听力原文及翻译

Good morning everyone, and welcome to Stevensons, one of the country's major manufacturers of metal goods. Thank you for choosing us for your two weeks of work experience. My name is Julius Simmons, and since the beginning of this year, I've been the Managing Director.

大家早上好，欢迎来到史蒂文森公司，这是该国主要的金属制品制造商之一。感谢您选择我们，体验两周的工作。我叫朱利叶斯·西蒙斯，从今年年初开始，我就担任董事总经理。

Stevensonsey is quite an old company. Like me, the founder, Ronald Stevenson, went into the steel industry when he left school, that was in 1923. He set up this company when he finished his apprenticeship in 1926, although he actually started making plans two years earlier, in 1924. He was a very determined young man. 

史蒂文森公司是一家相当古老的公司。和我一样，创始人罗纳德·史蒂文森在 1923 年离开学校后进入了钢铁行业。他在 1926 年完成学徒期后成立了这家公司，尽管他实际上在两年前，即 1924 年就开始制定计划。他是一个非常坚定的年轻人。

Stevenson's long-term plan was to manufacture components for the machine tools industry, although in fact that never came about, and for the automotive industry, that is, cars and lorries. However, there was a delay of five years before that happened, because shortly before the company went into production, Stevenson was given the opportunity to make goods for hospitals and other players in the health care industry. So that's what we did for the first five years.

史蒂文森的长期计划是为机床行业制造零部件，尽管事实上这一计划从未实现，以及为汽车行业（即汽车和卡车）制造零部件。然而，这一计划被推迟了五年，因为在公司投入生产前不久，史蒂文森获得了为医院和其他医疗保健行业参与者制造产品的机会。这就是我们在头五年做的事情。

Over the years, we've expanded the premises considerably. We were lucky that the site is big enough, so moving to a new location has never been necessary. However, the layout is far from ideal for modern machinery and production methods, so we intend to carry out major refurbishment of this site over the next five years.

多年来，我们大大扩大了场地。我们很幸运，场地足够大，所以从未需要搬到新地点。然而，布局远非现代机械和生产方法的理想选择，因此我们打算在未来五年内对场地进行大规模整修。

I'd better give you some idea of what you'll be doing during your two weeks with us, so you know what to expect. Most mornings, you'll have a presentation from one of the managers to learn about their department, starting this morning with research and development. And you'll all spend some time in each department, observing what's going on and talking to people, as long as you don't stop them from doing their work.

我最好给你介绍一下你在我们这里待了两周会做什么，这样你就知道会发生什么。大多数早上，你会听一位经理的演讲，了解他们的部门，今天早上从研发开始。你们都会在每个部门花一些时间，观察正在发生的事情并与人们交谈，只要你不阻止他们工作。

All together, in the past, a teacher from your school has come in at the end of each week to find out how the group were getting on, but your school isn't able to arrange that this year.

总的来说，在过去，你们学校的一位老师会在每周结束时来了解小组的进展情况，但你们学校今年无法安排。
