Conversation
Chris Hello?
喂?
Kyle May I speak with Chris, please.
請問我方便與克里斯講話嗎
Chris This is Chris.
我就是克里斯。
Kyle Hi. My name is Kyle. I have
emailed you about your farmstay
and I wanted to call to ask a few
more questions.
嗨。我是凱爾。我寄了電子郵件給您,
談有關農場打工的事,我想打電話請教你幾個問題。
Chris Oh, yes, I remember your email.
How can I help you?
哦,是,我記得你的電子郵件。
我能幫你什麼忙?
Kyle What specific jobs are you looking
for help with? It sounds like most
of it is pretty physical.
你在尋找什麼工作的幫手?
聽起來好像很多都是勞力的工作。
Chris Well, we’re a bigger operation
than most. We can offer almost
anything you want. I could use
some help fixing fences, if you’re
willing. How are you with a
hammer?
嗯,我們比大多數公司的規模更大。
你想要的任何工作,我們幾乎都可以提供。
如果你願意,我在固定圍欄方面需要一些幫助。
你知道如何使用鐵鎚嗎?
Kyle I’ve never used one, but I learn
quickly. I can lift pretty heavy
things, if that helps.
我從來沒有用過鐵鎚,但我學得很快。
我可以舉起相當重的東西,如果這有幫助的話。
Chris Some of our work is heavy lifting.
One of our jobs right now is
screening produce. The produce
dries on very large screens in the
sun. They aren’t heavy to move,
but it’s a two person job because
of their size.
我們有些工作是吃力的。現在就有個職缺是曬農產品。
在大太陽底下,要將農產品放在非常大的篩子板上曬
乾。它們不會重到搬不動,但因為它們的大小,這是兩
個人的工作。
Kyle I could help with that. You also
mentioned you need help with the
animals.
我可以幫忙。你也提到你需要有人幫忙看管動物。
Chris Yes, feeding the young ones is
time-consuming. If you’d like,
you could learn how to deliver
lambs.
是的,餵養動物小寶寶非常耗時。如果你願意,你可以
學習如何接生小羊。
Kyle I would love to learn that!
我超愛學習這種事的!
Chris We’ll be pretty busy for a couple
of months, delivering them. We
also make and sell cheese.
我們將會有一兩個月非常忙著接生。我們也製作、銷售
乳酪。
Kyle That sounds interesting, too. If
you don’t mind having to teach
me a few things, I would be a very
willing learner.
那聽起來也很有趣。如果你不介意必須教我一些東西,
我非常樂意學習。
Chris We like to teach as much as we
can to the people who come to
work here.
我們樂意盡可能教導來這裡工作的人。
Kyle It sounds like this would be a
great experience. Thank you for
the information.
聽起來這似乎將是一個很棒的經驗。感謝您的訊息。
Chris You’re more than welcome.
Goodbye.
不用客氣啦。再見。
