白领快餐口语第9期:面试完了,还是很紧张~~

　　【Trancript】
Still a little on edge¹
A：Any plans tonight?
B：Not really, do you?
A：Well, I am wondering if we took a hang-out for a drink or something. You know, I just came back from a really tough interview. I was quite nervous during the interview. I really want to have the job. Right now, I am still a little on the edge. I am not sure if I could convince² them during the interview.
B：Take it easy. It is all over now. How was it going, anyway?
A：I don’t know. I think I did well in the paper exams. I was prepared to answer a lot of questions, but they didn’t ask those as I expected. To my surprise, the manager tried to talk about the Chinese poesy with me.
B：That’s strange. But probably, it is the new interview technique they call it “Getting to know you more personally”. What about your answers?
A：Just did my best.
Translation】
还是有一点放不下
A：晚上有什么计划没？
B：没有，你呢？
A：要不咱们还是去老地方喝一杯，怎样？你知道，我刚刚经历了一场艰难的面试。我面试的时候太紧张了。我真的很希望能够获得这份工作。刚刚我还有点紧张。我不知道自己能不能被他们选中。
B：别想太多了。都结束了。面试究竟怎样？
A：我也不清楚。笔试还不错。我提前准备了很多问题，不过他们都没问到。让我吃惊的是，那个经理竟然和我讨论中国诗歌。
B：确实很奇怪。不过，或许，这就所谓的新的“更关注你个人”的面试吧，你是怎么回答的呢？
A：我就是尽力而为了。
