Denuo''乐队的汤姆说，我们可以合作，于是我就开始临时为他们预订一些演出......然后开始安排一些事情，比如，你知道的，商品，并试图建立唱片公司，比如，你知道的，与唱片公司和经纪人的联系等等。 And booking some shows for them and just, sort of, different elements of it.

Oh well, thirty-one years ago now. 于是我说："那我就来白干吧。"于是，我就从那时开始，那是三十年前的事了。哦，那是三十一年前的事了。 Oh wow! And so, I guess there's some job enjoyment then, if you've been doing this… No, for the first twenty years yes, for the last ten no. Absolutely none whatsoever. 哇！所以，我想如果你一直在做这个的话，应该会有一些工作上的乐趣......不，头二十年是的，最后十年没有。绝对没有。 People are far more needy; the general public tend to be far more needy now than they ever were twenty years ago. 人们更加需要帮助；现在的公众比 20 年前更加需要帮助。 I did… no, I've done it for the last ten years.

It's… if you're not there twenty-four-seven, you get your… your derriere kicked. 而现在，情况好多了 这是......如果你二十四小时不在那里，你就会被......你就被踢走了。 I understand now. is this something which you sort of, wanted to go into or did you sort of, fall into it by accident? 我现在明白了，这是你想进入的领域，还是偶然进入的领域？ Erm… a bit of both really.

Okay, erm… definitely working with amazing artists and hearing new material and new tracks. 也许，你会比平时更亲切一些。好吧，呃......肯定是与出色的艺术家合作，听到新材料和新曲目。 Er… so obviously, you hear it first hand, so they send me over stuff. 呃......所以很明显，你听到了第一手消息，所以他们把东西寄给了我。 Er… like, so ''Ailsa Tully''; she's just got a release out, in a couple of week's time and she'll like, send me the stuff over and then I sort of, listen to it and maybe give some feedback. 呃......比如，''艾尔莎·塔利''；她刚发行了一张专辑，就在几周后，她会把东西发给我，然后我听一下，也许会给点反馈。 But, I kind of leave it to the artist because they're the ones… they're the experts, obviously. And they're the ones who… whose material it is, so I don't try to get too involved with that, but I can give my feedback and listen. 不过，我还是会把这个问题留给艺术家，因为他们才是......显然，他们才是专家。他们才是......他们的素材，所以我不会过多地参与其中，但我可以给出反馈并倾听。 But that's… you know, that's the beauty of it, is kind of, I love listening to new music. 但这就是......你知道，这就是它的魅力所在，我喜欢听新音乐。 So having that first hand you know, when an artist sends you a new track and your like, my God, this is amazing, I love this, you can just go like, this is like, your first pers… the first person to hear this outside of their like, little bubble which is quite cool. 因此，当艺人给你发来一首新歌，你会说 "我的天哪，这首歌太棒了，我喜欢 "时，你就会说 "这是你的第一个观点......第一个在自己的小圈子之外听到这首歌的人，这很酷。 Um… Touring is amazing as well, so I've done a lot of touring of the UK but also Europe. 嗯……旅游也很棒，所以我在英国和欧洲巡回演出过很多次。 And been lucky to kind of, go to amazing festivals like ''Glastonbury'' and ''The Great Escape'' and ''Liverpool Sound City'', through working with musicians and artists that I er… I love and adore, so it's kind of really, that's the best bit, hanging out with your mates. 通过与我......我热爱和崇拜的音乐家和艺术家合作，我很幸运地参加了格拉斯顿伯里音乐节、大逃亡音乐节和利物浦声音之城音乐节等令人惊叹的音乐节，这是最棒的一点，和你的朋友们一起出去玩。 Does sound very glamorous, but when you have to drive to the… the most, craziest drive I think, well I've done a couple of crazy drives, but the most, craziest I think, was doing one night in Paris with a bank called ''Boy Azooga'' who, again are friends of mine, who I've worked with for a few years. 听起来很迷人，但当你开车去......我觉得最疯狂的一次，我有过几次疯狂的驾驶，但最疯狂的一次，我觉得是在巴黎的一个晚上，和一家叫''Boy Azooga''的银行一起，他们也是我的朋友，我和他们合作过几年。 We drove from overnight from Paris to do showcases in Brighton in ''The Great Escape''. 我们连夜从巴黎驱车赶到布莱顿，在''大逃亡''中进行演出。 And, they did like, five or six showcases the next day and we were like, we got there at… I think it was like, five o'clock in the morning, after driving overnight, got there, we had to do obviously, ''Eurotunnel'' and all that and by the time we got there, had about two or three hours' kip, had to be up again and then, I was driving around the various different setups in… in Brighton. 第二天，他们举办了五六场演出，我们凌晨五点就到了那里，开了一夜的车，到了那里，穿过了欧洲隧道，到了那里，我们睡了两三个小时，又得起床，然后，我开车在布莱顿的各个不同的地方转了一圈。 And it was just like, it was… it was… you know, organised chaos but I loved it. I didn't get any… like, hardly any sleep, 'cos you kind of, once you settle down down you're still buzzing. But… That sounds great; living in the madness is just fun, I think. 就像，就像......就像......你知道的，有组织的混乱，但我喜欢这样。我没有......几乎没有睡过觉，因为你一旦安顿下来，就会觉得很兴奋。但是...听起来不错；我认为，生活在疯狂中就是一种乐趣。 Yeah, totally. 是的，完全正确。 When I said that would be what is your job, you er… you… I feel that you, almost don't want to do the interview then. 当我说你的工作是什么时，你......你......我觉得你几乎不想接受采访。 Absolutely. Everyone hates estate agents. 绝对的。每个人都讨厌房地产经纪人。 Okay and this is like, a cliché right? 好吧，这是老生常谈，对吧？ We're just one up from tax inspectors. You're not a tax inspector as well are you? No, I hope not. 我们只是比税务检查员高一级而已。你不会也是税务稽查员吧？希望不是。 I'm yet to interview one. But why is that? I understand tax inspectors right. Because you have to give your money away to them, but what is the problem or the cliché behind the issue of… How old are the kids you're doing this for? Are they young? 我之前还没有采访过。但这是为什么？我理解税务检查员的权利。因为你必须把你的钱给他们，但是……问题背后的问题或老生常谈是什么？你的孩子多大了？年龄小吗？ It's not specifically for kids, it could be for anyone learning English. 这不是专门为孩子们准备的，任何人都可以学习英语。 Oh okay, what age from? Are they older? 哦，好吧，什么年龄？年龄更大吗？ Anyone can watch… anyone can watch it. 任何人都可以看…任何人都可以看。 Okay, I was going to use an expletive, then I won't. 好吧，我本来想用脏话的，那我就不说了。 No do, I can bleep! 不，我可以消音！ Estate agents aren't… they're vilified and for a very good reason. They're… they're normally they… well they're just basically liars. 房产中介不是... 他们被诋毁是有原因的。他们......他们通常......嗯，他们基本上就是骗子。 That's… that's what they are, virtually every single one I've ever met, apart from the ones I work with, are liars. 那是…他们就是这样，几乎我遇到的每一个人，除了和我一起工作的人，都是骗子。 They embellish the truth; they'd sell something they don't actually own to people who don't really want it, to realise a dream they're ever going to be paying for the next thirty years. 他们粉饰真相；他们会把他们实际上并不拥有的东西卖给那些并不真正想要它的人，以实现他们在未来三十年里将要付出的梦想。 And unfortunately, we're all on that treadmill. 不幸的是，我们都在那台跑步机上。 And can I ask the final, final question? 我能问最后一个问题吗？ Is it true the whole rumour about you know, like, when you go for a viewing; estate agents will time it, just before or after the… like, the plane has done the fly-by, the train has… Oh yeah, yeah. We had one in… local, I was gonna give my address anyway. Locally to where I live and it… the train line ran right down the back of it. 关于你去看房的传言是真的吗？房产中介会算好时间，就在......比如，飞机已经飞过，火车已经......哦，是的，是的。我们在......本地有一家，我本来想告诉你我的地址的。就在我住的地方......火车线路就从它后面穿过。 And as we went down the guy shouted over the top of the trains; ''they're not very noisy are they!'' Thanks for watching the week's episode, let me know what you do for a job and what the perks are and we'll see you next week, bye. 当我们往下走时，那个人在火车顶上喊道：''他们不是很吵吧！''感谢您收看本周的节目，请告诉我您的工作是什么，有什么优点，我们下周再见。
