a jobless man wanted very much to have the position of "office boy" at Microsoft.翻译
A jobless man wanted very much to have the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the form to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you don’t have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isn’t living cannot have the job.”
The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do with only $10 in his pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He repeated the operation three times, and started to go early every day, and returned home late. Shortly, he bought a cart , then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles(运货车队). Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商) in the US.
One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail. He said, “I haven’t got one.” His friend couldn’t believe his ears. “Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”
一个失业的男孩很想有个“微软白领”的职位.人事经理面试他,并且看着他打扫地板,作为测试.“你已经通过了测试,”他说.“给我你的e-mail邮址,我会给你填好表格发给你的.”男孩回答说,“我没有电脑,也没有一个电子邮件.”“对不起,”人事经理说.“如果你没有一个电子邮件,这意味着你不是活着的,任何不活着的人是不能获得工作的.
那人留下的希望都没有了,他不知道该做什么,口袋里只有10美元.他想了又想,然后他去超市买了10公斤的西红柿,他挨家挨户卖西红柿.在不到两小时的时间,他就有20美元了.他这样重复三次,然后开始每天早出晚归这样去做.不久,他买了车,然后卡车,然后他有了自己的运输车队(运货车队).五年后,这个人成为美国最大的食品零售商之一了.
有一天,他的一个朋友向他要电子邮件.他说,“我一个也没有”,他朋友简直不相信自己的耳朵,你能想象你要是有电子邮件的话会如何?他想了一会儿回答说,“是的,我会成为微软办公室文员!”
其实楼上翻译的基本上正确,稍微有点不通,可能用软件翻译的
