金融口语：调往海外TransferringToTheOverseasOffice

ALLEN： What good news？

ROB： They chose you to be project assistant over in Chicago. Congratulations.

ALLEN： Yes， Mr. Tate told me before the meeting Tuesday.

ROB： Great. I bet you're excited， aren’t you？

ALLEN： I was quite surprised. But it isn't all for certain yet.

I told them I will accept， though， if they choose me.

ROB： You don't seem very happy about it. Why？

ALLEN： Maybe I'm a little nervous about making such a big move right now.

You know Nancy and I just bought a new house.

ROB： Have you told her yet？

ALLEN： I plan to talk with her about it tonight.

ROB： Chicago is a nice place.

And you both speak English well. Her English is excellent.

ALLEN： I know she doesn't want to be far from her family.

That will be the hardest part for her.

ROB： You're both young. A little adventure will be good for you.

ALLEN： Maybe.

ROB： Do you know how long the project over there will last？

ALLEN： Mr. Tate said I would probably be over there for two years.

But it could be more than that， too.

So I think two or three years， at least.

ROB： To be honest， I envy you.

I've never had a chance to work in one of the overseas’ offices.

I wish it were me who could go.

ALLEN： You're too important here， Rob. We wouldn’t be able to function here without you.

ROB： Maybe some time in the future I will be able to get a couple years overseas.

I really like that idea——changing one's life for awhile.

ALLEN： And your wife？

ROB： Oh， Carol is even more adventuresome than I am.

She would be thrilled if I got a transfer. She always talks about traveling more.

ALLEN： I've only been out of the country once in my life.

ROB： Well， living abroad would be a great experience for you then.

I think you should look forward to it.

ALLEN： I do look forward to it， but I'll have to talk it over with Nancy.

ROB： Good luck！

ALLEN： Thanks.
