A: What got you interested in working for a travel agency?
A:是什么使你对在旅行社工作感兴趣？
B: Well, that’s a long story, actually. Ever since I was little, I’ve been interested in foreign countries, especially their literature and culture. I majored in English in college so that I’d be able to understand those cultures better. I’m especially interested in the United States. Are you American?
B:嗯,其实说来话长，我从小就对外国感兴 趣,尤其是他们的文学和文化。我大学 主修英文；所以比较能够了解那些文化。 我特别对美国感兴趣，你是美国人吗？
A: No. I’m Canadian, actually.
A:不，我事实上是加拿大人。
B: Oh, sorry. I think I just put my foot in my mouth!
B:啊，抱歉！我想我说错话了。
A: Oh, that’s all right. I'm getting used to it.
A:喔，那没关系，我开始习惯了。
B: Well, anyway, excuse me for getting off the subject. As I said, I’m very interested in foreign countries，especially the West, and so when I began thinking a-bout getting a job, a travel agency seemed the logical choice. I’d like to be an overseas tour guide, actually.
B:那么，无论如何原谅我跑题。我说过我 对外国很感兴趣，尤其是西方国家。所 以当我开始考虑找工作时，旅行社就似 乎是个合理的选择。事实上我想当海外 导游。
A: There’s a good chance of that If you go to work for this company. Not right a-way, of course, but in a few years, after people learn something about the way the business runs, a lot of them go overseas with a group, or go beforehand to set up hotel arrangements and such.
A:如果你为这个公司工作就会有好机会。 当然不是马上，而是过几年,等你们对营 业情况掌握一些以后，很多人就会和旅 行团到国外去，或是先去订旅馆等等。
B: That would be interesting. I’d like to be a good tour guide, and help people really enjoy their trips.
B:那一定很有意思,我想当一个好导游，帮 人家真正享受旅游。
A: Ah, that’s Mr. Guo. He is ready to give you your Chinese interview. His room is two doors down and to the right. I’ve enjoyed talking with you.
A:喔，那是郭先生，他准备和你用中文面 谈。他的房间在继续向前的右手边第二 间。和你谈话很愉快。
B: Thank you very much.
B:非常感谢你。
A: Thank you for coming.
A:谢谢你的到来。
