1--Woo hoo! This just might be the start of the rest of my life!
2--What happened?
1--I’m in the market for a job! I went on a website with hundreds of job listings in the area and browsed through them until I got the names of a few employers I would like to work for. I have the resume I wrote for English class last month and a cover letter will be a piece of cake to write. I’ve even done my research and found the names of the managers so I can address the letters personally. And you know I can be charming in interviews. Goodbye my penniless days! Hello salary and a career!
2--Ben, we’re fifteen. What kind of job are you looking for?
1--Oh, just for a position as a gas station attendant. You know, starting at a simple lowly job, just like all the greats before they made it big in the world.
2--Uh-huh.
1--But I’m just in it for the money, right? How else am I going to be able to afford to keep taking Angela to the movies? Besides, I love the smell of gasoline, don’t you?

1--哇塞,这也许就是我余下生命的开始。
2--怎么了?
1--我想工作了。我找到一个有数百份工作信息的网站,我浏览其中的信息,并找到了一些我想为之工作的雇主的名字。我有上个月在英语课上写的简历,附信对我来说是小菜一碟。我已经找我找完信息,并找到了经理的名字,那样我就能私下将求职信发给他们。你知道,我在面试中很有魅力,再见了,我的穷日子。薪水和事业,你们好。
2--本,我们才十五岁,你要找什么样的工作?
1--喔,只是一个加油站服务人员的职位。你知道,起点要找一个简单的底层的工作,就像世界上所有取得伟大成就的伟人一样。
2--喔。
1--但是我找工作是为了挣钱,对吧?要不然我怎么能总请Angela去看电影呢?而且,我喜欢汽油的味道,你不喜欢吗?
