A: Hello, I am Taylor Pan. Nice to have you here.
A:你好!我叫泰勒潘。有你来，我很高兴。
B: I am very pleased to meet you. I am Hu yao.
B:我很高兴认识您，我叫胡耀。
A: So you are from the same city as I am. How you would like to come and work here?
A:嗨！这么说我们还是同乡。你怎么想到 这儿工作的？
B: Perhaps just like you. I am used to and sort off tired of the inactiveness and routine like work and life deep inland. You know, the coastal places offer more chances for challenges and liveliness.
B:也许正和您相同。内陆城市的工作和生 活都较死气沉沉、机械、呆板，而沿海城 市有更多让你活跃和接受挑战的机会。
A: But do you also know that work here is exhausting and life here is sometimes messy?
A:可是你知不知道这儿的工作更让你筋疲 力尽，生活有时也是一团糟。
B: I know. But I prefer the chances for knowing more different people from different walks of life and different places. I may also have chances to show the tourists around different places of interest.
B:我知道。但我看重这儿的机会，可以接 触更多来自不同地域和行业的各种人 士,也可以有机会带游客到各个名胜之 地。
A: What have you done in the past as a tour guide?
A:你以前做导游都干了什么？
B: As you might see in my application letter. I worked with Star Workers travel Service on a three-year contract after graduation from a tourist school. When I showed my clients around in the city—I just did that, I mean I never went beyond the city limits. When I did that, I enjoyed my time with them. And I tried my best to be most helpful to them and place them and make them enjoy their time-because I learned in school and at work to be quite a “ lingual”. I mean I am able to speak with them in their tongue—besides the local tongue, Mandarin, Cantonese, English and a little bit Japanese.
B:正如我求职信所言,从旅游学校毕业之 后，我与星光旅行社签订了 3年的合同 做导游。我带游客在市内旅游时——我 只在市内，也就是说我从没出过市。我 跟他们过得很愉快。我也尽了最大努力 帮助他们，满足他们，使他们过得愉 快一因为在学校时和在后来工作中， 我学会了当一个“语言家”，我指的是，我 用他们的话跟他们交谈——除了当地语 方言,我会普通话、广东话、英语，还有一 点日语。
A: Hm, you are amazing. Do you think your clients sometimes asked too much of you or troubled you?
A:嗯,你简直是个奇才。你有没有认为你 的旅客有时要求过分或难为你？
B: Yes, sometimes they did. But I had my way to get around. Like I would get them to understand tour guiding and respect tour guides. You know, you can always find a way to deal with it?
B:是的,有时他们较过分,但我有我的处理 办法。比如，我要让他们充分理解导游 工作，尊重导游人员。你总是能找到方 法加以解决的。
A: Well, do you know what is with our agency?
A:呃，你对我们旅行社了解很多吗？
B: Er. I just referred to your agency. You take all sorts of people, you show them wherever they want to be showed, that is, you are very flexible. And you have a large network, internal and external. And you have professional management, which means you accept only professional guides and you expect from them professional work. Of course you also pay them “professional” money, considerably high.
B:我已了解过你们旅行社的情况。你们不 限接待各种游客,他们想去哪里，你们都 带他们去。也就是说，你们很灵活而且 有一个宏大的网络，内部和外部都有。 你们还有专业性质的管理,也就是说,你 们要求你们的导游专业化，当然,你们所 付的薪水也是“专业化的”，相当高。
A: Then what do you think about tips or souvenirs from your clients and kick backs or commissions from the people whose clients you are?
A：那么，你的客人给你小费或纪念礼品或 者你带客人买东西什么的，从卖方得到 回扣或者佣金,你对这些怎么看？
B: Well, professionals should be professionals. Souvenirs are OK, but not kick backs. After all, you need to save your clients* money, too, because you want them to come back to you next time or get their friends to come to you.
B:呃，专业人员毕竟应该是专业人员。纪 念品可以接受,但回扣不行。说到底，你 也得为你的客人节约用钱，因为你需要 他们做你的回头客或是介绍他们的朋友 作你的客人。
A: Come on, Mr. Hu, my compatriot. You are a genius, I’m convinced. I wish I could say you are recruited right now. I will give you my favor when we consider you. Thank you for coming. Wish you good luck.
A:嗨,胡先生,我的同乡。你简直让我认为 你是个天才。但愿我现在就能对你说， 你被录用了。我们考虑你的时候，我会 向着你的。谢谢你来面试。祝你好运。
B: Thank you for your time and favor with me. Good-bye.
B:谢谢您花了这么多时间，谢谢关照。再 见。
