4.18 Curious 好奇
W: I've been told that you are a very successful businessman abroad. I wonder how you managed to achieve such success?
M: Oh, through a lot of hard work, of course.
W: I suppose that in a foreign country it was difficult at first, wasn't it?
M: Surely it was, especially when you only knew few people and little English.
W: You mean you didn’t know much English then?
M: Right. I only knew a few English sentences.
W: That's incredible. Could you tell me what you did to make a start?
M: First, I worked as a servant.
W: Really? I wish you could tell me more about your experience.
M: I'd like to, but I must run to a meeting.

W:我听说您在海外是一位非常成功的商人,我想知道您是怎么获得这样的成功的。
M:哦,当然是通过大量艰辛的工作了。
W:我觉得在一个陌生的国家创业初期肯定很难,对吧?
M:那是肯定的,尤其是当你认识的人很少,并且对英文几乎一窍不通的时候。
W:您的意思是您当时不懂多少英语?
M:是的…我只知道几个英文句子。
W:真是不可思议!您能告诉我你是怎么起家的吗?
M:最初我的工作是当一名佣人。
W:真的?我希望你能告诉我更多关于你的经历。
M:我很乐意,但是我必须要赶去参加一个会议。
