笑话原文】



My Dream Job



I found a dream job—testing computer games. My first day at work I was listing testing plans in an Excel program when my manager walked by. He looked at my screen for a moment, then said sternly, “I’d better not catch you using Excel on company time when you know you should be playing games.”



中文译文】

我找到了我梦寐以求的工作——测试电脑游戏。上班第一天,我正在用Excel电子表软件做测试计划,我的上司从旁边走过。他对着我的屏幕看了一阵,然后严厉地说:“最好不要让我抓到你在上班时间用电子表。你知道,你上班时间应该玩游戏。”
