Brian: joke, just a joke, don't want to say bad things about him and for the time being, u know, my boss is good and kind , it's a difficulty to find somewhere else , I mean , the job market is a slump too. (开个玩笑而已,我不想说人家不好,而且我老板人还可以,目前市场也不是很景气,很难找到一个更合适的地方)
Nikky: worse here in America.
Brian: US is playing a leading role in the world, if the American economy is not good, the world economy will not be good , but hope that in the coming future China can have the same position in the globe.(美国在全球经济中是领导地位,如果美国经济不好的话,整个世界的经济也不会太好,希望有一天中国也能在世界上有如此的地位)
Nikky: we have a lot of people jobless this year.(今年很多人失业)
Brian: really, u know, Nikky, in Shanghai, the same, and especially for the graduates who graduate this year, tough for them.(你知道,在上海情况也是一样,尤其是今年的毕业生,很难找工作)
here we can see:
Job Applicant: "I'm looking for a job as a consultant."
Employer: "I'm sorry, we already have enough consultants."
Applicant: "That's ok, with my experience, I can be an advisor."
Employer: "More than we can use already."
Applicant: As he is getting desperate, "I'm not proud, I can do paperwork, I'll be a clerk, If you have too many, I'll start as a janitor."
Employer: "It just doesn't seem that we have any openings for a person with your qualifications."
Nikky: yes, 1 out of 5 or 10 can get a new job.(5个人争1份工作,或者10个人争取一份工作)
Brian: right, that's why u know, this year, the number of students who take the graduate entrance exam reaches the highest level in history(是呀,这也是为什么今年中国毕业生参加研究生入学考试的人数达到了历史最高水平的原因)
Nikky: why they take the exam so drastically?(为什么他们这么热衷于考试?)
Brian: higher degree, higher pay, at least in China, most people think so, this is just a bull-shit in Chinese education system(学历高,收入也高,至少现在中国很多人是这么认为的,这是中国教育体制的一个混帐之处)
Nikky: exam oriented.(考试为导向)
Brian: yes, we are not the application oriented.(是的,我们这不是以应用为导向的)
Nikky: we can see the exams everywhere, Brian, what your time there?(到处都有考试,Brian,你那边几点了?)
Brian: every time u want to go to sleep u would ask me about the time(每次你要睡觉的时候你就会问我时间)
