今天的这段对话，在讨论英国工作，
拿到了英国的假期工作签证能在英国做些什么工作
来听今天的讲解:
A: Hey, Tom, I have a student that just got a working holiday visa for the U.K., and she asked me what she will be able to do when she's out there, but I don't even know what a working holiday visa is, and I haven't been to the U.K., so I don't know what to tell her.
嗨，汤姆，我有个学生刚拿到了英国的假期工作签证，她问我她在那里能做什么，可是我连假期工作签证都不清楚，而且我也没去过英国，所以我不知道该怎么回答她。
B: Yeah, the working holiday visa is a pretty new thing. I think it lasts six months, and you can work for three months. It's pretty popular among students. Is her English OK?
假期工作签证是签证新政。这种签证的有效期是六个月，你可以工作三个月。这种签证非常受学生们的欢迎。她英语好吗？
A: Yeah, her English is pretty good.
她的英语非常好。
B: Then she shouldn't have a problem getting work in, well, I used to work in a bar when I was at university and that's pretty good work. It's in the evening and the pay is usually pretty basic.
那她找工作应该不会有问题，我上大学时在酒吧工作过，那份工作非常不错。工作时间是晚上，拿基本工资。
A: But you make tips, though, right.
可是你可以收小费。
B: English people don't tip.
英国人一般不给小费。
A: Oh, really.
哦，是吗？
B: You just have to put the hours in. You might get bought a couple of drinks, but you'll drink them up after the shift.
要做满时间。你也可以点酒喝，不过在换班后才能喝酒。
A: It'd definitley make you English better too. You're talking to people all the time.
这份工作一定能提高英语水平，因为你要一直和人们交流。
B: The best way to improve. You're expected to talk to the customers all night. But if you didn't like the bar, it's a bit noisy and it can be quite smokey, she could work in a restaurant, out front, taking people's orders. That's another way to use her English and to get to meet some different people and that will tip.
这是提高英语水平的最好方法。你整晚都要和顾客交流。不过如果她不喜欢酒吧，觉得酒吧又吵又有很多人吸烟，那她可以去餐厅工作，做服务员为人们点餐。这份工作也可以应用英语，而且可以见到不同的人，还有小费拿。
A: OK, you tip at restaurants, but not at bars.
哦，英国人在餐厅给小费，可是在酒吧不给。
B: That's right. Yeah.
没错，是这样的。
A: I see.
我知道了。
B: And if she was struggling a bit she could work in the back of a restaurant.
如果她觉得有困难，那可以去餐厅后厨工作。
A: Washing dishes or something like that. Yeah.
可以做洗盘子之类的工作。
B: That's not much fun.
那可不太有趣。
A: Yeah, I used to wash dishes, that was my first job ever and I remember my legs being so sore from standing up all day. It was a terrible job.
对，我以前洗过盘子，那是我的第一份工作，我记得站了一整天以后，我的腿非常酸。那是一份糟糕的工作。
B: I wouldn't recommend that one.
我不会推荐那种工作。
A: Yeah. So the working holiday though, you said it's three months but the visa is for 6 months, so you work for the second 3 months and then maybe you'd study for the first 3 months?
嗯，你刚说可以工作三个月，可是签证的有效期是六个月，所以是说前三个月学习，后三个月工作吗？
B: No, it's not for studying. It's a holiday. You travel. You go from place to place and you pick up jobs on the way.
不是，你并不是去学习的，是去度假的。你是去旅行的。你可以去不同的地方旅行，在旅行途中找工作。
A: OK, so, but still you, the second half is when you would work?
哦，所以后三个月是工作时间？
B: You can mix it up. You can work for a maximum of three months, but no more.
可以穿插进行。你最多可以工作三个月的时间，不能超过三个月。
A: Oh, that's interesting.
哦，这很有意思。
