他是一个很难相处的家伙，而且我觉得车间里存在些问题。#
[00:39.02]I’ve got a feeling that the trade union representative is behind this.#

哦，好的。我会见见他。我必须要说，我同意你认为工人之间不太对劲这一点。#
[01:04.36]I’ve had the idea for some time that Jack Green’s been busy stirring things up in connection with the latest wage claim.#
我已经注意杰克·格林有一段时间了，他一直在搅动最近要求涨工资的事情。#
