Radio times 播音时光 “How old are you?” The radio manager looked down at me. “你多大了？”播音主任低头看着我问到。 “Fifteen,” I said. “15岁”，我回答到。 “And you want a job in radio? Shouldn’t you be at school?” he asked. “你想找份播音方面的工作？难道你不用上学吗？”他问到。 How could I explain? 我怎么解释呢？ I have always loved the radio. 我一直喜欢播音。 I still remember, when I was four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes and to the voices of my favourite presenters. 我仍然记得在我4岁的时候，我紧挨着客厅的收音机坐着，听我最喜欢的节目和喜欢的主持人的声音。 It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but to me in person. 感觉他们不是在和广大听众说话，而是在亲自和我说话。 At the age of nine, I asked for part-time jobs in small radio stations. 9岁的时候，我去过小电台找兼职工作。 As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. 随着年龄的增长，我对广播的兴趣与日俱增。 One day I learnt about Internet radio. 有一天我听说了网络电台。 Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father’s computer, talked about life at school, and hoped someone might be listening. 我每周一次用爸爸的电脑播放我最喜欢的音乐，谈论学校的生活，并且希望有人在听我的节目。 Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. 很快我学校里的朋友开始收听这个节目，而且他们也想帮忙。 We prepared a programme once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window). 我们每周准备一期节目，内容包括音乐文献的研究，体育新闻，笑话和天气预报（根据观察窗外的情况得到） “OK, come with me,” the manager said. “好吧，跟我来，”主任说。 I sat down in the studio. 我坐在演播室里。 He was in another room, behind a glass wall. 他坐在玻璃墙后的另一个屋子里。 “OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.” “好，我们来做一个音质测试。只需告诉我你早餐吃了什么。” All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. 所有的播音员在工作之前都要回答同样的问题。 The purpose is to check the sound level. 目的是检查音质水平。 “I had eggs, fruit and some milk.” “我吃了鸡蛋，水果，喝了牛奶。” “OK, that’s great!” the man behind the glass said. “好，太棒了”，玻璃后边的人说到。 This was how my first real job in radio began. 这就是我真正开始从事播音工作的故事。 I hope that you can join us one day. 我希望有一天你可以加入我们。 Chen Huan: Hi, everybody.
