问题
W: Hey, Tom, got a second?
M: Sure, what’s up?
W: The company has offered me a new position. It’s kind of a promotion.
M: Hey! Congratulations! That’s great!
W: Well, yes… but the new position would require me to relocate my office in Orlando, Florida. I know you relocated here from Chicago, so I wanted to get your two cents worth (听取你的意见).
M: Sure. Well, for starters, I went the opposite direction, moving from the United States to Asia, so it’s quite a different ball game. But I think the main thing you have to do is to weigh the pros and cons (权衡利弊).
W: I don’t even know where to start. One pro is a higher salary.
M: That’s always a pro. But there’s a whole bunch of other factors to consider.
W: Such as?
M: Well, consider how you get to work here. You take the subway, right?
W: Of course.
M: In Orlando, you would have to drive.
W: Anything else?
M: I think one of the biggest things you might face is the change in the pace of life. In most of America, things don’t zip by like they do here in Asia.
W: So many cons.
M: No, no. There are some great pros as well. On a financial note, you’ll probably be able to save a lot more of your salary and have more disposable (可支配的) income, as rents and living costs in that area are reasonable.
W: Yes. From a financial standpoint relocating makes sense, but I just want to make sure I’m not shooting myself in the foot (搬起石头砸自己的脚,自讨苦吃). Happiness is important, right?
M: Oh, absolutely. But Florida is a beautiful state with a nice climate. You’ll be able to enjoy the beaches and take vacations in Miami!
W: Sounds good. It’s just such a hard decision for me. I want to branch out and spread my wings, but there are so many unknowns.
M: Yeah, I also had mixed emotions when they first offered me this job.
W: How long did it take you to settle into your new environment?
M: I have to be honest. For the first three months I was pretty unhappy. I didn’t like the food, and couldn’t figure out the subway system. But after the four-month mark, I began to feel much better.
W: Now how does it feel? You’ve been here for a full year, right?
M: Yeah. My one-year anniversary is next week, and I have to say, I’ve never been happier.
W: Thanks for sharing your experience with me, Tom. I really appreciate it. You helped me clarify my own feelings.
M: Glad to be of help. Don’t forget to invite me to your going-away party!
W: I won’t!
