听力原文及翻译

A: I thought the speaker's account of her first job was fascinating.

A：我认为演讲者对她的第一份工作的描述非常有趣。

B: Yeah, she admitted she was lucky to get work being a personal dresser for a musician, she didn't even apply for the job, and there she was getting paid to choose all his clothes.

B：是的，她承认自己很幸运能得到一份音乐家的私人服装师的工作，她甚至没有申请这份工作，但却能通过为他挑选衣服得到报酬。

A: It must have felt amazing, though she said all she was looking for back then was experience, not financial reward.

A：那感觉一定很棒，尽管她说当时她想要的只是经验，而不是经济回报。

B: Hmm...And then he was so mean telling her she was more interested in her own appearance than his.

B：嗯……然后他很刻薄地告诉她，她对自己的外表比对他的外表更感兴趣。

A: But she did realise he was right about that, which really made me think. I'm always considering my own clothes, but now I can see you should be focusing on your client.

A：但她确实意识到他说得对，这真的让我深思。我一直在考虑自己的衣服，但现在我明白你应该关注你的客户。

B: She obviously regretted losing the job.

B：她显然对失去这份工作感到遗憾。

A: Well as she said, she should have hidden her negative feelings about him, but she didn't.

A：正如她所说，她应该隐藏对他的负面情绪，但她没有。

B: It was really brave the way she picked herself up, and took that job in retail, fancy working in a shop after that.

B：她振作起来，接受零售业的工作，这真的很勇敢，之后在商店工作真是太棒了。

A: Yeah, well, she recommended we all do it at some point, I guess as a designer, you'd get to find out some useful information, like how big or small the average shopper is.

A：是的，她建议我们都在某个时候这样做，我想作为一名设计师，你会找到一些有用的信息，比如普通购物者的数量是多是少。

B: I think that's an issue for manufacturers, not designers. However, it would be useful to know if there's a gap in the market, you know, an item that no one's stocking, but that consumers are looking for.

B：我认为这是制造商的问题，而不是设计师的问题。然而，了解市场上是否存在空白是很有用的，你知道，有一种商品没有人存货，但消费者正在寻找。

A: Yeah, people don't give up searching they also take things back to the store if they aren't

right.

A：是的，人们不会放弃寻找，如果不合适，他们也会把东西退回商店。

B: Yeah, imagine you worked in an expensive shop and you found out the garments sold there were being returned because they fell apart in the wash.

B：是的，想象一下你在一家昂贵的商店工作，你发现那里卖的衣服被退回了，因为它们在洗的时候散了。

A: Yeah, it would be good to know that kind of thing.

A：是的，知道这种事情会很好。

B: Yeah.

B：是的。
