你是喜歡在團隊里工作還是獨自工作

今天的這段對話，在討論工作，
 
你是喜歡在團隊里工作還是獨自工作
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: So, you know, we're talking a little bit about jobs. I'm kind of curious. Do you prefer working in a group or do you prefer working alone?
 
我們之前談論了與工作有關的話題。我有點好奇，你是喜歡在團隊里工作還是獨自工作？
 
B: That's a tough question.
 
這是個很難回答的問題。
 
A: It definitely is because there is good things about both.
 
因為它們各有千秋。
 
B: That's right. That's right, so I guess I'm good at working by myself because I am self-motivated so if I am doing something I like and I can get it done quickly I like to do it by myself, but if I'm working with a good team, a fun team, people who work hard and they all want to do a good job and get the job done well, then I think a team is fun, but you need guys, you need people, men and women, who work hard to do a good job so I prefer working in a team.
 
對，沒錯。我想我擅長一個人工作，因為我主動性強，我在做自己喜歡的事情時很快就能完成，而且我喜歡自己做事情，不過如果我和一個好的團隊或者一個有趣的團隊合作，團隊成員工作努力、認真，而且也能把工作完成好，那我覺得這個團隊很好，你需要別人的幫忙，團隊里可能有男有女，他們都努力認真地在做事，所以我喜歡在團隊里工作。
 
A: Yeah, well, that's understandable. How about, do you prefer working and having a uniform or do you prefer putting on whatever you want to put on?
 
嗯，這很合理。那你是喜歡穿工作服的工作還是穿便服的工作？
 
B: I think uniforms are pretty cool.
 
我覺得工作服很酷。
 
A: Oh, really.
 
哦，真的嗎？
 
B: I think if you have a uniform too, someAes you get respect. If you are are fireman or a policeman, you tend to get a bit of respect from the public but I wouldn't want a cheesy uniform with, you know, sort of like a strange hat or a funny looking bowtie. I wouldn't be into that, so.
 
我覺得如果你穿工作服，那你會得到尊重。比如消防員和警察就會得到公眾的尊重，不過我并不想穿那種很俗的工作服，就像那種有奇怪的帽子和滑稽領結的工作服。我可不想穿那種衣服。
 
A: Have you had any jobs with uniforms?
 
你有做過需要穿工作服的工作嗎？
 
B: Any jobs with uniforms? No, I don't think I ever had. If you call a shirt and tie a uniform, then yeah, but no, no funny hats or bow ties or anything.
 
需要穿工作服的工作？沒有，我從沒做過這種工作。如果說襯衫和領帶也算的話，那我做過，不過我沒戴過那種可笑的帽子和領結。
 
A: So, how about a working schedule? Would you prefer working a flexible schedule with like flex time, or would you prefer set hours: come at this time, finish at this time.
 
那工作時間呢？你是喜歡彈性時間，還是喜歡那種設定幾點來幾點走的工作？
 
B: Definitely, definitely flex hours.
 
當然是彈性時間。
 
A: Yeah, why is that?
 
好，為什么呢？
 
B: I think that a nine-to-five job is difficult to do. If you want to take some holidays, be with your family, or go on a vacation, or if the surfs up and it's a nice day you can go and just grab your board and go for surf but if you're on a nine-to-five job, you have no flexibility so definitely flex hours.
 
我覺得朝九晚五的工作制很難。如果你想休假陪家人或去度假，彈性工作時間的話，如果海浪合適而且天氣又好，那你就可以拿起沖浪板去沖浪，可是如果是朝九晚五的工作，那就沒有那種靈活性，所以我當然喜歡彈性時間。
 
A: So we are talking a little bit about hours. Do you prefer being paid by the hour or do you prefer a salary?
 
我們剛才談到了工作時間。下一個問題是，你希望工資是按小時付還是按月付？
 
B: I think salary maybe is a better way to go because then if take holidays you get paid and if you're working paid by the hour, that style of work, you can't take anytime off because you know when you're not working, you're not getting paid so I think salary is a good way to go but as long as I'm getting paid, I don't really mind which way it is.
 
我認為按月付工資更好，因為這樣即使休假也有工資拿，可是如果按小時付工資，那就不能休息了，因為不工作就沒有工資，所以我覺得按月付工資這種方法更好，不過只要我有工資拿，我不介意方式。
 
A: Yeah, that's understandable.
 
好，說得很合理。
