I even have some friends who have, with the best intentions, tried to convince me not to say anything for a couple of years, to be more polite, and to not offend people. They say it's the only way I'll have an opportunity to get a relatively good position.
有朋友甚至好意勸我，最好兩年內不要「講話」，客氣一點，不要得罪人，這樣才有機會搶佔到比較有利的工作位子。
