BBC英语听力是值得英语学习者去练习的.英语听力。下面为大家提供一些谈论职业的BBC英语听力。
谈论职业的BBC英语听力一Neil: Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English–the programme where we bring you an interesting topic and six items of vocabulary. I’m Neil. Today we’ re talking about jobs.
Dan: And I’m Dan. And specifically, we’re looking at the trend for having more than one job…
Neil: Yes. On that note–Dan, were you ever asked this question as a kid? “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Do you remember your answer?
Dan: I wanted to be a ninja turtle. And you?
Neil: That doesn’t surprise me. I think I wanted to be a professional footballer. I wanted to play for England. Well, for many people, that question gets harder the older they become! It’s one reason why more and more people have what we call portfolio careers these days–so they can do a bit of everything.
Dan: A portfolio, as a noun, means 'a case for carrying large pictures–or it can mean the collection of pictures themselves. But we also use it as an adjective to describe groups of certain things–in this case, careers.
Neil: Indeed, we could say someone who is a part-time teacher and a part-time musician has aportfolio career.
Dan: Sounds like a good combination. First, let’s do today’s question–it’s job-related. Many surnames in English originally come from professions. The surname Baker, for example, was originally given to people who worked as… bakers! What about the surname Bond, as in double-oh-seven, James Bond? Who had this surname? Was it?
a)Farmers
b)Spies
c)Guards
Neil: It can’ t be spies, can it? So I’ m going to guess guards. C.
Dan: Great, well let’ s find out at the end of the programme.
Neil: Now, the portfolio career. Emily Wapnick is the Canadian author of a book called How to Be Everything: A Guide for Those Who (Still) Don’ t Know What They Want to Be When They Grow Up.
Dan: Which specific example of a portfolio career does she mention?
谈论职业的BBC英语听力二More and more people are doing multiple things and multiple jobs - and it’s not just to make ends meet. A lot of people are choosing this kind of lifestyle. They’ve got, you know, three different businesses that are just thriving. Or they’re a serial entrepreneur. Or they’ve got a career in two different areas. There’s a guy that I mention who is a psychotherapist and a luthier–he makes violins - and he’s very successful in both.
Neil: Emily is clearly a fan of this kind of working. She says she knows a man who’s both a psychotherapist and a luthier–someone who makes violins.
Dan: She says this trend is more than just about working to make ends meet–in other words, working to make enough money to live. And she used another interesting expression–a serial entrepreneur–what’s that exactly?
Neil: Well, an entrepreneur is someone who starts and runs businesses–and the use of serial here as an adjective describes someone who does the same thing again and again. Though we should say, the adjective is more often used for criminal activity–such as a serial killer or serial murderer.
