Interviewer: Well, today on Starting Out, we look at the sandwich industry in Britain.

采访者:好的,今天的Starting Out节目,我们来看看英国的三明治行业。

I have with me Brian Fraser, the owner of ‘Designer Sandwiches’, and Geraldine Holmes, another successful sandwich shop owner from Brighton.

我们邀请到了“设计师三明治”的老板布赖恩·弗雷泽,还有一位来自布莱顿的成功的三明治店老板杰拉尔丁·福尔摩斯。

Brian did you have any problems developing your business?

布赖恩,你在发展业务方面遇到了什么问题吗?

Brian Fraser: Not at the start. I set up my first sandwich shop in Leeds in 1994. That went well.

布莱恩·弗雷泽:一开始没问题。1994年我在利兹开了第一家三明治店,进展很顺利。

Unfortunately, though, just before the opening of my second shop, there was a fire in the empty building.

但不幸的是,就在我的第二家店开张之前,空楼里发生了火灾。

So I had to start again and find new premises for it.

所以我必须重新开始,寻找新的场所。

It’s doing as well as the first one now, though.

不过,现在的情况和第一次一样好。

Interviewer: Why do you think you have been so successful?

采访者:你认为为什么自己如此成功?

Brian Fraser: There’s a high demand for sandwiches made from fresh ingredients, especially when they're served in a relaxed and friendly place.

布莱恩·弗雷泽:人们对用新鲜原料制作的三明治的需求很高,尤其是在一个轻松友好的地方享受服务。

Although people have a bit less time nowadays, they’re still happy to pay more for something really good.

尽管现在人们的时间有点少,但他们仍然乐于为真正的好东西花费更多。

Interviewer: Of course some people take your sandwiches straight back to their desks. Is that a growing trend?

采访者:当然,有些人会把你们的三明治直接带回到办公桌。这是一种增长趋势吗?

Brian Fraser: Quite the opposite! It used to be true, but now, because many offices ban smoking completely, we find a lot of people stay at our tables and chat over a cigarette after their sandwich.

布莱恩·弗雷泽:完全相反!以前确实如此,但现在,由于许多办公室完全禁止吸烟,我们发现很多人吃完三明治后留在我们的餐桌旁,一边抽烟一边聊天。

No one wants to stand outside smoking, especially in winter, and because we’ re near their offices, people often come in twice a day.

没有人愿意站在外面抽烟,尤其是在冬天,因为我们离他们的办公室很近,他们经常会一天来两次。

Interviewer: So how long is the average lunch break nowadays?

采访者:那么现在的平均午休时间是多久?

Brian Fraser: It’ s nowhere near an hour, of course.

布莱恩·弗雷泽:当然还不到一个小时。

I’m told it’s slightly more than 30 minutes, I can’t remember the exact figure, but well under forty minutes.

我听说略多于30分钟,我记不清确切的数字了,但还不到40分钟。
