上了一天的班，为什么回家还会用功学英语
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: can we have dinner together?
 
一起吃饭可以吗?
 
B: sorry, I'll have to rush to my English class after work.
 
对不起,下班了我得赶紧去上英语课.
 
A: Oh, then how about tomorrow?
 
好吧,那明天怎么样?
 
B: I'm terribly sorry that my classed are scheduled from Monday to Saturday.
 
实在是对不起,我的课从周一一直排到周五.
 
A: that's all right. We can do it Sunday. But why do you study English so hard? You must be tired after a whole day's work. Why not simply take a break instead?
 
没关系,可以等周日吗.你学英语怎么这么用功啊?上了一天的班,肯定挺累的,为什么不回家休息呢?
 
B: well, my work demands prompt me to learn English. Our company is planning to start a branch in Australia. I must prepare in advance since one day I may have to use English in my daily work.
 
是这样的,我的公司要求我去学英语.公司正计划在澳大利亚开一家分公司,我必须提前准备,因为我可能会在日常工作中用到英语.
 
A: oh, I see. You take the initiative to improve your English competency, and you have to pay the check, right?
 
哦,我明白了.你自己主动去学英语,提高英语水平,然后自己买单,是这样吗?
 
B: absolutely. I have to do this, or someday I may lose the chance to earn my basic salary. Nowdays, when our company is recruting new employees, their English level is listed as an important criterion.
 
没错,我必须这样做,不然有一天我可能连基本工资都拿不到了.现在公司招人的时候把英语水平作为一个很重要的录用标准。
 
A: yeah, many companies are doing the same thing. They believe the lack of English-speaking personnel may hold back their plans of going global.
 
是啊,很多公司都是这样的.他们认为如果少了英语人才,可能会阻碍公司国际化的进程.
