And I didn't really want to jump over these hurdles, because they seemed completely arbitrary, so I often wouldn't, and then people would threaten me, you know, they'd threaten me with this "going on [my] permanent record," or "You'll never get a good job."
Et je ne voulais pas vraiment franchir ces obstacles, car ils semblaient complètement arbitraires, donc je refusais de le faire, et les gens me menaçaient, ils menaçaient « cela sera noté dans ton dossier » ou « tu n'auras jamais un bon travail ».
