【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Oh, I'm fed up with my job.
M: Hey, there's a perfect job for you in the paper today. You might be interested.
W: Oh, what is it? What do they want?
M: Wait a minute. Uh, here it is. The European Space Agency is recruiting translators.
W: The European Space Agency?
M: Well, that's what it says. They need an English translator to work from French or German.
W: So they need a degree in French or German, I suppose. Well, I've got that. What's more, I have plenty of experience. What else are they asking for?
M: Just that. A university degree and three or four years of experience as a translator in a professional environment. They also say the person should have a lively and inquiring mind, effective communication skills and the ability to work individually or as a part of the team.
W: Well, if I stay at my present job much longer, I won't have any mind or skills left. By the way, what about salary? I just hope it isn't lower than what I get now.
M: It's said to be negotiable. It depends on the applicant's education and experience. In addition to basic salary, there's a list of extra benefits. Have a look yourself.
W: Hm, travel and social security plus relocation expenses are paid. Hey, this isn't bad. I really want the job.
