成為翻譯需要學(xué)習(xí)多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論職業(yè)，
 
翻譯是個(gè)很重要的職業(yè)，成為翻譯需要學(xué)習(xí)多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: So Adelina, I guess it's not polite to ask a girl for her age, but you must be more or less like me, 31, you're in your early 30s or maybe a bit less?
 
阿德琳娜，我知道問一個(gè)女孩的年齡并不禮貌，不過我想你應(yīng)該和我年紀(jì)差不多，我今年31歲，你也是30出頭吧？或者要更小一些？
 
B: Well I just turned 34.
 
嗯，我剛滿34歲。
 
A: Wow! Well you wouldn't say that. Well, what's your profession, what do you do?
 
哇哦！你沒說，你的職業(yè)是什么？你做什么工作？
 
B: I'm a translator.
 
我是翻譯。
 
A: Oh wow, translator. And how long do you have to study for that, let's say if you want to become a translator, how many years of study is that?
 
哦哇哦，翻譯。如果要成為翻譯，需要學(xué)習(xí)多少時(shí)間，需要多少年？
 
B: In that time it was five years, but now I think they cut it one year, so now it's only four.
 
以前是五年，不過我想現(xiàn)在他們把課時(shí)縮短了一年，所以現(xiàn)在是四年。
 
A: But you did five?
 
你學(xué)了五年？
 
B: Yeah, I did five plus another year because I did a specialization master.
 
我學(xué)了六年，因?yàn)槲沂菍I(yè)碩士。
 
A: Oh right. And you did this in Spain?
 
好。你是在西班牙學(xué)的碩士？
 
B: The master?
 
碩士嗎？
 
A: The formation, I mean the study.
 
我說的是學(xué)業(yè)。
 
B: Well the study, the university, I did it in Granada. It's one of the best school of translators and interpreters that we have here in Spain. But the master, I did it in London.
 
我在格拉納達(dá)大學(xué)完成的本科學(xué)業(yè)。那所大學(xué)是西班牙最好的筆譯和口譯院校之一。至于碩士，我是在倫敦念的。
 
A: Okay, right. And generally not only university or high school, but generally the education system in Spain, you think it's good, you think it's a good system?
 
哦好。我們不只看大學(xué)或高中，就西班牙整體的教育體系來說，你認(rèn)為這是個(gè)好體系嗎？
 
B: I don't know, I'm not into that anymore. But I don't think it's good, I don't like it, no. No, because I think there are so many things that needs to be changed because we need to improve our education system with the time. We are in a technology era, okay, so I don't think they need to learn ... I don't know, the Second World War, you know, because it's not useful anymore. So I think there is a lack of languages in Spain. People don't speak languages at all, so they should focus a little bit more in teaching the kids how to speak another ... more foreign languages, you know. Plus, I think also there is a lack of ... make the kids unique. So you cannot teach everyone the same thing because each person has potential and special skills. So I think the teacher shall be know a lot their students and focus on their abilities and their skills and try to grow them, to make the kid be ... I don't know, but more talented, more creative and this world will be much better, I think.
 
我不知道，我不再對(duì)這種感興趣。不過我認(rèn)為西班牙的教育體系并不好，我認(rèn)為不好。因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為有許多方面需要改進(jìn)，我們應(yīng)該讓教育制度與時(shí)俱進(jìn)。我們現(xiàn)在處于科技時(shí)代，所以我認(rèn)為不應(yīng)該再學(xué)習(xí)第二次世界大戰(zhàn)的相關(guān)知識(shí)了，因?yàn)槟遣辉儆杏谩Ｎ艺J(rèn)為西班牙缺少語言體系。人們完全不講外語，他們應(yīng)該在教孩子說外語方面投入更多精力。另外，我認(rèn)為西班牙的孩子缺少獨(dú)特性。你不能教所有的人同樣的東西，因?yàn)槊總€(gè)人都有自己的潛能和特殊技能。所以我認(rèn)為老師應(yīng)該對(duì)學(xué)生有更多了解，更關(guān)注學(xué)生的能力和技能，并努力讓學(xué)生獲得成長(zhǎng)，讓學(xué)生更出色、更具創(chuàng)造性，這樣這個(gè)世界會(huì)變得更好。
 
A: Yeah, it's true. Parents only want the best for their children and they choose for their children. And when you talk about teachers, I mean teachers as well, they don' t... I don't think they care the most, I mean maybe in their first year, but when they are 10 years in teaching, I don't think they will really focus on one kid and saying, "Let's go talk to their parents because this kid really has to do this or that."
 
沒錯(cuò)。父母只希望孩子做到最好，他們會(huì)代替孩子做出選擇。而至于老師，我想他們也不太關(guān)心，也許在剛當(dāng)老師的第一年，他們會(huì)很有熱情，可是在教了10年書以后，他們就不太會(huì)關(guān)注學(xué)生，不太會(huì)說：“我們和他們的父母談?wù)劙?，孩子必須這樣做”。
 
B: Yeah, I don't know, lately I see a lot of news that the children are aggressive and is the poor situation of the teachers, they become like victims. But I think also that if the teenagers are aggressive it's because they feel lost, they don't know what to do with their lives. And that becomes frustration, and with the frustration comes the aggressive attitude, you know.
 
對(duì)，最近我看到了很多新聞都在報(bào)道，學(xué)生變得有攻擊性，而老師則處于惡劣的情況中，反而成為了受害者。不過我認(rèn)為，如果青少年變得有攻擊性，這是因?yàn)樗麄兏械绞洌麄儾恢缿?yīng)該怎樣過生活。這會(huì)引發(fā)沮喪感，而這種沮喪感會(huì)演變成攻擊性的態(tài)度。
 
A: Yeah. Well it's only now if you look in Spain, as you say, on the other hand people study ... parents put a lot of money in their kids to study and have their diploma and then finally they graduate, but there's no job or maybe shall we leave that for another time, this discussion?
 
對(duì)?？纯船F(xiàn)在的西班牙，父母花很多錢讓孩子去學(xué)習(xí)，在孩子拿到學(xué)位畢業(yè)以后，他們可能找不到工作，也許這個(gè)問題我們應(yīng)該再找個(gè)時(shí)間討論？
 
B: Yeah. But the thing is that it's too much theory and not practice. So they need to practice what they're going to do in the future you know. But I cannot save the world, so this is a topic, it really, really get out of my nerves. So yeah, as you said, maybe just stop in this point.
 
對(duì)。這是因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在的教育理論性太多，沒有實(shí)踐。他們未來要做什么，他們應(yīng)該去實(shí)踐。不過我不能拯救這個(gè)世界，所以這個(gè)話題讓我感覺緊張。如你所說，也許我們應(yīng)該就此停止討論。
 
A: Okay. Well, thank you very much.
 
好。 非常謝謝你。
