英语课
小念君:好久不见呀,S姐,最近在忙什么呀?
J:Hey, S, long time no see, what's up?
S小姐:春节以后,我一直在考虑一件事,现在我终于做出决定了:我想辞职。
Miss S:Well, after the Spring Festival, I ’ve had something on my mind, it's my job that bothers me. You know I 've been thinking about quitting it, and I finally made up my mind.
小念君:啊!辞职啊?为什么呢?你不工作得挺好的吗?
J: What ? You wanna quit? Why? Don't you find it satisfying 1?
S小姐:哎,是这样的:我以前公司的主管春节后给我打了电话,他让我回去工作,给的工资让我挺满意的,所以现在我有点犹豫要不要辞职回原来的公司干。
Miss S: Well, after the Spring Festival holiday, I got a call from my former manager, he asked me to go back to work and said he would give me a salary that would put a smile on my face. Now I’m having second thoughts about quitting.
小念君:我不知道怎么给你建议,但如果是我的话,如果面对一份我不喜欢的工作,不管工资怎样,我都不会考虑的。
J: I don’t know what to say. But if I don’t like my job, regardless 2 of the salary, I wouldn’t even consider it.
S小姐:我倒是不介意做的这份工是不是自己喜欢的,毕竟哪有那么容易能做上自己喜欢做的事?只要工资不错,上班不太累,我就满意。对了,还有另外一个原因让我想辞职。
Miss S: Well I don't mind if I like the job or not, after all, it's not easy to find a job that you like. I just look for a good salary and a light workload 3. And there’s another reason that makes me want to quit.
小念君:还有什么原因?
J: Like what? What else?
Miss S:我觉得在一个地方呆久了我就会感觉很烦,想要换一个环境,我在现在这个公司已经待了两年了。
Miss S: I’ll be bored if I stay in one place too long. So I want to be in a new environment. I’ve been working for this company for 2 years!
小念君:才两年你就烦了?那你最好做好准备,任何一份工作都会面临同样的问题,除非你不断的换工作,所以你要问问自己,这个工作到底是不是你喜欢的。
J: You’re bored after only two years? You’ll have the same problem no matter what job it is unless you change constantly 4.So you have to ask yourself, what exactly do you want to do?
Miss S:嗯,我知道了,其实我也不太清楚自己到底想要什么。也许这就是我不开心的原因吧!不过,我决定还是继续留下来工作,谢谢你的建议。
Miss S: Well, I got it. My problem is that I actually don't know what I like to do. That makes me unhappy about my work. OK, I guess I’ll stay here and keep up working. Thank you for your suggestion.
小念君:不客气。
J: You’re welcome.
Miss S: 你呢?你年前不是说年后回来也想换工作的吗?
Miss S: How about you? Didn’t you say you were gonna change your job after the Spring Festival?
小念君:对呀,但是我现在还没有找到自己满意的工作,我还在寻觅中。
J: Yeah. But I couldn’t find one that I liked. And I am still hunting for it
Miss S: 那你想找什么样的工作?
Miss S: What kind of job are you looking for?
小念君:我想找外贸类的工作吧!
J: One that involves foreign trade!
Miss S:外贸类的工作对英语的要求很高吧!
Miss S:That kind of job requires top notch 5 English skills.
小念君:对呀,所以我现在坚持听《英语PK台》,我希望自己的英语有很大的提升。
J: Yeah, so I am still listening to Going for Gold. I hope that it can improve my English a bit.
Miss S:那希望你学好英语后找到自己喜欢的工作!
Miss S:You can find your favorite job when you learn English well.
小念君:嗯,谢谢!
J: Thanks!
