Fast-Paced Life 快节奏的生活
Abidemi: So Rory, talking about schedules, do youever think that life is too busy or too much that we'retrying to fit too many things?
阿比德米：罗瑞，我们来谈谈日程安排，你是否认为生活太忙碌了或者我们要去适应太多事情?
Rory: Maybe for some people. Not for me, actually. Itake life quite slowly. But I noticed with my daughterthat we're always sort of rushing her to do things. So when she comes home from school, shehas to do her homework. And then one night a week, she has to go to swimming then she haspiano, then she has like an acrobat lesson. When I was a kid, we did nothing after school, youknow. We went to the park by ourselves and played. But nothing was scheduled, so we just didwhat we wanted.
罗瑞：也许对有些人来说是这样的。但其实对我来说并不是。我一直在享受慢生活。不过我注意到，我们一直让我们的女儿做很多事。她放学回来以后，要写作业。她每周有一个晚上要去上游泳课，她还要上钢琴课和杂技课。我小的时候，放学以后什么都不做。那时我们会去公园里玩。并不做安排，想做什么就做什么。
Abidemi: I see.
阿比德米：我知道了。
Rory: So do you think like kids today, we try and make them do too much or they try and dotoo much.
罗瑞：那你认为对现在的孩子来说，我们是不是让他们做得太多了，或者说他们做的事情是不是太多了?
Abidemi: That's a really good question. And I think, yes, you're right. It feels like a lot – thatwe expect a lot more from kids these days. Whereas similar to your background too, when I wasgrowing up, I thought sometimes that I was bored out of my mind because there was justnothing really much to do except for maybe going to the library and borrow some books toread. And I had all the time in the world to read them. But these days, you see kids runningaround trying to do it all. Play soccer or some kind of sports or do some club activities or justsomething. They are always busy, the kids I see around me. So...
阿比德米：这是一个非常好的问题。我认为你说得没错。的确是有点儿多，现在我们对孩子的期望很高。我和你的成长背景很相似，我在成长过程中有时会感觉无聊极了，因为除了去图书馆借书看以外，没什么事情可做。所以我当时一直在读书。而现在，孩子们会去各个地方做各种事情。踢足球、从事其他体育活动、参加社团活动或做其他事情。我看到我周围的一些孩子一直很忙。所以……
Rory: Yeah. Yeah. I think we're trying to make them maybe grow up too quickly or do toomuch too soon. When I was kid, you could sort of find your own path. You know, when youbecame a teenager, when you start to get to university, starting to make these choices. Butnow, parents seem to – okay, the kid is going to do piano and they're going to do soccer andthey're going to study hard for, you know, exams, do extra math tuition. I don't know if kidscan handle it.
罗瑞：对，没错。我认为我们让他们成长地太快了，或者说我们让孩子们太早去做过多的事情。我小时候可以自己寻找属于自己的道路。进入青少年时期，上大学以后，可以自己做出选择。但是现在，父母让孩子去学钢琴、去踢足球，让他们努力学习应对考试，还让他们参加课外数学辅导班。我不知道孩子们能否承受得住。
Abidemi: I don't know either. It also seems that it comes with our world today. It's a lot morecompetitive. And what I've heard is like people are trying to prepare their kids as much aspossible. I've heard, for some universities, you need to show that you can handle a lot.
阿比德米：我也不知道。看起来这就是现在世界的趋势。现在竞争性更强。我听说人们在试图让自己的孩子尽量做好准备。有些大学需要证明你能应对各种情况。
Rory: Right.
罗瑞：好。
Abidemi: And because everybody is the same place, they're all racing for the same positionsthat if you don't distinguish yourself in some way, you can't make it.
阿比德米：因为所有人都在同一个地方，他们要为同样的职位竞争，如果不能让自己和其他人有所区别，那就无法成功。
Rory: Yeah.
罗瑞：对。
Abidemi: So in response to that, parents are trying to pile as much on the kids as possible.
阿比德米：为了应对这种局面，父母试图尽量让孩子接触更多的事情。
Rory: Yeah. I was reading something that said that employers really look now for extra-curricular things that kids do. So not just their grades but what clubs were they members of. Were they acting in the theater, were they a member of a sports team and these things seemto be becoming more important now.
罗瑞：对。我看到有文章说，现在雇主也需要那种有课外经历的员工。现在招聘不仅看学习成绩，还要看他们参加过什么社团。他们是否有剧院演出经历，是否参加过运动队，现在这些事情似乎变得越来越重要了。
Abidemi: Than just school work.
阿比德米：不只是学校成绩。
Rory: Yeah. Yeah.
罗瑞：对，没错。
Abidemi: I think it's a shame. I like the way I grew up. Yeah. I'll like if my kids could have abit more freedom but I can also see that with the way the world is going, I would probably beanxious for them to do as much as possible so that they can have the best in the future.
阿比德米：我认为这很遗憾。我喜欢我的成长方式。我也希望我的孩子能更自由一些，可是在看到世界的发展趋势后，我希望孩子们能尽量多接触些事情，这样他们才能拥有最好的未来。
Rory: Yeah, because it's a balance between giving them the freedom and then giving them theopportunities to excel at various things.
罗瑞：对，要在给他们自由和让他们有机会擅长各种事情上找到平衡。
Abidemi: There you go. That's it. Yeah.
阿比德米：说得很对。就是这样，没错。
The Perfect Schedule 完美的日程
Rory: So I was thinking about my current job.
罗瑞：我想谈谈我现在的工作。
Abidemi: Uh-hmm.
阿比德米：嗯。
Rory: And I think like my work schedule is so good.
罗瑞：我认为我的工作安排很不错。
Abidemi: Yeah.
阿比德米：嗯。
Rory: I work Monday and Tuesday, then I have a day off. Then I work Thursday and Friday, andthen I have the weekend off. And I get five months holiday, yeah.
罗瑞：我周一和周二上班。然后周三休息一天。周四和周五上班，周末休息。另外我还有五个月的假期。
Abidemi: Wow. Sign me up.
阿比德米：哇哦。算我一个吧。
Rory: So I mean, what's a good work schedule for you?
罗瑞：你认为什么是好的工作安排?
Abidemi: I think what you've just described sounds really good as well. When I was youngeractually, I don't know where this idea came from but my ideal work hours were 9:00 until 2:00.
阿比德米：我认为你刚刚描述的听起来非常不错。我年轻时认为理想的工作时间是早上9点到下午2点，不过我也不知道这个想法从何而来。
Rory: Okay.
罗瑞：好。
Abidemi: Not 9:00 until 5:00 like you usually hear in a lot of Western countries, but 9 o'clockto 2 o'clock.
阿比德米：现在许多西方国家的工作时间都是朝九晚五，不是早上9点到下午2点。
Rory: Right.
罗瑞：好。
Abidemi: I don't know. So maybe for me, if I could do it, if I could find something like that, itwould be really good because you can sleep in until maybe 7:00 or 8:00, go to work, finish at 2:00, still come back and have a good chunk of that day to do other things. So...
阿比德米：我也不知道。也许对我来说，如果我能找到这样的工作，那就太好了，可以睡懒觉，睡到早上七八点，然后去上班，下午2点下班以后还有很多时间，可以做其他事情。
Rory: Yeah. So my previous job was quite – I started at 9:30 and I finish at 12:30. I workedfive days a week but it was great because work was finished by lunch time. I had the whole dayfree. And that was a good job.
罗瑞：嗯。我上一份工作是早上9点半上班，中午12点半下班，一周工作五天，那非常棒，午饭时间工作就结束了。剩下的时间都是空闲时间。那是份很不错的工作。
Abidemi: And you still got a full time salary?
阿比德米：拿全职薪水?
Rory: And that was a full-time salary, yeah.
罗瑞：对，全职薪水。
Abidemi: Wow. Sounds even better than this one, maybe.
阿比德米：哇哦。听起来比你现在的工作还要好。
Rory: Yeah. In the past – I mean, I've worked in restaurants where you work only in theevenings. So I'd start at 5:30 and work until around midnight. I didn't like that as muchbecause all day, I was thinking, "I've got to go to work later." So I think I prefer working in themorning and get it behind me as soon as possible.
罗瑞：嗯。我之前晚上在餐厅工作过。工作时间是晚上5点半到午夜。我不太喜欢那份工作，因为一整天我都在想“我一会儿要去上班”。我更喜欢在上午工作，尽快把工作完成。
Abidemi: I think maybe I'm the same way as well. I prefer to get it down and then have therest of the day to enjoy. Also, I had a job where I was working during the weekend. And I wouldhave Mondays and Tuesdays off. And I didn't really like that. I missed seeing friends on theweekend and then going out. So I don't think I would like anything like that. How about notworking? Do you think – how long do you think you could go without not having to work?
阿比德米：我想我和你一样。我也喜欢尽快搞定工作，然后剩下的时间享受时光。我还做过一份周末上班，周一和周二休息的工作。我不太喜欢那份工作。因为我周末不能和朋友见面，不能和朋友出去玩。所以我不喜欢那样的工作。不工作呢?你认为不工作你能坚持多长时间?
Rory: Well, it's funny because this job now I have really long vacations but I'm not happy whenI'm not working. Like my wife gets very frustrated with me because if I have nothing to do, Itend to be a bit annoying around the house, just getting depressed, just arguing all thetime. But I don't need much work. Like if I could just do like an hour a day, I think that wouldbe enough to make me happy.
罗瑞：嗯，这很有趣，因为我现在这份工作有很长的假期，不过我不工作的时候并不开心。我妻子对我很失望，因为我没什么事做、呆在家里的时候会有些烦人，我会很消沉，一直争论个不停。不过我不需要太多工作。我想一天工作1个小时就能让我开心起来。
Abidemi: Okay. How long could you go would say? A week or two without having to touchwork?
阿比德米：好。那你不工作能坚持多长时间?完全不碰工作的话，你能坚持一周还是两周?
Rory: I could probably go a couple of months.
罗瑞：我可能可以坚持几个月。
Abidemi: Okay. Without having to work at all.
阿比德米：好。完全不工作。
Rory: Yeah, if I have other things to do, you know.
罗瑞：对，如果有其他事情做的话。
Abidemi: All right.
阿比德米：好。
Rory: So if I had other projects like if I was doing a lot of training for running or if I wasstudying, if I had a good book then I could probably go quite a long time.
罗瑞：如果有其他事情做，比如做大量的跑步训练，或是学习，读一本好书，那我可以坚持很长时间。
Abidemi: Yeah. I get pretty restless myself, too. I think after three, four days of not havinganything to do, I just want – I really need something. Maybe, like you said study or learn or goout and do something, have a project, have a goal. I think, yeah, my personality type needs toconstantly do something, produce. Yeah.
阿比德米：好。我也会变得焦躁不安。如果什么都不做，那三四天以后我就会想做些事情。也许就像你说的那样，学习或是外出，做个项目，制定个目标。我想我的个性决定我要不断地做事。
Rory: Yeah. When I worked in Europe, I used to do – I used to teach for one or two weeksintensively, and then have three or four weeks off. And it was quite nice because I had lots offree time but after two or three weeks of free time, I was quite looking forward to the nextblock, the next block of teaching. But teaching these intensive blocks can be quite – it can bequite tough as well. Like I have to – I did a six-week block in Russia once, and after threeweeks, I just wanted to go home. Six weeks was too long.
罗瑞：嗯。我在欧洲工作时，曾做过一两周左右的集中教学工作，然后我会休息三四周的时间。我认为那非常不错，因为有很多空闲时间，不过在休息两三周以后，我就会非常希望进行下一个教学工作。不过集中教学非常难。我曾在俄罗斯做过为期六周的集中教学，三周之后我就想回家了。六周的时间太长了。
Abidemi: Wow. I see. How intensive was it?
阿比德米：哇哦。我明白了。强度有多大?
Rory: Well, the job in Russia was really intensive because I was living with the students in aresidential university. And so we had breakfast together and then I taught them from half pasteight in the morning until half past six in the evening.
罗瑞：嗯，俄罗斯的工作强度很大，因为我要和学生们一起住在一所提供住宿的大学。我们一起吃早餐，然后早上8点半开始上课，晚上6点半下课。
Abidemi: Wow.
阿比德米：哇哦。
Rory: We had lunch together, and then we had dinner together in the evening.
罗瑞：我们一起吃午餐，晚上也一起吃晚餐。
Abidemi: Wow.
阿比德米：哇哦。
Rory: And there was one bar in the university, and we all went to the same bar in the eveningas well.
罗瑞：大学里有一家酒吧，我们晚上也会去那个酒吧放松。
Abidemi: And you had the same group of students?
阿比德米：是和同一批学生吗?
Rory: The same group of students.
罗瑞：对，和同一拨学生。
Abidemi: For six weeks?
阿比德米：六周的时间?
Rory: For six weeks and it was six days a week of teaching.
罗瑞：对，我要进行六周的教学。
Abidemi: Wow. I can – if you the teacher felt like that, I can only imagine how the studentsmust have felt. They must have wanted a break badly.
阿比德米：哇哦。你是老师，如果连你都想休息，那我可以想象学生一定也有这种感觉。他们一定非常想休息。
Rory: Yeah. We all wanted a break.
罗瑞：对。我们都想休息。
Working in Television 在电视台工作
Adam: Sarah, I heard you worked in reality TV. Canyou tell us a little bit about that?
亚当：萨拉，我听说你在真人秀节目组工作过。你能说说这段经历吗?
Sarah: Yeah. When I was living in Orlando, Florida, Iworked for a production company that filmed realitytelevision. And first of all, it was an interesting jobbecause I worked from 7 o'clock at night until 5 in the morning. It was me and four other guys. And I was the only person who hadn't been to film school that was working there. Andovernight we would transcribe video footage. So what we would do is we would watch theextended footage of the reality shows that this company produced, and we would type outeverything that they were saying. And I quickly came to realize that everything in television isscripted, even reality television because they would often prompt the people what to say on theshows.
萨拉：对。我住在佛罗里达州奥兰多市的时候，曾在一家拍摄电视真人秀的制作公司工作。首先我要说，那是一份有意思的工作，我的工作时间是晚上7点到第二天的凌晨5点。我和其他4个人一起工作。我是这些人中唯一没有上过电影学院的人。我们的工作内容就是转录录像。我们要观看公司制作的真人秀视频，然后把他们说的话打出来。很快我就意识到电视台的所有节目都是有脚本的，就连真人秀节目都有脚本，因为他们经常会提示真人秀出演者要说的话。
Adam: Interesting. Was the producer there on camera prompting them to say things that yousaw but we as viewers might not see?
亚当：有意思。你看到制作人提示演员要说什么，可是我们观众看不到，对吧?
Sarah: Oh yeah. So all the producers and the staff are all around and in-between takes, youknow, they'll try to get them to say things a certain way. And so they'll often retake scenesover and over again until they get the kind of footage that they want.
萨拉：没错。所有制作人和工作人员都在拍摄现场，在拍摄间隙会告诉演员用特定的方式去说话。他们经常反复重拍一些镜头，直到他们得到他们想要的效果。
Adam: Interesting. Can you tell us what TV show you were filming?
亚当：有意思。你能介绍一下你们当时拍的那个真人秀吗?
Sarah: No, I probably can't say that.
萨拉：不行，这个我不能说。
Adam: How did you get a job like that if you didn't have the same filming background thatyour colleagues had?
亚当：如果你在大学里没有接触过电影拍摄，那怎么得到这样的工作?
Sarah: I grew up in radio, so because I had radio, media on my resume, they hired me.
萨拉：我是在广播电台长大的，我的简历标明我有电台和媒体经历，所以他们雇佣了我。
Adam: Were you interested in reality TV before you got that job?
亚当：你在做那份工作前对真人秀节目感兴趣吗?
Sarah: Not at all. I was just trying to pay rent and pay my bills. So actually at that time, I wasworking five different jobs. That was just one of them.
萨拉：完全不感兴趣。我当时要付房租和各种账单。那时我同时做5份工作。那只是其中一份工作。
Adam: Wow! That's amazing. Pulling all-nighters as well.
亚当：哇哦!那太不可思议了。你要通宵熬夜工作。
Sarah: Yup.
萨拉：对。
Adam: Was there a reason that you had to work at night?
亚当：你在晚上工作有什么原因吗?
Sarah: That particular job, that's what they hired me for because they had people who didthat job during the day, too. So we were the night shift.
萨拉：他们雇佣我在晚上工作，因为白天有其他人工作。等于我是上夜班。
Adam: So that's really interesting. So when you watch reality TV show today, how do you feel? Can you sense what the producers are trying to do or can you enjoy it? How do you feel aboutwatching reality TV now?
亚当：那很有意思。你现在看真人秀节目的时候，有什么感觉?你能感觉到制作人的意图或是你享受这个节目吗?你现在怎么看真人秀节目?
Sarah: I never really liked reality television before I worked with reality television. And now, Ilike it even less because I realized it is all fake and all scripted, and it's not very interesting tome.
萨拉：我在真人秀节目组工作之前不喜欢看真人秀。现在，我更不喜欢了，因为我知道那都是假的，都是按脚本演的，我没什么兴趣。
Adam: How did the actors or the members of the reality TV show casts, how did they feel aboutthis scripting of the TV show?
亚当：真人秀节目的演员对节目脚本怎么看?
Sarah: They seem to be fine with it because they, you know, signed all the contracts and thethings to be on the show. So they don't really mind it.
萨拉：看起来他们可以接受，因为他们都签了合同，要按要求去拍摄节目。所以他们并不介意。
Adam: Wow. That's really interesting.
亚当：哇哦，那真有意思。
