Ⅳ.對話篇

Beth: I have always wanted to work in our sales department.

貝絲：我總想到我們的銷售部門去工作。

Sally: Have you ever mentioned this to the sales manager?

莎麗：這你有沒有跟銷售經理提過？

Beth: No. I have never had enough courage to speak with him.

貝絲：沒。我從沒有足夠的勇氣去跟他說。

Sally: Sales staff must be able to talk to anyone without getting nervous. Why do you think you would be good in sales?

莎麗：銷售人員必須有能力同任何人交談而不感到緊張。你為什么認為你能干好銷售呢？

Beth: Because I know our company products really well and I think I could sell them.

貝絲：因為我對我們公司的產品確實非常了解，而且我認為我可以把他們銷售出去。

Sally: But do you have a silver tongue?

莎麗：但你有三寸不爛之舌么？

Beth: Not really, but I think I could learn.

貝絲：還沒有。但我想我可以學。

Sally: I don't like the idea of getting paid commission. I like to know how much I will earn each month.

莎麗：我不喜歡按提成領薪的主意。我想知道我一個月能掙多少錢。

Beth: Maybe you are right and I should just stick with Human Resources.

貝絲：也許你是對的。我應該繼續留在人力資源部里。

Sally: At least if you stay in this department we can still study English together!

莎麗：如果你留在這兒的話至少我們還可以一起學英語。
