中介：是的。

STUDENT: So is this the Student Job Centre?

学生：学生就业中心是在这儿吗？

AGENT: It certainly is. How can I help you?

中介：没错。有什么能帮您的吗？

STUDENT: Well, actually I'm looking for a job - a part-time job.

学生：是这样的，我想找一份工作——兼职的。

Do you have anything available at the moment?

现在有招聘的信息吗？

AGENT: Ah, yes ... Are you a registered student?

中介：啊，有的……您是在这里注册的学生吗？

I'm afraid this service is only available to full-time students.

Here's my student card.

这是我的学生证。

AGENT: Which year are you in?

中介：您现在大几？

STUDENT: Well ... I've been at uni for four years but I'm in the Third Year because I took last year off.

学生：这个……我在学校已经待了四年了，但我现在还在读大三，因为去年我休学了。

AGENT: Right ... well, let's just have a look at what positions are available at the moment.

中介：好的……我们来看看现在都有些什么工作。

There's a job working at the reception desk at the Sports Centre, for three evenings a week - that's Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

有一个体育中心前台的工作，每周三个晚上——周三到周五。

STUDENT: That sounds like fun but unfortunately I have evening lectures - so that's not possible, I'm afraid.

学生：这工作挺有意思的，可惜我晚上有课，所以恐怕不行。

Is there anything during the day?

有白天的工作吗？

AGENT: OK, that's no good then.

中介：好的，这个不行。

Um. What about cleaning? There's a position for a cleaner at the Child Care Centre.

嗯，做清洁可以吗？儿童看护中心有一份清洁的工作。

STUDENT: Right ...

STUDENT: Six o'clock in the morning!

学生：早上6点！

Oh, that's far too early for me, I'm afraid.

这也太早了！

I'd never make it that early in the morning.

我从没这么早起过。

AGENT: Mmm ... Well - there was a position going in the Computer Lab for three days a week that might be OK.

中介：呃……对了——计算机实验室之前有一个职位空缺，每周只工作三天，应该符合你的要求。

Ah, here it is! No, it's in the Library, not the Lab.

啊，找到了！不对，是图书馆，不是实验室。

Clerical Assistant required - I think it mostly involves putting the books back on the shelves.

招的是助理文员，主要的工作我估计就是把书放回书架。

Oh no - hang on. It's for Wednesday and Friday evenings again.

噢不，等等……这个时间也是周三到周五晚上。

STUDENT: NO - I can't manage that because of the lectures.

学生：这个不行，我晚上都有课。

AGENT: OK, I'm getting the idea.

中介：好的。我明白了。

Look, I'll just get a few details from you anyway, and then we can check through the list and see what comes up.

我先收集一些你的个人信息，然后我们从职位列表上扫一圈看有什么合适的。

中介：我们先来填一下工作申请表上的一些个人信息吧。

STUDENT: Yes, that's fine.
