商务英语：如何兼顾工作和家庭
The question
I am one of three directors at a small consultancy. I work long hours and travel extensively. I love my job - it is interesting and well paid - but miss spending time with my two young sons. I have decided to take six weeks' non-paid leave in the summer but don't know how to convince my fellow directors that my enthusiasm and determination have not diminished. Both of them are very career-minded and are focused on becoming millionaires as soon as possible.
问题我是一家小型咨询公司的三个董事之一。我要工作很长时间、到处出差。我喜欢我的工作(既有趣、挣的又多)，但是不能花时间跟两个年幼的儿子在一起。我已经决定给自己放一个为期六周的无薪暑假，却不知道该如何让另外两位董事相信我的热情和决心没有丝毫衰减。他们两位都是非常顾工作的人，一心只想尽快成为富豪。
