第一段
1 .Holly: Hello Dr Green – I’m here to talk to you about my work placement.
霍莉:你好，格林博士。我是来跟你谈谈我的实习工作的。
2 .Tutor: Oh yes, it’s Holly, isn’t it?
导师:哦，是的，是霍莉，对吗?
3 .Holly: Yes.
霍莉:是的。
4 .Tutor: So, which work placement have you chosen?
导师:那么，你选择了哪个实习工作?
5 .Holly: I decided to go for the Orion Stadium placement. The event I’ll be managing is one where I’m helping to set up a sports competition for primary school children.
霍莉:我决定去猎户座体育场。我要主持的活动是帮助组织小学生体育竞赛。
6 .Tutor: Yup. That’s always a popular placement – even though it can be tougher than you think working with children.
老师:哦。这一直是一个很受欢迎的工作——尽管与孩子打交道比你想象的要困难。
7 .Holly: I know, but it’s the fresh air that attracts me – organising something indoors doesn’t have the same appeal, even though it might be fun.
霍莉:我知道，但吸引我的是新鲜空气——在室内组织活动没有同样的吸引力，尽管它可能很有趣。
8 .Tutor: OK, so obviously safety’s going to be one of your key concerns for this event.
导师:好的，所以显然安全性将是这次活动中你最关心的问题之一。
9 .Holly: Yes, I’ve already thought about that. I’ll need to make sure none of the equipment’s damaged.
霍莉:是的，我已经考虑过了。我得确保所有设备都完好无损。
10 .Tutor: Ah well, you’ll be working with schools, so the equipment will be their responsibility. However, the grounds and what goes on there will be yours.
导师:好吧，你会和学校一起合作，管理装备由他们负责。但是场地和场地上所发生的一切由你负责。
11 .Holly: Oh I see – that’ll include keeping everyone within the boundary once they’re in their kit and on the field?
霍莉: 哦，我懂了，一旦他们穿上装备进入场地，我就要保证每个人都好好待在场地里面不能出界?
12 .Tutor: Exactly – you’ll need to inspect areas like changing rooms as well for anything someone can trip over, but your main priority will be not to lose anyone!
导师: 是的！你要检查更衣室，要保证没有人会被东西绊倒，但是你的主要职责是不能丢了任何人！
13 .Holly: Right. I’ll need staff to help with that.
霍莉:好。我需要员工帮忙。
14 .Tutor: And don’t forget about the spectators.
导师:别忘了观众。
15 .Holly: Mmm. I was thinking that many of them will be parents, who could help run the event.
荷莉:嗯。我在想，他们中的许多人会是家长，他们可以帮忙。
16 .Tutor: I wouldn’t rely on that. They’ll be more interested in filming their children than volunteering.
导师:我不这么认为。他们更感兴趣的是给自己的孩子拍照，而不是做志愿者。
17 .Holly: I’ll need to make sure they don’t interfere with events doing that!
霍莉:我需要确保他们这样不会干扰比赛!
18 .Tutor: And that’s not always easy, especially when a proud parent’s trying to get a snap of their child and you want them to move elsewhere.
导师: 那是很不容易的。尤其当一个傲慢的家长正在尝试给他们的孩子拍照，而你却希望把他们安排到别的位置时。
19 .Holly: OK. What about the scheduling?
霍莉:好的。日程安排如何?
20 .Tutor: With sporting events there are all sorts of things that can alter the timetable – like rain, for instance – though so far, we’ve always been lucky with that.
导师:体育赛事有各种各样的事情可能改变时间表，比如下雨，尽管到目前为止，我们在这方面一直很幸运。
21 .Holly: Yeah, and I was thinking about what to do if someone got hurt as well. I know that last year that caused a terrible delay.
霍莉:是啊，我还在想如果有人受伤了该怎么办。我知道去年那件事造成了严重的延误。
22 .Tutor: You have to be prepared for such things.
导师:你必须为这些事情做好准备。
23 .Holly: Oh. What if a match ends in a draw – do you let the teams keep going until someone wins?
荷莉:哦。如果一场比赛以平局结束，你会让两队继续比赛直到其中一个获胜吗?
24 .Tutor: That’ll be up to you – and again, you need to plan for it.
导师:这取决于你——同样，你需要为此做计划。
25 .Holly: Right.
霍莉:好的。
第二段
1 .Tutor: Now, the aim of your work placement is to give you the opportunity to develop the skills that an events manager needs. So, let’s talk about those a bit.
导师:现在，你实习的目的是给自己一个机会，提高作为活动经理的能力。我们来谈谈这些。
2 .Holly: Well, I think my communication skills are pretty good. I can talk on the phone to people and book venues and that kind of thing.
霍莉:嗯，我认为我的沟通技巧很好。我可以打电话给别人，预定场地之类的。
3 .Tutor: Good – just remember it isn’t only about what you say. If you meet someone face-to-face and want to persuade them to be a sponsor, for example …
导师:很好——只要记住这不仅仅在于你说什么。例如，如果你和某人面对面交谈，想说服他们成为你的投资人……
4 .Holly: Oh, I’ll dress up for that! Sure.
霍莉:哦，我一定会好好打扮一番的！
5 .Tutor: Good. Let’s go on to think about your organisational skills. You’re working in a very people-based industry and that means things won’t always go to plan.
老师:很好。接下来我们讨论你的组织技能。你在一个和人打交道的行业工作，这意味着事情并不总是会依照计划进行。
6 .Holly: I guess it’s being prepared to make changes that matters.
霍莉: 我想，时刻准备着改变计划是很重要的。
7 .Tutor: That’s right. You may have to make an on-the-spot change to a timetable because of a problem you hadn’t anticipated …
导师: 是的。当你遇到你不曾料想过的问题时，你需要立即调整时间表。
8 .Holly: … just do it! OK.
霍莉:……就这么做!好的。
9 .Tutor: How’s your time management these days?
导师:最近你的时间管理怎么样?
10 .Holly: I’m working on it – I’m certainly better when I have a deadline, which is why this work suits me.
霍莉:我正在做——有截止日期的时候我肯定会做得更好，这就是为什么这个工作适合我。
11 .Tutor: Yes, but it’s how you respond as that deadline approaches!
导师: 是的，但是当截止日期来临时，你如何应对很重要！
12 .Holly: I know I’ve got to look calm even if I’m in a panic.
霍莉: 我知道就算我很恐慌，我也必要看起来很冷静。
13 .Tutor: Just think to yourself – no one must know I’m under pressure.
导师:只要你自己想想——应该没有人知道我有压力。
14 .Holly: Yeah – even though I’m multi-tasking like crazy!
霍莉:是啊——即使我在疯狂地同时处理多项任务!
15 .Tutor: Another skill that events managers need is creativity. Often your client has what we call the ‘big picture’ idea, but it’s up to the events manager to think of all the fine points that go to making it work.
导师:活动经理需要的另一项技能是创造力。通常，你的客人会有一个宏观的想法。你作为活动经理，要去想好所有的细节，使得客人的想法能够实施。
16 .Holly: Right, so I need to listen carefully to that idea and then fill in all the gaps.
霍莉:对，所以我需要仔细听这个想法，然后使其变得充实可落地。
17 .Tutor: That’s right. And you’ll have a team working under you, so another key skill is leadership. Your team may have lots of ideas too, but you’ve got to make the ultimate choices. Do we have refreshments inside or out, for example?
导师:没错。你会有一个团队在你的领导下工作，所以另一个关键技能是领导能力。你的团队可能也有很多想法，但你必须做出最终选择。比如，我们的茶点应该放在室内还是室外?
18 .Holly: Isn’t it better to be democratic?
霍莉:民主抉择不是更好吗?
19 .Tutor: It’s a nice idea, but you have the ultimate responsibility. So, believe in what you think best. Be prepared to say ‘yes’, that’s a good idea but it won’t work here.
导师:这是个好主意，但是你负有最终的责任。所以，相信你自己的判断。随时准备好同意某个方案（这种决策方式）是个好主意，但在这里行不通。
20 .Holly: I see what you mean. What about the networking side of things? I know it’s an area that a lot of students worry about because we don’t have much experience to offer others.
霍莉:我明白你的意思了。那建立人脉方面呢?我知道这是一个很多学生担心的领域，因为我们没有太多的经验可以提供给别人。
21 .Tutor: But even without it – you can still be an interesting person with useful ideas. And the more people you impress, the better.
导师:但是即使没有这些经验，你仍然可以成为一个有想法且有趣的人。你打动的人越多越好。
22 .Holly: I guess that will help me when I apply for a real job.
霍莉:我想这对我真正找工作时很有帮助。
23 .Tutor: Exactly – think ahead – remember what your ambitions are and keep them in mind.
导师:完全正确——提前思考——记住你的抱负是什么，并把它们记在心里。
24 .Holly: Definitely.
荷莉:当然。
