When hearing of the news that a new boss was coming, my colleague began to make silly suggestions, saying that we should have a welcoming party for the new boss. It seemed that he was trying to curry favor with the new boss.

所以，遇到任何一个人都比老Q正派，比小咪热情，比小F殷勤，最好是即便劈头问候其母亲，也不生气不回嘴更不哭，最好像家里哄孩子用的iPad，

suǒyǐ ，yùdào rènhé yī ge rén dōu bǐ lǎo Q zhèngpài ，bǐ xiǎomī rèqíng ，bǐ xiǎo F yīnqín ，zuìhǎo shì jíbiàn pītóu wènhòu qí mǔqīn ，yě bù shēngqì bù huízuǐ gèng bù kū ，zuì hǎoxiàng jiālǐ hǒng háizi yòng de iPad ，

so whoever you meet will be more decent than Old Q, more enthusiastic than Xiaomi, and more hospitable than Small F. Even when you insult the desk lady's mother, she is not angry, she doesn't talk back, she doesn't cry, it's like using an iPad at home to coax children.

宋代文学家苏轼的《念奴娇》一词为宋词豪放派的代表作之一，又名《赤壁怀古》。上阙因景生情，从江水滔滔流去联想到消逝在历史长河中的英雄人物，人说赤壁为三国时代古战场，当年周公瑾在此，以弱胜强，击退曹魏，确立三国鼎立之势。

Song Dynasty literati Su Shi's ci poem 'The Charm of the Courtesan Niannu' is representative of the bold and unconstrained ci faction, and is also called 'Recalling the Past on the Red Cliffs'. The first section uses the landscape to set the tone, from the gurgling flow of the river we think of the historical figures who have disappeared in the river of time. It is said that the red cliffs were the site of an ancient battle during the Three Kingdoms Period. At that time Zhou Yu triumphed from a position of weakness here, forcing the Cao Wei to retreat and ensuring the continuance of the triumvirate states.

那么巧，我刚好是个乐观派呢，其实悲观与乐观都是可以后天培养的呢。

nàme qiǎo ，wǒ gānghǎo shì ge lèguān pài ne ，qíshí bēiguān yǔ lèguān dōu shì kěyǐ hòutiān péiyǎng de ne 。

A coincidence, I happen to be an optimist. In fact, pessimism and optimism can be nurtured.

仔细想想，其实还是自己带眼镜比较卫生，而且我本身就戴眼镜，如果用派发的眼镜，还要在自己的眼镜上架着另一副眼镜，特别笨拙。

Think about it, in fact, it is more hygienic to bring your own glasses. And since I already wear glasses, if I place another pair of glasses on top of mine it becomes especially clumsy.

当然，也有乐观派说：“说不定哪一天，燕郊划到北京了呢？”

dāngrán ，yě yǒu lèguānpài shuō ：“shuōbudìng nǎ yī tiān ，yānjiāo huá dào Běijīng le ne ？”

Of course there are also optimists who think maybe Yanjiao will be zoned as Beijing one day?
