Apprentice interview
"Well Jim, you can
approachmy desk now. I have done anappraisalof yourapplicationto be myapprentice, and I have a few questions for you. You don't seem to have any apparent experience in working with largeaquatic appliances. You do know that theaquariumsI clean and make are not for goldfish or restaurant shelves, right?"
"Ummm. You mean you can put minnows in them too?"
"No. I mean they put sharks, manta rays, whales, and seals in them! Well, I
applaudyour effort andappreciateyour coming across town for this interview, but you don’t have the experience oraptitudethat is usually required for this type ofapprenticeship. I just can'tapprovehiring you."
"Thank you, sir.” I am very
appreciativeof youraptassessment of my qualifications. But
I believe you are wrong and I would like to
appeal, uhhh, to you to give meapprovalto at least be your apprentice for anapproximatetest period. I know I don't know anything about aquariums. I don't even know anapproximateamount of information about them! I come from the desert wherearableland is a rare thing. But that's why I came to California, to work with water, sir. And I know youapproveof determination. Well sir, I have that and I hope you will give me a try."
"Hmmm. Okay Jimmy, I'11 take a risk and give you a try. I will
appointyou for a three-month test period. We' 11 take a look at how you' re doing in three months and go from there."
"Thank you, sir! You won't be disappointed!"

古代竞技场
“好了,吉姆,现在你可以
我的桌子这儿了。我已经对你要求作我学徒申请做了评估,现在我要问你几个问题。你好像明显没有任何使用大型水生器械的经验。你一定知道我清理和制造的水族箱不是用来养金鱼或是用来放在餐厅搁架上的,对吧?”
“嗯,您是说里面也可以放些小鱼吗?”
“不,我的意思是里边放鲨鱼、蝠鲼、鲸鱼和海豹。对,我对你的努力表示
欢迎,也感谢你跑过来面试,可是你不具备这份学徒工作通常要求的经验和才能。我实在不能批准雇用你。”
“谢谢您,先生。您对我的资格做出了
恰当的评价,我对此表示感激。但是我确信您错了,我恳求您准许我成为您的学徒,至少让我干大约一个试用期的时间。我知道自己对水族箱知之甚少,甚至连大致了解都算不上。我来自沙漠地区,那里可耕种的土地非常稀少。但这正是我来到加州的原因,要找个和水有关的工作,先生。我也知道您认可做事有决心的人。先生,我有决心,希望您能让我尝试一下。”
“嗯,好吧,吉米,我就冒险让你尝试一下,
任命你干三个月的试用期。我们要看看你在这三个月内干得如何,然后再做打算。”
“谢谢您,先生,您不会失望的。”
