好了,戴安娜,我們來說說吃的吧。你剛才談到了芝加哥的食物。你在芝加哥能吃到什么食物?

芝加哥以其獨(dú)特風(fēng)味的披薩和熱狗聞名于世。我猜測(cè)芝加哥披薩的不同之處是醬在披薩的頂部,披薩頂部配料大的驚人,例如,手掌大小的香腸。
Todd: Wow, seriously. Whoa! What other toppings can you find on a pizza?
天啊!真的啊?披薩上面的配料還包括什么?
Diana: Just normal pizza toppings like mushrooms and pepperoni, lots and lots of cheese, tomatoes, feta cheese is my favorite, it's kind of weird but it tastes good.
和普通的披薩一樣,上面有蘑菇,意大利辣香腸,很多很多奶酪和番茄,我最喜歡羊乳酪了,搭配起來有點(diǎn)怪但很好吃。
Todd: Me too, I love feta cheese. Nice. OK. What is your favorite topping?

什么都不賣。實(shí)際上,我銷售的是一種身份。它不是人們能夠看到的實(shí)體產(chǎn)品,而是一種會(huì)員身份。

就像鄉(xiāng)村俱樂部的會(huì)員身份一樣?

是的,實(shí)際上那是一家私人度假村和高爾夫俱樂部。
Todd: Nice. Was this in Japan or in the US?

Roe: In Japan.
在日本。
Todd: Wow. What was the best thing about your job?
哇。這份工作最好的地方在于?
Roe: Troubles! Cause I have to knock on people's houses.
麻煩!因?yàn)槲业萌グぜ野舻厝デ瞄T。
Todd: Oh, wow, it was door to door.
哇,挨家挨戶啊。
Roe: Exactly without any appointments and membership costs 5 million yen. Starting, starting costs.
是的,沒有任何預(yù)約的敲門訪問,而且會(huì)員費(fèi)要500萬日元。而這只是入會(huì)費(fèi)。
Todd: 5 million yen to start and you must have been in very rich neighborhoods.
500萬日元的入會(huì)費(fèi),那你肯定要去很高檔的社區(qū)了。
Roe: No, actually we just go to any areas. We just stop off at a station and we start from there.
不,實(shí)際上我們是什么社區(qū)都要去。隨便一站下車后就開展工作了。

真的很艱苦,真的。很艱苦。
Todd: That's a lot of rejection, every day. No, no, no
每天都會(huì)被很多人拒絕,總是聽到人說no,no,no。
Roe: I know, I mean if you think about it, that's natural though, I mean 5 million yen. and I can't really show the place, cause I can't take the person to the place. all I can do is show the picture and speak and that was right after the bubble economy bursted, so nobody had really, nobody had money, so.
我知道,我是說如果你仔細(xì)想想,這就是很自然的事,500萬日元啊。而且我無法展示俱樂部場(chǎng)所,因?yàn)槲也荒軒Э蛻暨^去參觀。我能做的只是展示圖片并且介紹,而且那正是在產(chǎn)生經(jīng)濟(jì)泡沫之后,所以沒有人真的想入會(huì),也沒有人有這個(gè)閑錢。
Todd: Wow, man so were you depressed? Were you sad?
哇,兄弟,那你沮喪嗎?難過嗎?
Roe: It was very interesting. It was hard to motivate myself. The people would call the police, and call me like a robber Yeah, yeah, cause I had to like open the gate and run to the door and stick my leg so that they won't shut the door.
很有趣。這份工作很難激勵(lì)我的斗志。人們會(huì)報(bào)警稱我是強(qiáng)盜,所以我只能打開院門,小跑到房門前用腿頂住門縫,以防他們關(guān)上屋門。
Todd: Seriously.
你是認(rèn)真的?
Roe: Yeah, that's how you do it. Door to door sells.
是的,是你也會(huì)這么做。這就是挨家挨戶的銷售。
Todd: Wow, that's, that's a tough job. I don't think I could do a job, what's your job now? What do you do now?
哇,真是一項(xiàng)艱苦的工作。我不認(rèn)為我能勝任這份工作,你現(xiàn)在在做什么?從事什么職業(yè)?
Roe: I am, I work for Yokohama city and I am in a place called Yokohama Convention Bureau. It's a city job.
我在橫濱市橫濱會(huì)議局工作。這是一份市政工作。
Todd: OK, so the Yokohama Convention Bureau. OK, so you deal with foreigners, naturally cause it's in English.

還有旅客和游客
Todd: Do you like your job now?
你熱愛你現(xiàn)在的工作嗎?
Roe: Interesting! Like I said I meet talk to about over 2,000 people a day, so it's kind of tiring though.
很有趣!如我所說的,我每天能和2000多人打交道,因此也是一份很辛苦的工作。
