situation ：


talking about ...occupations(job)

討論有關工作




conversation↓
===========================================

Doug : How's your new job (going) Andy ?

Andy : Not bad. The people I work with are great, but my supervisor's a bit strict.

Doug : Really? Mine,too. If I'm just one minute late for work, he tells me off.
       And if my uniform isn't neat he gives me a hard time as well.

Andy : My boss is really strict about punctuality, too.
       But luckily I don't have to wear a uniform.
       That's part of the reason why I like working at Records.

Doug : Plus you get to listen to music all day long! Nice job!

Andy : There's more to it than that, Doug. I have to deal with the customers catalog the stock,
       order items from distributors -there's quite alot to it.

Doug : I know, I'm only kidding. It beats working in a fast food restaurant, that's for sure.
       When I get home from work, I smell like fried food. It's very horrible.

Andy : How do you get along with the people (who) you work with ?

Doug : They're fine, apart from my supervisor. But the money's pretty bad.

Andy : How much (money) do you make an hour ?

Doug : 55$. How's the pay at your job?

Andy : I get 65 an hour. I work about 15 hours a week.

Doug : That's pretty good. So, not only do you have a better job than me,
       but (also) you get paid more than I do on top of it!
       Are there any vacancies at the record store?


===========================================

Chinese translation
===========================================

Doug : Andy 你的新工作做得如何呢 ?

Andy : 不錯呀。 我跟同事處的蠻好的，只是我的老闆有點嚴厲。

Doug : 真的 ? 我也是耶。 如果我在工作上只有遲到一分鐘，他就責罵我。
       還有如果我的制服不是很整潔，他就讓我難堪。

Andy : 我的上司對準時也是很嚴厲的。但幸運的是，我不需要穿制服，這也是部分的原因，我為什麼會在唱片行工作。

Doug : 除此之外你還可以聽整天的音樂! 很好的工作呢。
Andy : 我工作過於聽音樂啊，Doug。我必須處理客戶的儲存目錄，清點中盤商的物品，這樣工作相當的多啊。
Doug : 我知道，我也只是說笑而已。我在速食餐廳工作累壞了，真的，當我下班回家，聞到像是油炸食物，就覺得很可怕。
Andy : 那麼你跟你同事相處如何？
Doug : 處得很好呀，但不包括我的老闆，薪水也實在很糟糕。
Andy : 那你一小時賺多少錢？
Doug : 55塊美元，那麼你呢？
Andy : 我65塊美元，我一星期工作15小時。
Doug : 那樣非常好了，所以不僅你的工作比我好，除此之外你賺的錢也比我多，你們唱片公司有在缺人嗎？
