Hi, and I'm happy you've come in for the interview. Let's get right down to the point. Why are you applying for this position?

Ms. Li, you need to think long-term. Don't abandon future development over a moment's gain.
A 我希望您也能這樣想。因為我的堅持是有道理的。
wǒ xīwàng nín yě néng zhèyàng xiǎng. yīnwèi wǒ de jiānchí shì yǒu dàolǐ de.
I hope that you could do the same, because my perseverance is not without reason.
