Liz, Graphic Design to Pastry Chef

J: Hello everyone! I'm Jody. Welcome to American Cafe

Y: 各位好，我是楊晨。歡迎您到美語(yǔ)咖啡屋。

J: Our guest today is Liz. She's a friend of mine and also a neighbor in the house where I live.

Y: Jody, 你又采訪了你的朋友？我看你快把你的朋友和鄰居得罪光了。

J: Oh, no no. They're used to it. And I think they really enjoy it. Anyway, Liz and I we were talking the other day and I found out that she changed her job.

Y: 那她原來(lái)是做什么的？

J: Graphic Design. Graphic. G-R-A-H-I-C Design. D-E-S-I-G-N

Y: Graphic Design 就是圖像設(shè)計(jì)。那下面我們就請(qǐng)Liz 介紹一下什么是 graphic design。

實(shí)錄1: Liz: Hmmm Graphic Design. I guess dealing with visual matter for a specific purpose.

J: Graphic Design pretty much deals with visual matter for a specific purpose.

Y:這聽(tīng)起來(lái)挺不錯(cuò)的嘛。她為什么要換工作呢？

J: Well, according to Liz she is not a technology-oriented person. And if you're a graphic designer you really need to like technology and especially computers.

Y: 那她后來(lái)?yè)Q了什么工作？

J: Her current job is a pastry chef! Pastry is spelled p-a-s-t-r-y. Chef, c-h-e-f. Pastry Chef! Everybody loves a pastry chef!

Y: Pastry chef是做糕點(diǎn)的師傅。這很奇怪，作糕點(diǎn)的師傅和圖像設(shè)計(jì)好象沒(méi)有什么關(guān)系啊。

J: Well, not really. There is a connection between graphic design and making pastries.

Y: 你又跟我開(kāi)玩笑！

J: Well, Liz says that her love of being creative and working with her hands are found in both graphic design and pastry making. Again, here's Liz.

實(shí)錄2: Liz: I'm not a very technology-oriented person. So, um, I don't know, I just...I love to cook and I thought the creative side of side of pastry would be good, um, mixed with the graphic design past. The love of being creative and just working with your hands ... so, I just decided to do pastry.

Y: 創(chuàng)造力和動(dòng)手的能力...yeah, 這么說(shuō)起來(lái)圖像設(shè)計(jì)和做糕點(diǎn)是有點(diǎn)關(guān)系。 Liz剛才說(shuō)到 "technology-oriented." 人們常常用它來(lái)形容一個(gè)人有技術(shù)頭腦，對(duì)技術(shù)感興趣。

J: For example, "I am a very nature-oriented person." Or another example, "He is not very mechanically-oriented." You try it, Yang Chen.

Y: I'm not a very work-oriented person.

J: Okay. I would have to agree with that. That's funny. Um, let's hear more about why Liz chose to become a pastry chef.

實(shí)錄3: Liz: First of all people have sweet tooth so they need to satisfy that.

Y: 說(shuō)一個(gè)人有a big sweet tooth就是說(shuō)這個(gè)人特別喜歡吃甜的東西。

J: Exactly! I have a big sweet tooth! Again here's Liz.

實(shí)錄4: Liz: I think a cake can bring people together. 'Cause a cake is kind of a form of a card you can write things on it.

Y: 她說(shuō)的沒(méi)錯(cuò)。蛋糕就象是一張卡片一樣，人們可以在上面畫(huà)圖畫(huà)，可以寫(xiě)字，比如生日快樂(lè)，或者放一朵花；你可以把它裝飾得非常漂亮。說(shuō)起來(lái)甜點(diǎn)，那Liz做這一行賺錢(qián)嗎？

J: Oh absolutely there's always a celebration or significant event where you need a cake.

實(shí)錄5: Liz: A wedding, birthday, um ... graduation, um... Oh boy, I'm drawing a blank.

Y: "I'm drawing a blank" 這是什么意思呢？

J: To draw a blank means that ah, well, you know ... it's kind of like when your mind is ... What were we talking about?

Y: 我現(xiàn)在明白了。就象你這樣，完全忘了剛才說(shuō)什么，腦袋一片空白。

J: That is drawing a blank. Thanks for joining us on American Cafe. See you next time!

Y: 謝謝收聽(tīng)美語(yǔ)咖啡屋，我們下次節(jié)目再見(jiàn)！
