Ⅳ.对话篇

Gordon: My old friend, how's business?

戈登：老朋友，生意进展得如何了？

Molly: Things couldn't be better. I had a productive interview yesterday and I am sure they are going to give me the job.

莫莉：情况可能会好一些。我昨天进行了一个面试，我肯定他们会聘我。

Gordon: You always have a positive attitude. That is great. I wish I could find a job.

戈登：你总是乐观地对待事物，这样很好。我希望我也能找到一份工作。

Molly: Hang in there. And try to keep a positive attitude. Always look on the bright side of life.

莫莉：等等看，保持积极乐观的态度。要始终找到生活中好的一面。

Gordon: I don't have a job, but I do have a lot of free time to find new girl friends.

戈登：我现在没有工作，可是我有很多空闲时间找到一些女朋友。

Molly: Or you can use your free time more productively by studying.

莫莉：或者你也可以更积极地利用你现有的空闲时间，做点有意义的事，学习进修。

Gordon: I guess getting a job is good motivation.

戈登：我猜找一份工作是个激动人心的动力。

Molly: Plus, girls like guys who have jobs a little better. You need money to buy flowers, right?

莫莉：而且，女孩子更喜欢男孩子有工作。你需要钱来买花，是吧？

Gordon: I see your point. I guess it does pay to have a positive attitude.

戈登：我明白了。我猜要想保持乐观的态度还得花代价。

Molly: That's right, if you keep smiling and working hard, you will achieve all your goals.

莫莉：对了，如果你努力工作而且笑容满面的话，你就会实现你所有的目标。

Gordon: Even my secret goal of getting you to become my wife?

戈登：即使是我那秘密的目标－－娶你为妻？

Molly: No way. I guess there are some things that can't be changed by positive attitudes, but most other things can!

莫莉：做梦去吧，你。我想有些事情光靠积极乐观的态度是无法改变的，但是大多数的事情可以。
