Jen的新工作
The history museum needed to recruit a new tour guide.
历史博物馆需要招聘一名新导游。
The director interviewed dozens of applicants before he decided to hire Jen.
馆长面试了几十位应聘者，然后才决定聘用Jen。
She was chosen because she was friendly, punctual, and had a great attitude.
她之所以被选中，是因为她友好、守时，态度很好。
On her first day, Jen got to work and prepared to give her frst tour. She looked at the names on the register.
第一天，Jen就去上班，准备带团。她看了看登记册上的名字。
She saw that the Queen of England and a diplomat were visiting the museum.
她看到英国女王和一位外交官正在参观博物馆。
She thought, "It's my very first day, and I have to impress a monarch! I hope I don't humiliate myself in front of a person of such renown!"
她想：“这是我第一天上班，我必须给君主留下深刻印象！希望我不会在如此有名望的人面前丢脸！”
Jen was nervous. She took a deep breath and said, "Hello, everyone! I'm going to talk to you about the chronology of ancient Egypt."
Jen很紧张。她深吸了一口气，说：“大家好！我要和你们谈谈古埃及的年表。”
As she turned around to show the group some artifacts, she bumped into a copy of a fossil of an authentic elephant tusk.
当她转身向大家展示一些文物时，她撞上了一个真象牙化石的复制品。
It fell to the ground and broke into a million pieces! "Oh no!" said Jen to herself. "I sure hope the rest of the tour goes better than this!"
它掉在地上，碎成了一百万块！“哦不！”Jen对自己说。“我真希望接下来的旅行不会更糟糕了！”
The rest of the tour did not go any better. She tripped over an antique vase and broke a piece off of it.
剩下的旅行也好不到哪里去。她被一个古董花瓶绊倒了，摔碎了一块。
As she was reading an excerpt Epic from a lyric poem, she sneezed and tore a page of the epic. After the tour, Jen approached the queen to apologize.
当她正在阅读一首抒情诗中的史诗摘录时，她打了个喷嚏，撕掉了史诗的一页。游览结束后，Jen走到女王面前道歉。
She said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I was a terrible tour guide. Let me give you a refund for the money you spent."
她说：“对不起，陛下。我是个糟糕的导游。我退还您花的钱。”
The Queen laughed and said, "I didn't pay so there is no need for a refund, Jen. I loved the tour.
女王笑着说：“我没有付钱，所以不需要退款，Jen。我喜欢这次旅行。
You just have to be a little more careful and work hard to become the best at your job. Hard work precedes success."
你只需要更加小心，努力工作，成为工作中的佼佼者。努力工作终会获得成功。”
Jen smiled and thanked the Queen. She decided to be extra careful from then on.
Jen微笑着感谢女王。她决定从此以后要格外小心。
She was persistent and worked hard. In time, Jen became the best tour guide at the museum.
她坚持不懈，努力工作。随着时间的推移，Jen成为了博物馆最好的导游。
