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。我需要找一个工作。如果我找不到，下个学期就没有办法留在这里。

B Have you tried university part-time jobs?

你试过大学的兼职工作吗？

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.

我的意思是图书馆或者一些资讯中心。通常大学都会雇用外国的学生来做兼职的工作。

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

是，我知道。我试过。他们现在没有任何工作。所以，我该怎么办呢？

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，你身为一个外国学生，是蛮难的。那是因为你在美国工作是非法的。

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。你不必告诉我那些，那是我的问题。我知道我有权利在大学里工作，那是合法的。但是他们没有工作给我。对我来说在别的地方工作又是非法的。
