A：You look a bit dull today. What's up?

你今天看起來不那么高興，怎么了?

B：Well, my mum lost her job yesterday.

嗯，我媽昨天把工作給丟了。

A：I'm sorry to hear that. Well, I heard that registered urban unemployment rate reached 4 percent this year,with more than half being women.

真抱歉。嗯，我聽說今年城鎮(zhèn)居民的失業(yè)率達到4%，而其中一半以上都是女的。

B：The supply outstrips the demand in the job market and women are in a disadvantageous position as a whole.

人才市場供大于求，女性總的來說還是處于劣勢。

A：Yeah, it's true. What is she going to do?

確實是那樣。她該怎么辦啊?

B：Well,she is thinking of doing some household cleaning or baby sitting in the community.

嗯，我媽打算去小區(qū)里給人打掃衛(wèi)生或看孩子什么的。

A：That's not bad. It could be a short-term alternative. Your mum can look for another one when the market improves. Things will work out eventually.

那也不錯。先暫時找個工作干著。等形勢好轉了再找個好的。事情最終都會解決的。

B：Thank you.I just hope she won't feel pressed.

謝謝了。我只希望她能心情好點兒。
