It’s my first payday today! Congratulations! Let’s celebrate. OK! I’ll treat you to dinner. Brilliant! Can I choose the restaurant? OK, but remember I’m only on an entry-level salary! I’ll choose somewhere that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!
你怎么迟到了? 不知道这么堵,我开车出来的。 这个时间段利用地铁最方便。 是啊,还是地铁畅通不堵车。
How’s your team handling the new project? Well, everything is running smoothly so far. Are you on track to meet the deadline? Yes, but I think we need more communication with other departments. OK. Let’s schedule a meeting to get an update from the other teams. Right, we need to make sure we are all on the same page.
节日快到了,打算做什么? 我想回老家。 想父母了吧? 是啊,团圆的节日更想父母。
I’m looking for another job. What’s wrong with this job? Well, when the company moves, the commuting time will be too long. How long will it take to get to the new location? It will take over two hours to get there door-to-door. That’s too long. It’s a shame because I was just settling into this job.
听说你要去旅游? 是啊,想放松放松。 什么时候动身呢? 等到旅游淡季的时候。
这两件衣服中你觉得哪件更漂亮? 依我看这件衣服更漂亮。 是吗?我也喜欢这件,我去问问还有没有别的颜色。 嗯,你最好去试一试。
I’m wondering if I should apply for this job after all. What’s stopping you? Well, they offer flexitime, but employees can’t work from home. Don’t you want to work in the office? No. I need complete silence to work. It can be isolating at home, though. But I think I’m more productive working from home. Then perhaps this job won’t suit you.
你喜欢吃蔬菜还是肉类? 我不吃肉已经一年了。 你可真有决心。 我是素食主义。
