地道美語聽力播客609:展示技能

Elaine: Welcome to your first day as an intern in our company office. Let me show you around. This is the main office area with a cubicle for each employee. Are you pretty good with computers?

伊萊恩:歡迎你作為我們公司的實習生第一天來上班，我?guī)銋⒂^一下，這是主要的辦公地點，每一個人有一個小隔間，你很擅長計算機嗎?

Tony: Actually, my computer knowledge is pretty basic. The only thing I'm adept at is videogames. I'm not up to snuff on actually doing work on one.

托尼：說實話，我的計算機知識很基礎。我唯一擅長的就是電子游戲，我還沒有達到可以真正工作的水平。

Elaine: Okay, well you should be proficient by the end of your internship. Over there is where we keep the photocopier and fax machine. Have you used them before?

伊萊恩:好吧，等你實習期結(jié)束你就會很熟練了。那邊是我們存放復印機和傳真機的地方，你以前用過這些嗎?

Tony: I'm an expert on the copier. I can use it with one hand tied behind my back. I'm particularly good at photocopying body parts.

托尼：復印機我擅長，我可以只用一只手復印，我特別擅長復印人體部位。

Elaine: Uh, great.

伊萊恩:額，很好。

Tony: But the fax...I've only used one once and I never quite mastered it.

托尼：但是傳真機我只用過一次，并不精通。

Elaine: I'm sure you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. And this is the break room. You have your standard refrigerator and vending machines.

伊萊恩:我相信你會很快進入狀態(tài)的，這里是休息室，你可以用這里的標準冰箱，和自動售貨機。

Tony: Hey, I'm really good with vending machines. That's one machine I know inside and out.

托尼：嘿，我很會用自動售貨機的，這個機器的里里外外我都懂。

Elaine: How could I have guessed that the one thing you really excel at is working the vending machine?

伊萊恩:我就知道你最擅長自動售貨機，想知道我怎樣猜到的嗎?
