（单词翻译）

 　　Jonas: How’s your new job?

　　Crystal: It’s not a job exactly. It’s an internship2.
　　Jonas: Oh, so you’re working as somebody’s lackey3 and getting paid a pittance4.
　　Crystal: No, not exactly. I’m doing a lot of scut work and I’m not getting paid a lot, but I’m getting very valuable on- the-job experience.
　　Jonas: Sure you are. You’re learning how to fetch coffee and run errands. Yippee! You don’t have to tell me any more. I know all about it. It’s slave labor5.
　　Crystal: No, it’s not! I’m shadowing one of the managers part of the day and I sit in on important meetings all the time. My mentor6 shows me how things are done in the business world and gives me great career advice.
　　Jonas: Well, then you’re lucky. Most interns1 who work for our company learn diddly squat7 and spend their time doing menial work. Some of them are even unpaid8. What a racket!
　　Crystal: In that case, I’m glad I don’t work for your company!
