實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話(huà)：Future Plans for Alex 亞歷克斯的未來(lái)計(jì)劃

Maria: So Alex, now we talked about what I would like to do in the future, what about you? Career wise, let's start with that.

瑪麗亞：亞歷克斯，我們談過(guò)了我未來(lái)想做的事，你呢?先從事業(yè)開(kāi)始吧。

Alex: I actually have absolutely no idea what I want to do as a career. I know I want to do something interesting and I want to do something fun. I've certainly, I think that I as a person am most suited to a service style industry or a hospitality something like that where I would be, I've had sort of dalliances or ideas about cafes, cafe chains, certainly I'd always wanted to I think maybe rival Starbucks would be lovely. I looked at restaurants. Restaurants didn't really appeal to me because you've got weird hours and when everyone is having fun you're not. What else? For me it's, I just like to be able to have something that was constantly enjoyable. I think, you know, what you said, dynamic you know.

亞歷克斯：實(shí)際上我對(duì)從事什么職業(yè)完全沒(méi)有想法。我知道我想做有趣有意思的工作。我認(rèn)為最適合我的工作是服務(wù)業(yè)或那種接待工作，我喜歡咖啡和連鎖咖啡廳，我在這些方面也有自己的想法，我一直希望我能成為星巴克的對(duì)手，要是能這樣就太好了。至于那些餐廳，它們并不是很吸引我，因?yàn)橐獡?dān)心營(yíng)業(yè)時(shí)間，還要擔(dān)心是不是所有人都享受了樂(lè)趣。還有什么?對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，我喜歡做那些能一直很享受的工作。就是要有那種活力。

Maria: Exactly.

瑪麗亞：沒(méi)錯(cuò)。

Alex: You can have something that will be enjoyable and you can change it up every day and so on and so forth but as to what I specifically would do, I can't put a name to it. I'm not the only one in my family. My father has a CV that's four, sorry ten pages long. It's ten pages long. He's changed jobs I think twenty six times, twenty seven now, and he's just so I don't know. For me I'd like to travel but I'd certainly want to have a home base. I can't go too far away from home.亞

歷克斯：你可以做有意思的事情，每天要做些改變，等等，不過(guò)至于我具體想做什么，目前我還說(shuō)不出來(lái)。我家里不是只有我這樣。我爸爸的簡(jiǎn)歷有4……抱歉，有10頁(yè)紙那么多。我爸爸的簡(jiǎn)歷有10頁(yè)。我想他大概換了26次工作，現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該是27次了，我也不清楚。我喜歡旅游，不過(guò)我希望能有個(gè)家。我不能離家太遠(yuǎn)。

Maria: When you say home, would it be your present home like Australia or would you...?

瑪麗亞：你說(shuō)的家是指澳大利亞的家還是……

Alex: Yeah, I've got to say I'm an Aussie, true blue Aussie. I've got a love of the country. It's my home. I have spent time overseas. I've lived a year and a half in Canada, a year and a half in Australia, a year and a half in Asia sorry it's not a year and a half in Australia, a year and a half in America, so I've done a couple of other things and I've always come back and been why did I leave? What caused me to leave? So, yeah, I'm torn between doing things that are altruistic and selfish. Do I want to just work for me and get the money, the moolah, the cash, the green, or do I want to do something a bit more for everyone else and I don't know it's difficult to decide. How do I do both?

亞歷克斯：我要說(shuō)我是澳大利亞人，我是忠誠(chéng)的澳大利亞人。我非常喜歡澳大利亞。那里是我的家。我也在外國(guó)呆過(guò)。我在加拿大生活了一年半，在澳大利亞生活了一年半，在亞洲住了一年半，抱歉，不是在澳大利亞生活了一年半，是在美國(guó)生活了一年半，我做過(guò)很多事情，不過(guò)最終我還是會(huì)回到澳大利亞，那我為什么離開(kāi)?讓我離開(kāi)的原因是什么?在做事方面，我在無(wú)私和自私之間左右為難。我是想做那種只要自己能得到錢(qián)的事情還是那種為其他人考慮的事情，我不知道要如何決定，這非常難。我怎么能做到兩全其美?

Maria: So the future is open?

瑪麗亞：所以你的未來(lái)是未知的?

Alex: It is open isn't it?

亞歷克斯：是未知的，不是嗎?
