RESIGNING

George: I’ve run out of steam. To be honest, I want to be in a different environment. Manager: Is that so?

George: Yes, I don’t want to be stuck in a rut. I want to move on.

Manager: Have you decided?

George: Yes, I want to get a better job.

Manager: Could you tell me why you want to quit?

George: I’m quitting because of the lousy salary and all the difficulties I have in getting along with my colleagues.

Manager: Oh, that sounds terrible. Would you be happier with higher pay here? I’m sure something can be worked out.

George: I’m afraid not. I’ve promised my girlfriend. We’re going to travel south to find jobs that offer higher pay.

Manager: OK. I’d like to say that I’ve really enjoyed working with you. However, I think you should work harder at your new job and then you can ask for higher pay. 1). Run out of steam= run out of gas (对所做的事情）不再有精力和兴趣
