DIALOGUE 76
1--How many hours a week are you working at the
moment?
2--Erm--well I'm working Monday to Friday...
plus...
1---Is it...are you working more at the moment?
2--Yes, I'm doing three, well I usually do three
evenings a week, but the evenings, erm. that
I'm working are usually a little bit longer
than any other time of the year, and I will
do the occasional Saturday, 'cause obviously
Saturday's a popular day.
===================================
注解：
1）occasional：偶爾的，非經常的。注意這句話中文
與英文的說法區(qū)別很大。
2）'cause=because
3）a popular day：原義指星期六是假日，顧客較多，
因而商店，餐館也需打工的學生干活。譯文與原文略有
不同。
===================================
譯文

1--是嗎?你目前工作時間較多吧?
2--是的,我現(xiàn)在一個星期有三個晚上打工.我通常
也是一星期三個晚上打工。不過眼下晚上工作的
時間比其它季節(jié)晚上時間要長些。偶爾星期六也
干活，因為顯然星期六工作好找。
