Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English. I’m Neil and today I’m joined by Dan, a producer at BBC Learning English. That's what he does for a living.

欢迎收听六分钟英语。我是尼尔，今天和我一起主持节目的是琼，她是BBC英语学习的新成员。对她来说，这其实是一项新工作。

Hello everyone… Yes, that's part of my job, of course – why is Neil bringing this up now?

大家好！显然，这是我的职责所在。那么，现在我们为什么要讨论这个呢？

So you haven't always worked as a producer at BBC Learning English, have you?

你之前并不一直都是BBC英语学习的制片人，对吧？不过，现在你参与英语学习制作是很不错的。

No… I used to be a teacher.

是的，我以前是一名老师。

And prior to that? A long time ago – your very first job?

之前嘛？很长时间以前，你的第一份工作是什么？

When I was 14, I used to have a paper round. This involved delivering newspapers to people's homes, and it's a job commonly held by teenagers.

在我十四岁的时候，我曾经有过送报纸的经历。这份工作指的是把报纸递送到各家各户。通常是由青少年来做这份工作。

The topic of this 6 Minute English podcast episode is whether schoolchildren should have jobs, and the hosts will be discussing the trend of fewer schoolchildren having jobs these days. They will also be introducing 6 job-related words and expressions and posing a quiz question. Are you prepared?

学龄儿童在14岁开始工作，似乎有点过早了。今天我们要讨论的话题是：学龄儿童是否应该从事工作？根据数据统计，此类现象如今日益减少。接下来，我们会介绍六个与工作相关的单词和短语，以及我们的讨论问题。你做好准备了吗？

You bet!

当然！

What is the minimum age at which children are legally permitted to work in the UK? a) 12, b) 13, c) 14

在英国，允许工作的最小年龄是c) 14岁。

I would say 14 because that was my age and it feels like a really long time ago!

我选择14岁开始工作，因为那是我开始工作的年龄，虽然这已经是很久之前的事了！

We'll see if your prediction is correct when the program concludes. To begin, let's listen to some British teenagers discussing their Saturday jobs.

让我们接下来看一下，您的回答是否正确。现在，让我们听听一些英国青少年分享关于他们打工经历的故事。

Part-time work that teenagers do for extra money is commonly referred to as a Saturday job. While the name implies that these jobs usually occur on Saturdays, they may not always be limited to that day.

Saturday job是指青少年在周六或其他时间做兼职工作赚取金钱的一种表达。名称中的“Saturday”指的是周六，但实际上这些兼职工作并不限定只在周六进行。

Yes, the term "Saturday job" is commonly used to refer to part-time work typically done by teenagers, although it can actually take place on any day of the week. Now, let’s listen to what these British children have to say about their part-time work experiences.

是的，"Saturday job"是用来描述青少年做兼职工作的术语，不一定局限于星期六。他们可能在周日或者一周中的其他任何一天工作。我们一起听听这些英国青少年讲述他们的打工经历吧！

We are responsible for ensuring that the items on the shelves are well-organized and easily accessible for customers. If customers need assistance locating products, we are here to help them.

我们需要处理货架上的所有商品，使它们整齐有序地陈列，同时让顾客知道他们所需的商品在哪里。

During an average week, I work nine hours, splitting my time between two hours for two school nights and four hours on Saturday, and two hours on Sunday. When school holidays come around, I am able to work more.

我每周平均工作九小时，上课期间会安排两个小时在两天中，周六会工作四小时，周日会工作两小时。如果学校放假的话，我能够增加工作时间。

The initial teenager stated that the task entails ensuring the shelves appear organized. Working in a shop is a common Saturday job.

一个青少年说，她的工作主要是保持货架的整洁有序。这是典型的周六工作。

Yes, I have spent numerous weekends and evenings stacking shelves! The second job teenagers might have usually involves working on Saturdays, Sundays, and evenings. Just as we mentioned – a Saturday job doesn't only mean working on Saturdays.

是的，我之前几个周末和晚上都在整理货架。第二个青少年周六周日和平时晚上都有做兼职。就像我们之前所讨论的，周六的工作不一定非要在周六进行。

In the UK, having a Saturday job is almost considered a rite of passage. This term is used to describe events or ceremonies that mark significant stages in a person's life.

在英国，周六打工可以说是一种仪式。它被看作是一种成人仪式，赋予了一些纪念日或事件重要的意义，成为一个人生中重要的阶段。

That's true – like graduating from school, or having children. But according to the latest statistics in the UK, things are changing. Here's a BBC report on it.

是的，就像是经历了学校毕业或者生小孩一样。不过据最新的英国统计数据显示，这些情况正在发生变化。让我们来听听BBC的报道。

In order to work legally, individuals need to obtain a permit from the local authority. Our data indicates that the number of permits issued has decreased from almost 30,000 in 2012 to only 23,000 in 2016. Employers often express concern about the limited work experience of young people. However, teenagers are also experiencing pressure to prioritize their studies over taking on part-time jobs.

根据我们的数据显示，雇主经常抱怨年轻人缺乏工作经验。但是，由于青少年需要专心于自己的学业，无法进行兼职工作，他们想要工作需要当地有关机构的许可，然而我们的数据显示，从2012年的3万份下降至2016年的2.3万份。

It appears that fewer teenagers are pursuing Saturday jobs, leading to a conflicting situation.

年轻人似乎越来越少地从事兼职工作，这引发了一个矛盾。

Absolutely, employers often express dissatisfaction with the limited work experience of young individuals. "Bemoan" is a formal term for complaining about something.

雇主抱怨年轻人缺乏工作经验，这是一个相当普遍的现象。"抱怨"这个词非常普通，而"Bemoan"更正式一些。

However, on the flip side, adolescents are often discouraged from taking on part-time employment and are instead encouraged to focus on their studies. There is a belief held by some that working could have a negative impact on a student's academic development.

然而，另一方面，青少年面临很大压力，无法从事兼职工作，需要将精力专注于学业。一些人认为工作对学生的学习进步有害。

Detrimental means causing harm, and it's indeed a complex concept. I believe that my experience of spending Saturdays stacking shelves and serving fish and chips taught me valuable lessons about working with adults and managing my money. Therefore, I don't think it had a negative impact on my education.

“detrimental”一词表示对某事造成损害。这个问题真的很棘手，不是吗？我觉得我在周六整理货架、在炸鱼和薯条店打工给了我很重要的经验，学会了如何与成年人一起工作，以及如何管理自己的金钱。我不认为这会对我的学业造成影响。

Congratulations on securing a position at BBC Learning English! As for myself, I learned the value of hard work through my experience with a paper round. It certainly didn't hold me back. "Hold back" means to prevent someone or something from moving forward.

是的，你成功地加入了BBC英语学习，这是一件了不起的事。我也意识到努力工作的重要性，因为我曾经做过送报纸的工作。然而，这并不会成为我前进的障碍。阻碍意味着阻止某人或事物的进步，但我会克服这一点。

Let’s not discuss too much to avoid disrupting our students. Now, it's time to reveal the answer to our quiz question. I inquired about the minimum age at which children are permitted to work in the UK. Is it a) 12, b) 13, or c) 14?

我们不要让讨论影响到学生们。让我们回到今天问题的答案上。你在英国允许工作的最小年龄是多少？a) 12岁， b) 13岁， c) 14岁？

I said c) 14.

我说的是14岁。

I'm sorry, but that information is incorrect. In the UK, the legal working age is 13, with exceptions such as TV, theatre, and modelling.

在英国，实际上是允许13岁的孩子在一定条件下工作的。但需要注意的是，电视剧、戏剧和模特行业针对13岁以下的年龄会有相应的特殊规定。

I suppose I should have dedicated more time to my studies.

我觉得我本应该在学校多待一段时间的。

Would you like to review the vocabulary?

今天的单词我们可以再复习一遍吗？

Neil, did you have experience delivering newspapers when you were young?

在小时候，你有没有做过送报纸的工作？

No, I didn't, but I did assist my good friend James in delivering newspapers in exchange for a pound. It was considered a substantial amount of money back in the 80s!

在我的记忆中，我虽然没有赚过很多钱，但我曾经和我最好的朋友一起送报纸，还记得有一次我们得到了一英镑的小费。那可是相当可观的收入，尤其是在80年代。

Did you work a Saturday job to supplement your earnings?

你做兼职赚钱了吗？

Yes, I did. I worked at a supermarket on Saturdays and at a fish and chip shop, although it wasn't always on Saturdays. By the way, Dan, is that a wedding ring on your finger?

我之前有过在超市以及炸鱼和薯条店工作的经历。我不只是在周六工作。对了，丹，我注意到你戴着结婚戒指了？

Indeed, it is. Marriage is considered a significant milestone in many cultures. It marks an important stage in a person’s life. By the way, are those your children featured on your screensaver?

是的，婚姻在许多文化中都是一个重要的仪式，代表着人生的一个重要阶段。关于这个话题，我想问一下，你是否喜欢这个屏保？

Absolutely – having children is definitely a significant rite of passage. Just take a look at how exhausted I am!

是的，生孩子可以被看作是一种仪式。我可以理解这给您带来了很大的疲惫。

Don't complain about your lack of sleep! I'm sure they are wonderful people. "Bemoan" is a formal way of saying "complain about."

请不要抱怨你的睡眠时间不够。我相信你的孩子们都是很棒的。Bemoan是一个十分正式的词，意思是抱怨。

I believe it's acceptable to express my frustration about my lack of sleep – it can negatively impact my health.

我觉得抱怨睡眠不足是正常的，因为这会影响我的健康。

Detrimental means causing harm. As long as your tiredness doesn't interfere with your work on 6 Minute English.

detrimental是指对某事物造成伤害或损害。你要尽量不让疲惫影响你在六分钟英语上班的表现。

I’m dedicated to my work on 6 Minute English and I won’t let anything stand in the way of my progress.

我坚决不会允许任何事情干扰我在六分钟英语工作上的进展。

Your commitment is truly admirable! Farewell!

我钦佩你的决心！希望我们再见面！

Goodbye!

再见
