M: I got fired.
M：我被开除了。
W: How come? Last time I saw you. You told me it was a good job, and you'd like to take it as a career. That was only one month ago. Why this sudden change?
W：怎么会？上次见着你的时候，你告诉我工作很不错，你会把它当作事业来做，那只是一个月前的事情。怎么突然就起了变化？
M: It's a long story. In a word, I didn't do a good job of it. I messed up a business deal, a deal that would have made ten million dollars and I messed it up.
M：说来话长，总之，我没有把工作做好。我搞砸了一桩买卖，一桩可以挣一千万美元的买卖，我还把它给搞砸了。
W: What are you going to do now?
M：那你现在做什么呢？
M: I am trying to find a job asap. Lily doesn't know yet. I didn't tell her. I spent the past three days at the coffee shop next to your office, and she thought I went to work as usual.
W：我想忙找份工作，Lily还不知道，我没告诉她。过去的三天我都在你办公室旁边的咖啡厅里呆着，她认为我还和往常一样去工作了。
M：这也不是解决问题的办法，你看了分类广告了吗？
M: Yes, I did. But I wasn't qualified for most of the jobs that I was interested in.
W：看了，但是大多数我喜欢的工作我都不够格。
W: Listen. I will see what I can do, ok? You go home and tell Lily about this problem you have now. She is your wife and I am sure she will understand.
M：听着，我看看我能做什么，好吧？你回家告诉Lily关于你现在所面对的这个问题，她是你的妻子，她会理解的。
M: I just don't know how to bring it up. Well, all right. She has the right to know anyways.
W：我只是不知道该怎么和她说…好吧，不管怎么说她有知道的权利。
