聽力原文及翻譯
B: Now if you're interested, we do offer some other possibilities to do with general maintenance. For example, if you have a problem with water, and you need a plumber in a hurry, we can put you in touch with a reliable one who can come out straight away, and the same thing if you need an electrician.
B:如果您感興趣的話,我們確實提供一些其他的一般維護服務。例如,如果您的水有問題,需要緊急找水管工,我們可以幫您聯(lián)系一個可靠的水管工,他可以馬上上門,如果您需要電工,我們也可以幫您聯(lián)系。
A: Right, that's good to know. I've only just moved here, so I don't have any of those sorts of contacts.
A:好的,很高興知道這個。我剛搬到這里,所以我沒有這類聯(lián)系方式。
B: And I don't know if this is of interest to you, but we also offer a special vacuum cleaning system, which can improve the indoor air quality of your home by capturing up to 99% of all the dust in the air, so if you're troubled by allergies, this can make a big difference.
B:我不知道您是否感興趣,我們還提供特殊的真空清潔系統(tǒng),它可以捕捉空氣中高達 99% 的灰塵,改善您家中的室內(nèi)空氣質(zhì)量,所以如果您有過敏問題,這可以帶來很大的幫助。
A: Right. In fact I don't have that sort of problem, but I'll bear it in mind. Now, can you tell me a bit about your cleaning staff?
A:嗯,事實上我沒有那種問題,但我會記住的?,F(xiàn)在,您能告訴我一些關于你們清潔人員的信息嗎?
B: Of course. So all our cleaners are very carefully selected. When they apply to us, they have to undergo a security check with the police to make sure they don't have any sort of criminal background, and of course they have to provide references as well. Then if we think they might be suitable for the job, we give them training for it, that lasts for two weeks, so it is very thorough. And at the end of it they have a test, if they pass that, we take them on. But we monitor them very carefully, we ask all our clients to complete
a review of their performance after every visit and to email it to us, so we can pick up any problems straight away and deal with them.
B:當然。所以我們所有的清潔工都是經(jīng)過精心挑選的。當他們向我們申請時,他們必須接受警方的安全檢查,以確保他們沒有任何犯罪背景,當然他們還必須提供推薦信。然后,如果我們認為他們可能適合這份工作,我們會對他們進行培訓,培訓持續(xù)兩周,非常徹底。最后他們會接受測試,如果他們通過了測試,我們就會錄用他們。但我們會非常仔細地監(jiān)控他們,我們要求所有客戶在每次訪問后完成對他們的表現(xiàn)的評估,并將其通過電子郵件發(fā)送給我們,這樣我們就可以立即發(fā)現(xiàn)任何問題并處理它們。
A: Okay, well, that all sounds good! And will I always have the same cleaner?
A:好的,聽起來不錯!會一直是同一個清潔工為我打掃嗎?
B: Yes. We do our best to organise it that way, and we usually manage it.
B:是的。我們盡力以這種方式安排,通常我們也能做到。
A: Good, that's fine.
A:很好,沒問題。
