嗨，安，你好吗？

Hello, Ann. How are you?

我挺好的，你呢？

I'm sensational. How are you?

我还好，就是不禁为办公室里一个新同事感到难过，你之前见过她吗？

I'm all right, but I just can't help but feel sorry for the new girl in our office. Have you had a chance to meet her?

我见过她呀，她叫桑迪，人挺好的，你为啥替她难过？

Yes, I have met her. Her name is Sandy and she seems very nice . Why did you feel sorry for her?

我觉得因为她需要使用轮椅，所以不能很好地融入办公环境。

I feel sorry for her because I don't think she is going to fit in well in the office because she is in a wheelchair.

这是歧视，为什么你觉得她不能融入我们的办公环境，就因为她使用轮椅吗？我们都享有平等的就业权利呀！

That’s very discriminating. Why do you think she won't fit into our office environment just because she is in a wheelchair? We all deserve employment equality.

拜托，安！你难道没看到吗？她没法在办公室走动，只会挡住所有人的路，她在办公室就是给我们制造麻烦的。

Have you not seen her? Hello Ann she can barely move around the office? She just gets in everybody's way. She will create issues for us in the office.

这样说可不好，办公室里也有很多伙伴是愿意接纳桑迪和她的轮椅的。

That is not a very nice thing to say. There are plenty of people in the office who are willing to accommodate Sandy and her wheelchair.

我想说的正是这点，她没法在办公隔间的狭窄过道行走，这样会阻碍大家的。

That's my point. She cannot move around the narrow aisles around the cubicles. She slows everyone down.

这是办公室管理的问题而不是她的问题，或许我们该找领导沟通下，让他们做出一些调整。这几个月来我们一直在讨论改造办公室的事，这正是一个让我们的办公环境变得对残障人士更友好的时机。

Well, that is a problem with office management, not her problem. Perhaps we should speak with someone and they can make some changes. We've been talking about rearranging the office for months, and perhaps now is the time to make the office friendlier towards people with disabilities.

这样做有什么好处呢？

What would the advantage of that be?

是这样的，首先，所有的员工都会更快乐，因为他们知道，这里每个人都会被平等对待。其次，我们包容的工作环境能为我们企业树立一个好的社会形象。最后，也是最重要的一点，桑迪会觉得在这工作很开心，因为她知道自己获得了认可。

Well. First, our employees will be happier because they will know that everyone is being treated equally. Secondly, our business will look good to the community because we are an inclusive environment. And lastly, and more importantly, Sandy will feel good working here because she knows she is being recognized.

我没明白你的意思，我还有很多工作要做，我们回头再聊！

I don't see your points clearly. I have a lot of work to get done. I'll talk to you later.

几天以后

A few days later

安，你是对的，桑迪人真的很好！

Ann You were right. Sandy is a very nice person.

你看吧，残障人士也能做出积极贡献！

You see? Even people with disabilities can make a positive contribution.

是的，我现在意识到了，我曾经和她聊过，了解怎样能让她的办公室生活更自在。但其实我们并不需要做太多调整，只需要把过道弄宽，配置可调节高度的桌子即可。我准备和经理开会，讨论办公室改造的问题。

Yes, I see now. I spoke to her to see what we can do to make her life easier in the office. I was surprised that we didn't need a lot done to the office. Her only request for that we make the aisle a bit wider and the table height adjustable. I'm having a meeting with the manager to discuss the modifications.

很高兴你能认同我的观点，至少，我们可以为她提供合理便利。

I'm glad I was able to persuade you to see my point. At least we were able to find a reasonable accommodation for her.

合理便利是什么？

Reasonable accommodation?

就是雇主尝试根据残障员工的需求调整工作条件。

It is an attempt by employers to adjust the working conditions of employees with disabilities to their preferences.

你说话文绉绉的，跟教科书一样！

Well, you're very by the book.

我只是对人权方面的知识很感兴趣。如果雇主一味地认为所有人都能适应同一个工作环境，这是不合理的，因为人与人之间存在差异，有不同的需求，这些差异构成了独一无二的我们。

I am just enthusiastic about human rights. It is not good for employers to assume that everyone will fit into the same work environment. We are all different and have different needs. That is what makes us who we are.

那么，你希望老板为桑迪做出怎样的改变？

So how do you expect our employers to make these changes for Sandy?

最理想的做法是，召开领导层会议，根据法律规定，公司有义务为她提供安全的工作环境以及平等的就业机会，不能因为她使用轮椅就降低薪水。

Ideally, they will get together and have a meeting. By law, they have to make the working environment safe for her and give her equal opportunity for employment. They can't give her a lower paying job just because she is in a wheelchair.

我明白了，那会议结束后，他们应该怎么做？

I see. So after this meeting, what will they do?

如果制定好了计划，就努力实施，当然这取决于计划是否合理，他们是否认同改造的价值以及有多少可用资金。

If they have a plan, they will work towards implementing it. This depends on how well they've planned out the changes and how much funds that they have available .

他们已经计划翻新办公室了，所以我觉得没什么问题。

Since they were already planning on renovating the office, I don't see that there’s a problem.

希望你的判断是对的!

I hope you are right.

几个星期后

Several weeks later

你喜欢新的办公室吗?

Kelly, don't you love the new office?

当然喜欢，我的工位就在窗边，附近还有一株植物呢。

I sure do. I have a cubicle by the window. And there is a plant near me.

我也想有绿植!

I wish I had a plant.

我给你买一个。不管怎么说，你想听个好消息吗？

I will buy you one. Anyways, are you looking forward to the good news I was going to tell you？

你刚说的更换办公地点不就是好事吗？

You mean your new location was not the good news?

哦，不，是关于桑迪的，管理层还把她那张可调节的新办公桌列入了预算。他们规划了办公室的布局，这样她就可以更方便地走动了。此外，新的置物柜高度调低了，这也很棒。我想每个人都很喜欢。

No. It's Sandy. Yes, they were able to put her new adjustable desk into the budget as well. They planned the layout of the office, so she can get around easier. Also, the new lower cabinets are nice. I think everyone appreciates them.

我也觉得大家会喜欢，我还注意到了桑迪的一些变化。

I am sure they do. I have also noticed something about Sandy.

什么变化呢？

Oh, what is that?

她和同事们相处得很融洽，大家都喜欢她。

She is fitting in quite well. And I see that everyone likes her.

我也注意到了。

I have noticed that too.

瞧，你之前误解她了！

Do you see, Kelly? You were wrong about her.

嗯，我明白了，不能因为她使用轮椅，就认为她比别人技高一筹或技不如人。我之前觉得她无法适应职场生活，这是不对的。

Yes, I see that just because she is in a wheelchair, it does not mean that she is better or worse than the rest of us. I was wrong to think she would not fit in.

我很开心你能改变看法！

I am glad that you have changed your mind.

我也是，谢谢你向我展示了一个比歧视更好的解决方案。

I am too. Thank you for showing me a better solution than discrimination.

思维打开了就完全不一样了。桑迪和我要出去吃午饭，你要一起去吗？

You’ll opened up right away. Sandy and I are heading out to lunch. Would you like to come with us?

好呀！我想去。

Sure. I would love to.

那走吧，她等着我们呢！

Come on then she is waiting for us.
