Conversation Two
對話二
W: Alan, you used to be a baker?
W: 艾倫,你曾經做過面包師?
M: Yes, I did.
M: 是的。
W: That's pretty cool. Can you make anything, like bread, cake?
W: 太棒了。那你能做面包或蛋糕之類的東西嗎?
M: Yeah. My specialty. What I did a lot of was different varieties of bread, such as white bread, sour dough, Italian bread and French bread and so on.
M: 當然,這是我的拿手戲。我曾經做過各式各樣的糕點,比如說白面包,酸面包,意式面包和法式面包等。
W: Oh, sounds good. What is the routine of a baker? Do you have to get up early, or how does that work?
W: 聽起來真誘人。一位面包師的日常生活是怎樣的?你需要每天早起嗎,或者你覺得這份工作如何?
M: Yes. Generally most bakeries, especially bakeries that sell bread, they start operations very early in the morning.
M: 沒錯。大多數烘焙師,尤其是需要售賣面包的師傅們,他們很早就起床開始工作啦。
W: Why?
W: 為什么?
M: If you want to get the bread out as early as possible, bread bakers must start at 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. They'll come in and open up the shop. They'll get everything going, fire up the ovens and start mixing the bread dough. So the bakery can open at 8 in the morning, and the customers get fresh baked bread.
M: 如果想讓面包盡早出爐,面包師們需要凌晨3、4點鐘就開始準備。來到店鋪后開門營業。將需要的東西準備好,把烤箱預熱后讓面團發酵。這樣才能保證在早上8點鐘準時營業,顧客也能買到新鮮的面包。
W: So a baker is really diligent. And what would you say is the best thing about being a baker?
W: 所以面包師們真的很辛苦。你覺得身為一名面包師最驕傲的一點是什么?
M: The best thing about being a baker would be making all those fancy desserts. I enjoyed that part of baking, making those kinds of products.
M: 我覺得應該是可以制作出各式各樣的甜點。我很享受制作各種點心的這一過程。
W: Was there anything that you did not like about being a baker?
W: 那作為一名面包師有沒有不順心之處?
M: Pretty much, specifically, I didn't like the working hours. The actual work was not bad but the working hours and the pay were not so good.
M: 那太多了,尤其是工作時間。面包師的這一工作性質還算可以,但工作時間不規律,報酬也不是很高。
W: OK, well, still you'd have to love that smell of fresh bread every day.
W: 嗯,好的,但你還是喜歡每天沉浸在面包的香氣里。
M: I did enjoy that.
M: 是的,我很喜歡。
