</row>
<row>
	<entry/>
	<entry>Why not? Some people study like mad at a university, like Mr. Zhōu who lives across from us; he’s such an expert in mathematics, he’s got a Master’s degree and a Ph.D., and isn’t he still unable to find a job!</entry>

</row>
<row>
	<entry/>
	<entry>Mr. Zhou’s situation is different from other people’s. Although he is quite knowledgeable, he won’t take a Job he doesn’t like. So of course it isn’t easy for him to find a job.</entry>

	<entry/>
	<entry>Right. He doesn’t like to be a teacher, he just likes to write articles. I’ve even seen his articles in the weekly High School Student!</entry>

</row>
<row>
	<entry/>
	<entry>Yes, but they’re not easy to understand. They’re too hard for high school students to read.</entry>

<row>
	<entry>A:</entry>
	<entry><foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Suóyi, nǐ bù néng shuō Zhōu Xianshengde qíngxing jiù shi dàjiāde qíngxing.

	<entry><foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Hani">所以，你不能说周先生的情形就是大家的情形。我想，可以这样说：念过很多书的人不一定有很好的工作。可是多念一点儿书对找工作一定有帮助。</foreignphrase></entry>
</row>
<row>
	<entry/>
	<entry>So you can’t say that Mr. Zhou’s situation is everyone's situation. I think you might say this: someone who has had a lot of education doesn't necessarily get a very good job. But getting more education will certainly be helpful in looking for a job.</entry>
