Job Hunting

Woo hoo! This just might be the start of the rest of my life!

呜呼！这可能是我余生的开始！

What happened?

怎么了？

I’m in the market for a job! I went on a website with hundreds of job listings in the area and browsed through them until I got the names of a few employers I would like to work for. I have the resume I wrote for English class last month and a cover letter will be a piece of cake to write. I’ve even done my research and found the names of the managers so I can address the letters personally. And you know I can be charming in interviews. Goodbye my penniless days! Hello salary and a career!

我正在找工作！我去了一个网站，上面有几百个本地的职位列表，我浏览了一遍，找到了几个我想为之工作的雇主名字。我上个月为英语课写的简历还在，写求职信是小菜一碟。我还做了功课，找到了经理的名字，这样我就可以写私人信件了。而且你知道我在面试中可以很有魅力。再见，我的穷光蛋日子！你好，薪水和事业！

Ben, we’re fifteen. What kind of job are you looking for?

本，我们才十五岁。你想找什么样的工作？

Oh, just for a position as a gas station attendant. You know, starting at a simple lowly job, just like all the greats before they made it big in the world.

哦，就做个加油站服务员。你知道，从简单低微的工作开始，就像所有那些在世界上成功之前的大人物一样。

Uh-huh.

嗯哼。

But I’m just in it for the money, right? How else am I going to be able to afford to keep taking Angela to the movies? Besides, I love the smell of gasoline, don’t you?

但我只是为了钱，对吧？不然我怎么能负担得起继续带安吉拉去看电影呢？而且，我喜欢汽油味，你不喜欢吗？
