Conversation Two
对话二
W: Alan, you used to be a baker?
W: 艾伦,你曾经做过面包师?
M: Yes, I did.
M: 是的。
W: That's pretty cool. Can you make anything, like bread, cake?
W: 太棒了。那你能做面包或蛋糕之类的东西吗?
M: Yeah. My specialty. What I did a lot of was different varieties of bread, such as white bread, sour dough, Italian bread and French bread and so on.
M: 当然,这是我的拿手戏。我曾经做过各式各样的糕点,比如说白面包,酸面包,意式面包和法式面包等。
W: Oh, sounds good. What is the routine of a baker? Do you have to get up early, or how does that work?
W: 听起来真诱人。一位面包师的日常生活是怎样的?你需要每天早起吗,或者你觉得这份工作如何?
M: Yes. Generally most bakeries, especially bakeries that sell bread, they start operations very early in the morning.
M: 没错。大多数烘焙师,尤其是需要售卖面包的师傅们,他们很早就起床开始工作啦。
W: Why?
W: 为什么?
M: If you want to get the bread out as early as possible, bread bakers must start at 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. They'll come in and open up the shop. They'll get everything going, fire up the ovens and start mixing the bread dough. So the bakery can open at 8 in the morning, and the customers get fresh baked bread.
M: 如果想让面包尽早出炉,面包师们需要凌晨3、4点钟就开始准备。来到店铺后开门营业。将需要的东西准备好,把烤箱预热后让面团发酵。这样才能保证在早上8点钟准时营业,顾客也能买到新鲜的面包。
W: So a baker is really diligent. And what would you say is the best thing about being a baker?
W: 所以面包师们真的很辛苦。你觉得身为一名面包师最骄傲的一点是什么?
M: The best thing about being a baker would be making all those fancy desserts. I enjoyed that part of baking, making those kinds of products.
M: 我觉得应该是可以制作出各式各样的甜点。我很享受制作各种点心的这一过程。
W: Was there anything that you did not like about being a baker?
W: 那作为一名面包师有没有不顺心之处?
M: Pretty much, specifically, I didn't like the working hours. The actual work was not bad but the working hours and the pay were not so good.
M: 那太多了,尤其是工作时间。面包师的这一工作性质还算可以,但工作时间不规律,报酬也不是很高。
W: OK, well, still you'd have to love that smell of fresh bread every day.
W: 嗯,好的,但你还是喜欢每天沉浸在面包的香气里。
M: I did enjoy that.
M: 是的,我很喜欢。
