職場英語日記 第19期:愚人節

I had the strangerest email in my inbox thus morning. I read it 3 times because it didn't make sense at first. It because it didn't make sense at first. It was a notice from my boss saying that my request to be transferred to our Paris office had been approved to our Paris office had been approved and I needed to clear up All my projects by the end of the day.

我今天早上在收件箱裏收到一封莫名其妙的怪信，一開始看不懂，就連看了三次。是一封老闆寄的通知信，説我要求調職到巴黎辦事處的申請已經批准了，今天下班前要把手土所有的項目整理好交接下去。

It said I would be leaving tomorrow morning. All the details were there. It had my new job description, my new address, the flight number and even my new salary, which was more than TWICE what I am making now!

明天一早出發。信上也把新工作、新地址、航班號等相關細節都交代得很清楚，甚至還有調薪，居然是現在的兩倍多!

I couldn't believe it ecause I never even applied for a transfer. One time I joked about how great it would be to speng a year in our Paris office, but I never considered it seriously.

一切簡直難以置信，因為我從沒申請過調職。我是有一次開玩笑説，如果能在巴黎辦事處待個l年不知道有.多好，可是我從來沒當真過。

After about 5 minutes I realized that it was an April Fool's joke on me. The whole office was watching me as I read the email. I'm not woving to Paris. I guess they play a trick on the new employee every April first.

大概過了5分鐘，我才明白這是愚人節的玩笑。我在看電子郵件時，全辦公室的人都盯着我瞧。原來我不是真的要調到巴黎。我想每年的愚人節，同事都會戲弄一下新進員工吧。

Too bad. A year in Paris would have been fabulous!

好可惜。如果真能在巴黎待上1年不知有多好!
