老友记 第二季 14 The One with the Prom Video

    本集简介：

    Joey, now earning money, gives Chandler an expensive (and gaudy) gold bracelet 1. Joey is hurt when he finds out Chandler doesn't like it. Monica has a job interview with a restaurant manager who has a salad fetish. Rachel's starting to date again, which prompts Ross to interfere 2... until she makes it clear that they are never going to get together.

    Phoebe shares her "lobster 3" theory. Jack 4 and Judy Geller come by to drop off some of Monica's things; they're turning her room into a gym. Monica tells them about losing her job, but she just can't get the courage to ask them for money. Amongst Monica's items from home is a video of herself and Rachel preparing for their Senior Prom. Rachel's pre-surgery nose, Monica's large stature 5, and Ross' "Mr. Kotter" look are featured.

    In the video, Rachel's date doesn't show up and she's distraught about having to miss her own Prom. Ross prepares to take her, but just before this is revealed, Rachel's date shows up. Rachel, watching the video for the first time, is so moved by Ross' compassion 6 for her that she forgives him for "the list" and kisses him passionately 8. Monica discovers some unexpected footage of her parents at the end of the video tape.

    乔伊经济状况好转，还清了借钱德的债，还送钱德一只昂贵（但俗气）的金手镯。

    但钱德不喜欢戴，乔伊发现以后感觉很受伤。

    莫妮卡到餐厅面试新工作，餐厅经理很喜欢吃又脏又腐烂的沙拉（eh....）。

    瑞秋又在约会男人，罗斯不得不干预……瑞秋气咻咻的说，我们之间没戏，永远没可能了！

    菲比认为瑞秋是罗斯的“龙虾”，注定要白头偕老。

    莫妮卡的父母来访，把她的旧东西带来，因为已经将她的房间变成了健身房。

    莫妮卡告诉他们她新近失业，但她没有勇气开口借钱。

    在莫妮卡的旧物里有一卷录影带，里面录着她和瑞秋迎接高中舞会的情景。

    瑞秋手术前不输给成龙的大鼻子，莫妮卡减肥前的伟岸身躯，以及罗斯的小学究模样都历历在目。

    在录影带里，瑞秋约会的男生没有出现，她怕错过高中舞会而发了狂。

    罗斯本打算约会他，但就在他开口之前，约瑞秋的男生又到了。

    瑞秋这还是头一次看到这卷录影带，为罗斯对她的深情而感动不已，决定化干戈为玉帛，并好好亲了他一顿。

    在录影带的最后部分，莫妮卡意外发现了一些她父母的镜头。

    2-14-1Monica的面试故事梗概Monica的职业是厨师(chet), 有一阵子她失业了，因而要到新的餐厅面试，面试通常是很正式的，但是令人万万没有想到的是Monica的面试官(interviewer)在简单的问了几个问题后，就让她做个沙拉(Salad)，Monica正欲大显身手的时候，却发现面试官问了一连串让人觉得不可思议的问题， Monica被吓得“落荒而逃”。

    [Scene: A kitchen somewhere. Monica is interviewing for a job]

    INTERVIEWER: Well, this all looks good.

    MONICA: Great.

    INTERVIEWER: And if I want to call for a reference on your last job?

    MONICA: Oh, that's there on the bottom, see the manager, Chandler Bing.

    INTERVIEWER: Alright, lets see if you're as good in person as you are on paper. Make me a salad.

    MONICA: A salad? Really I, I could do something a little more complicated if you like.

    INTERVIEWER: No, just a salad will be fine.

    MONICA: You got it.

    INTERVIEWER: Now, I want you to tell me what you're doing while you're doing it.

    MONICA: Alright, well I'm tearing the lettuce 9.

    INTERVIEWER: Uh-huh. Is it dirty?

    MONICA: Oh-oh, no no don't worry, I'm gonna wash it.

    INTERVIEWER: Don't, I like it dirty.

    MONICA: That's your call.

    讲解Monica在求职简历(resume)中显然是撒了谎，不过这样带来了很好的幽默效果，因为当面试官问及简历的证明人(reference)时，她说是Chandler。简历还可以用CV来表示，即Curriculum Vitae。但事实上resame与CV无论从篇幅的长短、简历的内容还是从简历的目的来看都是有一定区别的。请大家参考下面这段英文。The primary differences between resume and CV are the length．the content and the purpose．A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills，experi。ence and education．A goal of resume writing is to be brief and concise 10 since，at best，the resume reader will spend a minute or so reviewing your qualifications(资格，条件)．A Curriculum Vitae．commonly referred to as CV，is a longer(two or more pages)，more detailed 11 synopsis(概要)。也就是CV的篇幅要长一些，大概要两页或更多，它是一种较为详细的履历。It includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience，publications，presentations，awards，honors，affiliations and other details(CV包括求职者在教育和学术背景方面的大概情况，同时包括教学及科研经历、作品发表、演讲次数、奖励、荣誉、何协会成员以及其他细节)。aff liations相当于memberships。

    Curriculum Vitae(CV)通常是在应聘学术性、国际性或科研等机构的职位时常用的一种履历。在撰Curriculum Vitae的时候，要尽量作到五个C：

    ·Clear-well-organized and logical·Concise-relevant and necessary·Complete-includes everything you need·Consistent-don't mix styles or fonts·Current-up-to-date下面这17点中的大部分可能是您的CV中必须具备的：

    1．Heading Name：address(es)，and phone number(s)．including area code(s)2．Education：Listing of academic degrees beginning with the degtee in progress or most recentlv earned．(从正在攻读的学位或最近取得的学位开始列明。)Include：name of institution，city and state，degree type(B．A．，B．S．，M．A．，ete．)and area of concentration，month and year degree was(will be) reeeived．Note：You may wish to inelude the title(using the format 12 appropriate to your particular academic field)of your thesis．If you are an undergraduate and your GPA is 3．5 or higher，it is appropriate to include it．学位大概有B．A．(文学学士)，B．S．(理学学士)，M．A．(文学硕士)等。其他如M．S．(理学硕士)，PhD(哲学博士)，L．L．B(法学学士)，J．M．(法律硕士)，J．D．(法律博士)，L．L．M．(法学硕士)，J．S．D．or S．J．D(法学博士)，M．B．A(工商管理硕士)等等。)title of your thesis是指“毕业论文题目”；GPA是Grade Point Average的缩略语，即“平均分”。

    3．Certifications：List all relevant certifications and the year received．4．Honors and Awards：Receipt of competitive scholarships，fellowships，and assistantships；names of scholastic 13 honors；teaching or research awards．5．Relevant，Experienee：

    Listing of positions (part-time，full-time，volunteer，temporary and permanent)related to the type of work sought．Include：department，firm，agency，or orgamzation；complete name；city and state；job／position title；dares；also include a brief description of youractivities／duties，using strong action verbs．List these in reverse chronological 14 order．List these in reverse chronological order是指：“将上述信息用倒叙的方式列明”，即从最近，如2006年1月写起。

    6．Other Experience：Groupings of other experiences(including volunteerwork and／or internships)can enhanee your CV．Your experience can also be broken into other categories such as：Teaching，Counseling，Administration，Volunteer，Community，Internship，etc．Entries within each section should be in reverse chronological order．internships指“实习”；entries指“各条”；chronological order指“按照年代顺序”。

    7．Grants Received：Include name of grant；name of granting agency；date received：title or purpose of research project，etc．Grants Received指“所得资助”。

    8．Professional Associations：Memberships in national，regional，state，anc local professional organizations should be listed．Also list significant appointments to positions or committees in these associations．Student memberships in professional associations are appropriate．9．Publications：Give bibliographic 15 citations 16(using the format appropriate to your Darticular academic discipline) for articles，pamphlets， chapters in books,research reports，or any other publications that you have authored or co-authored．In fine arts areas，this can include descriptions of recitals 17 and art exhibits．Give bibliographic citations是指注明所发表作品的出处。

    10．Presentations：Give titles of professional presentattions(using the format appropriate to your particular academic discipline)；name of conference or event；dates and location；if appropriate in your discipline，also include a brief description．Presentations should be listed in reverse chronological order．11．Recent／Current Research：Description of research projects recently conducted or in progress．Include the type of research and a brief description of the purpose．research projects recently conducted or in progress是指“最近完成的或正在芷行的科研项目”。

    12．Institutional Service：List institutional committees you have served on，including offices held，student groups you have supervised，or special academic projects you have assisted with．Institutional Service指“在何机构供职”。

    17．Qualifications or Skills：A summary of particular or relevant strengths or skills which you want to highlight．Typically，this is not included as a separate section，but addressed in other sections．Occasionally，however，it may be appropriate to list special computing 18 or language skills．除简历外，求职还要求职信(cover letter)，求职信在应聘中同样很重要。大概是由于求职信要放到CV之前的缘故，所以在英文中，求职信(cover letter)事实上就是“封面信”的意思。

    Although a Resume or CV is a complete record of your accomplishments，a cover letter should accompany your vitae to personalize your experience．Cover letters for positions that request a CV may exceed the one-page rule，but clarity and conciseness 19 are important．The goal of the cover letter is to highlight and elaborate on pertinent 20 themes using your own writing style．Remember that the quality of your writing will be examined．这段英文中clarity and conciseness是说要“简明扼要”。此外，求职信要通过您自己的写作风格来突出重点，并阐明相关主题。

    既然求职信的写作等细节也是用人单位主考官考虑的因素，那么，您不妨将您的CV以及Cover Letter投出去之前，请您身边的朋友们先读两遍，仔细校对(proof reading and editing)一番。然后再将它们打印出来。

    Your CV and cover letter should be word-processed on white resume paper．The envelope should always be a standard，business-sized of matching color．Unless your writing is extremely neat and easy to read，you should type your envelopes，by full name and title，specifically to the person you identified in your cover 1etter．
