英語播客初級(jí)版 第191期(外教講解):找工作
A: Woo hoo! This just might be the start of the rest of my life!
B: What happened?
A: I’m in the market for a job! I went on a website with hundreds of job listings in the area and browsed through them until I got the names of a few employers I would like to work for. I have the resume I wrote for English class last month and a cover letter will be a piece of cake to write. I’ve even done my research and found the names of the managers so I can address the letters personally. And you know I can be charming in interviews. Goodbye my penniless days! Hello salary and a career!
B: Ben, we’re fifteen. What kind of job are you looking for?
A: Oh, just for a position as a gas station attendant. You know, starting at a simple lowly job, just like all the greats before they made it big in the world.
B: Uh-huh.
A: But I’m just in it for the money, right? How else am I going to be able to afford to keep taking Angela to the movies? Besides, I love the smell of gasoline, don’t you?

A: 哇塞，這也許就是我余下生命的開始。
B: 怎么了?
A: 我想工作了。我找到一個(gè)有數(shù)百份工作信息的網(wǎng)站，我瀏覽其中的信息，并找到了一些我想為之工作的雇主的名字。我有上個(gè)月在英語課上寫的簡歷，附信對(duì)我來說是小菜一碟。我已經(jīng)找我找完信息，并找到了經(jīng)理的名字，那樣我就能私下將求職信發(fā)給他們。你知道，我在面試中很有魅力，再見了，我的窮日子。薪水和事業(yè)，你們好。
