Todd: Some students might not know what an internship is. Can you explain what an internship is?
托德：有些學生可能不知道實習是什么。你能解釋一下什么是實習嗎？
Katia: Yes. An internship is when a student goes to an NGO or a company to work but most of the time you receive a stipend or you do not get paid and the purpose for this is for the student to get experience working, to know exactly what it's like to work and when you're choosing an internship you want to choose an area that you like to learn about and to see if you really wanted to do that.
卡蒂亞：好。實習就是學生去非政府組織或是公司工作，多數時候學生在實習期間可以獲得補助，不過也可能沒有任何薪水，實習的目的是積累工作經驗，了解具體要怎么工作，在選擇實習時，要選擇你想學習的領域，想清楚你想做什么工作。
Todd: And you did an internship for five months?
托德：你實習了5個月？
Katia: For five months. It was an internship for five months.
卡蒂亞：5個月。這是一份為期5個月的實習。
Todd: Was it competitive to get the internship?
托德：獲得實習機會競爭激烈嗎？
Katia: Very competitive and actually I didn't know that until I got it.
卡蒂亞：競爭非常激烈，我在得到實習機會前都不知道競爭這么激烈。
Todd: Really?
托德：真的嗎？
Katia: Yes and I'm glad I did not know otherwise I would feel the pressure but yes it was quite competitive I found out eventually.
卡蒂亞：對，我很高興我事前不知道，不然我會感覺壓力很大，不過最后我發現競爭真的非常激烈。
Todd: So the internship's kind of a weird situation because in a way it's free labor for the companies and people want the internship because they want work experience. How did you feel doing an internship? Did you ever feel like you had to work maybe more than you should have or was it something you were very happy with?
托德：實習是一種很奇怪的情況，因為在某種程度上說，這就是在免費為公司工作，人們想實習是因為他們想積累工作經驗。你認為實習怎么樣？你有沒有感覺你工作的時間超出了規定時間，還是你很喜歡這份實習工作？
Katia: Actually I was very happy with what I was getting. I was getting a lot of experience. I don't feel that I was working for free. I was getting a lot in return. I learned a lot so I think it really depends on where you do the internship, it's what matters. So, no, I was very happy to do the internship. It gave me a lot of experience and I realized what I wanted to do so it was worth it for me.
卡蒂亞：實際上我對這份實習工作很滿意。我積累了很多經驗。我沒有覺得我是在免費工作。我也有很多收獲。我學到了很多，所以我認為這要取決于你在哪里實習，這才是重要的。我很高興做這份實習。我學到了很多經驗，而且我找到了我想做的事，所以我認為這很值得。
Todd: So what did you learn that you wanted to do?
托德：你想做什么工作？
Katia: Well before going to the internship, I liked law but I never worked nothing related with law so I wanted to experience, to know what it is and what you do and actually what does the work involve. So this was an NGO that dealt with human rights law so, yes, I realized after that yes this is what I want to do.
卡蒂亞：在去實習之前，我喜歡法律，不過我并沒有法律方面的工作經驗，所以我想積累這方面的經驗，了解法律工作，了解法律工作都要做些什么。我在一家從事人權法工作的非政府組織實習，我發現這就是我想做的事。
Todd: Fantastic.
托德：那太好了。
