Larry和李华正在商量如何帮助他们的朋友Jane，因为Jane在工作上碰到了困难。今天李华会学到两个常用语：a can of worms（做了某件事会造成更多问题）和cut one's losses（及时从对自己不利的局面里撤出来，以减少损失）。
只需要听写文中出现的【男生说的】英文部分，中文对话部分（包括里面个别的英语词组）不需要听写！！
Hints：
Jane
co-workers
PhD
今天开始流行美语开始改版~~~早晚8点各更新一次，两期是一篇完整的音频~~谢谢大家支持

Well, Jane decided to cut her losses and quit her job. She's going to start looking for a new job tomorrow.
To cut one's losses means to give up and withdraw from a losing situation.
Exactly. She didn't see any way to improve her relationship with her co-workers, so she decided to cut her losses and leave.
Sometimes, there's nothing you can do to improve a situation. All you can do is cut your losses and try to find a better situation.
What happened?
She gave up on her PhD?LL: Well, Jane decided to cut her losses and quit her job. She's going to start looking for a new job tomorrow.
LH: 真的？Jane决定要辞掉那个工作啦？Larry，什么是cut her losses?
LL: To cut one's losses means to give up and withdraw from a losing situation.
LH: Cut one's losses就是看到形势对自己不利就决定改变方向，这样可以减少损失。所以Jane决定宁可辞职，也不要再浪费时间去解决工作上的问题。是这个意思吗？
LL: Exactly. She didn't see any way to improve her relationship with her co-workers, so she decided to cut her losses and leave.
LH: 嗯，要是根本没有希望改善和她同事的关系，那还不如趁早离开，免得再继续受罪。
LL: Sometimes, there's nothing you can do to improve a situation. All you can do is cut your losses and try to find a better situation.
LH: 说的也是。人生有许多事情真的是你再怎么努力，也没办法改善的。像我一位朋友，她是研究生化专业的博士生，可是她和她的指导教授关系很差。
LL: What happened?
LH: 跟了那个教授三年后，决定不能再浪费时间了。所以她决定cut her losses，拿了个硕士学位就走人。博士学位也不要了。
LL: She gave up on her PhD?
LH: 她实在没别的选择，就只能放弃喽！ |
