女：上次听你说要去打工，工作找得怎么样？ 男：挺顺利的，这周五我去公司人力资源部面试，他们当场就录用我了，通知我下周一去上班。 女：你去的什么公司？ 男：我去了一家IT公司。 女：哦，那你知道你工作的主要内容是什么吗？ 男：我老板让我负责辅助一些游戏的开发。 女：那一定很有意思，我也很喜欢打游戏呢！不过游戏开发应该很辛苦，这家公司的待遇如何？ 男：我是以实习生的身份去上班的，所以工资比较低，一天100块钱。 女：每天工作多长时间？ 男：早上9点上班，下午5：30下班。不过，听说这家公司经常要加班。 女：那真是辛苦，工资也不算高。我听说你还在给两个初中学生当家教？ 男：是的，不过我把这两份家教都安排到周末了。 女：这样你岂不是一周七天都工作了？还真是拼命三郎呀。 男：没有办法，我得自己租房子，而且你也知道，我还有一个挥金如土的女朋友，另外，上周我还贷款买了一辆车，现在不拼命赚钱的话，日子就过不下去了。 女：你为什么买车呀？ 男：我女朋友说她想每周末都去郊区散心。 女：你对你女朋友真是宠爱有加。不过你两份家教，一份工作，还有可能经常加班，哪儿来的时间去散心呀？ 男：时间就像海绵里的水，只要你愿意挤，总还是有的。 女：我对你真是佩服得五体投地。得，只劝你一句话，尽力而为，量力而行，保重身体。 男：多谢你的关心。 W: The last I heard, you were looking for a job, how's it going?
M: So far so good, [just] this Friday I went to the HR Dept. for an interview, they hired me on the spot and asked me to start work next Monday.
W: What kind of company is it?
M: An IT company.
W: I see, do you know what your job specs are?
M: My boss gave me the responsibility of assisting in the development of some games.
W: That's pretty interesting, I'm fond of playing games too! But developing games should be quite a taxing job, what's the salary they're paying?
M: I'm reporting for work in the capacity of an intern, so my pay is relatively lower, 100 yuan per day.
W: How many work hours do you have to clock per day?
M: I start work at 9 a.m. and finish work at 5:30 p.m. But I think we're required to do overtime quite regularly.
W: That's really tough, and the pay's not very high too. I heard you're also giving private tutoring to two junior high students?
M: Yep, I've shifted those tutoring sessions to the weekends.
W: Then won't you be working seven days a week? You're really a workaholic.
M: I don't have any choice, I have to pay the rent, and as you know it, I have a girlfriend who spends money like water [lit. squander money like dirt]. Also, I just took out a car loan last week, so if I don't work hard to earn money [lit. earn money with my life], the days ahead are gonna be really bumpy.
W: Why did you buy a car?
M: My girlfriend said that she'd love to go out to the suburbs/outskirts for leisure during the weekends.
W: You really pamper/spoil your girlfriend. Anyway, you have two students to tutor, and a [full-time] job which requires regular overtime, where will you find the time for such leisure?
M: Time is like the water in a sponge, so long as you are willing to squeeze, there will inevitably be some time to spare.
W: I really take my hats off to you [lit. prostrate to you in admiration]. Right, I only have a few words of exhortation for you, try your best, work within your abilities, and take care of your health.
M: Thanks for your concern.
