美語情景對話 第1196期:What is your dream job? 你的理想工作是什麼?

Tom: Hi, my name's Tom from the UK.

湯姆：嗨，我是湯姆，我來自英國。

Jess: And I'm Jess, I'm also from the UK.

傑茜：我是傑茜，我也來自英國。

Tom: We're both English teachers but is this your dream job Jess?

湯姆：我們兩個人都是英國老師，傑茜，這是你的理想工作嗎？

Jess: It's not my dream job, no. My dream job would be as a backing singer I think. I really love music and I'd love to go on tour with a really, really, good singer like Tina Turner or somebody but not have all pressure of being the main singer, just like making it sound more beautiful from the background. How about you?

傑茜：不是，老師並不是我的理想職業。我向往的工作是伴唱歌手。我非常熱愛音樂，我想和像蒂娜·特納一樣優秀的歌手一起巡演，還不用承擔主音歌手的壓力，就在幕後爲音樂潤色。你呢？

Tom: I'm like you, I also think I've got a more creative streak that needs to break out. But for me it would be in probably writing. But I've got no idea how to begin. Any advice?

湯姆：我和你一樣，我認爲我充滿創造力，需要將這些創造力發揮出來。我想從事寫作類的工作。不過我不知道要怎麼開始。你有什麼建議嗎？

Jess: Sorry, can't help you there.

傑茜：抱歉，我幫不了你。
