M: Thank you, ma'am.
約翰遜先生：謝謝你，女士。
W: I have read your letter here. You seem to have done very well at school. Can you tell me something about your school work?
女士：我在這里讀過你的信。你似乎在學校表現得很好。你能跟我講講你學校的工作嗎？
M: As you can see, my strongest subjects were art subjects. My best subject was history and my second best was geography.
約翰遜先生：正如你所看到的，我最擅長的科目是藝術。我最好的科目是歷史，其次是地理。
M: However, my favorite subject was math and the results I got in the math paper were quite reasonable.
約翰遜先生：然而，我最喜歡的科目是數學，我的數學論文相當不錯。
W: That's true. Now can you tell me why you think these subjects will help you in this job?
女士：這是真的。現在你能告訴我為什么你認為這些科目會對你的工作有幫助呢？
M: Well, ma'am, I understand that you manufacture computers, prepare software and advise clients on how to use them. Is that right?
約翰遜先生：嗯，女士，我知道你們生產電腦，準備軟件，并向客戶建議如何使用。是這樣嗎？
W: That's right.
女士：是的。
M: And I've been told that working with computers needs the logical mind rather than great skills in mathematics.
約翰遜先生：有人說，與計算機打交道需要的是邏輯思維，而不是高超的數學技能。
M: That's especially true, I believe, when it comes to writing programs.
約翰遜先生：我相信，當涉及到編寫程序時，這一點尤其正確。
M: So I think my results show that I have some ability in logic and in mathematics as well.
約翰遜先生：所以我認為我的科目成績表明我在邏輯和數學方面也有一些能力。
W: So you would like to write material for computers, would you?
女士：所以你想為電腦編寫程序，是嗎？
M: Yes, ma'am, that's what interests me most about computers: writing programs.
約翰遜先生：是的，女士，這就是我對計算機最感興趣的地方：編寫程序。
M: But I think the computer industry itself is still expanding enormously.
約翰遜先生：但是我認為計算機產業本身仍在極大的擴張。
M: I am sure that career prospects in the industry will be very good no matter what sort of job I went into.
約翰遜先生：我相信，無論我從事什么樣的工作，這個行業的職業前景都會很好。
