英文短篇故事（纽约）113 It's Nice to Meet You—Not!

（单词翻译）

 　　He was a new employee¹. He introduced himself to one of his new coworkers. She was looking at her computer screen. "Hello, my name is Don," he said. She looked at him. Her face was a blank².

"Did I say Hello wrong?" he asked his supervisor³ later. He was half-joking. "No," Bill said. "Sandra's a little paranoid. She thinks every new employee might be after her job. She treats them like the enemy." Well, that's certainly how I'll treat her, Don thought.
