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?
伊莱恩:欢迎到我们公司第一天实习。我带你四处转转吧。这边是主办公区,每个员工都有个隔间。你擅长使用电脑吗?

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:说实话,我的电脑知识只是初级水平。我唯一熟练的就是视频游戏。正式工作的话,我还不到正式员工的水平。

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?
伊莱恩:好吧,等你实习结束就会很精通了。这里我们用来存放打印机和传真机。你之前用过吗?

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:我在打印方面是专家。我能一只手打印。我擅长复印身体部分。

Elaine:Uh, great.
伊莱恩:哦,很好。

Tony:But the fax...I've only used one once and I never quite mastered it.
托尼:至于传真......我只用过一次,目前掌握得不太好。

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.
伊莱恩:我相信你会很快掌握其中的诀窍。这边是休息室。你可以用这里的标准冰箱还有自动售货机。

Tony:Hey, I'm really good with vending machines. That's one machine I know inside and out.
托尼:嘿,我很会使用自动售货机。这个机器从里到外我都很了解。

Elaine:How could I have guessed that the one thing you really excel at is working the vending machine?
伊莱恩:就知道你最擅长的事情是操作自动售货机,不知道我是怎么猜到的?
