接下来这篇文章给大家介绍的是英语情景口语两位朋友之间的对话——如果失业了怎么办。一位朋友担心他失业了钱不够用怎么办，另一位朋友则在一旁出谋划策，甚至提出如果对方失业了可以搬到他家去住直到找到工作为止。有这样的朋友真好啊!好了，不再感慨了，还是一起来欣赏下面的英语情景口语小对话吧!

A：I don't know what I'm going to do! It's going to be impossible to make ends meet if I lose my job.

B: Don't worry. I don't think you're going to lose your job over one mistake.

A: It was a rather big mistake. When you work as a investment adviser, one small mistake can cost the company millions.

B：But it wasn't just you who was involved, right? You were only doing what your supervisor told you to do.

A: That's true, but my supervisor is very dishonest. There's no reason that he will tell my boss it was all my fault, and there's nothing I can do about that. My boss won't believe me if I tell him the truth.

B: Let's think realistically about what might happen. How much maney do you have in your savings?

A: I have enough to live off of for about 3 months. But I really don't want to spend my life saving on just living!I'd rather invest my money somehow.

B: Well,you can't have everything. Let's just figure out what you'll do if you lose your job. When is your contract up on your apartment?

A: Next month. So, I can move out then or renew my contract for another year.

B: Well,that's good. If you lose your job, you can just move in with me until you find another job. That will save you plenty of money.

A: That's very generous of you. I guess that would work.

B: If you lose your job, you just have to go for a few manths without buying all the junk you usually buy. If you live frugally, you'll save plenty of money.

A: I guess working with so much money has made me rather greedy. Maybe losing my job would be a good thing!

【参考译文】

A: 我真不知道该怎么办!我要是丢了工作，一定会入不敷出的。

B：别担心，我觉得你不会因为只犯一次错误就丢掉工作的。

A：可真的是一个大失误，如果你是投资顾问，那么即使是一个很小的失误也会造成公司上百万的损失。

B：不过，这事又不是归你一个人负责，对吧?你只是做了你上司吩咐你做的事而已。

A：这倒是事实，可是我的上司可不是一个诚实的人。他不可能跟我们老板说实话。我敢肯定他会跟我们老板说都是我的错。就算我跟老板说实话，他也不会相信的。

B：那咱们想象一下接下来会发生什么。你有多少存款?

A：大概足够支持我生活3个月的。可是我真不想把存款都花在日常生活上。我想做点投资。

B：嗯，你不可能什么都占着。咱们算算如果你失业了该怎么办。你房租的合同什么时候到期?

A：下个月。所有，我要么搬出去，要么在续签一年的合同。

B：哦，那好办了。如果你被炒了，你就搬过来跟我一起住，直到你找到新工作。这样可以帮你省一笔钱。

A：你真是太好了。我觉得这样行得通。

B：如果你真失业了，你恐怕要有几个月不能再买你平常爱买的那些杂七杂八的东西了。如果你过得节俭一点，也能省下不少钱。

A：我也觉得上班挣这么多钱使我变得有些贪心了。也许失业反倒是件好事!
