D: That's right! And I landed a job interview with them! I go in to meet the boss next Tuesday!

P: Wow, man! I'm so happy for you! Good for you!

D: Yeah...I'll need to review some of their older issues and brush up on the magazine's history. I need to know that company inside and out!

P: That's right. Bosses like the guy who does his homework.

如何为面试做准备?David表示,他准备回去,brush up on the magazine's history. 重温一下这份杂志的历史,brush up on something的意思是温故知新。David还说,I need to know that company inside and out. 意思是把这家杂志从里到外了解个底儿透。Peter表示赞成,因为bosses like the guy who does his homework. 老板都喜欢认真的人。Do one's homework做好功课,就是事先做好准备工作的意思。

P: (Chuckle) Sure...I'll play the boss. But you know...you're going to have to fight to stay calm. It doesn't look good if you go into the interview too hyper. You gotta look calm and in control.
