英語(yǔ)播客初級(jí)版 第211期(外教講解):志愿者工作

Mark:Thanks a lot for pitching in once again， Judy, we really appreciate your help. It seems that at this time of year there are more and more people who are struggling to make ends meet. There aren’t many professional chefs like you who are so generous with their time.
Judy: Don’t be silly， Mark, I’m more than happy to donate my time to a good cause. Volunteering at the soup kitchen has been really rewarding for me. You know, it’s satisfying to provide good meals for those who are less fortunate, I feel like I’m really making a difference in some small way.
Mark: Well, your skills are definitely appreciated here! The people who come here have fallen on hard times and a delicious hot meal can really bolster their spirits. That smells great! The needy are sure lucky to have you!
Judy:Thanks Mark!
Judy:Here you go, enjoy your meal!
Old lady: Thank you my dear, Oh this looks lovely.
Judy:You’re welcome, Hello sir, today we have. . .are you doing here?
George: Hey Judy! I’ll have a little of everything, thanks...smells great!

George: Don’t be like that ,Judy, I really miss your home cooking!

Mark: 再次對(duì)您的辛勤工作表示感謝，Judy，謝謝你的幫忙。似乎今年這個(gè)時(shí)候有越來(lái)越多的人掙扎著使收支相抵，想你這樣慷慨貢獻(xiàn)出自己時(shí)間的專業(yè)廚師并不多。
Judy: Mark別傻了。我更愿去捐獻(xiàn)時(shí)間。在做湯的廚房里做自愿工作給予我很多回贈(zèng)。你知道，為那些不幸運(yùn)的人提供好的飯菜很讓人滿足，我真的柑橘自己在某些小的方面有所不同。
Mark: 這兒的人們都贊賞你的手藝，來(lái)這兒的人大多出境艱難，一頓熱乎的美味飯菜能讓他們的心情好起來(lái)。菜聞起來(lái)就很棒。生活艱苦的人有你幫助真是幸運(yùn)。
Judy: 謝謝，Mark!
Mark: 給你，用餐愉快。
Old lady: 謝謝，這菜看起來(lái)真可愛(ài)。
Judy: 不用謝。你好，先生，我們有……你在這兒干嘛?
George: 嗨，Judy。我什么都吃點(diǎn)，謝謝……聞起來(lái)真香。
Judy: George，說(shuō)正經(jīng)的，你在這兒干什么?從我們離婚后我就再也沒(méi)見(jiàn)到你。你沒(méi)有權(quán)力在這兒，你幾乎無(wú)家可歸了。
George: Judy別那樣，我真地懷念你做的家常菜。
