2020年9月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試聽(tīng)力練習(xí)材料 （二）

I have really amazing news. I just got a text message from my bank, saying my salary has been deposited in my account.

我得到了一個(gè)令人驚喜的消息。我剛收到銀行的短信，說(shuō)我的工資已存入我的帳戶(hù)。

Getting paid is good. But I don't understand why you're so excited. It happens every month.

發(fā)了工資是好事。但我不明白你為什么這么興奮。每個(gè)月都會(huì)發(fā)工資的。

Well, I've been working for a few years. In fact, I worked all through university,

嗯，我已經(jīng)工作了幾年了。事實(shí)上，在讀大學(xué)的整個(gè)期間我都在工作，

but I only had part-time jobs then. So this is the first time I've ever been paid for a month of full-time work.

但那時(shí)我只是做兼職工作。所以這是我第一次做全職工作，并得到相應(yīng)的全職月薪。

Well, then you must feel great. I mean, it's been two decades, but I can still remember when I got my first real salary.

那你一定感覺(jué)很棒。我是說(shuō)，已經(jīng)過(guò)去20年了，但我還記得我第一次拿到真正的薪水是什么時(shí)候。

I was happy for days. And I felt like it was a small fortune, even though it wasn't.

我開(kāi)心了好幾天。盡管沒(méi)有發(fā)大財(cái)，我還是覺(jué)得這是一筆小小的財(cái)富。

Yeah, I've never earned so much money before. And there are so many things I'd like to do with it.

是的，我以前從來(lái)沒(méi)有掙過(guò)這么多錢(qián)。我想用這個(gè)錢(qián)來(lái)做很多事情。

What did you do with your first pay?

你用你的第一筆工資做了什么？

I bought a new suit for work and took my parents to a nice restaurant to celebrate. Maybe you could do the same.

我買(mǎi)了一套新西服，打算上班穿，還帶父母去了一家不錯(cuò)的餐館慶祝一下?；蛟S你也可以這么做。

I have enough professional clothes. And my parents are across the country. So seeing them is impossible.

職業(yè)裝我夠多了。我父母跟我是異地。所以是不可能見(jiàn)到他們的。

But some people from the office are members of a gym. I want to join.

但是辦公室里的一些同事是健身房的會(huì)員。我想加入。

And my university classmates are arranging a trip to visit our old campus, and I'd love to go with them, but I can't afford both.

我的大學(xué)同學(xué)們打算去參觀我們老校區(qū)，我很想和他們一起去，但這兩個(gè)所要花的錢(qián)都超出我的資金預(yù)算。

If I were you. I join the gym because it's a good way to stay healthy, and it might help you build a stronger relationship with your colleagues.

如果我是你的話(huà)，我會(huì)選擇花錢(qián)買(mǎi)健身房的會(huì)員，因?yàn)榻∩硎且环N保持健康的好方法，而且它可能幫助你和同事建立更牢固的關(guān)系。

And good relationships are key to a successful career.

良好的人際關(guān)系是事業(yè)成功的關(guān)鍵。

Hm. You're right. Thanks for the advice. I'm taking it.

嗯，你說(shuō)的對(duì)。多謝你的建議。我打算采納你的建議。
