大家好，欢迎来到 BBC 英语教学的《地道英语》节目。我是冯菲菲。XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Rob
And hello, it's Rob here too. Oh Feifei, why the glum face?XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Feifei
I didn't get it.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Rob
Get it?XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Feifei
I didn’t get the job.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Rob
Oh yes, the job. You went for a new job, one you really really wanted. One that you said you would be perfect for.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Feifei
Clearly I’m not. 你看我收到的回绝信上说“经验不足”。But if I don't do the job, how do I get the experience?XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Rob
Oh dear, it sounds like catch-22.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Feifei
Catch-22 是什么？是什么证书吗？XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Rob
Nope, it just describes a situation where you can't win. Basically, you can't do one thing until you have done another thing – which you can't do until you have done the first thing.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Feifei
So it's an impossible situation. 原来“catch-22”这个说法出自英文小说“Catch-22《第二十二条军规》”，它在现代用语中表示“左右为难，无法摆脱的困境”。XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Rob
Let's hear some examples of this phrase in action.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Examples
I need my parent's car, but my mum says I need permission from my dad, then my dad says I need permission from my mum. I can't get permission from either. So I'm in a catch-22 situation.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
To apply for a short-term student visa to study English in the UK, you have to be able to speak some English, but you want to come to England to learn English! It's catch-22 for many potential students.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Feifei
这里是 BBC 英语教学的《地道英语》节目。Rob 刚才说我现在处于一个“catch-22 situation”，也就是说我进退两难，怎么都不是。XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Rob
Yes Feifei, you can't get a new job without some experience of doing it, but you can't get the experience without doing the job. It's catch-22!XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Feifei
It's a strange phrase, Rob.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Rob
Yes, as you mentioned earlier, it comes from a title of a book - Catch-22, written by Joseph Heller in 1961, which describes absurd bureaucratic constraints on soldiers in World War II.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
But look Feifei, don't be too sad about the job, you've got plenty of experience for doing this job.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Feifei
That's because I've been here for 40 years.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Rob
But we respect you for your expertise, especially in one task.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Feifei
What's that?XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Rob
Making the tea. Now could you put the kettle on please?XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Feifei
Oh, I really need a new job.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
Rob
Bye.XyL台州翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
