聽力原文及翻譯
Hello everyone, my name is Megan Baker and I'm a recruitment consultant at AVT Recruitment Specialists. Now, our company specializes in positions that involve working in the agriculture and horticulture sectors, so that's fresh food production, garden and park maintenance, and so on. And these sectors do provide some very special career opportunities.
大家好，我叫Megan Baker，是AVT招聘專家的招聘顧問。我們公司專門從事農(nóng)業(yè)和園藝領(lǐng)域的工作，即新鮮食品生產(chǎn)、花園和公園維護等。這些行業(yè)確實提供了一些非常特殊的職業(yè)機會。
For a start, they often offer opportunities for those who don't want to be stuck with a 40-hour week but need to juggle work with other responsibilities, such as childcare, and this is very important for many of our recruits. Some people like working in a rural setting, surrounded by plants and trees instead of buildings, although we can't guarantee that.
首先，它們通常為那些不想每周工作 40 小時但需要兼顧工作和其他責(zé)任（例如育兒）的人提供機會，這對我們許多新員工來說非常重要。有些人喜歡在鄉(xiāng)村環(huán)境中工作，周圍都是植物和樹木而不是建筑物，盡管我們不能保證這一點。
But there are certainly health benefits, especially in jobs where you're not sitting all day looking at a screen, a big plus for many people. Salaries can sometimes be good too, although there's a lot of variety here, and you may have the opportunity in some types of jobs for travel overseas, although that obviously depends on the job and not everyone is keen to do it.
但肯定有健康益處，特別是在你不必整天坐著看屏幕的工作中，這對很多人來說是一大優(yōu)勢。工資有時也不錯，盡管這里的工資種類繁多，而且你可能有機會在某些類型的工作中出國旅行，盡管這顯然取決于工作，并不是每個人都熱衷于這樣做。
Of course, working outdoors does have its challenges. It is fine in summer, but can be extremely unpleasant when it is cold and windy. You may need to be pretty fit for some jobs, though with modern technology, that is not as important as it once was. And standards of health and safety are much higher now than they used to be, so there are fewer work-related accidents.
當(dāng)然，戶外工作也有其挑戰(zhàn)。夏天還好，但天氣寒冷多風(fēng)時就非常不舒服了。有些工作可能需要身體健康，但隨著現(xiàn)代科技的發(fā)展，這一點已不像以前那么重要?，F(xiàn)在的健康和安全標(biāo)準(zhǔn)比以前高得多，因此工作事故也少了。
But if you like a lively city environment surrounded by lots of people, these jobs are probably not for you. They are often in pretty remote areas, and some people worry about finding a suitable place to live, but in our experience, this usually turns out fine.
但如果你喜歡熱鬧的城市環(huán)境，周圍有很多人，這些工作可能不適合你。它們通常位于相當(dāng)偏遠(yuǎn)的地區(qū)，有些人擔(dān)心找不到合適的住處，但根據(jù)我們的經(jīng)驗，通常情況都很好。
