Interview 3

Manager: Looking through your C.V., I see that you graduated from Oklahoma State University. Can you tell me what training you have had that would specifically relate to the cable television Industry?
我看過你的簡歷了，你畢業(yè)于俄克拉馬州州立大學(xué)。你能告訴我你有過哪些有線電視行業(yè)的培訓(xùn)嗎?
Engineer: Well, I’ve attended some conferences in this field. But the most relevant training I’ve had was in computer design. I believe I could integrate that knowledge with my college degree to design a program for your company.
我參加過這個領(lǐng)域的一些討論會。但大部分相關(guān)培訓(xùn)都是電腦設(shè)計(jì)。我相信我能夠結(jié)合電腦設(shè)計(jì)和所學(xué)的知識開發(fā)出貴公司需要的新應(yīng)用軟件。

Manager: I see. Did you have anything specific in mind?
我明白。你有什么具體的設(shè)想？
Engineer: Well, I notice that you currently provide an on-screen TV Guide. At the moment, it just scrolls the names of the programs in a repeated loop. If you have many channels, you have to wait a long time to find the item you are interested in. I believe I could design a program that makes the guide interactive. Customers could go right to the program they want.
我注意到在您目前提供的收視指南。觀眾只級在重復(fù)滾動的節(jié)目單中選擇。如果有很多頻道，您得等很長時間才能找到感興趣的那一項(xiàng)。我能設(shè)計(jì)一個程序，使指南具有交互性。觀眾可以直接找到他們想看的節(jié)目。

Manager: That’s impressive. How would you make the pay?
這個想法很有意思。你準(zhǔn)備如何進(jìn)行收費(fèi)呢？
Engineer: Tie it in with the pay-per-view services, and perhaps it could be a money-maker.
把它與會費(fèi)點(diǎn)播服務(wù)捆綁在一起，說不定它會為我們賺許多錢。
Manager: I see you have several good ideas. Now, I just have a few questions about your C.V. I notice that there is a five-year gap between your last job and now.
看來你有很多好想法。我對你的簡歷有幾個問題。我發(fā)現(xiàn)從你的前一份工作到現(xiàn)在，有五年是空白。

Engineer: Yes, I took a break from work during that time. I had a baby, and as she was born with a handicap, I decided to suspend my career. But I have continued to keep up with the Industry through conferences and professional journals.
是的。我休息了一段時間。我那時有了孩子，孩子有些殘疾，我決定離職。但我一直通過討論會和行業(yè)雜志來關(guān)注這個行業(yè)的發(fā)展。
Manager: So, you’re just starting back. Maybe you’d better tell me a little more about your experience.
那你現(xiàn)在是準(zhǔn)備重返這個行業(yè)了。你還需要再多告訴我一些你的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
