地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客566:推薦一份工作

Harry: I’ve put in a good word for you with my boss. He said to stop by the store at 4:00 today and he’ll interview you for the job.

哈里:我已經(jīng)向我老板美言過(guò)你了。他說(shuō)他今天下午四點(diǎn)來(lái)商店時(shí)將會(huì)對(duì)你進(jìn)行面試。

Judy: Okay, I think I can make it around 4:00.

朱迪：好的，我想我可以在大約四點(diǎn)趕到那。

Harry: Not around 4:00. You need to be there at 4:00 sharp, got that? I’m sticking my neck out for you by recommending you for this job, so don’t let me down.

哈里:不是大約四點(diǎn)，四點(diǎn)時(shí)你必須已經(jīng)在那了，聽(tīng)明白了嗎?我為了你冒著風(fēng)險(xiǎn)把你推薦給我老板，所以不要讓我失望。

Judy: All right, I’ll be there. It’s not like it’s my idea to get a job at your store. I didn’t ask you to put your reputation on the line. I don’t think that job is a good fit for me.

朱迪：好吧，我會(huì)準(zhǔn)時(shí)到的。并不是我想在你的商店工作的。我沒(méi)有讓你用你的信譽(yù)度冒風(fēng)險(xiǎn)啊，我不認(rèn)為這份工作適合我。

Harry: You can’t afford to be choosy. You need a job and you need it right now.

哈里:已經(jīng)由不得你挑三揀四了。你需要一份工作，而且是現(xiàn)在就急需一份工作。

Judy: I’m not in a hurry. I want to find a job that really suits my talents.

朱迪：我不著急的。我想找一份真正適合我，可以發(fā)揮我才能的工作。

Harry: I’m sick of you sleeping on my couch and mooching off me. By the time you find a job that suits your talents, I’ll be in a nursing home – or an insane asylum!

哈里:我厭煩了你睡在我的沙發(fā)上，還時(shí)不時(shí)的占我的便宜。等到你找到可以發(fā)揮你才能的工作，估計(jì)我都已經(jīng)住進(jìn)了療養(yǎng)院，或者住進(jìn)了精神病院了。
