英语口语流行话题(MP3+中英字幕) 第42期:SOHO一族21 2

A: Hey! What are you reading? You almost lost yourself in it.

A: 嘿!你看什么呢?这么投入。

B: A newspaper.

B: 看报纸呢。

A: Is there any big news?

A: 有什么头条新闻吗?

B: No, but the report about freelancers is very interesting.

B: 头条新闻倒没什么，不过这篇关于自由职业者的报道倒是蛮有趣的。

A: Being a freelancer sounds very stimulating. You can control your working time and don't need to get up early.

A: 自由职业者昕着就让人兴奋。自己掌握工作时间，不用每天那么早起床。

B: That's true, but it's not a good choice for everyone to be a freelancer. It needs a strong ability in self-control.

B: 那倒是，不过自由职业者也不是每个人都能当的。它需要很强的自我控制能力。

A: If I have power to decide my working hours one day, I will get up at eleven o'clock in the morning.

A: 如果哪天我能向己控制上班时间的话，我一定早上十一点再起床。

B: Haha, then you will be dying of hunger. In addition to self-control ,I think a freelancer must be patient and persistent enough. The report says that at the beginning, the freelancer may gain nothing for months.

B: 哈哈，那你就等着饿死吧。除了自控力，我觉得自由职业者还要有足够的耐心，经得起时间的考验。报道说自由职业者在刚起步阶段有可能会连续几个月都分文不进。

A: It seems that a freelancer should also be a good saver.

A: 这么看来自由职业者都应该有存钱的好习惯。

B: I think so. From this point, both of us I have been denied being a freelancer.

B: 我想是的。从这点来讲，我们俩都当不了自由职业者了。
