第二部分 中英對(duì)照
好的。那么在活動(dòng)進(jìn)行期間,我還有什么要注意的事情嗎?
Right. Now is there anything I need to know about what happens during the event?
嗯,你可能也會(huì)注意到,在整棟建筑里任何地方都不能吸煙。
Well, as you'll be aware, of course the building is no smoking throughout.
沒問題。
Of course.
你們會(huì)請(qǐng)樂隊(duì)嗎?
Now, are you having a band?
是的。
Yes.
他們會(huì)有很多樂器和設(shè)備的,
Well, they'll have a lot of equipment,
所以,他們要把車停在后面,通過后臺(tái)的門進(jìn)來,而不是從前門進(jìn)來。
so rather than using the front door they should park their van round the back and use the stage door there.
你可以從里面把后臺(tái)的門打開,但是請(qǐng)別忘了結(jié)束之后把它鎖上。
You can open that from inside but don't forget to lock it at the end.
好的。
OK.
說到樂隊(duì),我相信不用講你也知道,
And talking of bands, I'm sure I don't need to tell you this,
但我還是要強(qiáng)調(diào)一下。你們必須確保沒人亂動(dòng)防火門旁邊的黑盒子,
but you must make sure that no one fiddles about with the black box by the fire door
那是個(gè)當(dāng)聲音太大的時(shí)候會(huì)自動(dòng)插入的系統(tǒng)。這是個(gè)法律要求,必須遵守。
that's a system that cuts in when the volume reaches a certain level. It's a legal requirement.
應(yīng)該的。反正我們也想讓大家可以互相聊聊天,所以不會(huì)弄得太吵的。
Sure. Anyway, we want people to be able to talk to one another so we don't want anything too loud.
這正好提醒了我,我們到時(shí)候會(huì)有演講,你們這兒有話筒嗎?
Oh, that reminds me, we'll be having speeches-are there any microphones available?
有的,你跟管理員說就好了,他會(huì)給你們的。
Yeah. Just let the caretaker know, he'll get those for you.
還有,我們要求活動(dòng)結(jié)束之后室內(nèi)保持整潔。
Right, now when the event is over we do ask that the premises are left in good condition.
所以,我們會(huì)告訴你打開鎖著的櫥柜需要的密碼。
So there's a locked cupboard and you'Il be informed of the code you need to open that.
柜子里有所有的清掃裝備——刷子、清潔劑等等。
It's got all the cleaning equipment, brushes and detergent and so on.
好的,大家都走了之后我們要做什么?
Right, so what do we need to do after everyone's gone?
掃地?
Sweep the floors I suppose?
事實(shí)上,你們不僅要掃地,還要把地拖干凈。
Well actually they have to be washed not just swept.
然后我們會(huì)給你們一些黑色塑料袋,
Then you'll be provided with black plastic bags,
你們必須把所有的垃圾都裝起來放到門外去。
so all the rubbish must be collected up and left outside the door.
當(dāng)然啦。我們會(huì)確保一切都干凈整潔的。
Of course. We'll make sure everything's left tidy.
對(duì)了,我剛才忘記問了。
Oh. and I forgot to ask.
我們可以在房間里做些裝飾吧?
I presume we can have decorations in the room?
可以,但是結(jié)束之后必須把它們弄下來。
Yes, but you must take them down afterwards.
沒問題。
Sure.
還有,你們要把桌椅整齊地?cái)[放在房間后面。
And the chairs and tables should be stacked up neatly at the back of the room.
我會(huì)叫幾個(gè)人來幫我的。
I'll make sure I've got a few people to help me.
