DIALOGUE 75
Parttime Work
1--How many hours a week are you working at the
moment?
2--Erm--well I'm working Monday to Friday...
plus...
1---Is it...are you working more at the moment?
2--Yes, I'm doing three, well I usually do three
evenings a week, but the evenings, erm. that
I'm working are usually a little bit longer
than any other time of the year, and I will
do the occasional Saturday, 'cause obviously
Saturday's a popular day.
===================================
注解:
1)occasional:偶尔的,非经常的。注意这句话中文
与英文的说法区别很大。
2)'cause=because
3)a popular day:原义指星期六是假日,顾客较多,
因而商店,餐馆也需打工的学生干活。译文与原文略有
不同。
===================================
译文
1--目前,你一个星期工作多少个小时?
2--哦,我从星期一到星期五工作,加上...
1--是吗?你目前工作时间较多吧?
2--是的,我现在一个星期有三个晚上打工.我通常
也是一星期三个晚上打工。不过眼下晚上工作的
时间比其它季节晚上时间要长些。偶尔星期六也
干活,因为显然星期六工作好找。
