职场美语

I am such a perfectionist.I just have to do everything myself.
我真是个完美主义者，总信不过别人做的工作。
Well.That's called being a leader.You can dump a fair amount on people under you.
唉，那才叫当领导嘛，你可以给下属分配一些工作。

精讲部分
You can delegate responsiblities to your subordinates.
You can dump a fair amount on people under you.
第一句中delegate(指派)，responsibilities(责任)，subordinate(下属)等词都是职场常用的词汇，这种说法比较正式。第二句则是更加生活化的表达。dump的本意就是“倾倒”，people under you即“下属”。
