对话文本


C: how's your job searching going?

S: I've landed a job in a foreign company's Shanghai branch, but the pay is lower than I expected.

C: no surprise. The subject you studied abroad is not that hot here in China.

S: yeah, after coming back, I've found I may have to go through a period of unemployment.

C: that's normal; some of the overseas returnees couldn't find a nice job these years.

S: there are so many overseas returnees in the domestic job market now that the average salary has dropped a lot.

C: that's true, and the job market holds a more reasoanble attitude towards this group of people.

S: yeah,actually, the quality if an overseas education is not as good as we imagined.

C: employers have noticed this. That's why they have changed their attitude towards returned overseas students.

S: yeah, I have the same feeling. I've talked with many returnees; some of them can not even speak foreign languages fluently.

C: that's right. Employers will choose candidates with real talents and potentials, and they no longer care too much about whether you have a domestic or overseas diploma.

参考翻译


你工作找得怎么样了?
我到一家外企的上海分公司上班了,但是薪酬没有我期待的高.
这不奇怪,你在国外学的专业现在在国内已经不那么火了.
是啊,回国之后,我发现我们这些海归可能得当一段时间的”海待”.
很正常,现在有些海归确实找不到理想的工作.
国内就业市场上海归太多了,平均工资都降下来了.
没错,而且市场上对海归一族的态度也更理性了.
是啊,实际上国外教育的质量并没有我们想象的那么好.
雇主也注意到这点了,所以他们才改变对海归的印象.
恩,我自己也有这种感觉.我和一些回国的留学生交流过,游戏人甚至都不能讲一口流利的外语.
对啊.雇主会选择真正具有能力和潜质的人,而不会那么在意你拿的到底是国内文凭还是国外文凭.
