咖啡休息時間的Small Talk：實習生第一週的煩惱

Coffee Break Confessions: Interns' First Week Woes

Two interns from different departments meet at the office coffee machine during their first week at a large tech company.

場景：兩名來自不同部門的實習生在他們在一家大型科技公司實習的第一週在辦公室咖啡機旁相遇。

Intern A (struggling with the coffee machine): Ugh, why is making coffee so complicated?實習生A（努力操作咖啡機）：唉，為什麼泡咖啡這麼複雜？

Intern B: Here, let me help. You have to press these two buttons at the same time.實習生B：來，讓我幫忙。你需要同時按這兩個按鈕。

Intern A: Thanks! I'm Alex from Marketing, by the way.實習生A：謝謝！順便說一下，我是行銷部的Alex。

Intern B: I'm Jamie, IT department. How's your first week going?實習生B：我是Jamie，資訊科技部的。你第一週過得怎麼樣？

Alex: Honestly? I'm completely lost. Yesterday, I accidentally sent an unfinished draft to the entire marketing team.Alex：老實說？我完全迷失了。昨天，我不小心把一份未完成的草稿發給了整個行銷團隊。

Jamie: Ouch. If it makes you feel any better, I spent two hours trying to fix a printer before realizing it wasn't plugged in.Jamie：噢。如果這能讓你感覺好些的話，我花了兩個小時試圖修理一台印表機，然後才發現它根本沒插電。

Alex: (Laughs) Glad I'm not the only one struggling. How do you like your team so far?Alex：（笑）很高興不只我一個人在掙扎。到目前為止你覺得你的團隊如何？

Jamie: They're great, but I can't understand half of what they're saying. So many acronyms!Jamie：他們很棒，但我只聽懂他們說的一半。太多縮寫詞了！

Alex: Tell me about it. I'm keeping a list of words to Google later.Alex：可不是嗎。我正在記錄一份單字表，準備之後Google查一查。

Jamie: Smart. Hey, are you going to the company mixer on Friday?Jamie：聰明。嘿，你要去參加週五的公司聯誼活動嗎？

Alex: I don't know. Large groups of strangers aren't really my thing.Alex：我不知道。我不太喜歡大群陌生人。

Jamie: Same here, but I heard it's a good way to network. Want to go together? Safety in numbers, right?Jamie：我也是，但聽說這是個建立人脈的好方法。要不要一起去？人多力量大，對吧？

Alex: That'd be great, actually. Thanks!Alex：那太好了。謝謝！

Jamie: No problem. Oh, heads up - your coffee's overflowing.Jamie：不客氣。哦，小心 - 你的咖啡溢出來了。

Alex: Oh no! Not again. I guess I still have a lot to learn.Alex：哦不！又來了。看來我還有很多要學的。

Jamie: Don't we all? Come on, I'll show you the secret stash of paper towels.Jamie：我們不都是嗎？來吧，我帶你去找藏起來的紙巾。
