今天的这段对话，在讨论工作，
 
你第一份工作是什么？这份工作做了多长时间
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: Lois, what was your first job?
 
洛伊斯，你第一份工作是什么？
 
B: The first job I had was a sales assistant in a shoe shop.
 
我的第一份工作是在一家鞋店做销售助理。
 
A: Oh, shoes.
 
哦，鞋。
 
B: Shoe shop, yeah! When I was fifteen, I got my first job and I used to work every Saturday for maybe 8 hours a day and I used to earn, 1 pound 77 pence per hour.
 
鞋店，对！那时我15岁，我得到了第一份工作，我每周六工作八个小时，当时的工资是每小时1.77英镑。
 
A: It doesn't sound like very much.
 
听上去挣得不多。
 
B: No, so in England now, the minimum I think is maybe 5 pounds.
 
的确是，现在英格兰的最低工资大概是每小时5英镑。
 
A: Oh, wow!
 
哦，哇！
 
B: So by the time I'd got the bus to Bournemouth,the town, and bought my breakfast at Mcdonald's, and then gone out for lunch and then got the bus home, I had no money left, but at the time cause I got paid at the end of the month, I always thought I had money, because suddenly all this money would appear in my bank account, but then I would have already spent it all, within the day of work.
 
那时我要坐公交去伯恩茅斯镇，在麦当劳买早餐吃，中午去餐厅吃饭，然后下班坐公交车回家，我几乎存不下什么钱，不过因为我是在月末拿工资，我总觉得我有钱，原因是这些钱会突然出现在我的银行帐户上，可是之后我就会在上班的期间把它们都花完。
 
A: Wow. So how long did you last at this job?
 
哇。你这份工作做了多长时间？
 
B: I worked all together I think in three different shoe shops, so the first one I worked in for a year and then that one closed down, so then they moved me to another one, the same company, and then from that one I moved to another one , but then I had to leave my job when I had to do my exams at school cause I needed to study.
 
我想我一共在三家鞋店做过，第一家店我干了大概一年，后来那家鞋店倒闭了，于是他们把我调去了同一个公司的另一家店，然后我又去了第三家店，不过后来我不得不辞职，因为我要准备学校的考试，我要学习。
