我還沒做決定呢。真的很難做出抉擇。
Tony:Why’s that? Just a couple of days ago, you were telling me how much you wanted to go overseas to study.
怎么會呢?兩三天前你還在說你是多么想出國深造呢。
Maggie:Yes, but a vacancy just opened up in the English Department.
是啊,但是英語系正好有個職位空缺。

他們把這個職位給了我。所以我現(xiàn)在不知道該怎么辦了。
Tony:What a great opportunity! I see what you mean though, tough choice.

我一直在準(zhǔn)備出國留學(xué) 。我在這上面花費了大量的時間和精力,我可不希望看到這一切努力都白費了。

不要想得太多。這份工作確實是個不錯的機會。你應(yīng)該在機會來臨的時候抓住它。

我也想,不過我還是覺得需要再好好考慮一下。但還是要謝謝你的真知灼見。
