Good morning everyone. My name's Joy Perkins and I'm the restaurant manager.
大家早上好，我的名字是Joy Perkins，我是餐馆经理。
And I understand that none of you've had any previous experience as kitchen assistants.
我明白你们中没有人此前有过做厨房助理的经验。
Well, you might be feeling a bit nervous now, but most of our kitchen assistants say they enjoy the work.
也许你们现在感觉有点紧张，但我们这大多数的厨房助理都说他们很享受这个工作。
OK, they might get shouted at sometimes, but it's nothing personal,
没错，也许他们有时候会被吼，但那并非是针对个人的，
and they're pleased that they have so many different things to do, which means they never get bored.
而且他们也为自己有这么多不同的事情做而高兴，那意味着他们绝不会无聊。
And I'll tell you straightaway that if you do well, we might think about moving you up and giving you some more responsibility.
而且我可以直接告诉你们，如果你做得好，我们可以考虑给你升职，让你承担更多的责任。
Right, well, you've all shown up on time, which is an excellent start.
嗯，你们都准时到了，这是一个很好的开始。
Now I'm glad to see none of you have unsuitable footwear,
我很高兴看到没有人穿着不合适的鞋子，
so that's good - you need to be careful as the floors can get very wet and slippery.
这很好 - 你们得小心，因为地板可能会变得非常湿滑。
Those of you with long hair have got it well out of the way,
你们中有长发的都没有让头发碍事，
but some of you will need to remove your rings and bracelets
但有些人需要摘下戒指和手镯，
just put them somewhere safe for today, and remember to leave them at home tomorrow, as they can be a safety hazard.
今天就把它们放在一个安全的地方，明天要记得把它们放家里，因为它们可能成为安全隐患。
Now it's going to be a busy day for you all today - we don't have any tables free for this evening, and only a few for lunch.
对你们来说，今天将是繁忙的一天 - 今晚都没有空闲的桌子了，中午也只剩下不多。
Fortunately we've got our head chef back - he was away on holiday all last week which meant the other chefs had extra work.
幸运的是，我们的厨师长回来了 - 他上周都在休假，这也意味着别的主厨得做额外的工作。
Now, I'll tell you a bit more about the job in a minute but first, some general regulations.
接下来一分钟，我会告诉你们多一些关于工作的事，但首先得说说一些基本章程。
For all of you, whatever your age, there's some equipment you mustn't use until you've been properly trained,
你们所有人，无论年龄多大，有些器具只能在你们接受了适当训练之后才能使用，
like the waste disposal system for example, for health and safety reasons.
比如废物处理系统，这是出于因为卫生和安全原因。
Then I think there are two of you here are under 18 - that's Emma and Jake, isn't it?
我知道你们之中有两位还不满18岁，是Emma和Jake对吧？
Right, so for you two, the meat slicer is out of bounds.
对你们两个而言，切肉机是在可使用范围之外的。
And of course none of you are allowed to use the electric mixer until you've been shown how it works.
当然，也只有在你们了解了电动搅拌机怎么工作之后才能被允许使用它。
Now you may have heard that this can be a stressful job, and I have to say that can be true.
你们也许听说过这会是个很有压力的工作，我不得不说这可能是真的。
You'll be working an eight-hour day for the first week,
第一周，你们每天工作8小时，
though you'll have the chance to do overtime after that as well if you want to.
不过如果你想的话，你也有机会在一周后加班。
But however long the hours are, you'll get a break in the middle.
不过无论工作时间多长，你都可以在中间休息一下。
What you will find is that you're on your feet all day long, lifting and carrying, so if you're not fit now you soon will be!
你们将会发现自己一整天都是站着，搬搬抬抬，所以如果你现在还不够强健，那你很快就会的。
You'll find you don't have much chance to take it easy
你们会发现自己没多少机会放松
when someone tell you to do something you need to do it straightaway
当有人叫你做事时，你得立即去做
but at least we do have a very efficient air conditioning system compared with some kitchens.
但跟别的厨房相比，我们至少有着非常高效的空调系统。
