Put an Ad on Craigslist
在Craigslist上投放廣告
The phone rang. "How's New York?" Wally asked. "I love it," Eugene said. "Have you found a job?" Wally asked. "Of course I haven't found a job," Eugene said. "I only got here a month ago." "You'd better hurry up," said Wally. "Your savings will run out before you know it." "I'm looking," said Eugene. "But it's tough. Thousands of people are looking for work. But there aren't thousands of jobs." "You should try Craigslist," said Wally. "Many people in New York want to improve their English. They will pay you good money. Look on Craigslist. See what other English teachers are charging. Charge a few dollars less." "That's a good idea," said Eugene. "But should I charge less or more? If I charge less, they might think I'm not so good. If I charge more, they might think I'm very good." "Put TWO ads on Craigslist," said Wally.
電話響了。沃利問道：“紐約怎么樣？”尤金回答：“我非常喜歡。”沃利問道：“你找到工作了嗎？”尤金回答：“還沒有找到。我來到這里才一個月。”沃利說：“你最好抓緊了。你的存款會很快用完的。”尤金說：“我正在找，但是很難。上千人找工作。但是卻沒有上千個工作職位。”沃利稱：“你可以試試Craigslist。紐約有許多人想提高英語。他們會支付你高額的工資。看看Craigslist。看看其他英語老師的價格。你可以少要幾美金。”尤金說：“這是個好主意。但是我是該提高價格，還是降低價格？”如果我的價格太低，他們會認為我不夠好。如果我的價格太高，他們或許會認為我非常好。”沃利稱：“在Craigslist上登兩個廣告。”
