M: I should tell you that with the present cutbacks, we've only got one full-time administer assistant in the section.
男：我要告诉你，在目前裁员的情况下，我们只有一名全职的管理助理。
M: How would you feel about doing your own word processing, photo copying, that sort of thing?
男：你对自己做文字处理，照片复制之类的事情有什么想法吗？
W: Oh, I'm used to that. I've done all my own word processing for ages. It's the only way to write really, isn't it?
女：噢，我已经习惯了。我已经做了很多年的文字处理。这是唯一的写字方法，不是吗？
W: I can type well about 60 words a minute. I did a secretarial course after I left school, so I learnt typing in short hand.
女：我一分钟能打60个词。离开学校后，我学了一门文秘课程，学会了速记。
W: Then a few years later, I bought a PC and I learnt how to do word processing, too.
女：几年后，我买了一台电脑，也学会了文字处理。
M: Well, that's handy. Now in the position you've applied for, you'd have five to six assistant researchers responsible to you.
男：嗯，那很方便。现在在你申请的职位上，有5到6个助理研究员对你负责。
M: That's considerably more responsibility than you've had before. So you're obviously ambitious. And as you said, you like challenge.
男：这比你以前承担的责任要大得多。所以，显然，你雄心勃勃。正如你所说，你喜欢挑战。
M: I was wondering what you see yourself doing in, say, five or ten years on the track.
男：我想知道5到10年的时间内，你有什么计划。
W: Oh, that is a difficult question. Let me try to answer your question in this way. I'm particularly interested in experimental design and also in teaching.
女：噢，这是一个很难回答的问题。我这样说吧，我对实验设计和教学特别感兴趣。
W: I'd like to continue the organization and planning side of research, but do some teaching, too.
女：我想继续做研究的组织和规划方面的工作，但也做一些教学工作。
W: I know that you have lecturers here who do just that sort of thing—some practical worker and some undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.
女：我知道这里的老师很多都是这样做的——一些从事实践工作，一些从事本科生和研究生教学。
W: So that's what I really be aiming for—to be a lecturer here as well.
女：所以这就是我的目标，我想要成为这里的讲师。
M: Well, that is certainly a career path that we'd encourage you to follow. But of course it might be necessary to upgrade your present qualifications first.
男：嗯，那当然是我们鼓励你遵循的职业道路。不过，你可能需要先优化你的现有资历。
M: I see from your resume that you've enrolled in an M. A. in experimental psychology. Could you tell me a bit about the courses you're planning to take?
男：我从你的简历上看到你在实验心理学读硕士。你能告诉我一些你打算修的课程吗?
