What I will be hosting, to be exact, is a series of retreats to be held at the Ashram this spring. During each retreat, about a hundred devotees will come here from all over the world for a period of a week to ten days, to deepen their meditation practices. My role is to take care of these people during their stay here. For most of the retreat, the participants will be in silence. For some of them, it will be the first time they've experienced silence as a devotional practice, and it can be intense. However, I will be the one person in the Ashram they are allowed to talk to if something is going wrong.
正确地说，我要在今年春季将在道场举办的一连串静修活动中，担任招待的工作。每次静修期间，约有一百名来自全球各地的善男信女前来进行为期七至十天的禅修。我的任务是在他们停留期间照料其需要。静修期间，参与者静默不语。对某些人而言，这是他们头一次体验静默的禅修，可能是一种极端的体验。不过，若有任何差错，我就是他们在道场当中的说话对象。

That's right—my job officially requires me to be the speech-magnet.
没错，我的职位要求我做一个以说话取胜的人。

I will listen to the problems of the retreat participants and then try to find solutions for them. Maybe they'll need to change roommates because of a snoring situation, or maybe they'll need to speak to the doctor because of India-related digestive trouble—I'll try to solve it. I'll need to know everybody's name, and where they are from. I'll be walking around with a clipboard, taking notes and following up. I'm Julie McCoy, your Yogic cruise director.
我必须聆听静修学员的种种问题，然后为他们想办法解决。他们可能因为打鼾状况而必须更换室友，或因为与印度相关的消化疾病需要找医师咨询——我得去解决。我必须记住每个人的名字，知道他们是哪里人。我必须拿着写字板走来走去，做笔记，进行后续工作。我是你的瑜伽领队。

And, yes, the position does come with a beeper.
没错，负责这个职位，将会配给你呼叫器。
