你在哪里工作，需要很强的社交能力吗

今天的这段对话，在讨论工作与社交，
 
你在哪里工作，需要社交能力吗
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: Where are you working these days?
 
你最近在哪里工作？
 
B: I'm working at the restaurant around the station.
 
我现在在地铁站附近的一家餐厅工作。
 
A: What's it like working in a restaurant?
 
在餐厅工作怎么样？
 
B: Well, it's ... busy times are busy, but boring sometimes. It's just usual work: washing dishes, serving and then that it's pretty much. Not a big deal job. I really like it, but at the same time I'm looking for more. I think I should look for a desk job or something.
 
忙的时候非常忙，不过也有无聊的时候。我做的就是普通的工作：洗碗，上菜，基本上就是这种工作。不是什么重要的工作。我很喜欢这份工作，不过我也在找其他的工作机会。我想我应该找办公室工作。
 
A: Oh, a desk job!
 
哦，办公室工作！
 
B: What about you?
 
你呢？
 
A: I don't know. Maybe I could work at a ... maybe a clothing store.
 
我也不清楚。我可能会在服装店工作。
 
B: Oh, really!
 
哦，真的吗？
 
A: I do enjoy fashion, and I need to update my wardrobe, so a little discount would be nice.
 
我非常喜欢时尚，而且我要升级我的衣橱，所以要是有折扣就好了。
 
B: I hear that there's a opening at Bloomingdale's.
 
我听说布鲁明戴尔百货店有空缺。
 
A: Oh, awesome!
 
哦，太棒了！
 
B: You should give it a try.
 
你应该试试。
 
A: Maybe. But then again I'm not a very ... I'm not really a people person, though.
 
也许吧。不过我并不是一个擅长交际的人。
 
B: A people person! What do you mean?
 
擅长交际！你是什么意思？
 
A: I can't just go up to new people and start talking to them. It's a little difficult for me.
 
我不太会去和陌生人说话。这对我来说有点儿难。
 
B: Well, on my point of view, I think that's a little ... sometimes I think that's sort of a little annoying. One time like this lady at the market, she just started talking me, "Oh, this looks good on you!" OK, I don't need that. You know.
 
在我看来，我认为这有些……这种做法有些烦人。有一次在市场，一个女售货员过来跟我说，“哦，你穿这个很漂亮！”我并不需要这种奉承。
 
A: Yes, they use some very strong mind tricks to get you to buy things.
 
对，他们会用很强的心理把戏让你买东西。
 
B: Yeah. Well, you're good with mind tricks aren't you?
 
对。你很擅长心理把戏，不是吗？
 
A: I'm good at being played by mind tricks, but now good at doing mind tricks.
 
我擅长被别人的心理把戏迷惑，但是不擅长对别人用心理把戏。
 
B: Aye! Well, I guess you still have nine months left.
 
啊！我想你还有九个月的时间。
 
A: Yeah.
 
对。
