聽力原文及翻譯
Good afternoon. My name's Mrs. Carter, and I run the before and after-school extended-hours childcare service. I hope you've had a chance to have a good look around the school and talk to staff and pupils.
下午好。我是卡特老師，我負(fù)責(zé)課前和課后延長時間的托兒服務(wù)。我希望您有機(jī)會好好參觀一下學(xué)校，并與教職員工和學(xué)生交談。
I know that many of you are interested in using our childcare service when your child joins the school, and perhaps you already know something about it, but for those that don't, I'll go through the main details now.
我知道你們中的許多人都對孩子入學(xué)后使用我們的托兒服務(wù)感興趣，也許您已經(jīng)對此有所了解，但對于那些不了解的人，我現(xiàn)在將介紹主要細(xì)節(jié)。
We offer childcare for children from the ages of 4 to 11, both before and after school. I know that many parents who work find this service invaluable. You can leave your child with us, safe in the knowledge that they will be extremely well cared for.
我們?yōu)?4 至 11 歲的兒童提供課前和課后托兒服務(wù)。我知道許多在職父母認(rèn)為這項服務(wù)非常寶貴。您可以將孩子交給我們，放心，我們會非常細(xì)心地照顧他們。
We are insured to provide care for up to 70 children, although we rarely have this many attending at any one session. I think we generally expect around 50 to 60 children for the afternoon sessions and about half that number for the breakfast sessions. Although we currently do have 70 children registered with us, not all of these attend every day.
我們保證最多可照顧 70 名兒童，盡管我們很少在任何一個課程中看到這么多兒童。我認(rèn)為我們通常預(yù)計下午課程大約有 50 到 60 名兒童，早餐課程大約有這個數(shù)字的一半。雖然目前有 70 名兒童在我們這里注冊，但并不是所有兒童每天都來上課。
It's 10 years since we began offering an extended hours service, and we've come a long way during that time. When we first opened, we only had about 20 children attending regularly. We try to keep our costs as low as we can, and we think we provide very good value for money.
我們開始提供延長時間服務(wù)已有 10 年了，在此期間我們?nèi)〉昧碎L足的進(jìn)步。我們剛開業(yè)時，只有大約 20 名兒童定期上課。我們盡量將成本保持在盡可能低的水平，我們認(rèn)為我們提供的服務(wù)非常物有所值。
For the afternoon sessions, which run from 3:30 until 6 PM, it's ￡7.20, but if you prefer, you can pay for one hour only, which costs ￡3.50, or two hours, which costs ￡5.70. The cost of the childcare includes food and snacks.
下午的課程從下午 3:30 到下午 6 點，費用為 7.20 英鎊，但如果您愿意，您可以只支付一小時的費用，費用為 3.50 英鎊，或兩小時的費用為 5.70 英鎊。托兒費用包括食品和零食。
They'll be given breakfast in the morning and, in the afternoon, a healthy snack as soon as they finish school at 5 PM. Children are given something more substantial, such as pasta or casserole. Please inform us of any allergies that your child might have, and we'll make sure they're offered a suitable alternative.
早上他們會得到早餐，下午 5 點放學(xué)后，我們會給他們一份健康的零食。孩子們會得到更豐盛的食物，比如意大利面或砂鍋菜。請告知我們您的孩子可能有的任何過敏癥，我們會確保為他們提供合適的替代品。
As you may know, the childcare service runs through the school holidays, from 8 am to 6 pm. We offer a really varied and exciting program to keep the children entertained. We don't want them to feel as if they are still at school; it will also feel different because they'll get the chance to make new friends with children from other schools.
您可能知道，托兒服務(wù)在學(xué)校假期期間開放，時間為上午 8 點至下午 6 點。我們提供豐富多彩且令人興奮的節(jié)目，讓孩子們樂在其中。我們不想讓他們感覺好像還在上學(xué)；他們也會感覺不同，因為他們有機(jī)會與其他學(xué)校的孩子結(jié)交新朋友。
Spaces are available for them because a lot of our full-time children don't always attend during the holidays. In the past, parents have asked if children over the age of 11 are allowed to come with their younger brothers and sisters, but I'm afraid we're unable to do this because of the type of insurance we have.
我們?yōu)樗麄兲峁┛瘴?，因為我們的很多全日制兒童在假期期間并不總是來。過去，家長們曾詢問過 11 歲以上的孩子是否可以和弟弟妹妹一起來，但恐怕由于我們的保險類型，我們無法這樣做。
