Toby: Umm ... you know, I can't think of one at the moment. But trust me, whenever there is a problem I can always think on my feet and come up with a solution.
哈哈,露馅儿了吧! Toby夸口说,自己善于think outside the box - 想出别出心裁的点子,可是人家让他举例的时候,他就没词儿了!
Professor: That's right. When you go to an interview you should be ready to give examples of your accomplishments, not just talk generally about your work ethic or creativeness.
不过,professor Bowman, 什么是"thinking on your feet?"
Professor: Thinking on your feet is quickly thinking of solutions to unexpected problems. For example, a politician needs to think on his feet during a debate in order to respond to attacks from his opponent.
哦,就是“反应敏捷迅速”的意思。
Jack: Well Toby, I appreciate you coming in. Right now we have to interview a few more applicants, so we will get back to you when we make a decision.
Toby: Thanks for your time. Can you tell me when you would want me to start if I'm selected?
Jack: Frankly, Toby, I wouldn't worry about that too much.
Ouch! Toby 问人家自己什么时候开始上班,人家却说,这个问题您就不用管了!看来,这份工作肯定没戏了!
Professor: It sounds like Toby might be working at the campus book store for a while longer.
