純正地道美語 第229期(外教講解):談論背景
Mr. Parsons: Now, Miss Childs passed on your resume to me and I’ve had the chance to look it over and I must say I’m quite impressed.
Rebecca:Thank you very much. I’ve tried to keep it short and clear. If there’s any questions please feel free to ask me.
Mr. Parsons: Well yes, I do have a number of questions, but perhaps first you could give me a brief overview I’d like to get a little bit of an idea of your background.
Rebecca:Yes, of course. Well as you can see from the resume I’m up and grew up in Brooklyn, New York, although our family moved to London when I was quite young, at around rook.
Mr. Parsons: Ah I see, so you were actually educated in Europe?
Rebecca:Yes precisely. Although I was born in the US, I would definitely call London home. But as you see I’ve actually spent a lot of my life moving from country to country. My Father was in the oil business before he retired so we also spent a number of years in Saudi Arabia too.
Mr. Parsons: Very interesting. So it seems you had quite an adventurous childhood.
Rebecca:Absolutely! We were never still for too long. But now I’m really looking to settle down.
Mr. Parsons:I see. Okay, well let’s move on to discuss your education shall we?
Rebecca:Sure.

Mr. Parsons: 蔡爾茲小姐請把你的簡歷遞給我。我能有機會來仔細看看，我必須說我對你印象深刻。
Rebecca: 非常感謝。我儘量讓簡歷簡單明瞭。如果有問題，請儘管問我。
Mr. Parsons: 好的，我有很多問題，但是也許你應該先將剛要向我們介紹下，我想知道一點你的背景。
Rebecca: 是的，當然可以。從簡歷上你可以得知，我在紐約的布魯克林區出生和長大，儘管我很小的時候家裏就搬到倫敦了。
Mr. Parsons: 我明白了，你實際上是在歐洲接受的教育？
Rebecca: 是的，雖然我在美國出生，我更願將倫敦稱作家。你可能看到我花了很多時間從一個國家去另1個國家。我父親退休前是做石油生意的，所以我們也在Saudi Arabia呆了很多年。
Mr. Parsons: 很有趣。看起來你的童年充滿冒險經歷。
Rebecca:是的，我們從來沒在1個地方呆太長時間。但是現在我真的想定居下來。
Mr. Parsons: 我明白，我們接着來談論你的教育吧，好嗎？
Rebecca:當然可以。
