During a stop at the embassy several years ago, I watched her harass visitor after visitor and thought to myself, "One billion people to choose from and they couldn't hire anyone friendlier. This woman could single-handedly ruin India's tourist industry. If the Indian government were smarter, they'd appoint her to a new position: Director of Prisons. The crime rate would drop so fast, many politicians would lose money."

几年前，有一次我在印度驻美大使馆逗留，亲眼目睹她“炮轰”一个又一个来客。于是我心里想：“印度有十亿人，他们就不能雇一个友善一点的人吗？这个女人单凭一己之力就能给印度的旅游业带来灭顶之灾。如果印度政府明智一点的话，他们应该给她安排另一个职位：监狱主管。这样一来，印度社会的犯罪率肯定会大幅度下降，许多政客的收入也会锐减。”

In contrast, Connie is so pleasant that some people are willing to call the newspaper every day just to greet her and say, "When's my wedding picture going to appear in the paper? Hopefully before the divorce."

相反，康妮非常友善，以至于有人每天打电话到报社，就是为了听到她的声音： “我的结婚照什么时候才会刊登出来呢？希望在离婚之前吧。”

Whatever they say, Connie remains friendly and polite. She's an excellent receptionist and a true success. Yes, a success.
