Я прочитала в интернете, что при отравлении нужно пить побольше жидкости и есть сухари. Misha:Спасибо. Надеюсь меня скоро выпишут. У меня дел невпроворот. Врач сказал, что возможно, завтра к обеду можно будет поехать домой. Все покажут результаты УЗИ. Marina:Ты все еще выглядишь бледным. Лучше немного отлежаться. Misha:Кстати, я сегодня утром разговаривал с моим боссом и замолвил за тебя словечко. Он как раз ищет мне замену. Думаю, ты вполне могла бы занять мое место. По крайней мере в школе ты была намного умнее меня. Marina:Серьезно? Я уже собиралась следовать совету моей подруги, найти богатого мужа и благополучно стать домохозяйкой. Misha:Это ты всегда успеешь. Я конечно не гарантирую, что они тебя безоговорочно примут на работу. Ты должна будешь показать себя. Marina:Ну наконец-то свет в конце тоннеля.

Misha:Для начала, ты будешь моим ассистентом в том бизнес проекте по слиянию двух фирм, о котором мы недавно говорили. И по результатам нашей работы будет видно, примут они тебя на работу или нет. Marina:Хорошо! Давай выздоравливай скорей! Мне не терпится начать. ----Formal English---- Marina:Here's some compote and croutons. I read on the Internet that in case of food poisoning, it is necessary to drink more liquids and eat croutons. Misha:Thank you. I hope I'll be discharged from the hospital soon. I'm up to my ears in work. The doctor said that maybe I'll be able to go home tomorrow at lunch time. Everything depends on the ultrasound results. Marina:You still look pale. It is better to rest until you get better. Misha:By the way, this morning I talked to my boss and put in a good word for you. She's searching for a person who can replace me right now. I think you could take my place. At least at school you were much smarter than me. Marina:Are you serious? I was about to follow the safe advice of my friend and find a rich husband and become a housewife. Misha: I think you can always do that later. I can't guarantee that they will hire you right away. You will have to prove you are eligible and demonstrate all your strengths. Marina: Well, finally there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am run off my feet searching for any income. And here is the ideal opportunity, which is directly related to my specialization. How can I thank you. Misha:To begin with, you will be my assistant in that business project for the merger between the two companies, which we talked about recently. And from the results of our work they will decide whether to hire you or not. Marina: Good! Get well soon. I can't wait to start this job. --------------------------- Learn Russian with RussianPod101! Don't forget to stop by RussianPod101.com for more great Russian Language Learning Resources! [...]

Marina:Классно! Жду не дождусь. Misha:Побежали, нам нужно быть в ресторане к 7 часам, а уже 6;30. Думаю на такси мы доедем за минут 15, главное чтобы пробок не было. Marina:Поехали на метро, так будет вернее. В это время самый час пик на дорогах. Misha:Да. Ты права. Я, честно говоря, избегаю подземный транспорт после того террористического акта в метро. Теперь, всякий раз когда я захожу в метро, такое ощущение, как будто я иду по минному полю. У меня развилась некая форма фобии. Marina:Ты был в метро в тот день? Misha:Нет, но один из моих приятелей стал очевидцем, и даже с его слов у меня мурашки по коже. Marina:Да, насколько я знаю, произошло несколько взрывов, и пассажиры на других линиях не сразу были уведомлены об этом. Если бы оповещение и эвакуация были произведены своевременно было бы намного меньше жертв. Misha:Мда. Поехали все-таки на такси. Бережёного бог бережёт. ----Formal English---- Misha:Here are two tickets in the parquet circle for Saturday night. Marina:Cool! Can't wait! Misha:Hurry up, we have to be at the restaurant by 7pm, and now it's already 6.30. I think we can get there by taxi in 15 minutes. The most important thing is that there are no traffic jams. Marina:Let's go by metro, it will be safer. Now is peak hour on the roads. Misha:Yes. You're right. But honestly speaking, I've been avoiding subways since that terrorist act in the Moscow Metro. Now every time I enter the metro, I feel like I'm walking into a mine field. I have developed some kind of phobia. Marina:Were you in the metro that day? Misha:No, but someone I know witnessed it and even just from his words, I got goosebumps. Marina:Yes, as far as I know, there were several explosions, and the passengers on other lines were not immediately notified. If the notification and evacuation had happened ​​on time, there would've been far fewer victims. Misha:Hmm. Let's go by taxi after all. God takes care of those who take care of themselves. --------------------------- Learn Russian with RussianPod101!
