A=Applicant I=Interviewer

I: Have you ever worked as a tour guide?
你当过导游吗?

A: I have a little experience. I guided a few foreign tourists around Beijing last year as a part-time job. I showed them to the Great Wall, the Imperial¹ Palace, and the Summer Palace.
我有一点经验。去年我带领一些外国旅客在北京观光，那是份兼职工作。我带领他们去了长城、故宫和颐和园。

I: Then you may know that it ishard work.
那你可能知道这是份辛苦的工作。

A: Yes, I know. A friend of mine is a guide. He talked with me about his work, but I don't mind working hard.
是的，我知道。我有一个朋友是导游。他跟我谈过他的工作，但我不介意工作辛苦。

I: Have you applied² with any other companies?
你向其它公司申请过吗？

A: No, this is my first.
没有，这是第一次。

I: Is there anything you want to ask about?
你有什么事情想问吗?

A: I'd like to be an overseas tour guide someday. Would there ever be any chance of that?
我希望有天能做国际导游。将来我会有这样的机会吗？

I: Certainly. There will be a good chance of that if you work for this company. Not right away, of course, but in a few years, after you learn more about our business, you may go overseas with a tour group. Any questions?
当然有。如果你在这家公司工作，就会有好机会。当然不是马上就有，但是往后几年，在你学到更多本公司的业务后，你就可以带团去国外了。还有什么问题吗?

A: Yes. When can I get the decision? I hope you can give me a definite answer as soon as possible. If I am turned down, I will have to secure³ a position elsewhere⁴.
哦，我何时能知道你们的决定呢？我希望您能尽快给我一个明确的答复。如果我被拒绝了，我还得去别的地方找工作。

I: All right, then. We will get in touch with you within a week. Thank you for coming today, Mr. Sun.
好,我在一周之内会与你联络。谢谢你过来，孙先生。

A: Thank you. Good-bye.
谢谢你。再见。
