【迷你小对话】
A: I’m getting nowhere playing video games all day.
B: I know what you mean. I thought my last job would be a good one, but it was just a flash-in-the-pan.
A: Yeah. We spent all that time studying in school, but what do we have? Nothing!
B: And when you go to those job fairs, you just feel like a drop in the ocean.
A: 整天玩电子游戏,真是一事无成。
B: 我明白你的意思。我觉得我的前一份工作不错,可那又不过是昙花一现。

B: 等到去参加那些招聘会时,你就感觉自己像大海里的一滴水一样不起眼。
