2019.12六级第一套  Conversation One

Today our guest is Rosie Melinda who works as a features editor for Fashion magazine.

今天我们的嘉宾是《时尚》杂志的专栏编辑Rosie Melinda。

Hi Rosie, you're a features editor at one of the most widely read women's magazines in the U.K What kind of responsibilities does that job entail?

嗨，Rosie,你是英国最受欢迎的女性杂志之一的专栏编辑。这份工作需要承担什么样的责任呢？

We spend our days looking at ideas from journalists, writing copy for the magazine and website and editing.

我们整天都在浏览记者的想法，为杂志和网站撰写稿件并进行编辑。

we do random things like asking people in the street questions and testing sports clothing.

我们会随机做一些事情，例如在街上向人们提问采访，测试运动服。

We also do less tangible things like understanding what our readers want. It's certainly varied and sometimes bizarre.

我们还会去做一些没那么具象的事情，例如了解读者的需求。活儿肯定是多种多样的，有时也是稀奇古怪的。

During your working day, what kind of work might you typically do? My day mainly incorporates responding to emails, writing and editing stories and coming up with new feature ideas.

在你的工作期间，通常会从事哪种工作？我每天的工作内容主要包括回复电子邮件，撰写和编辑故事以及提出新的专栏构想。

How does the job of a features editor differ from that of fashion editor or other editorial positions?

The feature's team deals with articles such as careers, reports, confidence, and confessions. Everything except to fashion and beauty.

专栏编辑的工作与时装编辑或其他编辑职位有何不同？

专栏编辑小组会和诸如职业、报告、自信心和自白之类的文章打交道。基本上除了时尚和美丽，其他内容我们都会涉及。

A lot of people believe that working at a magazine is a glamorous job. Is this an accurate representation of what you do?

很多人认为在杂志社工作是一件光鲜有魅力的事儿。你觉得这足以准确描述你所做的工作吗？

I'd say it's glamorous to an extent, but not in the way it's portrayed in films. We do have our moments such as interviewing celebrities and attending parties which is a huge thrill.

我会说它在某种程度上是迷人的，但不是电影中所描绘的那样。我们确实有一些机会，例如采访名人和参加聚会，确实会激动。

Ultimately though, we're the same as our readers. But working in a job we're all very lucky to have.

但最终，我们和读者是没有区别的。但是在工作中，我们都很幸运。

Did you have to overcome any difficulties to reach this point in your career? How did you manage to do this？

为了达到这一职业目标，你需要克服很多困难吗？你是如何做到的？

I had to be really persistent and it was very hard work. After three years of working in a petrol station and doing unpaid work, I still hadn't managed to get an entry-level job.

我必须坚持下去，这份工作很艰苦。在加油站做了三年的无薪工作之后，我仍然没有找到入门的工作。

I was lucky that my last desperate attempt led to a job. I told myself that all experiences make you a better journalist in the long run and luckily, I was right.

我很幸运，在最后的绝望尝试中找到了这份工作。我告诉自己，从长远来看，所有经历都会使你成为一名更好的新闻工作者，幸运的是，我是对的。
