纯正地道美语 第239期(外教讲解):工作经历  

Rebecca:Yes, that’s right. To be honest, the first year was quite tough for me. I was really just treated more like an intern. I didn’t have many responsibilities and I found it quite frustrating.

Mr. Parsons: So, what changed?,Rebecca:Well slowly but surely I proved myself, and the new editor liked me so he promoted me to features writer.,Mr. Parsons: Wow, a real step up!

Rebecca:Yes， I was responsible for restaurant and food reviews mostly. I spent restaurant years in that position, but to be honest it wasn’t an area of journalism I wanted to stay in long-term.,Mr. Parsons: I see, so why did you decide to leave finally?,Rebecca:I just felt that the paper couldn’t offer me any new opportunities. I really needed a more challenging role to be honest.
,frustrating adj. 令人泄气的, 使人沮丧的,slowly but surely 缓慢而稳步地,to prove oneself 证明自己有能力,long-term a.长期的,challenging a.具有挑战性的

Mr. Parsons: 现在我想了解更多你上份工作的信息。我看到简历上写你在 《伦敦周报》呆了4年，对吧？,Rebecca:是的，说实话，第1年对我来说很困难。我第1年更像是实习生的待遇。我没有太多职责，我发现这很令人沮丧。,Mr. Parsons:然后什么改变了？,Rebecca:缓慢而稳步地我证明自己有能力完成工作，新的编辑喜欢我，于是他提升我为专栏作家。,Mr. Parsons:喔，真的是很大进步。,Rebecca:是的，我主要负责饭店和食品的点评。我做饭店栏目做了一些年，但说实话那不是我想长时间做的新闻业。,Mr. Parsons:我明白，最后你决定离开？,Rebecca:我只是觉得那家报纸不会为我提供新的机会。说实话，我真的需要一个更有挑战的职位。
