The New Kid on the Block 菜鸟新同事

Dialogue A

Alice and Jerry are talking in the office.

Jerry: Hey, Alice. Who's that?

Alice: Oh, that's Gordon. He's the new kid on the block. He was hired last week.

Jerry: Wow, he's so young! He probably doesn't have any experience.

Alice: Yeah, but our company needs new blood. I don't want it to become old and boring.

Jerry: That's true. Maybe this kid will breathe new life into this place.

Alice: I hope so.

爱莉丝和杰瑞在办公室聊天。

杰 瑞:嘿,爱莉丝。那是谁啊?

爱莉丝:哦,那是高登。他是新人。上周录取的。

杰 瑞:哇,他好年轻喔!他大概没什么经验吧。

爱莉丝:是啊,不过我们公司需要新血。我可不希望公司变得既老套又乏味。

杰 瑞:没错。这小子或许能为这里带来新气象。

爱莉丝:希望如此。

Dialogue B

Alice is having coffee with Gordon.

Alice: So, you're pretty new to this job. Do you think you can handle the work?

Gordon: Well, this is my first real job, but I graduated at the top of my class.

Alice: School is very different from the real world. It's a whole new ball game.

Gordon: I know. I'm a little nervous. What if I make too many mistakes?

Alice: Don't worry. We'll all help you. We hope you'll help us break new ground.

Gordon: I bet I'll learn a lot here.

高 登:我知道。我有点紧张。万一我犯太多错该怎么办?

高 登:我相信我在这里一定会学到不少东西。

Tips In Use

What if I make too many mistakes?

(万一我犯太多的错该怎么办?)

What if...should...?  要是……的话要怎么办?

本句型乃表示对未来状况存疑的假设语气。if 子句多置助动词 should。例:

What if it should rain?

= What might happen if it should rain?

= What could we do if it should rain?

(要是下雨了怎么办?)

注意:

"what if"之后亦可用现在式,故上列例句可改写成:

What if it rains?

= What may happen if it rains?

= What should we do if it rains?
