Chapter 1 Looking for a Job "I have to find a job," Katie told her mom. "There's no hurry," her mom said. "You have years to think about it."

第一章 找工作 “我得找份工作。”凯蒂对妈妈说。 “不急呀。”妈妈说。 “你还有好多时间慢慢想呢。”

"I don't," sighed Katie. "I need a job by Friday. We are having Career Day at school. I need to talk about the job I want when I grow up." Katie asked the bus driver, "Do you like driving a bus?" "Yes!" the driver said. "I might like it, too," said Katie. "Can I try driving?" "I don't think so," the driver said. "You're too young."

“我可没有。”凯蒂叹了口气。 “我周五之前就得找到工作。 学校要办职业日啦。 我得讲讲我长大之后想做什么工作。” 凯蒂问公交车司机：“您喜欢开公交车吗？” “当然啦！” 司机回答。 “说不定我也喜欢开公交。”凯蒂说。 “我能试试开车吗？” “这可不行哦。”司机说。 “你还太小啦。”

Pedro's dad worked at a bank. "I like money," said Katie. "But I don't want to add and subtract all day." Pedro's mom said, "Taking care of a new baby is a big job." "That's for sure," Katie agreed. "I'm not ready to be a mom!"

佩德罗的爸爸在银行工作。 “我喜欢钱。”凯蒂说。 “可我不想一整天都算加减法呀。” 佩德罗的妈妈说：“照顾小宝宝可是份很重要的工作。” “那当然啦。”凯蒂点头同意。 “我还没准备好当妈妈呢！”

"I like being a chef," said Katie's mom. "I like to eat," Katie said. "But I don't want to cook all day." Chapter 2 Helping Friends "I love the sea and whales," said JoJo. "My job will be teaching people about them. But how can I do a great Career Day talk on whales?"

“我喜欢当厨师。”凯蒂的妈妈说。 “我喜欢吃东西。”凯蒂说。 “可我不想一整天都做饭呀。” 第二章 帮助朋友 “我喜欢大海和鲸鱼。”乔乔说。 “我的理想工作就是给大家科普鲸鱼的知识。 可我怎么才能在职业日把鲸鱼的主题讲得特别棒呢？”

"I know how!" said Katie. "We will make a giant whale, and you can play a CD of their songs. My dad has one at home." "That's terrific!" said JoJo. "I'm going to be a geologist," said Pedro. "I'm bringing lots of rocks for my talk." Katie shook her head. "Pedro, you need more than a pile of rocks."

“我知道怎么办啦！”凯蒂说。 “我们可以做一头超大的鲸鱼模型，你还可以播放鲸鱼叫声的CD。 我爸爸家里就有一张。” “太棒啦！”乔乔说。 “我长大要当地质学家。”佩德罗说。 “我要带好多岩石去做演讲。” 凯蒂摇了摇头。 “佩德罗，光有一堆石头可不够哦。”
