爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

The talk during lunch hour rarely, if ever, turned toward business, except as said before, when it dealt with underpaid services. In the spring and summer it was invariably of baseball, and scores of young men knew the batting averages of the different players and the standing of the clubs with far greater accuracy than they knew the standing or the discounts of the customers of their employers. In the winter the talk was all of dancing, boxing, or plays.

白话

午餐时间的谈话很少涉及业务,除非像之前说的,谈到薪水太低。春天和夏天,话题总是棒球,许多年轻人对各个球员的击球率和俱乐部排名了如指掌,远比对雇主的客户状况或折扣清楚。冬天则全在聊跳舞、拳击或戏剧。

上下文

你的午休谈话更多围绕什么?是否反映了你的兴趣重心?
