The question
I am one of three directors at a small consultancy. I work long hours and travel extensively. I love my job - it is interesting and well paid - but miss spending time with my two young sons. I have decided to take six weeks non-paid leave in the summer but don t know how to convince my fellow directors that my enthusiasm and determination have not diminished. Both of them are very career-minded and are focused on becoming millionaires as soon as possible.
问题我是一家小型咨询公司的三个董事之一。我要工作很长时间、到处出差。我喜欢我的工作(既有趣、挣的又多),但是不能花时间跟两个年幼的儿子在一起。我已经决定给自己放一个为期六周的无薪暑假,却不知道该如何让另外两位董事相信我的热情和决心没有丝毫衰减。他们两位都是非常顾工作的人,一心只想尽快成为富豪。
LUCY S ANSWER
There s no point in trying to convince them your dedication has not changed. It has changed: you are no longer dedicated enough to work during summer as you d rather see your children.
不要试图让他们相信你的奉献精神没有改变,这没有什么意义。它已经改变了:在夏天,你不再会向工作投入足够的精力,因为你更想看着自己的孩子。
