嗨，戴夫，好久不見(jiàn)!

Dave: Hi Maria.I was in the neighborhood,so I thought I’d drop by.

嗨，瑪麗亞，我就住在附近，所以我想最好是來(lái)順便看看你。

Maria: Come on in .Take a seat.Would you like anything to drink? I have Sprite or orange juice.

快進(jìn)來(lái)，請(qǐng)坐。想喝點(diǎn)什么?雪碧還是果汁?

Dave: Sprite would be fine.Uh so, how have you been?

喝雪碧行了。哦，最近怎么樣?

Maria: Oh, not bad,And you?

還可以，你呢?

Dave: Oh, I’m doing okay but school has been really hectic, these days ,and I haven’t had time to relax

也不錯(cuò)。只是這些天學(xué)校比較忙亂，抽不出些時(shí)間放松一下。

Maria: By the way, what’s your major anyway?

順便問(wèn)一下，你的專(zhuān)業(yè)是什么?

Dave: Hotel management.

酒店管理。

Maria: Well ,what do you want to do once you graduate?

那么，畢業(yè)后想干什么?

Dave: Uh... I haven’t decided for sure,but I think I’d like to work for a hotel or travel agency in this area,How about you?

嗯—我還沒(méi)決定，但我想去酒店或旅行社工作，你呢?

Maria: Well, when I first started college,I wanted to major in French ,but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job using the language.

我剛剛上大學(xué)的時(shí)候，我想專(zhuān)修法語(yǔ)，但我知道以后很難找到派上用場(chǎng)的工作，

so I changed majors to computer science,

所以我就轉(zhuǎn)到計(jì)算機(jī)專(zhuān)業(yè)。

With the right skills ,landing a job in computer industry shouldn’t be as difficult.

有了適當(dāng)?shù)募寄埽谟?jì)算機(jī)行業(yè)找份工作我想不會(huì)太困難。

Dave: So, do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school?

你做過(guò)兼職來(lái)資助自己完成學(xué)業(yè)嗎?

Maria: Well ,fortunately for me ,I received a four-year academic schoolarship that pays for all of my tuition and books.

哦，我還算幸運(yùn)，獲得了一個(gè)四年學(xué)術(shù)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，它們足夠支付我的學(xué)費(fèi)和書(shū)費(fèi)了。

Dave: Wow,That’s great.

噢，真是太好了。

Maria: Yeah..How about you? Are you working your way through school?

是啊!你呢?你一直打工賺錢(qián)讀書(shū)嗎?

Dave: Yeah,I work three times a week at a restaurant near campus.

我每周在學(xué)校附近的餐館里工作三天。

Maria: Oh, What do you do there?

你在那做什么?

Dave: I’m a cook.

我是個(gè)廚師。

Maria: How do you like your job?

你喜歡你的工作嗎?

Dave: It’s okay .The other workers are friendly,and the pay isn’t bad.

很好，同事都很友好，薪水也不低。
