Miss Jones, could you tell me more about your first job with hotel marketing concepts?

I see from your resume that you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan?
我從你的簡歷看出你會說日語。你去過日本嗎?
Yes, I have. I spent a month in Japan in 2006. I met all the key people in the tourist industry, the big tour operators, and the tourist organizations. As I speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage.

Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan, in your present job?

真的嗎?我真的很想聽下去。但是首先請告訴我,你有沒有坐過豪華列車旅游?例如,東方快車?
No, I haven't. But I've traveled on the Glacier Express to Switzerland, and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That's why I am very interested in this job.
不,我沒有,但我坐過到瑞士的冰川快車,8年前我坐火車走遍了中國。我喜歡坐火車旅行。這就是為什么我對這份工作如此的感興趣。
