asking about jobs詢問有關工作的事宜
I was at the store the other day. I saw a former co-worker, Michael, across the room. He used to work at my company until he quit a few months ago to start a new job as a public relations officer at Missouri University. It's a job he's been working toward for years. He wasn't happy working for a corporation and wanted to get into either a non-profit organization or a university. I wanted to see how he was doing. The truth was, I was thinking of making a move myself.
有一天我在商場中看到了我以前的同事麥克。他曾經(jīng)在我的公司中任職，幾個朋前找到一個新工作，去密蘇里大學任公共關系負責人。這是他找了幾年的工作。他不喜歡為企業(yè)工作，而想供職于非贏利性機構(gòu)或大學。我想知道他混得如何了。我決定主動去問他

英語情景對話
Becky: Hey, Michael. Remember me? I'm Becky. We used to work at Lekmans together.
女：嗨，麥克，還記得我嗎，我是貝奇，我們曾經(jīng)一起在雷克曼公司工作過
Michael: Oh, sure. How are you? Long time, no see. How are things at Lekmans?
男：噢，當然，你好嗎，很久沒見了，雷克曼公司還好吧
Becky: It's about the same. I've been thinking of making a change myself. Do you mind if I ask you a few things about your job at the university?
女：沒什么變化。我現(xiàn)在也正在想嘗試些改變。你不介意我問問你有關學校工作的事宜吧
Michael: No, not at all. Go ahead.
男：響，沒有事，你問吧
Becky: Well, I was wondering what the salaries are like? I mean…are they much lower than the corporate world?
女：我想知道學校的薪水到底怎樣，我的意思是說是不是比商業(yè)公司要低很多
Michael: Well, I can't speak for all universities, but my salary is a definitely lower than at Lekmans. I just don't think the salaries are comparable when you leave a major corporation.
男：我不能代表所有的學校的情況，但我的薪水確實比在雷克曼要低。我不認為學校的薪水可以與商業(yè)企業(yè)的薪水相比。
Becky: Yeah, that's what I thought. But, I've heard that the perks are better. I was wondering if that was really true.
女：噢，跟你想象的差不多。不過我聽說學校的福利要更好些，是這樣的嗎
Michael: I'd have to say yes and no on that. I don't get a big end-of-the-year bonus like I did at Lekmans but I get to take classes for free if I want to. I've always wanted to get a graduate degree so I'm taking classes now to do that.
男：這個說法也對也不對。我不能象在雷克曼一樣年底能拿筆大資金，不過在這里我可以免費上很課程。我一直想拿個學位所以我現(xiàn)在就在努力這么做。
Becky: Oh, that's great. It sounds like you're really happy with your move.
女：那太好了，看來你真是喜歡你現(xiàn)在的狀況。
Michael: Yeah, I guess I am. Working at a university is the really suits me.
男：我想應該主是吧，在學校中工作真的很適合我。
