他产品。当公司里出现劳资冲突时，他们积极参与解决，从不
找借口而不作为。如果是非界限模糊，他们会权衡利弊，妥善处理，直到他们
设法消除分歧。我侄女有强烈的升职愿望，并且她在各方面都比她的同事优
秀。她实事求是，从不夸大其词。她很快接任部门的主管。有 次，公司车间里
的一名工人随意操作一台机器。他没能紧紧抓住操纵杆，而是把它向后拉了两
英寸，超过了最大长度。机器立即开始摇晃和翻转。一股烟冒出来之后，装置
爆炸了。操作工人一下子惊呆了,对发生的事情感到茫然。其他工人帮忙关掉了
电源，取了一些水。他们迅速地清除了烟和泥浆，直到隐患消失。
