对话文本
T: You'll soon graduate from your university. Do you have any plans for the future?
J: I'm planning to go to graduate school, but I also want to find a job. Otherwise, I'll have nowhere to go if I fail the entrance exam.
T: Do you have a clear career path to follow?
J: career path? I'm not sure.
T: what kind of job do you want after graduation?
J: I want to become a professor, a lawyer, an editor, a civil servant...
T: wait! You can't do so many things at the same time. What exactly do you want to do?
J: I don't know. Do you have any advice for me?
T: yeah,you should first decide what kind of career you really want, plan your career path, and then try your best to achieve your goal.
J: I think perhaps I need to buy a few years while I figure out about my career.
T: no, you can't waste your time wandering around. If you want a job that requires a higher degree or diploma, you should focus on your graduate school extrance exam;if you want a job that needs working experience, you should start job hunting and consider further studies at a later time.
J: thank you so much for your advice. I'll think it over.
参考翻译
你就快大学毕业了.对未来有什么打算吗?
我想读研究生,还想找工作,不然如果没考上就没出路了.
你想好职业发展道路了吗?
职业发展道路?不太清楚.
毕业后你想做什么样的工作?
我想做教授,律师,编辑,公务员...
停停停!你不能同时做那么多份工作的.你到底想从事怎样的职业?
我不知道.能提些建议吗?
好,你应该先决定到底要从事怎样的职业,规划职业道路,然后尽力去实现目标.
我想我可能需要几年时间来确定职业方向.
不行,你不能把时间稀里糊涂地浪费了.如果你想做的工作需要高学历高文凭,你就应该好好准备研究生入学考试;如果你想做的工作需要工作经验,你就应该开始找工作了,继续深造的事可以晚点再考虑.
谢谢你的建议.我会好好考虑的.
