Hello, Franklin! Hello, Mary! How nice to see you again! How have you been these days? Pretty busy, you know I am hunting for a job recently. Well, how is it going? You know I've been thinking about applying for a job in other states. Well, I've got the details about different jobs and I'd like your opinion about which would be the best one to go for. Where are the jobs? One is in Los Angeles, one is in Detroit and the other one is in Atlanta City. Los Angeles is supposed to be a very nice place. Los Angeles area offers many attractive visiting places, like mountains and beaches. And there are ski resorts near the city! It is considered to be one of the best tourist destinations in the country. Yes it is, and the company is also located in a beautiful part. That would be great for the health. You know, I'd love to be able to go skiing at weekends! But, one problem with Los Angeles is that it's growing very fast. That means the cost of living would be very high. A report says that the overall cost of living is 33% above the national average, with housing costs tending to be among the most expensive in the nation. In the city of Los Angeles, the median cost for apartment rentals is 735 dollars per month. How does the salary of the job in Los Angeles compare with other jobs? It's a higher salary than the job in Detroit but lower than the one in Atlanta City. The Atlanta City job has the most responsibility. From the point of view of career progression that would probably be the best job for me. Atlanta City is the closest to New York City, too, so it would be easy to come back for weekends and holidays. That's right, and the regular transportation service would save quite a bit on fares. And what about accommodation? Well, actually, apartments are much cheaper to rent in Los Angeles, Detroit and Atlanta City than they are here in New York City, so we'd be able to afford to live in a nice, spacious apartment, I think. Mmm, that would be terrific! And do you know what the cultural facilities are like in these cities? In fact, they're quite good in all three. But, of course, Los Angeles has an international reputation as a cultural center. It has a surprising number of art museums and galleries and many of them offer free admission all the time or on certain days of the week or month. There are also some excellent theaters in Los Angeles, some of which double as architectural landmarks, like the Pantages Theater. I have been there once, it's so amazing. What' s more, you know, I am so crazy about movies, and Hollywood is just there, maybe I could come across some super Hollywood stars in the street and get a signature. Well, that sounds fascinating. And another thing we'll have to consider, of course, are the educational possibilities. How long would you want to go for? I hope it would be a maximum of five years and working across states will be good for my career! And if I would apply for the master degree, there'd be no problems as University of California, Los Angeles, in fact, is the one of the largest universities in this country. Well, it seems to me that the choice must be between Atlanta City and Los Angeles. Atlanta City has the advantage of being closest to New York City, so coming home would be relatively easy and inexpensive. Los Angeles, on the other hand, sounds like the most interesting place from a cultural point of view. I agree with you. Personally, I favor Los Angeles because it is so fascinating. We both like skiing and we could go skiing at weekends in the winter. I think you are right.
你好，富兰克林！ 你好，玛丽！很高兴再次见到你！最近好吗？ 很忙。我最近在找工作。 哦，进展如何？ 你知道我一直想在其他州工作。我收到不同工作的详细信息，想征求你的意见，应聘哪个工作比较好。 工作地点在哪儿？ 一个在洛杉矶，一个在底特律，还有一个在亚特兰大。 洛杉矶是个美丽的地方。那儿有很多吸引人的景色，比如高山和沙滩。附近的城市还有滑雪场！洛杉矶可以算是全国最漂亮的城市之一了。 是的，那个公司坐落在一个很美的地方。 这对你健康有益。我很想在周末去哪滑雪！ 但是，问题在于洛杉矶发展太快。这意味着在那里生活成本很高。有报告说洛杉矶的总体生活成本高于全国平均水平的33%，房价在全国最高城市之列。在洛杉矶，一间公寓的租金一个月也要735美金。 和其他工作相比，洛杉矶这份工作的薪水如何？ 比底特律的工作薪水高，低于亚特兰大。在亚特兰大这个工责任重大。从职业发展前景看，这个工作对我来说是最好的。 亚特兰大和纽约离得也很近。你周末或放假回来会方便些。 是的，定期来往能省不少钱。 住宿情况如何？ 洛杉矶、底特律和亚特兰大公寓的租金比纽约便宜，我想我们可以租得起一间漂亮、宽敞的公寓。 嗯，那真是太好了！你知道在这些城市有什么文化设施吗？ 事实上，这三个城市的文化设施都很不错。当然，洛杉矶的文化中心国际闻名。许多博物馆和展览全天或每个星期、每个月某几天开发免费参观。在洛杉矶，剧院也很棒，其中一些还是建筑地标，比如潘太及斯剧院。我去过那儿，感觉太棒了。而且，你知道我是电影迷，好莱坞就在那里，也许我能偶遇好莱坞超级大明星，并得到他们的亲笔签名。 听起来真棒！当然，还有其他事要考虑，比如教育。你要去工作多久？ 我觉得最多5年吧，在外地工作有利于我的职业发展！如果我想攻读硕士学位，那儿有加州大学，那可是全国最大的大学之一。 在我看来，你可以在亚特兰大和洛杉矶之间选一个了。亚特兰大的优势是离纽约最近，回纽约方便、省钱。而从文化角度看，洛杉矶是最有意思的地方。 我同意。个人看来，我选洛杉矶，因为它很漂亮。我们都喜欢滑雪，一到冬天，我们就可以在周末去滑雪。 你说得对。
