Oh, look, there’s Caroline and her boyfriend. She’s always going on about him at the office. Oh, great, they saw us. They’re coming this way.

哦，看，卡罗琳和她男朋友来了。她在办公室老提他。哎呀，他们看见我们了，正往这边走。

杰西卡！亚瑟！嗨！来认识一下我男朋友格雷格，他是财富500强食品公司负责质量与安全的副总裁。

Hello.

你好。

Caroline talks about you all the time. I guess you must be pretty busy at work.

卡罗琳总提起你。我想你工作一定很忙吧。

Well, yeah, a V. P. position is not easy, you know! I implement policies and procedures nationwide of various departments, as well as train junior managers in FDA and EPA regulations. I also have to oversee daily operation of our quality control for the entire East Coast! That along means I have 5500 employees under me...

嗯，是啊，副总裁这个职位可不轻松！我负责全国各部门的政策和程序实施，还要培训初级经理关于FDA和EPA的法规。另外还得监督整个东海岸的日常质量控制工作。光是这个就有5500名员工归我管……

Wow, yeah... that sounds exciting.

哇，是啊……听起来真带劲。

And what about you, Arthur? What do you do for a living?

那你呢，亚瑟？你是做什么工作的？

Oh, I’m a Top Gun pilot!
