今天的这段对话，在讨论不想做的工作，
工作种类很多其中有一些没有想象中那么好，你不想做哪种工作
来听今天的讲解:
A: So, Jeff, you asked me about what kind of job I'd like. Well, what about a job you definitely you wouldn't want to do. There's lots of jobs out there and some of them aren't so good, so what would you not want to do?
杰夫，你之前问过我我喜欢哪种工作。现在我们来谈谈你绝对不想做的工作。工作种类很多，其中有一些不是那么好，你不想做哪种工作？
B: That's a difficult question. I don't like working period, really.
这是个难以回答的问题。我不太喜欢工作时间。
A: Yeah, but who does?
谁会喜欢呢？
B: Yes, that's right, but I think a type of job I wouldn't like to do would be an office job, a straight desk job, where it is just task work, where you get paper — maybe sort of like an accountant — where you are doing nothing but sitting at your desk sort of by yourself all day, crunching numbers or putting things into the computer. I think it's very anti-social, a little bit boring, not so healthy, and even if the pay was good, I still wouldn't want to do it because you're compromising your life, which is short, to something that's not so fun so maybe a desk job, something at a desk, I wouldn't like to do. How about you? What job would you not like to do?
没错，我不喜欢的工作是那种办公室工作，我不喜欢在办公桌工作，不喜欢做那种任务工作，面对一堆文件，比如说会计，一整天就只是坐在办公桌前，自己处理数据，或是把数据输入电脑。我认为这种工作非常反社会，而且有点无聊，也不健康，即使工资不错，我也不想做这种工作，因为这是在浪费生命，所以像这种有点无聊的工作或者说是办公桌工作是我不想去做的。你呢？你不想做哪种工作？
A: Well, to be honest with you I don't think I would make a very good police officer. I really wouldn't want to be a police officer. I know it's exciting and it's always different but I kind of feel like I would be judging people and I'm not anti-police. I think they're needed but sometimes I don't agree with everything that a government believes in and I think it would be difficult for me to be busting people for somethings that I don't agree with. And I think that, you know, it's a hard job. It's a hard job and you've got to deal with people that you know need help in different ways, and a police officer is just coming and putting them in jail.
说实话，我认为我不可能成为优秀的警察。我不太想当警察。我知道这个工作很刺激，而且与众不同，不过我会认为这种工作是在评判别人，不过我并不是反警察。我认为警察是很必要的，不过我不是完全认同政府的一切决定，我认为对我来说因为某件事去搜捕某人很难，我不同意这种做法。我觉得这是一项很难的工作。因为要和不同的人打交道，有些人可能也会需要一些帮助，可是警察只是把他们关进监狱。
B: Another thing, sort of related to police officer is I wouldn't want to be a nurse or a doctor.
说到警察，我想我不想当护理人员或医生。
A: Oh, I'm surprised.
哦，这让我很惊讶。
B: A great job and it would be rewarding to save people's lives or to make them better if they're sick, to make them healthy again, but I hate blood.
这是伟大的工作，而且可以挽救人们的生命，让人们更健康，帮助生病的人重获健康，可是我讨厌血。
A: Oh, really.
哦，真的吗？
B: I can't stand blood so if there is... I can't even stand somebody with a bloody nose so I think in a situation where there is any blood around I wouldn't be your man.
我真的不能忍受血……我甚至不能和流鼻血的人站在一起，所以我不能在会出现血的环境中工作。
A: Well, I think another job I wouldn't want to be is a garbage man, to be honest with you.
嗯，说实话，另一个我不想做的工作是清洁工。
B: Oh, a garbage man would be great.
哦，清洁工还不错啊。
A: I understand. Like, I like the idea of driving from house to house. I think I would be a great post office worker, and I don't mind the manual labor of just lifting stuff up and stuff.
我知道。我喜欢从一家开车去另一家这种方式。不过我想我可能想成为邮局工作人员，我不介意做搬东西这种体力劳动。
B: A bit smelly though.
会有点臭。
A: Yeah. That's the biggest thing. I think the smell would really get to me, like kind of like you were with blood. I think that eventually that smell would sometimes make me sick, and you'd be surprised what people people throw away. I mean, needles, all kinds of things, dirty diapers. Things like that. I don't think I could deal with that very well.
对。这是最大的问题。我真的受不了臭味，就像你受不了血一样。我想那种臭味会让我想吐，你可能会对人们扔了什么垃圾感到惊讶。可能会有各种东西，比如面条，脏尿布这种东西。我想我不能应对这些。
B: OK, so you'll never be a garbage man and I'll never be a nurse.
好，你永远不会做清洁工，而我也永远不会做护理人员。
A: Ah, fair enough I suppose.
我觉得这很对。
