Until the 30yearold who was interviewing me asked me if I'd ever used twittering as part of a marketing campaign.
直到那位面试我的30 岁小伙儿问我是否我曾经用“微博”来作为营销策略。
Lynette:And what'd you say?
你说什么？
Tom:Nothing...
啥都没说。
Because I don't know what "twittering" is.
因为我不知道啥叫"微博"。
Lynette:It's a social networking tool where you send instant updates to anybody who signs up for them.
就是一种社交网络工具，可以向每一个用户即时发送更新。
Tom:So... you knew about this and yet you kept it from me?

It's for young people.

Tom:And I am a dinosaur marching into the tar pit.
而我就像啥都不懂的恐龙。
Lynette:I didn't say that.
我可没这么说。
You're not gonna get a whole lot of sympathy from me.
你才不需要我的同情呢。
I just went through the same thing. Remember?

50 guys showed up for that one job and I was 10 years older than every single one of them.

I could hear them twittering as I left the room.
