1--You look at bit dull today. What's up?

2--Well, my mum lost her job yesterday.

1--I'm sorry to hear that. Well,l heard that registered urban unem-ployment rate reached 4 percent this year,with more than half be-ing women.

2--The supply outstrips the demand in the job market and women are in a disadvantageous position as a whole.

1--Yeah,it's true. What is she going to do?

2--Well,she is thinking of doing some household cleaning or baby-sitting in the community.

1--That's not bad. It could be a short-term altemative. Your mum can look for another one when the market improves. Things will work out eventually.

2--Thank you.I just hope  she won't feel  pressed.

譯文：

1--你今天看起來不那么高興，怎么了？

2--嗯，我媽昨天把工作給丟了。

1--真抱歉，我該問的。嗯，我聽說今年城鎮(zhèn)居民的失業(yè)率達到4%，而其中一半以上都是女的。  

2--人才市場供大于求，女性總的來說還是處于劣勢。

1--確實是那樣。有什么辦法嗎？

2--嗯，我媽打算去小區(qū)里給人打掃衛(wèi)生或看孩子什么的。

1--那也不錯。先暫時找個工作干著。等形勢好轉(zhuǎn)了再找個好的。事情最終都會解決的。

2--謝謝了。我只希望她能心情好點兒。
