外派海外工作—浮華背后的心酸

瘋狂英語·口語版 2015年6期

Steve: Hey Laura, what are you doing back in China, and at a job fair no less?

Laura: It’s a long story…How about you Steve? How has life in Guangzhou been treating you?

Steve: Well, the job market’s same as ever—lots of jobs, tons of competition. But who cares about all that. Tell me about the European market, and how it all compares to living and working here in China.

Laura: Not much to tell really…

Steve: ①C’mon, stop holding out on me! Whatever it is, it can’t be that bad, can it?

Laura: You have no idea. I never felt so worthless and 1)discriminated against.

Steve: Really? You faced a lot of racism in Italy?

Laura: I faced a lot of challenges in Italy. Racism was probably the least of my problems.

Steve: Will you stop hinting at what happened and just spill it?

Laura: Well, first off, the food was to die for. The coffee was strong and 2)indulgent. ②The men were all very friendly and 3)flirty, and the scenic views were out of this world! But living and working there proved to be much harder than I had 4)anticipated.

Steve: This is like pulling teeth…Just tell me what happened already!

Laura: OK. I got a job working for a Chinese company that produces 5)solar panels and related equipment. And then they choose me for a position they had in Italy, probably because I’m under-30 and still single with no kids.

Steve: Yeah, that probably had something to do with it…

Laura: At that time, I was making a good 20,000 Yuan per month at the company’s headquarters in Shenzhen. But they offered me 20,000 US Dollars to work at their Italian base.

Steve: Woah! That’s a nice chunk of change. ③Seems like you could start up a good nest egg with that kind of salary.

Laura: That was the plan. ④But you know what they say about plans, right? “Man plans, God laughs.”

Steve: So I take it things didn’t go according to plan?

Laura: Very 6)perceptive Sherlock!

Steve: Alright, I deserve that.

Laura: Can I continue?

Steve: Please.

Laura: So, you know how when overseas workers come to China, their companies arrange everything for them.

Steve: Yeah, it’s common practice.

Laura: Well, that’s not the case for China’s 7)outbound expats. I had to handle all my food, 8)accommodations, visa issues, even training! It was 9)ridiculous.

Steve: So how did you survive not being able to communicate with anyone?

Laura: It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, and a truly pride-swallowing experience. Because the locals didn’t trust me, it took weeks to find a landlord who’d rent to me, and the only apartment I could afford was a tiny,10)run-down, one-bedroom flat.

Steve: That’s crazy! Wha! How much was the rent?

Laura: 700 Euros a month.

Steve: 700, times eight-and-a-half, that’s…That’s over 6000 Yuan! For that kind of cash, you could rent a 200-meter place with like four or five bedrooms here in Guangzhou.

Laura: (sigh) I know…I’ve gotta say, it feels great to be back home. And I plan on staying here for the 11)foreseeable future.

史蒂夫:嘿,勞拉,你回國做什么,怎么又去招聘會了?

勞拉:說來話長……你呢,史蒂夫?你在廣州的生活怎么樣?

史蒂夫:好吧,求職市場還是和從前一樣——職位很多但卻競爭激烈。但是誰關心那些呢。告訴我歐洲求職市場的情況,以及與中國相比,那里的生活和工作環境怎么樣。

勞拉:真的沒什么可說的……

史蒂夫:來吧,別跟我隱瞞什么!不管怎樣,不可能那么糟糕,不是嗎?

勞拉:你根本無法想象。我從來沒有感到那么沒有價值、飽受歧視。

史蒂夫:真的嗎?你在意大利受到了很多種族歧視嗎?

勞拉:我在意大利要面對許多挑戰,種族歧視也許是我最小的一個問題。

史蒂夫:你能別再暗示直接告訴我發生了什么嗎?

勞拉:好吧,首先,那里的食物好吃得要死,咖啡濃郁可口。那里的男人都很友好而且愛調情,景色美翻了!但是事實證明,在那里生活和工作比我預想的要困難得多。

史蒂夫:這就像拔牙那樣折磨我……你只要告訴我發生了什么事!

勞拉:好的。我在中國一家生產太陽能電池板以及相關設備的公司謀得一職。他們選擇我去擔任他們在意大利的一個職務,也許是因為我沒過30歲、還單身、沒有孩子吧。

史蒂夫:嗯,可能跟這有點關系……

勞拉:當時我正在公司的深圳總部每個月賺兩萬元。但是他們給我兩萬美元的薪酬去意大利的分公司。

史蒂夫:哇!這真是個不錯的轉變。有了那樣的薪酬,看起來你可以開始存一筆不少的錢了。

勞拉:這是我的計劃。但是你知道人們怎么說計劃的,對吧?“計劃趕不上變化。”

史蒂夫:所以我可以理解為事情沒有按計劃進行?

勞拉:你真的像神探夏洛克那樣思維敏捷。

史蒂夫:好吧,我確實如此。

勞拉:我能繼續嗎?

史蒂夫:請。

勞拉:那么,你應該知道當外派員工來到中國,他們的公司會給他們安排好一切。

史蒂夫:嗯,這是慣例。

勞拉:好吧,中國的外派員工卻沒有這樣的待遇。我得處理自己的食宿、簽證、甚至培訓的事情!這太荒謬了。

史蒂夫:那么你是如何在語言不通的情況下在那里生存下來的?

勞拉:這是我做過的最困難的事,也真的是一個失去尊嚴的經歷。因為當地人不信任我,我花了好幾個星期才找到一個愿意租房給我的房東,而我能負擔起的唯一一間公寓是一個狹小的、破舊的、一室的房子。

史蒂夫:太夸張啦!哇!租金多少呢?

勞拉:700歐元一個月。

史蒂夫:700再乘以8.5,那就是……那就是6000多元!這個租金你能在廣州租到一個200平方米4室或者5室的房子了。

勞拉:(嘆氣)我知道……我得說,回家的感覺很好。未來的這段時間我會留在這里。
