【迷你小对话】

B: I know he is usually on the level. What did he do?
A: The boss was bawling out Miss Jones for some figure-juggling errors that cost the company a bunch. He showed he plays with a clean deck and admitted it was his mistake. The boss was so pleased and he gave him a raise.
B: He is a real aboveboard guy!
A: 他是个正直、坦诚的小伙子,大家都喜欢他。
B: 我也知道他一向都很诚实。他怎么了?
A: 老板正冲Jones小姐发火,怪她篡改了账目,让公司亏了一大笔。这时他老老实实地站出来,承认是他的错。老板很欣赏,还给他涨了工资。
