地道美语听力播客609:展示技能

Elaine: Welcome to your first day as an intern in our company office. Let me show you around. This is the main office area with a cubicle for each employee. Are you pretty good with computers?

伊莱恩:欢迎你作为我们公司的实习生第一天来上班，我带你参观一下，这是主要的办公地点，每一个人有一个小隔间，你很擅长计算机吗?

Tony: Actually, my computer knowledge is pretty basic. The only thing I'm adept at is videogames. I'm not up to snuff on actually doing work on one.

托尼：说实话，我的计算机知识很基础。我唯一擅长的就是电子游戏，我还没有达到可以真正工作的水平。

Elaine: Okay, well you should be proficient by the end of your internship. Over there is where we keep the photocopier and fax machine. Have you used them before?

伊莱恩:好吧，等你实习期结束你就会很熟练了。那边是我们存放复印机和传真机的地方，你以前用过这些吗?

Tony: I'm an expert on the copier. I can use it with one hand tied behind my back. I'm particularly good at photocopying body parts.

托尼：复印机我擅长，我可以只用一只手复印，我特别擅长复印人体部位。

Elaine: Uh, great.

伊莱恩:额，很好。

Tony: But the fax...I've only used one once and I never quite mastered it.

托尼：但是传真机我只用过一次，并不精通。

Elaine: I'm sure you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. And this is the break room. You have your standard refrigerator and vending machines.

伊莱恩:我相信你会很快进入状态的，这里是休息室，你可以用这里的标准冰箱，和自动售货机。

Tony: Hey, I'm really good with vending machines. That's one machine I know inside and out.

托尼：嘿，我很会用自动售货机的，这个机器的里里外外我都懂。

Elaine: How could I have guessed that the one thing you really excel at is working the vending machine?

伊莱恩:我就知道你最擅长自动售货机，想知道我怎样猜到的吗?
