A：Hi, Tony. Haven’t seen you for a long time. How have you been?

你好，托尼。好長時間沒看見你了，你怎么樣?

B：OK, I’ve been looking for a job for days,and I haven’t found one yet. It's so hard finding work these days. Have you had any luck?

還好，我已經(jīng)找了好幾天工作了，但是還沒找到。這些日子太難找到工作。你的運氣怎么樣?

A：Yes, I've got a job, a waiter's job in a restaurant.

還行。我有一份工作，是在一家餐館做服務生。

B：Are you well paid?

待遇好嗎?

A：Well, $10 per hour, but I can keep the tips. That comes to roughly $80 every evening

嗯,每小時10美元，但我能把小費留下。 每晚大概能有80美元。

B：Not bad.

不錯呀。

A：Actually, there's still another opening. If you are interested, you’ll surely get it.

其實,還有一個空缺。如果你感興趣,我肯定你能得到這份工作。

B：That’s great! I’ll go there right now and speak with the boss.

那太好了!我現(xiàn)在就去跟老板談談。

A：There’s no rush. You can see him tomorrow. I’ve told him about you. He promised to give you the job.

不必匆忙。明天你能見到他。我已經(jīng)跟他提起過你。他答應給你這份工作。

B：That was nice of you, Susan. Thanks a lot.

你太好了,蘇珊。多謝了。

A：Think nothing of it, Tony. I’m sure you’d do the same for me.

這沒什么，托尼。我肯定你會為我做同樣的事。

B：Could you tell me a bit more about the work there? I mean, those dos and don'ts. I am a green hand, you know.

你能跟我再講講那兒的工作嗎?我的意思是，那些注意事項，你知道，我是個新手。

A：First of all, you must be punctual. You should be there before 6 p. m. so that you will have half an hour for preparation changing clothes and things like that. Then，remember you should smile. Smile to your customers all the time. Never pull a long face even If you feel awful that day. Anything else? Oh, yes. Never argue with your boss. Learn to say 'Yes， sir. '

首先,你必須準時。你應該在下午6點之前到達那里，這樣你有半個小時的準備時間——換衣服等類似的事。其次, 記住你應該微笑。時常對你的顧客微笑。即使當天你感覺不好也不要拉長著臉。還有什么呢?噢，對了，不要與你的老板爭論。學會說“是的，先生”。

B：Be a yes-man, you mean?

你的意思是說做一個唯唯諾諾的人?

A：You may put it that way if you like. Don’t worry. You’ll have no problem.

如果你愿意你可以這么說。別擔心，你不會有問題的。

B：I hope not.

我希望不會的。
