瘋狂英語(yǔ)·口語(yǔ)版 2014年5期

Gerry: Good morning, Gertrude!

Gertrude: Hey, Gerry. Looks like we’ve got a new neighbor. Gerry: Sure do. I was wondering who was going to take Greg’s old desk.

Gertrude: Well, have you met the new guy? What’s he like?

Gerry: It’s a her, actually. ①A new grad, fresh off the assembly line.

Gertrude: ②I’m glad we’re finally getting some new blood, and another girl, to boot.

Gerry: Me too. I was beginning to worry that you were getting lonely, stuck here with all us men.

Gertrude: Oh, I wouldn’t worry about that. ③I’ve learned to fend for myself. I’d be more worried about the new girl, if I were you.

Gerry: What’s to worry about? I’m actually kind of 3)envious of her. Just out of college, full of hopes and ideas.

Gertrude: How romantic! I don’t think there’s anything to envy about being a greenhorn. She hasn’t even begun to learn the difference between school life and real life.

Gerry: ④Oh, Gertrude, don’t be such a Debbie Downer. I’m sure you enjoyed your first job out of college.

Gertrude: I didn’t enjoy the job itself, but I sure did enjoy earning real greenbacks for the first time. I still have my first salary check 4)framed on my wall.

Gerry: Well, unfortunately, that’s the one 5)perk our new friend won’t be getting.

Gertrude: What do you mean? Oh, don’t tell me…

Gerry: That’s right. She’s an unpaid intern.

Gertrude: Well, I suppose it was only a matter of time before our company started hiring unpaid workers.

Gerry: Wait, what about Gary from last year? Wasn’t he unpaid?

Gertrude: Yeah, but that’s different. Gary hadn’t graduated yet, so we could hire him for free. Technically, it’s illegal to hire a graduate and not pay at least the 6)minimum wage. Gerry: What? Really? Then why on Earth aren’t we paying her?

Gertrude: ⑤Simply put, it’s probably because we don’t have to. The job market is pretty tight these days. Most fresh grads are happy just to take what they can get.

Gerry: Really? I wouldn’t put up with that.

Gertrude: Are you so sure? ⑥A fresh grad, with hopes and dreams and stars in your eyes, wouldn’t you take an unpaid job at a good company to start off your career on a high note?

Gerry: Well, maybe. ⑦But look at it from the company’s perspective. If a candidate applies to us and says he or she is willing to work for free, wouldn’t you think this person isn’t confident enough in his or her own skills?

Gertrude: I hadn’t thought about it like that. I suppose a 7)competent worker should be able to demand a good salary.

Gerry: Exactly. Our company doesn’t exist to help train new workers. Our company exists to make a profit. We need people who are looking to make a contribution, not build their own resume.

Gertrude: All the same, if I couldn’t find a paying 8)gig right after graduation, I suppose an internship is better than nothing. Hey, is that her coming over here now?

Gerry: It sure is! Gertrude, meet Gretta! Gretta, Gertrude!

Gertrude: Charmed!

格里:肯定是。我在想誰(shuí)將要坐在格雷格的位置上。

格特魯?shù)拢亨?,你?jiàn)過(guò)那個(gè)新來(lái)的嗎?他長(zhǎng)得怎樣?

格里:其實(shí)是個(gè)女的。一個(gè)新鮮出爐的畢業(yè)生。

格特魯?shù)拢汉芨吲d我們終于有新鮮血液了,而且還是一個(gè)女孩。

格里:我也是。我之前還在擔(dān)心你在這里總是跟我們男生在一起,會(huì)覺(jué)得孤單。

格特魯?shù)拢亨?,我不?huì)擔(dān)心這個(gè)問(wèn)題。我已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)了自己照顧自己。如果我是你,我會(huì)更擔(dān)心那個(gè)新來(lái)的女孩。

格里:有什么可擔(dān)心的?事實(shí)上我有點(diǎn)嫉妒她。才剛大學(xué)畢業(yè),充滿著希望和想法。

格特魯?shù)拢耗阆胩嗔?!我不認(rèn)為一個(gè)新手有什么可羨慕的。她甚至還沒(méi)有開(kāi)始了解學(xué)校生活與社會(huì)生活的不同。

格里:噢,格特魯?shù)拢瑒e那么掃興。我相信你很享受大學(xué)畢業(yè)后的第一份工作。

格特魯?shù)拢何也幌硎苣欠莨ぷ鞅旧?,但是我的確很享受第一次賺到真正的薪水。我還把我第一次的薪水單裱起來(lái)掛在墻上。格里:好吧,但不幸的是,這是我們這位新朋友沒(méi)有的待遇。

格特魯?shù)拢耗闶裁匆馑??噢,別告訴我……

格里:對(duì)。她是一個(gè)沒(méi)有薪水的實(shí)習(xí)生。

格特魯?shù)拢亨?,我想我們公司開(kāi)始雇傭零薪水員工指日可待了。

格里:等等,那上一年來(lái)的加里呢?他也沒(méi)有工資嗎?

格特魯?shù)拢亨?,但情況不同。加里還沒(méi)有畢業(yè),所以我們能免費(fèi)雇傭他。法律上,雇傭畢業(yè)生時(shí)不給他們最低的薪水是違法的。

格里:什么?真的嗎?那我們?yōu)槭裁床唤o那個(gè)新來(lái)的女生薪水呢?

格特魯?shù)拢汉?jiǎn)而言之,也許是因?yàn)槲覀儧](méi)必要這么做。現(xiàn)在就業(yè)市場(chǎng)的形勢(shì)很?chē)?yán)峻,大部分剛畢業(yè)的學(xué)生都會(huì)樂(lè)意接受找到的工作。

格里:真的嗎?我不能忍受(零薪水)。格特魯?shù)拢耗阏娴哪敲创_定?一個(gè)剛畢業(yè)的大學(xué)生,眼中充滿著希望、理想和目標(biāo),你會(huì)不愿意接受一家大公司提供的零薪水工作,給自己的職業(yè)生涯打響第一炮?

格里:好吧,我也許會(huì)。但是從公司的角度來(lái)說(shuō),如果一個(gè)求職者來(lái)應(yīng)聘的時(shí)候說(shuō)他愿意接受零薪水的工作,你不會(huì)認(rèn)為這個(gè)人是對(duì)自己的能力沒(méi)自信嗎?格特魯?shù)拢何覜](méi)有這樣想過(guò)。我想一個(gè)有能力的人應(yīng)該能夠求得一份好的薪水。

格里:當(dāng)然,我們公司不是為了培養(yǎng)新的員工,而是為了盈利的。我們需要的是那些能為我們創(chuàng)造利益的人,而不是那些為了充實(shí)自己簡(jiǎn)歷的人。

格特魯?shù)拢和瑯拥兀绻诋厴I(yè)后我不能找到一份有薪水的臨時(shí)工作,我會(huì)認(rèn)為實(shí)習(xí)比沒(méi)工作好。嘿,那個(gè)新來(lái)的女生正在走過(guò)來(lái)吧?

格里:是的!格特魯?shù)?。這是格里塔!格里塔,這是格特魯?shù)拢?/p>
