2019.12六級第一套  Conversation One

Today our guest is Rosie Melinda who works as a features editor for Fashion magazine.

今天我們的嘉賓是《時尚》雜志的專欄編輯Rosie Melinda。

Hi Rosie, you're a features editor at one of the most widely read women's magazines in the U.K What kind of responsibilities does that job entail?

嗨，Rosie,你是英國最受歡迎的女性雜志之一的專欄編輯。這份工作需要承擔(dān)什么樣的責(zé)任呢？

We spend our days looking at ideas from journalists, writing copy for the magazine and website and editing.

我們整天都在瀏覽記者的想法，為雜志和網(wǎng)站撰寫稿件并進(jìn)行編輯。

we do random things like asking people in the street questions and testing sports clothing.

我們會隨機(jī)做一些事情，例如在街上向人們提問采訪，測試運(yùn)動服。

We also do less tangible things like understanding what our readers want. It's certainly varied and sometimes bizarre.

我們還會去做一些沒那么具象的事情，例如了解讀者的需求?；顑嚎隙ㄊ嵌喾N多樣的，有時也是稀奇古怪的。

During your working day, what kind of work might you typically do? My day mainly incorporates responding to emails, writing and editing stories and coming up with new feature ideas.

在你的工作期間，通常會從事哪種工作？我每天的工作內(nèi)容主要包括回復(fù)電子郵件，撰寫和編輯故事以及提出新的專欄構(gòu)想。

How does the job of a features editor differ from that of fashion editor or other editorial positions?

The feature's team deals with articles such as careers, reports, confidence, and confessions. Everything except to fashion and beauty.

專欄編輯的工作與時裝編輯或其他編輯職位有何不同？

專欄編輯小組會和諸如職業(yè)、報告、自信心和自白之類的文章打交道?；旧铣藭r尚和美麗，其他內(nèi)容我們都會涉及。

A lot of people believe that working at a magazine is a glamorous job. Is this an accurate representation of what you do?

很多人認(rèn)為在雜志社工作是一件光鮮有魅力的事兒。你覺得這足以準(zhǔn)確描述你所做的工作嗎？

I'd say it's glamorous to an extent, but not in the way it's portrayed in films. We do have our moments such as interviewing celebrities and attending parties which is a huge thrill.

我會說它在某種程度上是迷人的，但不是電影中所描繪的那樣。我們確實有一些機(jī)會，例如采訪名人和參加聚會，確實會激動。

Ultimately though, we're the same as our readers. But working in a job we're all very lucky to have.

但最終，我們和讀者是沒有區(qū)別的。但是在工作中，我們都很幸運(yùn)。

Did you have to overcome any difficulties to reach this point in your career? How did you manage to do this？

為了達(dá)到這一職業(yè)目標(biāo)，你需要克服很多困難嗎？你是如何做到的？

I had to be really persistent and it was very hard work. After three years of working in a petrol station and doing unpaid work, I still hadn't managed to get an entry-level job.

我必須堅持下去，這份工作很艱苦。在加油站做了三年的無薪工作之后，我仍然沒有找到入門的工作。

I was lucky that my last desperate attempt led to a job. I told myself that all experiences make you a better journalist in the long run and luckily, I was right.

我很幸運(yùn)，在最后的絕望嘗試中找到了這份工作。我告訴自己，從長遠(yuǎn)來看，所有經(jīng)歷都會使你成為一名更好的新聞工作者，幸運(yùn)的是，我是對的。
