Conversation One
W: Mr. Pitt. I'd like you to tell me a bit about what you've been doing.
M: Well, I left senior high school after I'd done my A levels. I took four subjects, French, German, chemistry and art. I really wanted to study art. It didn't turn out like that, because a friend of my father's offered me a job. (1)It's an accountant in London. A quite big firm, you know.
W: I see. In your application, you say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that?
M: Well, to be quite honest, I didn't like it. (2) I just couldn't seem to get interested in the job although there were fairly good prospects. So I got a place at the art college to do a three-year diploma course.
W: We like our executive staff to undergo a thorough training. Young men on our trainee scheme would have to work through every branch in the company. And one of them is accountancy. Presumably you wouldn't like that.
M: Well, if I had to do it, I suppose... (3) But I was thinking that my French and German would mean that I could specialize in overseas work. I'd like to be some sort of an export salesman and travel abroad.
W: You know, the glamour of traveling abroad disappears when you've got a hard job of work to do. It's not all fun and game.
M: Oh yes, I realize that. It's just that my knowledge of languages would be useful.
W: That's all, Mr. Pitt. (4) You should hear from us in a couple of weeks. One way or the other, or we may ask you to come back for another chat. Thank you.
M: Goodbye, Mrs. Williams.

對(duì)話一
女：皮特先生，我想請(qǐng)你介紹一下你的經(jīng)歷。
男：啊，我通過(guò)甲級(jí)考試以后高中畢業(yè)。之后我修了四門(mén)課程，分別是法語(yǔ)、德語(yǔ)、化學(xué)和美術(shù)。我真的很想學(xué)習(xí)美術(shù)。但是事實(shí)并沒(méi)有如我所愿，因?yàn)槲腋赣H的一位朋友給了我一份工作。這份工作是在倫敦一家大型公司做會(huì)計(jì)。
女：我明白了。你的簡(jiǎn)歷上顯示你在這家會(huì)計(jì)公司只工作了9個(gè)月。這是為什么呢？
男：說(shuō)實(shí)話，是因?yàn)槲也幌矚g這份工作。盡管這份工作似乎很有前景但是我就是無(wú)法喜歡上它。所以我進(jìn)入了一個(gè)藝術(shù)學(xué)院，修了一個(gè)三年的文憑。
女：我們希望我們的行政人員對(duì)新員工進(jìn)行一個(gè)徹底地培訓(xùn)。我們的培訓(xùn)項(xiàng)目要求年輕人在公司的每個(gè)分支進(jìn)行輪崗。其中的一個(gè)崗位就是會(huì)計(jì)。我想你可能會(huì)不喜歡。
男：啊，如果我必須做的話，我想……但是我想我的法語(yǔ)和德語(yǔ)技能可以讓我專(zhuān)門(mén)從事一些海外業(yè)務(wù)。我希望我可以做類(lèi)似外貿(mào)員，可以去海外出差。
女：你知道嗎，當(dāng)你的工作任務(wù)十分艱巨時(shí)，到海外出差的光鮮感就會(huì)完全消失。這不是玩笑也不是游戲。
男：哦，是的，我知道這一點(diǎn)。我只是覺(jué)得我的語(yǔ)言能力可以派上用場(chǎng)。
女：皮特先生，我們的面試結(jié)束了。幾周內(nèi)你會(huì)收到我們的答復(fù)。不論是哪種形式的回復(fù)。或許我們會(huì)需要你回來(lái)再談一下。謝謝你。
男：再見(jiàn)，威廉姆斯女士。
