美语情景对话 第1226期:Would you rather work for a big or small company? 大公司VS小公司

CleAnn: Nana, would you rather work for a big company or a small company?

克里安：纳纳，你喜欢在大公司工作还是在小公司工作？

Nana: I would prefer a smaller company because with a smaller company I can actually make decisions which would affect people around, so I prefer smaller companies.

纳纳：我更喜欢在小公司工作，因为在小公司，我可以做出影响周围人的决定，所以我喜欢小公司。

CleAnn: Yeah and then you get an opportunity to meet More people right?

克里安：对，而且还有机会认识更多人，对吧？

Nana: Yeah.

纳纳：没错。

CleAnn: Me too. I think I prefer small companies because it would be better to meet people. But I like to travel though and I think sometimes the bigger companies have more opportunities to travel so maybe in that case I might want to work for a big company.

克里安：我也是。我也喜欢小公司，因为在小公司更容易结识人。不过我喜欢旅行，我想在大公司工作会有更多旅行的机会，这样来看的话，我可能想去大公司工作。

Nana: Ah OK so ultimately you might want to work for a big company right?

纳纳：好，所以最终的结论是，你想去大公司工作，对吧？

CleAnn: I'm saying it depends on whether or not I prefer just to meet a lot of people around me or if I want to visit a lot of different countries. Do you understand?

克里安：我的意思是那要取决于我是否想认识更多的人，或我是否想去多个不同的国家旅行。你明白了吗？

Nana: Yeah, I understand.

纳纳：我明白了。

CleAnn: OK.

克里安：好。
