第10課：無趣的?- 8

【迷你小對話1】

A: You never talk about work anymore.
B: Well, now that you are an international journalist, my job as a secretary seems too humdrum to mention.

A: 你怎么不再談你的工作了？
B: 你現(xiàn)在是國際新聞記者了，我那單調(diào)乏味的秘書工作還有什么好談的。

【迷你小對話2】

A: Can you tell me, Mr. Gates, what you do on an average day?
B: Well, I’ll be happy to tell you. But compared to most famous people, it’s pretty prosaic. I just get up, eat breakfast, go to work, come home, and go to bed.

A: Gates先生，能告訴我您平時都做些什么嗎？
B: 我當(dāng)然愿意告訴你了。不過和大多數(shù)名人相比，我的生活平淡無奇——起床、吃早飯、上班、回家，然后睡覺。
