Part A :

Hello, Marina Restaurant and Reception Rooms, how can l help you?

你好，这里是玛丽娜餐厅及宴会厅，有什么可以帮您？

I'm ringing about the advertisement I saw on the Internet.

我打电话是想问一下我在网上看到的那个招聘广告。

Uh, you were advertising for casual staff?

呃，你们是在招临时工吗？

Yes, that' s right. Just a moment, I' II put you through to the manager ...

是的，没错。请稍等，我帮您转接给经理……

sound of phone ring

电话铃声

I'm sorry, there 's no answer on her line.

抱歉，她的电话没人接。

Perhaps I can help you with some of the details and you could talk to her later.

也许我可以先帮您解答一些细节，您稍后再跟她谈。

Yeah, that' d be good.

好的，那太好了。

First of all, can you tell me what jobs are available?

首先，能告诉我有哪些职位空缺吗？

Well, we advertised for an assistant cook, a kitchen hand and a cleaner but the cook and the cleaner's positions have been filled already ...

嗯，我们登广告招助理厨师、厨房帮工和清洁工，不过厨师和清洁工的职位已经招满了……

Not to worry, I'm not qualified to cook anyway.

没关系，反正我也没资格做厨师。

I can barely make toast.

我连烤面包都勉强。

Well, we still have the kitchen hand job available.

嗯，我们厨房帮工的职位还空着。

Do you have any experience?

你有相关经验吗？

No, I haven' t worked as a kitchen hand before - what would I have to do?

没有，我以前没做过厨房帮工——我需要做些什么？

Mainly dishes - lots of dishwashing - and anything the chef tells you to do while he's preparing the meals.

主要是洗碗——大量的洗碗——还有厨师做饭时让你做的其他事。

We get pretty busy, so you'd have to be able to deal with some pressure,

我们这里挺忙的，所以你得能承受一定的压力，

and there's a fair bit of noise and shouting sometimes too.

而且有时候也挺吵，还会有人喊叫。

You'd be responsible for making salads and other cold platters.

你还要负责做沙拉和其他冷盘。

I could do that. How many shifts would I have to work every week?

这个我可以做。我每周要上几个班？

A minimum of two and a maximum of five - we' re open seven days a week,

最少两个班，最多五个班——我们一周七天都营业，

and our casual staff are usually asked to do a lot of weekend shifts.

我们的临时工通常会被安排很多周末的班。

You probably won't have to do many Mondays or Tuesdays,

你大概不用上很多周一或周二的班，

but you'll have to be able to work on Friday nights - that's our biggest day of the week.

但周五晚上你得能来上班——那是我们一周中最忙的一天。

Mmm, there goes my social life.

嗯，我的社交生活就这么没了。

Sorry?

抱歉，你说什么？

Nothing. I was wondering what the pay is like.

没什么。我想知道工资怎么样。

It's very good really.

其实挺不错的。

The youth rate is $15 an hour ...

青年工资是每小时15美元……

Oh, I didn't ask - how old are you?

哦，我还没问——你多大了？

22.

22.

Well, that's an even better rate - over 18 we pay $18.50 an hour - and that includes a meal if you work a five - hour shift.

嗯，那个时薪更高——18 岁以上我们每小时付 18.50 美元——而且如果你上五小时的班，还包含一顿饭。

I like the sound of that. What time is the meal break?

听起来不错。用餐休息是什么时候？

It' s very early - before you actually start work -at 5 o'clock.

时间很早——在你实际开始工作之前——五点钟。

Oh£¬and I should tell you,

哦，我还得告诉你，

if you are even 5 minutes late, you won't get any dinner at all.

哪怕你迟到五分钟，就完全吃不上晚饭了。

The chef is very strict about that.

厨师对这点非常严格。

You need to start your meal at five because you have to begin work promptly at 5.30 p.m.

你必须在五点开始用餐，因为你得在下午五点半准时开工。

I' II be sure to get there before five then I'm always starving in the afternoon and I don' t mind early I eat dinner.

那我一定会在五点前赶到，我下午总是很饿，而且我不介意早点吃晚饭。

Part B :

Aah, I have a question - would I need to wear a uniform of some sort?

啊，我有个问题——我需要穿某种制服吗？

Not as such ...

也不完全是……

but you' ll need a good strong pair of shoes,

不过你需要一双结实的好鞋，

not sneakers (that' s in case you drop something on your foot),

不是运动鞋（这是为了防止有东西砸到你的脚），

a clean shirt and trousers ...

一件干净的衬衫和长裤……

and the restaurant provides you with a long white apron and a cap.

餐厅会给你提供一条白色长围裙和一顶帽子。

When can I start?

我什么时候可以开始？

Not so fast - you' II have to formally apply to the manager first - but I can tell you that the position becomes available on Monday,

别急——你得先正式向经理申请——不过我可以告诉你，这个职位周一开始可以上岗，

the 14th of November - that' s when we really start to get busy - in the lead up to Christmas and the holiday season.

也就是11月14日——那正是我们真正开始忙起来的时候——在圣诞节和假期临近之际。

When can I see the manager?

我什么时候能见经理？

Umm, let me see, I have her diary here ...

嗯，让我看看，我这儿有她的日程表……

What about tomorrow at 11 a.m.?

明天上午11点怎么样？

Not really, not unless I skip class - is there something later in the day?

恐怕不行，除非我翘课——当天晚些时候有别的时段吗？

4.30 p.m.?

下午4点半？

Would that do?

那个时间行吗？

Yeah, great, so that' s 4.30 tomorrow,

好的，太好了，那就是明天下午4点半，

Thursday, with ... uh, what' s her name?

周四，跟……呃，她叫什么名字来着？

Oh, the manager, yes ...

哦，经理，对……

her name is Lola Barrie.

她叫洛拉·巴里。

Just a minute, while I write that down ...B-A-double-R-Y?

稍等，我记一下……B-A-两个R-Y？

There's no 'Y' ... It's B-A-R-R-I-E.

没有“Y”……是B-A-R-R-I-E。

Lola Barrie.

洛拉·巴里。

I've got it now.

我记好了。

Good.

You've got her name but l haven't got yours!

你知道了她的名字，可我还不知道你的！

Jack Lee -that's L-E-E.

杰克·李——是L-E-E。

Thanks, Jack. When you come to meet with Ms Barrie tomorrow,

谢谢，杰克。你明天来见巴里女士的时候，

bear in mind that she'll want to know all about your work history to have so you'll need your CV.

记住，她会想了解你的全部工作经历，所以你需要带上简历。

If you have one, we'd really like to see a reference as well,

如果你有推荐信的话，我们也很想看一看，

so bring that with you, if you can.

如果可以的话，把它一起带来。

If you haven't got one, then we'll need a referee's name and a phone number instead.

如果你没有的话，那我们就需要一位证明人的姓名和电话号码。

Oh, and one more thing...

哦，还有一件事……

What's that?

什么事？

She'll probably ask you about your eligibility to work in this country so bring your passport and, if you have one, your tax number.

她可能会问你在这个国家的工作资格，所以请带上你的护照；如果有的话，还要带上你的税号。

Thank you, you've been really helpful.

谢谢，你真是帮了大忙。
