  哈佛校园生活情景对话:学习赚钱

  It’s time for lunch. Li Lei wants to treat Han Meimei to lunch.

  L: I’m hungry, let’s go to lunch, my treat.

  L:我饿了,去吃饭吧,我请客。

  H: No, let’s go Dutch, we're both students.

  H:不行,AA吧,都是学生。

  L: I earn some extra bucks after class.

  L:我课余时间赚了点外块。

  H: You’ve been here for only a few months, how could you find a job?

  H:你到这儿才不过几个月,怎么就找到了份工作呢?

  L: Not a job, but two jobs.

  L:不是一份儿,是两份儿。

  H: You’re really something.

  H:你真了不起。

  L: I’m not so good as you say. Over two thirds of all Harvard students choose to do part-time jobs.

  L:没你说得那么好,2/3的哈佛学生都做兼职呢。

  H: But you have two jobs all at once. Isn’t it tiring?

  H:但你一下就做两份儿,不累吗?

  L: I have to push myself to do as many jobs as possible. I don’t want to lay all the burdens on my parents.

  L:我必须迫使自己尽量多做些兼职,我不想把负担都压在父母身上。

  H: You‘d better take care of yourself, or your parents will be worried. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

  H:你最好照顾好自己,否则你父母才会担心呢。别对自己要求太严。

  L: I won’t. Although I want to do more jobs, I’m not allowed to do so. The university rules say that students may not work more than 20 hours per week while enrolled and 40 hours per week when classes are not in session.

  L:不会的。即使我想做更多兼职,但学校不允许 我这么做。学校规定学生每固工作不能超过20个小时,放假时每固不得超过40小时。

  H: I think the rule is reasonable. But where did you get the jobs? I want to do part-time jobs as well.

  H:这个规定是含理的。不过,你在哪儿找的工作?我也想做兼职。

  L: There is a Student Employment Jobs Database where students can find work information. I can find some information for you.

  L:学校里有个学生就业工作数据库,在那里可以 找到工作信息。我可以帮你找找。

  H: What types of jobs do you usually do?

  H:你们通常都做什么类型的工作?

  L: It depends on whether you choose to work on campus or off campus. I only work on research assistants for faculty members, design websites for offices, and assist in science labs.

  L:看你是选择在校园里工作还是在校外工作了。我只在校园里工作。

  H: What about those who work off campus?

  H:在校园里一般都做什么?

  L: Off-campus work is equally varied with students serving as babysitters, tutors, webmasters, database developers, and special assistants. The work can be carefully designed to fit the needs, interests and skills of a student.

  L:可能在办公室里帮忙、在图书馆整理书籍、在餐厅帮忙、给教职员工当助敎、为办公室设计网站、在实验室帮忙等。

  H: Where do those working off campus work?

  H:那在校园外呢?

  L: Some jobs are nearby Harvard, others may be a little far. But all the jobs are done with the Cambridge and Boston,

  L:校外的工作也同样有很多种,当保姆、做家教、管理网站、开发数据库、当特别 助理等。经过仔细设计后,每份工作都可以符含每个学生的需要、兴趣、特长。

  H: Are all the students paid by the university?

  H:校外的一般在哪儿工作?

  L: It’s complicated, you know, there are on-campus, off-campus, Federal Work Study Program or FWSP, and non-FWSP positions.

  L: 一些就在学校附近,另外一些可能有点远,但都在玫布里奋和波斯顿。

  H: What’s FWSP?

  H:是学校给学生发工资吗?

  L: It’s a federally funded program designed to create jobs for financially needy students to help them meet their educational expenses. But first you have to apply for financial aid. If you are offered financial aid, then you can have both FWSP jobs and non-FWSP jobs. If you fail, you can only have non-FWSP jobs.

  L:这有点复杂,你知道,工作岗位分为校园内的和校园外的,有在联邦工读计划内 的,有在计划外的。

  H: What do students usually do on campus?

  H:什么是联邦工读计划?

  L: They may help in an office, shelve books in the library, assist in the dining halls, serve as

  L:是联邦政府拨款的,为困难学生提供工作机会,帮助其支付教育费用的一项计划。 但首先你必须先申请资助。如果你得到了资助,你就可以做联邦工读计划内外的 所有工作;如果你没申请到,你就只能做计划外的工作了。

  H: It really is complicated,

  H:真的很复杂。

  L: The procedure is not simple neither. After I was selected to work, I was required to complete a referral form with the Student Employment Office. Then the Office sent an email to my supervisor to confirm that I was authorized to work. After that I began to work.

  L:申请过程也很不简单,我选好工作后,还得填一份申请表交给学生就业办公室。然后办公室给辅导员发邮件确认我可以工作之后,我才开始工作。

  H: What’s your hourly rate?

  H:你们的工资是一小时多少钱? .

  L: The current range for undergraduate students is ,5?12.5.

  L:目前本科生的是9.5到12.5美元。

  H: That’s a good few bucks.

  H:那也不少了。

  L: The point is I have to pay taxes. All earnings are subject to Federal, State, and Local taxes,

  L:关键是我还得交税呢。所有赚的钱都在联邦政府、州政府和当地政府的收税范围内。

  H: It’s your honor to do your duty as a taxpayer, Ha!

  H:作为纳税人履行纳税义务是你的荣幸,哈哈!

  L: It is my honor if you’d like to go for lunch with me.

  L:如果你愿意和我一起吃饭,那才是我的荣幸。

  H: I’d love to. It’s for free, why not?
