Beth: I heard the boss yelling at Mike for somereason earlier today. Do you know what it wasabout?

　　Sally: Steve says that Mike made a mistake and thentried to cover it, but the boss found out.

　　Beth: Why didn't he just own up and tell someone?

　　Sally: He was too scared that he would be fired, Isuppose.

　　Beth: But when you have made a mistake, it is important to tell someone so that it can befixed.

　　Sally: I bet that Mike wished you had told him that earlier.

　　Beth: He won't do that again - Mike is not a fool, and only fools make the same mistake twice.

　　Sally: As always you are the smart one with the good advice.

　　Beth: But remember, even the smartest person makes mistakes sometimes!

　　贝斯：今天早晨我听到老板为了什么原因在跟迈克发脾气。你知道怎么回事吗？

　　萨利：史蒂夫说迈克做错了事又试图掩盖它，被老板发现了。

　　贝斯：为什么他不坦白说出来？

　　萨利：我想他害怕被辞退。

　　贝斯：可是做错事的时候最重要的是说出来这样问题才能得到解决。

　　萨利：我确信迈克一定希望你早一些跟他说这些话。

　　贝斯：他不会再做错了，迈克不是傻瓜，只有傻瓜才会重复同样的错误。

　　萨利：你总是那么聪明，能提出一些好建议。

　　贝斯：但是要记住，就算最聪明的人也有犯错的时候。
