DIALOGUE

在公司食堂

A：听说老王要当经理了。

B：我也听说了。真不容易！他在咱们公司干了快十年了。终于要当经理了。

A：是。老王的性格有点像老黄牛，老老实实，勤勤恳恳，光干活不说话。

A：怪不得这么久才升职。你看小李，才进公司一年多就当上经理了。

B：小李是典型的千里马，学历高，能力强。不是一般人能比的。

A：的确是。

TRANSLATION

In the dining hall of the company

A: I heard that Wang would be a manager.
B: I heard that, too. It's not easy! He has been working in our company for almost ten years. Finally, he is going to be a manager.
A: Yes. Wang is a bit like an ox, honest and well-behaved, diligent, and conscientious, works a lot, but says nothing.
A: No wonder it took so long for him to get a promotion. Look at Li. He just became a manager when he's joined the company for more than a year.
B: Li is a typical talent with strong academic background and capability. We couldn't compare ordinary people with him.
A: Exactly.
