利婭:我是利婭。
Santi: We're both from Indonesia. And today's question that I'd like to ask you is ... Is it common to have a house keeper in Indonesia?
桑蒂:我們都來自印度尼西亞。今天要討論的問題是,在印尼請(qǐng)管家普遍嗎?
Lia: Yes, it is common to have a housekeeper in Indonesia because, especially, in big cities like Jakarta when both parents are working so they need someone to take care of the household chores. They need someone to take care of the children to prepare them a meal, or to help them actually so it is common.
利婭:在印尼請(qǐng)管家很普遍,尤其是像雅加達(dá)這樣的大城市,父母都要工作時(shí),需要請(qǐng)人來處理家務(wù)。他們需要請(qǐng)人來照顧孩子,給孩子準(zhǔn)備飯,或是幫助他們,所以非常普遍。
Santi: Yes, and it's convenient, really convenient because they can do all the cooking, all the cleaning and all we have to do is ask them politely.
桑蒂:對(duì),而且這樣做很方便,因?yàn)樽鲲?、打掃等工作全由管家?fù)責(zé),我們只要禮貌地請(qǐng)他們做事就可以了。
Lia: Yes, that's very important.
利婭:對(duì),那點(diǎn)非常重要。
