Applicant: Hi! Are you Mr. Taylor Pan? This is my business card.I'm Jason Ma's friend.
Interviewer : Oh, you're Miss Sun.
Applicant : Daphne Call me Daphne, please.
Interviewer : OK. Daphne, what can I do for you?
Applicant: Jason told me that you're looking for a translator, so I came for a try.
Interviewer: I see. Do you realize that most of our work is done at night?
Applicant: Yes, I do understand work starts at 7 p. m. and goes to 1 a.m.
Interviewer: Exactly. Do you have to work in the daytime?
Applicant : Yes, I work with a translation company as both a translator and an editor. I have to translate any documents I receive and I've been there for two years.
Interviewer: So, how are your Chinese and English?
Applicant: Well, I can confidently say that my Chinese and English are pretty good. I won prizes in speech competitions and composition contests several times in both Chinese and English.
Interviewer: But,we'll still have to test both your language skills and work efficiency.
Applicant : All right. Well, Mr. Pan, may I ask one thing?
Interviewer: Sure, go ahead.
Applicant : If I work here, do I get any holidays?
Interviewer : No , no holidays.
Applicant : Not any?
Interviewer: Not any. We work on Sundays, on national holidays,and on New Year's Day. If you think after a full day's work at the translation company,you still have enough energy to work here and keep your thinking clear, you can consider working with us. If not, you'd better reconsider.
Applicant : Thank you for the advice. If I get tired, I'll consider quitting my job at the translation company.
Interviewer: Well, Daphne, we'll let you know our decision soon.
Please go to the office next door. There'll be other people to tell you how to take the test. Good luck.
Applicant :Thank you, Mr. Pan. Goodbye.
Interviewer : Goodbye.
