ROB: Allen, I just heard the good news.
　　ALLEN: What good news?
　　ROB: They chose you to be project assistant over in Chicago. Congratulations.
　　ALLEN: Yes, Mr. Tate told me before the meeting Tuesday.
　　ROB: Great. I bet you're excited, aren't you?
　　ALLEN: I was quite surprised. But it isn't all for certain yet.
　　I told them I will accept, though, if they choose me.
　　ROB: You don't seem very happy about it. Why?
　　ALLEN: Maybe I'm a little nervous about making such a big move right now.
　　You know Nancy and I just bought a new house.
　　ROB: Have you told her yet?
　　ALLEN: I plan to talk with her about it tonight.
　　ROB: Chicago is a nice place.
　　And you both speak English well. Her English is excellent.
　　ALLEN: I know she doesn't want to be far from her family.
　　That will be the hardest part for her.
　　ROB: You're both young. A little adventure will be good for you.
　　ALLEN: Maybe.
　　ROB: Do you know how long the project over there will last?
　　ALLEN: Mr. Tate said I would probably be over there for two years.
　　But it could be more than that, too.
　　So I think two or three years, at least.
　　ROB: To be honest, I envy you.
　　I've never had a chance to work in one of the overseas' offices.
　　I wish it were me who could go.
　　ALLEN: You're too important here, Rob. We wouldn't be able to function here without you.
　　ROB: Maybe some time in the future I will be able to get a couple years overseas.
　　I really like that idea---changing one's life for awhile.
　　ALLEN: And your wife?
　　ROB: Oh, Carol is even more adventuresome than I am.
　　She would be thrilled if I got a transfer. She always talks about traveling more.
　　ALLEN: I've only been out of the country once in my life.
　　ROB: Well, living abroad would be a great experience for you then.
　　I think you should look forward to it.
　　ALLEN: I do look forward to it, but I'll have to talk it over with Nancy.
　　ROB: Good luck!
　　ALLEN: Thanks.
　　羅伯：艾倫，我剛聽到好消息。
　　艾倫：什么好消息？
　　羅伯：他們選你到芝加哥擔任項目助理，恭喜。
　　艾倫：是，泰德先生在星期二會議前已告訴過我了。
　　羅伯：真好。我打賭你一定很興奮，對不對？
　　艾倫：我真得有點兒驚訝，但還沒有完全定案。
　　我告訴過他們，如果他們選擇我，我會接受。
　　羅伯：你好象并不怎么高興，怎么了呢？
　　艾倫：或許我對這么大的變動有一點緊張。
　　你知道南希和我才剛買了一棟新房子。
　　羅伯：你告訴她了嗎？
　　艾倫：我計劃今晚告訴她。
　　羅伯：芝加哥是個不錯的地方。
　　而且你們兩個英語都說得很好。她的英語非常好。
　　艾倫：我知道她不想離開她家人太遠。
　　那對她來說是最難的一部分。
　　羅伯：你們都很年輕。一點點的冒險對你們來說是不錯的。
　　艾倫：或許吧。
　　羅伯：你知道那個項目會花多少時間嗎？
　　艾倫：泰德先生說我大概會要在那兒兩年。
　　但也有可能會更久。
　　所以我認為至少會待上兩三年。
　　羅伯：老實說，我很羨慕你。
　　我從來沒有機會到海外去工作。
　　我真希望我可以去。
　　艾倫：你在這里太重要了，羅伯。我們沒有你就不能運作了。
　　羅伯：或許在未來我可以待在海外幾年。
　　我很喜歡那個主意--改變自己的生活一段時間。
　　艾倫：你老婆呢？
　　羅伯：喔，卡羅比我更喜歡冒險。
　　她會很激動如果我能外調。她總是談論著旅游。
　　艾倫：在我生命中我只有出過一次國。
　　羅伯：嗯，在國外居住對你來說會是一個很好的經歷。
　　我認為你應該期待它的到來。
　　艾倫：我是頗期待的，但我必須與南希商量。
　　羅伯：祝好運！
　　艾倫：謝謝你。
