Cindy: So... did you send your resume to all of those companies you found on the Web site?
Cindy：那...你有寄你的履歷去給那些你在網站上找到的公司嗎？
Dan: I sent about ten. Like I said before, I'm just curious about what jobs are out there. I'll be more serious about looking for a new job after I receive my year-end bonus!
Dan：我寄了大概十封。就像我之前說的，我只是好奇外面世界有哪些工作。我會在我拿到年終獎金之後，更積極找新工作的！

Dan: My wife told me the same thing last night.
Dan：我老婆昨天晚上也跟我說一樣的話。
Cindy: Well, you know what they say. All great minds think alike!
Cindy：嗯，你知道的。俗話說：英雌所見略同！
Dan: Whatever!!!! Anyway, I'll just wait and see if I get any responses from the ten resumes that I've already sent, and then decide what to do from there.
Dan：不管了！無論如何，我就等著瞧，看看我會不會從我已經寄的那十封履歷中得到任何回應。然後再從中做決定。
Cindy: It seems like you have everything planned. Oh, by the way. Did you see the job posted on the bulletin board in the lobby? There's an opportunity to transfer to the office in Shanghai.
Cindy：看來你都把一切計劃好了。喔，對了。你有看到大廳佈告欄上刊登的工作嗎？有一個轉調到上海公司的機會喔。
Dan: No, I didn't see it. I'll take a look at it on my way out the office.
Dan：沒有，我沒看見。我出辦公室的時候，會去看一下。
Cindy: It's a sales position selling the same products.
Cindy：那是一個賣同樣產品的銷售人員職缺。
Dan: Oh, forget about it then! Why don't you apply for it?
Dan：喔，別提了！你怎麼不去申請看看？
Cindy: Because I'm happy with my job here. I don't find my work boring at all.
Cindy：因為我對我這裡的工作很滿意啊。我一點都不覺得我的工作無聊。
Dan: Yeah, but wait until you've worked here for ten years like me!!!!!
Dan：是阿，就等你像我一樣在這邊工作超過十年再說吧！
