Lily: Ann, do you think there are many single people above the normal matrimonial age nowadays?

安，你说现在大龄青年多不多?

Ann: Of course yes, most of them pay more attention to work than marriage.

当然多，他们大多数是因为工作而忘却了婚姻。

Lily: I think so. I have heard the unmarried women above the normal age for marriage have met some problems in finding job recently.

是啊，听说最近大龄女在找工作方面好像遇到了些问题。

Ann: What problems?

哦，什么问题?

Lily: In interviewing, when they are asked whether they are married or not, they tell the interviewer the fact that they haven’t married or haven’t had a boyfriend.

在面试的时候，当被问到结婚没，她们如实告知面试官还没结婚，或者没男朋友。

Ann: It is normal. Any problems?

这很正常啊。有问题吗?

Lily: But the interviewers don’t think so,they discredit the unmarried women above the normal age have mentality defects, although they are turly bright people.

但是面试官却认为年龄这么大了还没结婚也没男朋友，怀疑她们有心理缺陷，尽管她们确实是人才。

Ann: So they lose the opportunities for this reason?

所以她们失去了工作机会?

Lily: Yeah,just for this.

是的。就因为这个。

Ann: It is unfair for them.

这太不公平了吧。
