英語口語王想聊就聊(昂秀)topics-7.6.5 失業(yè)后的打算

W: Hi, Dan. What's new?

M: Where have you been? I've been trying to get in touch with you for two days.

W: I went to Salt Lake City on business. What's up?

M: I got fired.

W: How come? Last time I saw you. You told me it was a good job, and you'd like to take it as a career. That was only one month ago. Why this sudden change?

M: It's a long story. In a word, I didn't do a good job of it. I messed up a business deal, a deal that would have made ten million dollars and I messed it up.

W: What are you going to do now?

M: I am trying to find a job asap. Lily doesn't know yet. I didn't tell her. I spent the past three days at the coffee shop next to your office, and she thought I went to work as usual.

W: That's not the way to solve the problem. Did you look in the classified advertisements column?

M: Yes, I did. But I wasn't qualified for most of the jobs that I was interested in.

W: Listen. I will see what I can do, ok? You go home and tell Lily about this problem you have now. She is your wife and I am sure she will understand.

M: I just don't know how to bring it up. Well, all right. She has the right to know anyways.

W：嗨，Dan，有什么新鮮事嗎？

M：你去哪兒了？我都找你兩天了。

W：我去鹽城湖出差了，怎么了？

M：我被開除了。

W：怎么會？上次見著你的時候，你告訴我工作很不錯，你會把它當作事業(yè)來做，那只是一個月前的事情。怎么突然就起了變化？

M：說來話長，總之，我沒有把工作做好。我搞砸了一樁買賣，一樁可以掙一千萬美元的買賣，我還把它給搞砸了。

M：那你現(xiàn)在做什么呢？

W：我想忙找份工作，Lily還不知道，我沒告訴她。過去的三天我都在你辦公室旁邊的咖啡廳里呆著，她認為我還和往常一樣去工作了。

M：這也不是解決問題的辦法，你看了分類廣告了嗎？

W：看了，但是大多數(shù)我喜歡的工作我都不夠格。

M：聽著，我看看我能做什么，好吧？你回家告訴Lily關于你現(xiàn)在所面對的這個問題，她是你的妻子，她會理解的。

W：我只是不知道該怎么和她說…好吧，不管怎么說她有知道的權利。
