马克和罗娜分别在不同的公司面试,他们坐在了一起谈论起彼此的面试经历。
Mark: Hello, Lorna. How was your interview yesterday?
Lorna: Hello, Mark. I did a wonderful job and they're going to employ me. How about you?
Mark: I am sorry to tell you that I lost the opportunity.
Lorna: Why? You are so excellent. I think you are the most suitable person for the job.
Mark: I paid no attention to the advice you gave me about etiquette.
Lorna: What? Then what did you do?
Mark: When I entered the room, I forgot to close the door. Later, I couldn't help smoking, you know I am a heavy-smoker.
Lorna: You are so careless. You know there are the basic rules you should know before you attend an interview.
Mark: Yes, I know. And next time I must prepare well.
Lorna: Good luck next time.
Mark: Thank you.
重点讲解:
1.Smoker 吸烟者 它是由动词smoke(吸烟)加字母-r变化而来,由动词词性直接变化为名词词性,表示"......的人",类似于这样变化而来的单词还有:
Listen listener
Speak speaker
Read reader
Write writer
Act actor (特殊情况)
2.Good luck next time. 下次好运。相关的祝福语表达还有:
Good luck, good health, hood cheer. I wish you a happy New Year.
祝好运、健康、佳肴伴你度过一个快乐新年。
May the joy and happiness around you today and always.
愿快乐幸福永伴你左右。
