外企面试英语对话:关于英语水平

A: Are you learning English for any particular reason?

你学英语有没有什么特别的原因？

B: Yes. At home in China I work in advertising and many of the words we use are English, so I want to understand English better because that will help my job.

有。在中国我是做广告的，有很多情况下要用到英语，所以我想提高英语水平，把工作做得更好。

A: Did you learn English at home in China before you came to study English here?

你来这里之前在中国学过英语吗？

B: Sure. When I was a student in China I studied English for six years. But that was a long time ago and in the meantime I forgot all my grammar. So before I came to America I went to English classes for two hours each week for six months. Now I study 20 hours each week and sometimes I have an extra lesson.

学过。我在中国上学的时候学了6年英语。但那是很久以前的事了，语法也早就全忘光了。在来美国之前我每周去上两个小时的英语课，一共上了半年。现在我每周学20个小时的英语，有时候还会更多。
