你在哪里工作，需要很強的社交能力嗎

今天的這段對話，在討論工作與社交，
 
你在哪里工作，需要社交能力嗎
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Where are you working these days?
 
你最近在哪里工作？
 
B: I'm working at the restaurant around the station.
 
我現(xiàn)在在地鐵站附近的一家餐廳工作。
 
A: What's it like working in a restaurant?
 
在餐廳工作怎么樣？
 
B: Well, it's ... busy times are busy, but boring sometimes. It's just usual work: washing dishes, serving and then that it's pretty much. Not a big deal job. I really like it, but at the same time I'm looking for more. I think I should look for a desk job or something.
 
忙的時候非常忙，不過也有無聊的時候。我做的就是普通的工作：洗碗，上菜，基本上就是這種工作。不是什么重要的工作。我很喜歡這份工作，不過我也在找其他的工作機會。我想我應(yīng)該找辦公室工作。
 
A: Oh, a desk job!
 
哦，辦公室工作！
 
B: What about you?
 
你呢？
 
A: I don't know. Maybe I could work at a ... maybe a clothing store.
 
我也不清楚。我可能會在服裝店工作。
 
B: Oh, really!
 
哦，真的嗎？
 
A: I do enjoy fashion, and I need to update my wardrobe, so a little discount would be nice.
 
我非常喜歡時尚，而且我要升級我的衣櫥，所以要是有折扣就好了。
 
B: I hear that there's a opening at Bloomingdale's.
 
我聽說布魯明戴爾百貨店有空缺。
 
A: Oh, awesome!
 
哦，太棒了！
 
B: You should give it a try.
 
你應(yīng)該試試。
 
A: Maybe. But then again I'm not a very ... I'm not really a people person, though.
 
也許吧。不過我并不是一個擅長交際的人。
 
B: A people person! What do you mean?
 
擅長交際！你是什么意思？
 
A: I can't just go up to new people and start talking to them. It's a little difficult for me.
 
我不太會去和陌生人說話。這對我來說有點兒難。
 
B: Well, on my point of view, I think that's a little ... sometimes I think that's sort of a little annoying. One time like this lady at the market, she just started talking me, "Oh, this looks good on you!" OK, I don't need that. You know.
 
在我看來，我認為這有些……這種做法有些煩人。有一次在市場，一個女售貨員過來跟我說，“哦，你穿這個很漂亮！”我并不需要這種奉承。
 
A: Yes, they use some very strong mind tricks to get you to buy things.
 
對，他們會用很強的心理把戲讓你買東西。
 
B: Yeah. Well, you're good with mind tricks aren't you?
 
對。你很擅長心理把戲，不是嗎？
 
A: I'm good at being played by mind tricks, but now good at doing mind tricks.
 
我擅長被別人的心理把戲迷惑，但是不擅長對別人用心理把戲。
 
B: Aye! Well, I guess you still have nine months left.
 
啊！我想你還有九個月的時間。
 
A: Yeah.
 
對。
