Katherine and Ann are at an annual staff outing.
凱薩琳和安正在參加一年一度的員工旅遊。
K: It's funny, I'm never excited about these corporate outings, but I always have fun when I get here.
說來有趣，我從未期待過公司旅遊，但每次參加又會玩得很開心。
A: Ha, I feel the same way. I think it's because management gets so enthusiastic about it. It's hard not to get swept up in their excitement.
哈，我也這麼覺得。我想這是因為高層對這非常熱衷，很難不被他們的興奮之情所影響。
K: Absolutely. Now, are the afternoon team-building exercises mandatory?
正是。下午的團隊建立活動是強制參加嗎？
A: I think so, but you can choose which ones you want to participate in.
我想是的。不過妳可以選擇自己想參加的。
K: That's good. And then the CEO will give us his annual pep talk before dinner?
太好了。然後執行長會在晚餐前向大家發表年度激勵演說嗎？
A: Yes. I'm interested in how he's going to spin the recent layoffs into something to be cheerful about!
是的。我很好奇他要如何將最近的裁員風波說得令人開心。
