地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客609:展示技能

Elaine: Welcome to your first day as an intern in our company office. Let me show you around. This is the main office area with a cubicle for each employee. Are you pretty good with computers?

伊萊恩:歡迎你作為我們公司的實(shí)習(xí)生第一天來(lái)上班，我?guī)銋⒂^一下，這是主要的辦公地點(diǎn)，每一個(gè)人有一個(gè)小隔間，你很擅長(zhǎng)計(jì)算機(jī)嗎?

Tony: Actually, my computer knowledge is pretty basic. The only thing I'm adept at is videogames. I'm not up to snuff on actually doing work on one.

托尼：說(shuō)實(shí)話(huà)，我的計(jì)算機(jī)知識(shí)很基礎(chǔ)。我唯一擅長(zhǎng)的就是電子游戲，我還沒(méi)有達(dá)到可以真正工作的水平。

Elaine: Okay, well you should be proficient by the end of your internship. Over there is where we keep the photocopier and fax machine. Have you used them before?

伊萊恩:好吧，等你實(shí)習(xí)期結(jié)束你就會(huì)很熟練了。那邊是我們存放復(fù)印機(jī)和傳真機(jī)的地方，你以前用過(guò)這些嗎?

Tony: I'm an expert on the copier. I can use it with one hand tied behind my back. I'm particularly good at photocopying body parts.

托尼：復(fù)印機(jī)我擅長(zhǎng)，我可以只用一只手復(fù)印，我特別擅長(zhǎng)復(fù)印人體部位。

Elaine: Uh, great.

伊萊恩:額，很好。

Tony: But the fax...I've only used one once and I never quite mastered it.

托尼：但是傳真機(jī)我只用過(guò)一次，并不精通。

Elaine: I'm sure you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. And this is the break room. You have your standard refrigerator and vending machines.

伊萊恩:我相信你會(huì)很快進(jìn)入狀態(tài)的，這里是休息室，你可以用這里的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)冰箱，和自動(dòng)售貨機(jī)。

Tony: Hey, I'm really good with vending machines. That's one machine I know inside and out.

托尼：嘿，我很會(huì)用自動(dòng)售貨機(jī)的，這個(gè)機(jī)器的里里外外我都懂。

Elaine: How could I have guessed that the one thing you really excel at is working the vending machine?

伊萊恩:我就知道你最擅長(zhǎng)自動(dòng)售貨機(jī)，想知道我怎樣猜到的嗎?
