美语情景对话 第1300期:What is the worst job you have had? 你做过的最糟糕的工作是什么?

Paul: Hi, this is Paul from South Korea.

保罗：嗨，我是保罗，来自韩国。

Hanna: And I'm Hanna from Australia.

汉娜：我是汉娜，来自澳大利亚。

Paul: So Hanna have you ever had the worst experience working?

保罗：汉娜，你有最糟糕的工作经历吗？

Hanna: A really bad experience working? Yes, actually. I had a three day job once. I was a telemarketer, and for those people who haven't heard of that kind of job before, basically, you ring up a lot of people at dinner time, and try to sell them something, and hassle them, so yeah, after three days, I quit because I couldn't stand ringing people up anymore.

汉娜：非常糟糕的工作经历？实际上我有。之前有一份工作我只做了三天。那份工作是电话销售员，我来给那些没听过这种工作的人解释一下，基本上来说，电话销售员就是在晚饭期间给很多人打电话，试图向他们销售东西，去打扰他们，三天之后我就不干了，因为我再也无法忍受不停给别人打电话这种工作了。

Paul: That sounds awful.

保罗：那听起来很糟糕。

Hanna: Yeah, it was horrible.

汉娜：对，很可怕。

Paul: My worst? I wouldn't say the worst, but I was once a cleaner. I was in the dormitory and I had to wake up at six in the morning to clean up and pick up all the trash on the floor. It was sooooo ... it was a nightmare. At six in the morning.

保罗：我最糟糕的工作经历呢？我不会说那是最糟糕的，我以前做过清洁员。当时我住在集体宿舍，我每天早上6点就要起床，然后开始打扫，并清理地板上的垃圾。那太……那简直是恶梦。早上6点就得起床。

Hanna: That's pretty early.

汉娜：那真是太早了。

Paul: It is.

保罗：没错。
