Jennifer has just finished work and is meeting her friend Anton for a drink.

Jennifer刚刚完成工作,在与她的朋友Anton喝东西。

Anton: So how is everything?

Anton:近期如何?

Jennifer: Oh God! Work is a nightmare1; its really getting me down...

Jennifer:天啊!工作简直就是一场噩梦,让我失望透顶。

Anton: Whats the problem?

Anton:碰到那些问题了吗?

Jennifer: Everything, its just so boring. Worst of all is my boss. He

smokes all the time so the office always stinks2 and yesterday he

asked me out for dinner.

Jennifer:什么都不对劲,这份工作太无趣了。最糟糕的是我的老板。他不断地吸烟,弄得办公室都是难闻的味道。昨天他居然还邀请我共进晚餐。

Anton: So what? Hes just being friendly.

Anton:那又如何?他只不过出于友好。

Jennifer: Too friendly, if you know what I mean.

Jennifer:过于友好了, 你了解我指的是什么。

Anton: Sounds like you need to find a new job. I suppose you have to

update your CV. Come round and tomorrow and Ill help.

Anton:如此说来你需要找一份新的工作。我想你需要更新一下你的简历。明天来我家吧,我会帮你。

Next day Jennifer arrives at Antons flat.

第二天,Jennifer来到Anton的住处。

Jennifer: Thanks for offering to help.

Jennifer:谢谢你主动帮忙。

Anton: No worries. Well soon knock your CV into shape.

Anton:别担忧,大家立刻就能叫你的简历初具雏形。

Jennifer: Cheers, I dont even know where to start.

Jennifer:太好了,我都不了解该如何开始。

Anton: Its not difficult. You just have to lay out all your work

experience and education in chronological3 order...then go online and

start checking out vacancies4.

Anton:这并不难。你仅需按逻辑列举出你所有些工作历程和受过的教育,然后上网查看有那些职位空缺就好了。

After completing her CV Jennifer went home to surf the net. She

posted over 30 emails enquiring5 about jobs. One week later she is

resting at home when Anton calls.

做完简历后,Jennifer回到家上网冲浪。她发出了30封求职的邮件。一个星期后,当她在家里休息的时候,Anton打来电话。

Anton: Any luck with the applications?

Anton:发出的申请表有回话吗?

Jennifer: Hi there, none at all. All rejections6 so far. Still waiting

for a few to get back to me. Anything particularly interesting?

Jennifer:还没。不过说都被拒绝了还为时过早。我还在等一些企业的回话。有哪些有意思的工作吗?

Anton: Yeah, job with Siemens as PR Specialist but it looks like they arent

interested in me...

Anton:是呀,Siemens公关专员的工作还很好,可是仿佛他们对我不太有兴趣。
