A I don't know what I'm going to do.I need to find a job. If I don't, I won't be able to stay here next semester.

我不知道如何是好。我需要找一個工作。如果我找不到，下個學(xué)期就沒有辦法留在這里。

B Have you tried university part-time jobs?

你試過大學(xué)的兼職工作嗎？

A What do you mean?

你的意思是？

B I mean in the library, or in some information center.Often the university hires foreign students for part-time positions.

我的意思是圖書館或者一些資訊中心。通常大學(xué)都會雇用外國的學(xué)生來做兼職的工作。

A Yes, I know. I tried that.They don't have anything now. So what can I do?

是，我知道。我試過。他們現(xiàn)在沒有任何工作。所以，我該怎么辦呢？

B Well, since you're a foreign student, it's hard.That's because it's actually illegal for you to work in America.

嗯，你身為一個外國學(xué)生，是蠻難的。那是因為你在美國工作是非法的。

A I know that. You don't have to tell me that. That's my problem.I know I have the right to work for the university. That's legal.But they don't have a job for me. And it's illegal for me to get a job elsewhere.

我知道。你不必告訴我那些，那是我的問題。我知道我有權(quán)利在大學(xué)里工作，那是合法的。但是他們沒有工作給我。對我來說在別的地方工作又是非法的。
