評(píng)論

I went to hunt for a job in a magazine company. For merely five editing positions, there were more than 300 applicants.
大學(xué)畢業(yè)后我去一家雜志社應(yīng)聘。5個(gè)編輯崗位,報(bào)名者多達(dá)300多人。
After the written test, only 50 candidates could enter the final interview. On the day of the interview, I rose from bed at about 6:00 in the morning and got well dressed in the suit borrowed from one of my classmates. Shortly, I arrived at the interview site without having breakfast. The company required us to draw lots to determine the interview order. I was the 24th candidate to be interviewed. Preceding me was the 22nd candidate who was a short and plain-looking girl wearing light blue casual clothes without using any make-ups to cover her freckles. Her plain looking contrasted tremendously with other girl candidates who were in good dress and make-up in the intensive atmosphere. I greeted her by nodding my head and got a shallow smile in reply. I asked her where she graduated. She dropped down her head and kept silent for a short while, and then told me in a low voice, “I graduated from a junior college, the only one who does not get a bachelor’s degree among the 50 candidates.”
筆試過后只有50個(gè)人進(jìn)入面試。面試那天,不到清晨6點(diǎn)我便起了床,穿戴好從同學(xué)那里借來的西服和領(lǐng)帶,早點(diǎn)都顧不上吃就趕到了面試地點(diǎn)。雜志社要求用抽簽的方式來決定面試次序,我抽到了24號(hào)。站在我前面的22號(hào)是一個(gè)身材矮小、相貌不出眾的女生。她穿了一件淺藍(lán)色的休閑裝,臉上的斑點(diǎn)都沒有用化妝品覆蓋。她素面朝天的樣子與細(xì)細(xì)打扮的女生們和屋內(nèi)嚴(yán)肅緊張的氣氛形成了鮮明的對(duì)比。我向她點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭,她回了我一個(gè)淺淺的微笑。我問她是從哪里畢業(yè)?她低頭沉默了片刻,小聲說:“我是從一所大專學(xué)校畢業(yè)的,是這50個(gè)人里唯一一個(gè)大專生。”
I did not expect the interview would last for such a long time. Two hours had passed but only 10 candidates had been interviewed. As I had stomach inflammation and did not have breakfast, my stomach started to ache gradually. Half an hour later, I could hardly focus myself on the book and large drops of sweat ran down from my forehead, making me be only able to lean by the table for a rest.
沒想到面試時(shí)間如此之長。時(shí)間過去了兩個(gè)小時(shí),卻只輪到10號(hào)應(yīng)聘者去面試。由于沒吃早點(diǎn),我原本就有慢性炎癥的胃開始隱隱作痛。半個(gè)小時(shí)后我已經(jīng)沒有力氣把精力集中到書本上,大滴大滴的汗珠從額頭上冒了出來。我只能趴在桌子上稍作休息。
