M: I should tell you that with the present cutbacks, we've only got one full-time administer assistant in the section.
男:我要告訴你,在目前裁員的情況下,我們只有一名全職的管理助理。
M: How would you feel about doing your own word processing, photo copying, that sort of thing?
男:你對自己做文字處理,照片復制之類的事情有什么想法嗎?
W: Oh, I'm used to that. I've done all my own word processing for ages. It's the only way to write really, isn't it?
女:噢,我已經習慣了。我已經做了很多年的文字處理。這是唯一的寫字方法,不是嗎?
W: I can type well about 60 words a minute. I did a secretarial course after I left school, so I learnt typing in short hand.
女:我一分鐘能打60個詞。離開學校后,我學了一門文秘課程,學會了速記。
W: Then a few years later, I bought a PC and I learnt how to do word processing, too.
女:幾年后,我買了一臺電腦,也學會了文字處理。
M: Well, that's handy. Now in the position you've applied for, you'd have five to six assistant researchers responsible to you.
男:嗯,那很方便?,F在在你申請的職位上,有5到6個助理研究員對你負責。
M: That's considerably more responsibility than you've had before. So you're obviously ambitious. And as you said, you like challenge.
男:這比你以前承擔的責任要大得多。所以,顯然,你雄心勃勃。正如你所說,你喜歡挑戰。
M: I was wondering what you see yourself doing in, say, five or ten years on the track.
男:我想知道5到10年的時間內,你有什么計劃。
W: Oh, that is a difficult question. Let me try to answer your question in this way. I'm particularly interested in experimental design and also in teaching.
女:噢,這是一個很難回答的問題。我這樣說吧,我對實驗設計和教學特別感興趣。
W: I'd like to continue the organization and planning side of research, but do some teaching, too.
女:我想繼續做研究的組織和規劃方面的工作,但也做一些教學工作。
W: I know that you have lecturers here who do just that sort of thing—some practical worker and some undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.
女:我知道這里的老師很多都是這樣做的——一些從事實踐工作,一些從事本科生和研究生教學。
W: So that's what I really be aiming for—to be a lecturer here as well.
女:所以這就是我的目標,我想要成為這里的講師。
M: Well, that is certainly a career path that we'd encourage you to follow. But of course it might be necessary to upgrade your present qualifications first.
男:嗯,那當然是我們鼓勵你遵循的職業道路。不過,你可能需要先優化你的現有資歷。
M: I see from your resume that you've enrolled in an M. A. in experimental psychology. Could you tell me a bit about the courses you're planning to take?
男:我從你的簡歷上看到你在實驗心理學讀碩士。你能告訴我一些你打算修的課程嗎?
