Getting a job is a really important part of your life, so I thought it'd be a good idea to show what that process looks like for a lot of new workers.
找份工作是你人生中非常重要的一部分，所以我覺得展示社會新鮮人那過程長什麼樣子會是個好主意。
Oh, this place looks pretty good. I guess I'll go check it out.
噢，這地方看起來挺不錯的。我想我會去看一下。
Hello. Uh, I would like a job, please.
嗨。呃，我想要一份工作，麻煩了。
Uh, yeah, you actually need five years' experience for this position.
呃，嗯，你事實上需要有五年的經驗來取得這職位。
But it says entry-level position on the advertisement.
但廣告上說這是入門級的工作耶。
That's really only there so we don't have to pay you as much.
那真的只是在那好讓我們不用付你這麼多薪水而已。
Oh, okay, that—that makes sense.
噢，好吧，那－－那說得通。
I mean, I probably couldn't work here forever, but I guess I'll give it a go.
我的意思是，我也許無法永遠在這裡工作，但我猜我會試一試。
Hello. Uh...I would like a job, please.
嗨。呃...我想要一份工作，麻煩了。
Uh, you're—you're actually overqualified for this position, sir.
呃，你－－你做這工作其實太大材小用了，先生。

Hello. Uh...I would like a job, please.

Uh, yeah...I'm afraid we've had over 100 applications from people far more qualified than you.
呃，嗯...恐怕我們已經有超過 100 份比你更勝任的人的申請表了。
How can they be more qualified? It says entry-level position on the advertisement.
他們怎麼能更勝任？廣告上說它是入門級的職位耶。
They have other more redeeming qualities.
他們有其它更多可取之處。
Oh, okay, that—that makes sense.

Well, I guess I'd better get myself more qualified.
這個嘛，我猜我最好讓自己更有資格。
Hello. Uh, I would like a degree, please.
嗨。呃，我想要一個學位，麻煩了。
Uh, all right, for sure. Uh...I'll sign you up for the next four or five years, and, just so you know, each year's gonna be around 10,000 dollars, plus your textbooks.
呃，好的，當然。呃...我會替你註冊接下來的四五年，然後，告知你一下，每年花費大約在一萬美元左右，加上你的教科書。
Wait. How am I supposed to pay for that?
等等。我要怎麼付那錢啊？
Uh...I don't know. Get a job?
呃...我不知道耶。找份工作嗎？
