Dialogue 對話

1. Hey Jen! I got a call-back from that marketing agency! They want me to come

in for an interview next week!

嗨Jen！我收到那個市場營銷公司給我的回電了！他們希望我下週去面試！

2. Wow, Nate! That's awesome! I'm really excited for you.

哇Nate！太棒了！我太為你興奮了！

1. Thanks. I'm excited too, but also really nervous. I don't even know what to

wear!

謝謝。我也很興奮，但是我也很緊張。我都不知道要穿什麼！

2. What are you talking about? You guys have it easy! All you need to do is throw

on a suit and tie and comb your hair and you're golden. We women have to

choose between suits, skirts and blouses, and one-pieces, plus we have to do

our hair and make-up.

你在說什麼呀，對你們男人來說這太簡單了！你們只要套上西裝領帶梳梳頭髮就好

了。我們女人要選西裝，裙子，襯衫，還是連衣裙，而且我們還要弄頭髮和化妝呢

。

1. Alright already! So what do you think: a black suit jacket with a white

button-down? What about my tie?

好吧！那你怎麼覺得黑色夾克外套加白色鈕釦襯衫怎麼樣？我帶什麼領帶？

2. Hmm, I think a brighter color would look really nice. Be sure you wear shoes

and socks that match your jacket. Also, make sure you get it dry-cleaned or at

least iron it before your interview so that it's not wrinkled.

嗯...我覺得亮一點的顏色會很好看。記得鞋子和襪子要和你的夾克相配。而且，一

定要在面試前把夾克乾洗或至少熨一下，不要皺皺巴巴的。

1. OK, thanks! Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to say...

好的，謝謝！現在我只要考慮到時候說什麼就行了.........
