下面是一封读者的来信,假若你是编辑John,你打算怎样写一封回信来帮她解决问题
Dear John,
I've got a problem and as I don't know what to do, I thought I'd write to you and ask for your advice.
I've been working at a meat factory for about two months now. It's a part-time job, so I only work in the evenings. I've recently noticed that one of my workmates is stealing, From time to time, I notice that he puts a piece of meat down his trousers just before he leaves the factory. Now the manager has found that things are missing. He says that all this happened after I started work.
What should I do? Maybe I should have told that workmate I knew what he was doing. Or possibly I should have gone to the manager and told him who was stealing meat.
I think I'm in a difficult position. Please tell me how I can solve this problem. I'd like to hear your advice.
Best wishes.
Mary

解析:
(One possible version) Dear Mary, Thanks for your letter. I agree that it is a difficult situation. I'm afraid it is quite common that people steal things from their workplace. Besides, this man is a clever thief. He waited until someone new joined the company and then began to steal. I think there is a possible problem if you tell the manager about the thief. The other people in the workforce may not trust you in future. They will think that you are the eyes and ears of the manager. There is no need to say anything to the other worker. It's his problem, not yours. Try not to worry. After all, you have nothing to lose if you are honest and a good worker. But I advise you to check your bag every evening before going home. It is quite possible that the thief might put some meat in your bag, hoping you will be caught and called a thief. Best regards. John |
