《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。

This book can be a great help to you as you work to speak English more comfortably. Remember, though, that the best way to speak better English is to speak it often! If your goal is to work overseas where you will have to speak English, practice speaking it with your friends and fellow students as often as you can.

As I wrote this book, I was reminded of many of the trips I have taken overseas. I was inspired to do more traveling with my family in the future. Maybe we’ll do work travel on a farm someday, either in the USA or abroad. There is no better learning opportunity!

這本書可以給你很大的幫助， 在工作上得以更輕鬆的說英語。請記得，要說出更流利的英文就是需要能夠多多的說英文!假如你的目標是到海外工作，而且你的工作地點必須要說英文的話，你最好和你的朋友們與同學同伴們，常儘可能的練習講英文。

當我寫這本書時，我回憶起曾到國外旅遊的許多行程。我也很振奮的期待著，和我的家人在未來能有更多的旅遊時光。也許有一天我們可以到農場去打工旅遊，不論到美國或是其他的國家。這可是帶給人不可多得的學習機會啊！
