During an Arizona summer air conditioner repairmen are in high demand. Maricopa County health officials say that most heat-related deaths are due to people with non-functioning air conditioners. As temperatures reached 120 degrees, the Associated Press spent a Monday with repairman Alan Schwandt to see what a day in his life is like.
亚利桑那州的夏天对空调修理师的需求大大增加。马里科帕县的卫生官员说多数与高温相关的死亡都是因为空调无法正常工作。气温升到了120华氏度，美联社的记者周一与修理师艾伦·史万德共度一天，看看他的生活是什么样的。
Schwandt knew his day was bound to be busy and as he toiled away in the heat driving across the county from one repair job to the next, he said, "It's always hot but you have a job and have to do your job no matter what it is."
史万德知道他一定会很忙，当他在炎热的天气中开车四处奔波忙着修理时，他说“天气一直很热，可那是你的工作，无论它怎么样你都得尽责。”
