Tony：

Hi, Maggie. Have you made up your mind?

你好，麥琪。你拿定主意了嗎?

Maggie：

What?

你指的是什么啊?

Tony：

I mean, have you decided to study abroad or to find a job after graduation?

我的意思是，你決定畢業(yè)后出國(guó)深造還是找工作了嗎?

Maggie：

I haven’t made my decision yet. It’s kind of a hard decision.

我還沒做決定呢。真的很難做出抉擇。

Tony：

Why’s that? Just a couple of days ago, you were telling me how much you wanted to go overseas to study.

怎么會(huì)呢?兩三天前你還在說你是多么想出國(guó)深造呢。

Maggie：

Yes, but a vacancy just opened up in the English Department.

是啊，但是英語系正好有個(gè)職位空缺。

Tony：

So?

所以呢?

Maggie：

They offered it to me. So now I don’t know what to do.

他們把這個(gè)職位給了我。所以我現(xiàn)在不知道該怎么辦了。

Tony：

What a great opportunity! I see what you mean though, tough choice.

多好的機(jī)會(huì)啊!我明白你的意思了，難做取舍啊。

Maggie：

I’ve been preparing and studying to go abroad. I’ve spent a lot of time and energy, and I hate to see it all go to waste??.

我一直在準(zhǔn)備出國(guó)留學(xué)。我在這上面花費(fèi)了大量的時(shí)間和精力，我可不希望看到這一切努力都白費(fèi)了。

Tony：

Don’t think about it too much. The job sounds like an excellent opportunity. You should grab it while you have the chance.

不要想得太多。這份工作確實(shí)是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的機(jī)會(huì)。你應(yīng)該在機(jī)會(huì)來臨的時(shí)候抓住它。

Maggie：

I’d like to, but I still feel like I should think about it some more. But thanks for your input?

我也想，不過我還是覺得需要再好好考慮一下。但還是要謝謝你的真知灼見。
