美语情景对话 第1226期:Would you rather work for a big or small company? 大公司VS小公司
CleAnn: Nana, would you rather work for a big company or a small company?
克里安:纳纳,你喜欢在大公司工作还是在小公司工作?Nana: I would prefer a smaller company because with a smaller company I can actually make decisions which would affect people around, so I prefer smaller companies.
纳纳:我更喜欢在小公司工作,因为在小公司,我可以做出影响周围人的决定,所以我喜欢小公司。CleAnn: Yeah and then you get an opportunity to meet more people right?
克里安:对,而且还有机会认识更多人,对吧?
Nana: Yeah.
纳纳:没错。CleAnn: Me too. I think I prefer small companies because it would be better to meet people. But I like to travel though and I think sometimes the bigger companies have more opportunities to travel so maybe in that case I might want to work for a big company.
克里安:我也是。我也喜欢小公司,因为在小公司更容易结识人。不过我喜欢旅行,我想在大公司工作会有更多旅行的机会,这样来看的话,我可能想去大公司工作。Nana: Ah OK so ultimately you might want to work for a big company right?
纳纳:好,所以最终的结论是,你想去大公司工作,对吧?CleAnn: I'm saying it depends on whether or not I prefer just to meet a lot of people around me or if I want to visit a lot of different countries. Do you understand?
克里安:我的意思是那要取决于我是否想认识更多的人,或我是否想去多个不同的国家旅行。你明白了吗?Nana: Yeah, I understand.
纳纳:我明白了。CleAnn: OK.
克里安:好。译文属仅供学习交流使用,未经许可请勿转载
