A Okay Rebecca, well I think you’ve given me a clear impression of your positive qualities, but let’s talk a little bit about your weaknesses.

好吧，Rebecca，我想对你的优点你已经给我留下清晰的印象。我们来谈下你的缺点吧。

B Okay, well it’s always more difficult to describe them isn’t it?

好的，描述缺点总有点困难，不是吗？

A Definitely, but if you had to pinpoint one weakness what would it be?

确实是这样，如果你必须得说下缺点，你会说什么？

B Well as I mentioned before, I do tend to get frustrated if I don’t see progress in my work or career. I suppose I’m quite a restless character. My father always taught me to be a high achiever.

就像我早提到的，如果在工作或失业中我看不到进步，就会感到沮丧。我想我有种闲不着的性格。我爸爸总是教育我成为一名成功者。

A So would you say if things don’t go your way at work it could easily get you down?

如果事情没有按照你的意愿发展，那会让你失望或沮丧吗？

B Well, in a way yes. But I must say that even if I’m not completely happy in my work I always give 110% I would never shirk my responsibilities. I suppose sometimes I expect too much too soon.

在某些方面是的。但是我必须说，即使我工作时并不是十分开心，我总是110%地付出，我也不会逃避责任，我想有时候我期盼得太多，太急了。

A Well, you know journalism is a highly competitive world, so you do need to keep pushing yourself it’s true. Okay, well let’s move on to talk about the job position here, shall we?

你知道，新闻业竞争十分激烈，所以你需要督促自己，那是真的，好的，我们来谈下这儿的工作职位，好吗？

B Yes, please.

好的，请吧。
