中2018年6月英语六级翻译考试试题:界限分明
请将下面这段话翻译成英文:
界限分明
你不需要和每个人都成为朋友。这就意味着:你没必要取悦每一个人。假如有人想占用你的时间,直接告诉ta:“我知道这事儿对您来说很重要,但是现在我还有别的本职的事儿要做。” 并不是教你变得冷漠无情,我的意思是:每当话题扯远了、或是即将触碰到你底线的这种时候,灵活地再把它扯回来就行。
参考译文
Be clear about boundaries。
You don’t have to be friends with everyone. Which means you don’t have to do favors for everyone who asks. If someone’s encroaching on your time, simply tell them, “I’m sure this is important to you but it simply isn’t a priority for me right now. I really need to work on x and not y。” Again, there’s no need to be mean, just redirect the conversations whenever conversation drifts into areas that aren’t relevant and where you know you’ll be annoyed。
