小敏，你面试的那家公司有消息了吗？
Xiǎomǐn，nǐ miànshì de nà jiā gōngsī yǒu xiāoxi le ma？
Xiao Min, did you hear back from that company you interviewed with?
没。我跟一起面试的一个女生交流过，说是人选已经定了，只要了2个男生。

No. I talked with the girl that I interviewed with. She said that a candidate has already been picked. They only wanted two men.
不会吧。你已经杀进第三轮面试了，而且考官不是对你印象蛮好的吗？

No way. You've already made your way to the third round of interviews, and didn't the interviewer give you a good impression?
哎，其实我们心里都清楚，同等条件下公司都是优先考虑男生的。
