Nancy:yeh!what daya do?
Victor:what do you do?就是我們?cè)趩?wèn)別人職業(yè)的時(shí)候常說(shuō)的一句話(huà)。
Nancy:now listen to my pronunciation. What daya what daya what daya do?
Victor:What daya do?
Nancy:good! This is the way we ask someone about their job.
“what daya do?”, it’s short for “what do you do for a living,”
but we don’t say “for a living” anymore.
Victor:great! 我喜歡現(xiàn)在的英語(yǔ),越說(shuō)越“短”啦!
Nancy,what daya do? 對(duì)了,你掙多少錢(qián)呢?
Nancy:It’s always okay to ask someone about their job, it shows you’re interested in them. But you never, ever ask someone how much money they make.
Victor:大家明白了嗎?問(wèn)what daya do?不會(huì)冒犯別人,但是可千萬(wàn)不能問(wèn)別人掙多少錢(qián)!
Nancy:Ok, that’s it for today! See you next time!
Victor:bye--bye!
