Parttime Work

1--How many hours a week are you working at the

moment?

2--Erm--well I'm working Monday to Friday...

plus...

1---Is it...are you working more at the moment?

2--Yes, I'm doing three, well I usually do three

evenings a week, but the evenings, erm. that

I'm working are usually a little bit longer

than any other time of the year, and I will

do the occasional Saturday, 'cause obviously

Saturday's a popular day.

===================================

注解：

1)occasional：偶尔的，非经常的。注意这句话中文

与英文的说法区别很大。

2)'cause=because

3)a popular day：原义指星期六是假日，顾客较多，

因而商店，餐馆也需打工的学生干活。译文与原文略有

不同。

===================================

译文

1--目前,你一个星期工作多少个小时?

2--哦,我从星期一到星期五工作,加上...

1--是吗?你目前工作时间较多吧?

2--是的,我现在一个星期有三个晚上打工.我通常

也是一星期三个晚上打工。不过眼下晚上工作的

时间比其它季节晚上时间要长些。偶尔星期六也

干活，因为显然星期六工作好找。
