剑14精讲学术类Test 1 听力解析 Section 2
文本及疑难解析
1. I’d like to start with some general advice about being an apprentice. Most of you have very little or no experience of working for a big organisation and the first week or so may be quite challenging. 我先来讲一讲如何当好一个学徒。你们中的大多数人完全或者几乎没有在一家大机构工作的经验。第一周(的工作)会非常有挑战性。the first week or so 指“第一周左右”，so 在这里不是“因此，所以”的意思。
2. The important thing is to check with someone if you’re not sure what to do - you’ll find your supervisor is very approachable and won’t mind explaining things or helping you out. You’re here to learn so make the most of that opportunity. 一件非常重要的事情是如果你不确定要做什么，一定要找人确认，你会发现你的上级非常容易找到(容易接触)，而且他很乐意帮助你解释或解决问题。你是来学习的，所以利用好这个机会。make the most/best of 指“利用”。
3. As well as having a supervisor, you’ll each be assigned a mentor. This person will be someone who’s recently completed an apprentice and you’ll meet with them on a weekly basis. Their role is to provide help and support throughout your apprenticeship. 除了上级主管，你还会被分配一名导师。这个人会是一个刚刚完成学徒期的人，你每周都会和他见面。他的职责是在你的学徒期全程为你提供帮助。
4. Now I just want to run through a few company policies for our apprenticeship scheme with you... Most importantly, the internet. As part of your job you’ll be doing some research online so obviously you’ll have unlimited access for that but please don’t use it for personal use - you’ll have your own phones for that. 我想和大家过一下与学徒计划相关的公司政策。最重要的是网络。上网调研是你工作的一部分，所以显然使用网络连接不受任何限制。但请不要用网络来做私事，你的手机可以用来做私事。run through 可理解为“梳理”，此处译为“过一下”更符合口语表达习惯。
5. After your probationary three month period - some of you will be eligible for this - but it will depend on which department you’re in and what your personal circumstances are. So please don’t assume you’ll automatically be permitted to do this. 过了三个月试用期之后，你们中的一部分人会有这个资格，但这完全取决于你在哪个部门以及你的个人情况，所以请不要以为你会自然而然地被获准。
6. I want to make sure there’s no confusion about our holiday policy. Apart from any statutory public holidays we ask that you don’t book any holidays until after your six month apprenticeship has finished.
我想确认大家清楚了解了我们的休假政策。除了法定假日，我们要求大家在六个月的学徒期结束前不要预定任何假期。
7. You’ll be expected to work a 40 hour week but there may be opportunities to do overtime during busy periods. Although you’re not required to do this, it can be a valuable experience - so we advise you to take it up if possible. Obviously, we understand that people do have commitments outside work, so don’t worry if there are times when you are unavailable. 你们每周要工作 40 小时，在忙季还会加班。尽管你不会被强制这么做，但这是非常有价值的经历，我们建议有机会一定抓住。显然，我们理解大家在工作之外还有其他的事，所以大家不用担心有时做不到(加班)。if there are times when you are unavailable 中的 when 引导从句，修饰 times(times 指某些时刻)。
8. There’s a heavily subsidised canteen on site where you can get hot meals and salads cheaply. 餐厅补助非常高，无论热食还是沙拉都很便宜。注意搭配，用 heavily 修饰 subsidise，表示补助很高。
