地道美语听力练习:推荐一份工作

Harry: I’ve put in a good word for you with my boss. He said to stop by the store at 4:00 today and he’ll interview you for the job.
哈利：我在我老板面前为你说尽了好话。他说今天四点顺便来我的商店看看，也算是对你进行一次面试。

Judy: Okay, I think I can make it around 4:00.
朱迪：好的，我想我在四点左右会有时间的。

Harry: Not around 4:00. You need to be there at 4:00 sharp, got that? I’m sticking my neck out for you by recommending you for this job, so don’t let me down.
哈利：不是四点左右，是四点整，明白了吗？为了向老板推荐你做这份工作，我可是磨破了嘴皮，所以你不要让我失望。

Judy: All right, I’ll be there. It’s not like it’s my idea to get a job at your store. I didn’t ask you to put your reputation on the line. I don’t think that job is a good fit for me.
朱迪：好吧，四点整的时候我会在那里。我的想法原本是在你的商店里工作。我可没想让你欠别人的人情。我认为这项工作对我来说不是个好的选择。

Harry: You can’t afford to be choosy. You need a job and you need it right now.
哈利：你没资格挑三拣四的。你需要一份工作，现在就需要。

Judy: I’m not in a hurry. I want to find a job that really suits my talents.
朱迪：我并不着急。我想找一份真正适合我才华的工作。

Harry: I’m sick of you sleeping on my couch and mooching off me. By the time you find a job that suits your talents, I’ll be in a nursing home – or an insane asylum!
哈利：我厌烦了你睡在我家还向我要钱花。等你找到适合自己才华的工作的时候，我都被你折腾得住进疗养院或疯人院了！
