在時尚雜志做事,如何打電話跟名人談工作
來聽今天的講解:
A: Bianchi Gallery.
Bianchi 畫廊。
B: I'm not sure if you can help me, but I'm trying to reach Vincent Bianchi.
不在帝豪你能不能幫我隔忙,我想找Vincent Bianchi。
A: You got him.
我就是。
B: Oh, OK. Wow. I wasn't expecting this ... Um ... I thought I was gonna have to leave a message.
哦,嗯,哇喔,我真沒想到…… 我以為我只能留個口信。
A: You wanna call back? I could let the machine pick up.
你要再打一次嗎?我可以打開留言機。
B: No! No, no. No. OK, Mr. Bianchi, I am a really big fan of yours. That cover shoot you did for Rolling Stone... Wow, that was amazing.
不!不,不,呃,不要。呃,Bianchi先生,我是你的忠實粉絲,你為滾石樂隊拍的封面照……哇喔,簡直太棒了。
A: Thanks. You have excellent taste. How can I help you?
哦,謝謝,你很有品味。找我有什么事嗎?
B: Well, I'm calling about your availability for a magazine shoot...
呃,事實上,我想問你能不能幫一本雜志拍些照片。
A: You gotta go through my rep for that, Sheila Cordova.
嗯,你得跟我的經(jīng)紀人Sheila Cordova聯(lián)系。
B: You know, you and I, we went to the same high school.
你跟我,我們上過同一所高中。
A: Huh?
啊?
B: Queensborough High, right? Class of 9?
皇后區(qū)高級中學,對不對?93級的。
A: Do I know you?
我認識你?
B: No, no, no. We didn't go at the same time. Actually, my name is Betty Suarez. Class of 2002. But, it turns out that you and me, we grew up from blocks from each other. I live of Roosevelt.
不,不認識。我們不是同一屆的。其實我叫 Betty Saurez,2002級的。不過你跟我,我們住得很近,僅僅相隔四個街區(qū)。我住在羅斯福附近。
A: You're a Jackson Heights girl, huh?
是杰克遜高地那邊的人嗎?
B: Uh-huh.
是的。
A: You don't say.
真的?。?/font>
B: I practically live at Astoria Lemon Ice. You know that doughnut place two blocks down? That's where I grew up. I worked there every summer in high school and it burnt down. Now it's a deli. It's pretty good, but...
實際上我住在Astoria的冰檸檬店。你知道賣甜甜圈的地方嗎?再過兩個街區(qū),那就是我長大的地方。我高中時每個夏天都去那打工,直到那被火燒了?,F(xiàn)在那是食品店。也很不錯,不過……
A: Not as good as SaI's though, huh?
沒SaI那家好,對嗎?
B: On 87th? Oh, my gosh, like the best sausage and pepper hero on the eastern seaboard.
87年開的那家?哦,天啊,那里有東海岸最棒的胡椒香腸無敵三明治。
A: Just the smell of those could get me high. I haven't thought about those in a long time. So, Betty Suarez, OK, you've got me hungry and curious. What is this job you wanted to talk to me about?
嗯,沒錯,光是味道就能讓我很高興,我很久都沒想過那些事了。Betty Saurez,你把我的饞蟲和好奇心都引出來了,你要跟我談的是什么工作?
B: Well, I work at Mode magazine and my boss, Daniel Meade, was wondering ...Hello?
我在時尚雜志做事,我老板Daniel Meade想…… 喂?
