1. A: So where do you work now, Phil? B: I’m working at a night club downtown. A: Hey, that’s kind of interesting. Are you the manager or something? B: Oh, yeah! Right! Actually I play the drums in the band. A: Oh! How long have you been playing the drums? B: Well, only for two weeks! But I’m learning real fast.
2. A: Where do you work, Ted? B: At a hotel. I’m with the Grand City Towers. A: Oh, yeah? Do you like it? B: It’s pretty good. I get to meet some really interesting people. A: Oh, are you the manager? B: Well, not yet. I’m still carrying bags, but I’m sure I’ll be manager before long.
3. A: So you work for a TV producer. That must be interesting work. B: It’s okay. A: And what kind of work do you do? B: Well, I’m on the road a lot. A: Oh, yeah—a kind of personal secretary? B: Well, not quite—I drive her to work.
4. A: So you work in an office? B: That’s right. A: How do you like it? B: Well, it’s pretty boring. A: Oh, yeah? What do you do there? B: Oh, I type, answer the phone, that sort of thing. And it really doesn’t pay much. A: So why do you stay there? B: I like my co-workers.
5. A: Where do you work? B: I work for the city newspaper. A: Really? B: Yeah. I write about sports. Have you read any of my stories? A: Maybe. Say—what’s your name again? B: Ted Grant. A: The Ted Grant? Can I have your autograph?
6. A: Are you still working in a bar on the weekend? B: That’s right. But I’m not working as a waitress anymore. A: Oh? B: Yeah. Now I’m working the cash register. A: Lucky you.

mm... 夜總會 in Taiwan has an implied meaning... Do you know what I mean? I think 俱樂部 might be a better choice. Or do you get any better idea?
MM~~ Good idea!! When people refer to 夜總會，they probably mean that there are girls who would dance with you or have sexual intercourse,,, That's what I thought about 夜總會。 ^^|| But 夜店 would be an excellent idea! Sandy

MM~ I see. I got a cousin who works as a manager in 夜 總會. So I know how it looks like... ^^ BTW, you are definitely right. Grave is a taboo in Chinese, so we all make fun of it by calling it 夜總會.
