What is the most boring job you've ever had?How did you do at it?

　　你曾做過的最無聊的工作是什么?你是怎么對待的?

　　I don't really think I've ever had a boring job,but if I have to choose one,it would probably be the winter job I had at a post office when I was in high school.

　　我并不覺得過去有哪些工作很無聊，不過，如果我必須選擇一個的話，那可能就是我高中寒假時在郵局的那份工作。

　　The job involved sorting New Year's postcards for delivery for eight hours a day every day for about a month.

　　工作內(nèi)容是投遞賀年卡前的分類工作，在大約一個月的時間里，每天都要工作八小時。

　　I don't know how it is done now,but back then it was all done manually.

　　我不知道現(xiàn)在郵局是怎樣分類的，但是那時候全部都是靠手工來完成。

　　I got the knack immediately,so I had to make it more interesting and challenging for myself—I timed myself sorting the postcards and every time I tried to finish faster and faster.

　　我很快就學(xué)會了分類的技巧，所以我必須讓這個工作變得更有趣，更有挑戰(zhàn)性才行。我計算我分卡片的時間，每次我都試著比上一次更快完成。

　　The full-time worker who supervised me was impressed and said I was the fastest and also the most accurate.

　　負責(zé)指導(dǎo)監(jiān)督我的郵局員工對此印象深刻，并且說我是做得最快也最精確的。

　　It was a great experience for a high school student.

　　對高中生而言，那是一次非常棒的經(jīng)歷。

　　當被問及這類問題時，你可以回答“I have never had a boring job.”,也可以舉出一些與應(yīng)聘職位無關(guān)的工作經(jīng)歷。
