今天的这段对话，在讨论飞行员，
 
如何才能成为飞行员？需要提前做什么准备
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: So Shuan, you're a student at the university, and you will be graduating soon. What are your future plans? What kind of jon do you want?
 
肖恩，你现在是大学生，马上就要毕业了。你未来的计划是什么？你想做什么工作？
 
B: Right now actually, I'm trying to get into Japan Airlines and an international pilot.
 
其实我正在为进入日本航空公司当一名国际飞行员努力。
 
A: Oh, you want to be a pilot.
 
哦，你想成为飞行员。
 
B: Yeah, actually, I've already got a private pilot's license and, well...
 
对，我已经拿到私人飞机驾驶执照了……
 
A: You can fly a plane?
 
你可以驾驶飞机？
 
B: I can but only a single engine plane.
 
我只能驾驶单引擎飞机。
 
A: Still, that's pretty cool.
 
那也很酷啊。
 
B: It was pretty fun, yeah.
 
对，非常有意思。
 
A: So, why do you like flying? What's the cool thing about flying?
 
你为什么喜欢飞行？你觉得飞行最酷的地方是什么？
 
B: Well, basically my father was a pilot and I just got interested in that through him. I've always like planes and machines and I thought maybe the best job for me would be to become a pilot.
 
因为我父亲以前是名飞行员，所以我在他的耳濡目染下也对飞行产生了兴趣。我一直都非常喜欢飞机和机械类的东西，我认为最适合我的工作可能就是飞行员了。
 
A: Oh, that's cool. That's really cool. So how do you become a pilot? Like what do you have to do? What's the process?
 
真酷。这太酷了。你要如何成为飞行员？你都要做什么准备？流程是怎样的？
 
B: There's diffent ways of becoming a pilot. First, you can pay for it by yourself. You have to attend school. You have to take tests and eventually you gain your commercial license and then you can apply to an airline company that way. Another way is for you to go directly into an airline company from out of high school, or out of university, and they will train you and it's all paid for. They actually will give you a salary for the time that they are training you so you are actually going to make money in the time except that the airline will make you work harder.
 
成为飞行员有不同的方法。第一个方法是你自己支付学费学习。你要去学校学习，经过测试拿到商业执照后，你就可以达到航空公司的要求。还有一种方法是高中毕业或大学毕业后直接进入航空公司，他们会培训你，而这笔费用是公司支付的。航空公司在培训你的时候也会支付你薪水，所以你可以领到工资，不过航空公司会让你更努力地工作。
 
A: Right, right. Still, that's a pretty good gig though.
 
好，好的。那也不错。
 
B: It is a really good deal, yeah, and the third way is to get a private pilot's license first so you already know the basics of how to fly and then try to get, try to get in a company and then they'll train you the rest of the way and usually you get a higher salary that way, so.
 
这是笔非常划算的交易，第三种方法是要先获得私人飞机驾驶执照，了解飞行的基础知识，然后进入一家航空公司，他们会培训你其他的飞行技能，通常来说这种方法能获得更高的工资。
 
A: So what way are you doing it? How are you trying to get into Japan Airlines?
 
那你选择的是哪种方法？你要怎么进入日本航空公司？
 
B: Well, since I've already got my private pilot's license I'm going to try and get in pretty much half way through it, so I won't need as much training. I'll probably get a better salary and hopefully, hopefully I'll actually be able to fly for JAL.
 
我已经拿到私人飞机驾驶执照了，我正在应征航空公司，实际上我已经成功一半了，因为我不需要太多培训。我可能会得到更高的薪水，而且我希望我能为日本航空公司飞行。
 
A: Well, good luck. I hope it works out.
 
嗯，祝你好运。希望你能成功。
 
B: I do too.
 
我也这么希望。
