随机应变

(suíjīyīnɡbiàn) 

A: I have an interview very early tomorrow morning. If I leave as soon as I'm done my makeup, then I will definitely hit the morning rush hour. 

我明天早晨很早有一场面试。如果我化完妆再出发的话一定会赶上早高峰。

(wǒmínɡtiān zǎochén hěnzǎo yǒuyīchǎnɡ miànshì. rúɡuǒ wǒ huàwán zhuānɡ zàichūfā de huà yīdìnɡ huìɡǎnshànɡ zǎoɡāofēnɡ.) 

B: Where is the place for the interview? is it very far?                         

面试的地方在哪里？很远吗？

(miànshì de dìfānɡ zài nǎlǐ? hěnyuǎn ma?) 

A: Yeah. It's on the other side of the city. I have to take the subway for more than an hour to get there, and I have to wear high heels.                     

是的。在城市的另一端。我需要坐一个多小时的地铁才能到,何况我还得穿高跟鞋。

(shìde.zàichénɡshì de lìnɡyīduān. wǒ xūyào zuòyīɡè duō xiǎoshí de dìtiě cáinénɡ dào, hékuànɡ wǒ háiděi chuān ɡāoɡēnxié.)   

B: You have to adapt. If there are too many people during rush hour, you can leave earlier. If high heels are uncomfortable, you can bring a pair of sneakers.                          

你要随机应变一些。早高峰人太多,早点出发。高跟鞋不舒服就带双运动鞋。
