Sam和Lucinda在公司谈恋爱，被老板Joe找来谈话。Sam和Lucinda保证，两人的恋爱关系不会影响工作。让我们听听老板Joe是怎么说的。

J: I understand your position completely. And let me say: our company doesn't have a blanket ban on interoffice relationships. We are just concerned about possible ramifications. When you first fall in love, of course you don't think about what would happen if you broke up, but let's face it...break-ups are very common. Have you considered what it would be like if the relationship didn't work out?

Joe说，公司并不一律禁止内部的恋爱关系，a blanket ban一概而论，全部禁止。但他 同时提醒他们，万一两人吹了，该怎么办。Joe说，Break-ups are very common. Break-up意思就是恋爱关系的中断。

L: That's true. It would be very awkward to work with an ex-boyfriend every day.

S: But there must be some way we can continue dating and working together. We are adults after all.

J: Yes, I think there are ways you can continue a relationship while working together. Relationship experts say the first rule when co-workers decide to date each other is to plan an 'exit strategy.'

Lucinda承认，万一两人吹了，会十分尴尬，但是Sam表示，总该有个让恋爱工作两不误的好办法，毕竟大家都是成年人。Joe告诉他们，专家说了，跟同事谈恋爱，首先应该想好 'exit strategy'. 退出战略。
