LL: 唉，还可以吧。不过我觉得同事们都很强势，弄得我不敢说话。这种内向害羞，真是我的短板! Jessica: 短板？ LL: 短板就是我的弱点，缺点。哎？这用美语该怎么说呢？ Jessica: I see. It is your weak point, or shortcoming. LL: 哦，短板在美语中就是 weak point, 或者 shortcoming. I think being shy is my weakest point. I really should be more aggressive. Jessica: Don't worry. Sometimes it takes me time to open up to people too. You should stick to your strengths by showing your co-workers what you're good at. LL: 你是说，让我多向同事展示自己拿手的方面，stick to my strengths, 就是扬长避短，对么？ Jessica: 没错! LL: 说是这么说，可是现在，我们组我资历最浅，好像觉得插不上嘴，好象局外人。 Jessica: As I said, you just need some time to warm up. It's natural to find it a bit challenging to fit in at the beginning, but you'll be fine very soon! Talk to your co-workers! Ask them stupid questions! They won't see you as a poor fit. LL: a poor fit? 这又是什么意思啊？ Jessica: You find people or things a poor fit if they don't suit you, or don't get along with you. For example, if someone is a poor fit in a team, he is not working well with other team members. LL: 明白了，a poor fit 就是不合适，如果一个团队里有个人不合群，他就是 a poor fit for the team. Jessica: That's right. Lulu, I'm sure you're a good fit for the team. Now let's see what you've learned today! LL: 今天我们学了，短板是 weak point, 或者 shortcoming; 扬长避短是 stick to your strengths； 不合适，不合群是 a poor fit.
