The Devil Wears Prada-1

section 1: The devil shows up

I have a appointment with Emily.

Great. Human resources certainly has an odd sense of humor.Follow me.I’m Miranda’s second assisstant but her first assissant recently got promoted.so I’m the first.

Oh,you’re replacing yourself.(代替自己之前的位置)

Well,Im trying.Miranda sacked(开除) the last two girls after only a few weeks.We need to find someone who can survive here,Do you understand?

Of course.who’s Miranda?

I will pretend you did not just ask me that.She is the editor in chief(主编) of Runway.not to mention a legend.You work a year for her,you can get a job at any magazine Million girls would kill for(渴望) this job

It sounds like a great oppotunity,I’d love to be considered.(我希望被选中)

Runway is a fashion magazine so interest in fashion is crucial(重要的).

What makes you think I’m not interested in fashion.(你怎么知道我对时尚不感兴趣)

NO,NO,NO

What’s wrong?

She’s on her way(在路上), tell everyone.

She’s not supposed (不应该) to be here util 9:00

Her driver just texted me a message.and her facialist(美容师) ruptured a disk（腰间盘突出） .GOD,thst people.

Who’s that? (那是谁)

That I can’t even talk about.（我不想提了）

All right.everyone, ==grid your loins（勒紧腰身）,Did someone eat an onion bagel?(谁吃洋葱圈了)

Move it.(快点)

I don’t understand why it’s so diffcult to confirm an appointment.(确认预约)

I know.I’m sorry,I actually did confirm last night.

Details of your incompetence do not interest me,tell Simone I’m not going to approve that girl thst she sent me for the Brazilian layout （板块），I asked for clean,atheletic,smiling.she sent me a dirty ,tired and paunchy(胖的).

yes, to the Michael kors party.I want the driver to drop me off(让我下车) at 9:30 and pick me up（接我） at 9:45 sharp, Then call Natalie at Glorious Foods,tell her no for the 40th time（强调多次）,I don’t want dacquoise.I want tortes filled with warm rhubarb compote.

Then call my ex-husband and remind him the parent-teacher conference(家长会) is at Dalton tonight.Then call my husband ,ask him to please meet me for dinner at that place I went to with Massimo.

Also,tell Richard I saw all the pictures that he sent for that feature(特写) on the female paratroopers（伞兵） and they’re all so deeply unattractive.Is it possible to find a lovely,slender female paratrooper?

Am i reaching for the stars here?（是我要求太高了吗）

Also,I need to see all the things that Nigel has pulled for Gweenth’s second cover try(封面试镜).I wonder if she’s lost any of that weight,Who’s that?

Nobody.human resources sent her up(送她来的) about the new assisant job.and i was pre-interviewing her for you.but she is hopeless(不能胜任) and totally wrong（不合适） for it

It’s clearly I’m going to do that myself because the last two girl you sent me were completely inadequate(能力不足).So sent her in,That’s all.
