A：Hi, Tony. Haven’t seen you for a long time. How have you been?

你好，托尼。好长时间没看见你了，你怎么样?

B：OK, I’ve been looking for a job for days,and I haven’t found one yet. It's so hard finding work these days. Have you had any luck?

还好，我已经找了好几天工作了，但是还没找到。这些日子太难找到工作。你的运气怎么样?

A：Yes, I've got a job, a waiter's job in a restaurant.

还行。我有一份工作，是在一家餐馆做服务生。

B：Are you well paid?

待遇好吗?

A：Well, $10 per hour, but I can keep the tips. That comes to roughly $80 every evening

嗯,每小时10美元，但我能把小费留下。 每晚大概能有80美元。

B：Not bad.

不错呀。

A：Actually, there's still another opening. If you are interested, you’ll surely get it.

其实,还有一个空缺。如果你感兴趣,我肯定你能得到这份工作。

B：That’s great! I’ll go there right now and speak with the boss.

那太好了!我现在就去跟老板谈谈。

A：There’s no rush. You can see him tomorrow. I’ve told him about you. He promised to give you the job.

不必匆忙。明天你能见到他。我已经跟他提起过你。他答应给你这份工作。

B：That was nice of you, Susan. Thanks a lot.

你太好了,苏珊。多谢了。

A：Think nothing of it, Tony. I’m sure you’d do the same for me.

这没什么，托尼。我肯定你会为我做同样的事。

B：Could you tell me a bit more about the work there? I mean, those dos and don'ts. I am a green hand, you know.

你能跟我再讲讲那儿的工作吗?我的意思是，那些注意事项，你知道，我是个新手。

A：First of all, you must be punctual. You should be there before 6 p. m. so that you will have half an hour for preparation changing clothes and things like that. Then，remember you should smile. Smile to your customers all the time. Never pull a long face even If you feel awful that day. Anything else? Oh, yes. Never argue with your boss. Learn to say 'Yes， sir. '

首先,你必须准时。你应该在下午6点之前到达那里，这样你有半个小时的准备时间——换衣服等类似的事。其次, 记住你应该微笑。时常对你的顾客微笑。即使当天你感觉不好也不要拉长着脸。还有什么呢?噢，对了，不要与你的老板争论。学会说“是的，先生”。

B：Be a yes-man, you mean?

你的意思是说做一个唯唯诺诺的人?

A：You may put it that way if you like. Don’t worry. You’ll have no problem.

如果你愿意你可以这么说。别担心，你不会有问题的。

B：I hope not.

我希望不会的。
