  These are tough economic times in America and elsewhere. If you're like me, you're saving money any way you can.I've cancelled my cable,invested in a good pair of binoculars and started watching my neighbor's TV. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

  现在美国经济正处于艰难时期,其他地方也一样。如果你像我,也处于这种境况,你肯定会绞尽脑汁去省钱。我取消了有线电视服务,花钱买了一副不错的望远镜,开始看我邻居家的电视。非常时期就得采取非常措施。

  In this harsh economic climate, it's important to have a job, any job. But finding a job isn't easy, their employees--even the male ones--pink slips. Competition for jobs is so intense that chess champ Vishwanathan Anand has been flooded with applications,all because someone wrote that he has"good openings".

  在这么艰难的经济环境下,有一份工作是非常重要的,无论是什么工作。但找一份工作不容易,特别是有那么多公司都给他们的雇员发出“粉红纸片(解雇通知书)”--即使是男雇员也会收到。求职竞争的激烈适度可以参照国际象棋大师维斯瓦纳坦·阿南德的情况,他最近快被无数的应聘信给淹没了,这一切皆源于有人写他有“好的空缺职位(开局)”。(注:“opening”既指象棋的“开局”,也有“空缺职位”之意。)

  With all the competition, it's vital for job seekers to give themselves an edge. That's why I've decided to offer a few tips to help people stand out from the crowd. Some of these tips may seem obvious, but, trust me, they're often overlooked.

  竞争对手如云,求职者给自己增加一些优势是很重要的。所以我决定提供一些提示,帮助大家脱颖而出。某些提示可能看起来显而易见,但是,相信我,它们经常都被忽视了。

  Tip #1: Learn to speak English. When the economy was strong, some folks were able to find decent jobs in America by knowing just three words of English:"Me want job." Others, realizing the importance of grammar, tried a little harder:"Me wants job." These days, three words of English aren't enough to secure a job in any part of America outside Miami. Job seekers must learn at least six words, particularly these six:"Would you like fries with that?" They may seem like easy words, but some immigrants really struggle with them. A few have been fired from fastfood restaurants for repeatedly asking customers, "Would you like flies with that?" The restaurants, as you can imagine, received many customer complaints, such as the one from a West Virginia man who threw his meal at the manager, shouting:"I thought I was getting flies with my burger, not fries."

  提示一:学说英语。经济繁荣的时候一些人仅仅凭着这三个英语单词:“Me want job(我要工作)”就可以在美国找到体面的工作。而其他那些意识到语法重要性的人,则会稍稍努力一下,说出“Me wants job(我想要工作)“。但这些年头里,在美国的任何一个地方,迈阿密除外,这三个英语单词已经不足以用来保住工作了。求职者一定要学会至少六个英语单词,特别是这六个:“Would you like fries with that?(你喜欢配炸薯条吗?)”这些词看起来可能很简单,但有些移民真的拿这几个单词没辙。有些在快餐店工作的人就因为反复询问顾客“你喜欢配‘苍蝇’吗”而被解雇了。你可以想象一下,那些餐馆收到了多少顾客的投诉,甚至于有个来自西维吉尼亚洲的男人将他的餐食直接扔向经理,吆喝道:“不是说这汉堡的配菜是苍蝇吗,咋又配薯条了。”
