Почему у тебя такой осунувшийся вид? Marina:Все нормально. Не бери в голову. Я просто немного устала. А ты, я смотрю, в прекрасной форме. Так и светишься от счастья. Misha:Заметно да? Меня просто переполняют эмоции. Даже не верится, что через полгода я переезжаю в Лондон. Marina:Только не зазнайся там. Misha:Ну что ты. Я не такой. Хотя с такой заплатой и позицией трудно не потерять голову. Эээ ... Ты что плачешь? Marina:Прости, что не могу разделить твою радость. Слезы сами покатились из глаз. Просто у меня проблемы с работой и я уже 3 месяца топчусь на месте, безрезультатно пытаясь устроиться хоть на какую-либо работу. Misha:Почему ты мне раньше не сказала? Marina:Долгая история... Поначалу думала, что это пустяковое дело, и я не останусь без работы, а потом просто было стыдно признаться, что никому я не нужна. Misha:Ерунда. Ты просто стучишься не в те двери. ----Formal English---- Misha:What happened? Why are you looking so haggard? Marina:It's fine. Don't worry about it. I'm just a little bit tired. And you, as I can see, are fit as a flea. And glowing with happiness. Misha:Is it that noticeable? I am just overwhelmed with emotion. I can't even believe that in six months I'm moving to London. Marina:Just don't be too bold. Misha:Well, I'm not like that. Although with such a salary and position, it's hard not to lose your head. Uh...Are you crying? Marina:I'm sorry that I can't share your joy. The tears came by themselves. I'm just having job problems and I have been going around in circles for 3 months already, trying in vain to find any job. Misha:Why didn't you tell me before? Marina:Long story... At first I thought it would be a pushover, and I would not stay jobless for long. And then I was just ashamed to admit that nobody needed me. Misha:Nonsense. You're just knocking on the wrong doors. --------------------------- Learn Russian with RussianPod101!
