你曾做過的最無聊的工作是什么?你是怎么對(duì)待的?
[00:08.39]I don't really think I've ever had a boring job,but if I have to choose one,it would probably be the winter job I had at a post office
when I was in high school.
我并不覺得過去有哪些工作很無聊,不過,如果我必須選擇一個(gè)的話,那可能就是我高中寒假時(shí)在郵局的那份工作。
[00:19.18]The job involved sorting New Year's postcards for delivery for eight hours a day every day for about a month.
工作內(nèi)容是投遞賀年卡前的分類工作,在大約一個(gè)月的時(shí)間里,每天都要工作八小時(shí)。
[00:26.19]I don't know how it is done now,but back then it was all done manually.
我不知道現(xiàn)在郵局是怎樣分類的,但是那時(shí)候全部都是靠手工來完成。
[00:31.06]I got the knack immediately,so I had to make it more interesting and challenging for myself—I timed myself sorting the postcards and
every time I tried to finish faster and faster.
我很快就學(xué)會(huì)了分類的技巧,所以我必須讓這個(gè)工作變得更有趣,更有挑戰(zhàn)性才行。我計(jì)算我分卡片的時(shí)間,每次我都試著比上一次更快完成。
[00:42.54]The full-time worker who supervised me was impressed and said I was the fastest and also the most accurate.
負(fù)責(zé)指導(dǎo)監(jiān)督我的郵局員工對(duì)此印象深刻,并且說我是做得最快也最精確的。
[00:49.24]It was a great experience for a high school student.
對(duì)高中生而言,那是一次非常棒的經(jīng)歷。
