　　是的，一名销售。

　　Todd: What were you selling?

　　你销售的产品是什么?

　　Roe: I was selling nothing.

　　我什么都不卖。

　　Todd: Nothing

　　什么都不卖?

　　Roe: Nothing. Well, basically I was selling a membership. So, that's, it's not something people can see or visualize, but it's like just membership, so.

　　什么都不卖。实际上，我销售的是一种身份。它不是人们能够看到的实体产品，而是一种会员身份。

　　Todd: Was it like a membership to a country club?

　　就像乡村俱乐部的会员身份一样?

　　Roe: Yeah, actually a private resorts and golf clubs.

　　是的，实际上那是一家私人度假村和高尔夫俱乐部。

　　Todd: Nice. Was this in Japan or in the US?

　　真棒，那是在日本还是在美国?

　　在日本。

　　Todd: Wow. What was the best thing about your job?

　　哇。这份工作最好的地方在于?

　　Todd: Oh, wow, it was door to door.

　　哇，挨家挨户啊。

　　Roe: Exactly without any appointments and membership costs 5 million yen. Starting, starting costs.

　　是的，没有任何预约的敲门访问，而且会员费要500万日元。而这只是入会费。

　　500万日元的入会费，那你肯定要去很高档的社区了。

　　Roe: No, actually we just go to any areas. We just stop off at a station and we start from there.

　　不，实际上我们是什么社区都要去。随便一站下车后就开展工作了。

　　Todd: Really. Were you successful?

　　真的吗，那你的工作进展顺利吗?

　　Roe: It's a long story but to be honest with you, how many memberships do you think I sold in a year?

　　说来话长，但坦白讲，你认为我一年能够介绍多少会员入会?

　　每天都会被很多人拒绝，总是听到人说no，no，no。

　　Roe: I know, I mean if you think about it, that's natural though, I mean 5 million yen. and I can't really show the place, cause I can't take the person to the place. all I can do is show the picture and speak and that was right after the bubble economy bursted, so nobody had really, nobody had money, so.

　　我知道，我是说如果你仔细想想，这就是很自然的事，500万日元啊。而且我无法展示俱乐部场所，因为我不能带客户过去参观。我能做的只是展示图片并且介绍，而且那正是在产生经济泡沫之后，所以没有人真的想入会，也没有人有这个闲钱。

　　Todd: Wow, man so were you depressed? Were you sad?

　　哇，兄弟，那你沮丧吗?难过吗?

　　Roe: It was very interesting. It was hard to motivate myself. The people would call the police, and call me like a robber Yeah, yeah, cause I had to like open the gate and run to the door and stick my leg so that they won't shut the door.

　　很有趣。这份工作很难激励我的斗志。人们会报警称我是强盗，所以我只能打开院门，小跑到房门前用腿顶住门缝，以防他们关上屋门。

　　Todd: Seriously.

　　你是认真的?

　　Roe: Yeah, that's how you do it. Door to door sells.

　　是的，是你也会这么做。这就是挨家挨户的销售。

　　Todd: Wow, that's, that's a tough job. I don't think I could do a job, what's your job now? What do you do now?

　　哇，真是一项艰苦的工作。我不认为我能胜任这份工作，你现在在做什么?从事什么职业?

　　Roe: I am, I work for Yokohama city and I am in a place called Yokohama Convention Bureau. It's a city job.

　　我在横滨市横滨会议局工作。这是一份市政工作。

　　Todd: OK, so the Yokohama Convention Bureau. OK, so you deal with foreigners, naturally cause it's in English.

　　好的，横滨会议局。那么你主要和外国人打交道，自然是说英语了。

　　Roe: And travellers and visitors and what have you.

　　还有旅客和游客

　　Todd: Do you like your job now?

　　你热爱你现在的工作吗?

　　Roe: Interesting! Like I said I meet talk to about over 2,000 people a day, so it's kind of tiring though.

　　很有趣!如我所说的，我每天能和2000多人打交道，因此也是一份很辛苦的工作。

　　Todd: Wow, 2,000 people a day.

　　哇，一天接触2000多人。

　　Roe: About 200 people an hour. My office is at the station. Yokohama station. Right out of the gate of the JR, so people are going to stop by.

　　大概一小时有200人。我的办公室就在横滨站。就在日本铁路公司对面，所以经常有人顺便去看看我。

　　Todd: You, that's a lot of talking. You must be tired of talking.

　　我们谈了很多，你一定很累了吧。
