Conversation One
M: Morning, Penny, I know you are one of a few women taxi drivers in the city now, (4) and you've been driving for a living for 12 years. Could you tell us what you found the most difficult about becoming a taxi driver?
W: I can still remember when I was first learning to drive, (1) I didn't know how to judge distance. That's very scary.
M: Then, what's the best part of your job?
W: (2) What I like best about the job was being outdoors, seeing how this city changes from season to season. And there are places of scenery I would probably have never seen in another job.
M: Now, what about annual leaves? Do you have them?
W: Oh, yes. When I first started, I had only 10 days. Now I have 3 weeks every year with pay.
M: Just out of curiosity. When you go on vacation to another place or city, do you drive there as well?
W: (3) In most cases, not. I prefer to be driven by others if I go by car. I would also prefer to go by train or plane, if there is a choice.
M: Now my last question. Have you ever thought of changing your job?
W: Not yet. Maybe I will someday, but not at this moment. I do get lots of satisfaction out of it. So why should I?
M: OK. Our interview is coming to the end. Thank you very much for your time, Penny.
W: Pleasure.

对话一
男：早上好，佩妮，我知道你是这个城市少有的女出租车司机之一，而且你已经以开出租车为生有12年了。你能告诉我们当出租车司机最困难的是什么吗？
女：我还记得刚开始学开车的时候，我不知道如何判断距离。那真是挺吓人的。
男：那么，你的工作中最好的一点是什么呢？
女：我最喜欢我的工作的一点就是我能在户外，看着这座城市一年四季的变化。有些地方的风景可能是我在其他工作中绝对看不到的。
男：那么，年度假呢？你有吗？
女：哦，有。我刚开始做的时候，只有十天假期。现在我每年可以带薪休假三周。
男：只是好奇。你去其他地方或城市度假的时候，也是自己开车去吗？
女：多数情况下都不。如果坐车的话，我更喜欢别人开车。如果可以选择，我更喜欢坐火车或飞机。
男：现在最后一个问题。你有想过换工作吗？
女：还没有。或许以后会，但是现在没有。我对现在的工作很满意。所以为什么要换呢？
男：好。我们的采访结束了。谢谢你的时间，佩妮。
女：不客气。
