Chapter 42 Part-Time Jobs

第42章兼職工作

David：Is it common for university students to have past-time jobs?

大學生做兼職工作是件很平常的事嗎？

You：Yes. It is very common.

對，很平常。

David：What kind of jobs do they usually have?

他們通常都會找些什麼樣的兼職做？

You：They normally have jobs like tutors. How about the United States? How is it like for students there?

多數是做家教。美國的學生呢？

David：It is also common for university students to have part-time jobs, but not so much as tutors. Many university students work on campus. For example, some students work in the library, school store or dining hall. But some also work off campus as waiters or waitressed at local restaurants.

他們也做兼職，但一般不做家教或是保姆。很多學生都在學校裏找些兼職做，比如在圖書館，校商店或是學校餐廳。也有一些人在校外餐館裏做服務員。

You：I heard it is a cinch for students in the US to find a job in college because the school offers many opportunities on campus. But in China, not all colleges have campus jobs for students.

我聽說，美國大學生很容易就能在校園裏找到活兒做，因爲學校本身就會提供很多工作機會。但在中國這樣的大學就不多。

David：So where do students get jobs?

那學生們都去哪兒找工作做？

You: Students look for job oppertunities in society. And for those students who come from poor families, they have to earn their own bread and butter. They have to find any job, even it isn't their interesting.

去社會上找啊。對於那些家裏不是很富有的學生來說，他們得做兼職工作來補貼生活。即便是找到的工作不理想，他們也得做。

David：Did you have a job?

你做過兼職嗎？

You：Yes, I had a job I worked for three years as a tutor. Studying English can give you more opportunities towards finding a job such as being a tutor. If you learn English, you can be a primary school teacher and tutor little children. So it is easier for English majors to find part time jobs.

做過，我做過三年的家教。學英語的人會更容易找到像家教這樣的工作，做個小學老師或是教小孩子。所以英語專業的學生較容易找到兼職工作。

David：Studying English does open doors.

學習英語的確能爲你敞開方便之門。
