Todd: Some students might not know what an internship is. Can you explain what an internship is?
托德：有些学生可能不知道实习是什么。你能解释一下什么是实习吗？
Katia: Yes. An internship is when a student goes to an NGO or a company to work but most of the time you receive a stipend or you do not get paid and the purpose for this is for the student to get experience working, to know exactly what it's like to work and when you're choosing an internship you want to choose an area that you like to learn about and to see if you really wanted to do that.
卡蒂亚：好。实习就是学生去非政府组织或是公司工作，多数时候学生在实习期间可以获得补助，不过也可能没有任何薪水，实习的目的是积累工作经验，了解具体要怎么工作，在选择实习时，要选择你想学习的领域，想清楚你想做什么工作。
Todd: And you did an internship for five months?
托德：你实习了5个月？
Katia: For five months. It was an internship for five months.
卡蒂亚：5个月。这是一份为期5个月的实习。
Todd: Was it competitive to get the internship?
托德：获得实习机会竞争激烈吗？
Katia: Very competitive and actually I didn't know that until I got it.
卡蒂亚：竞争非常激烈，我在得到实习机会前都不知道竞争这么激烈。
Todd: Really?
托德：真的吗？
Katia: Yes and I'm glad I did not know otherwise I would feel the pressure but yes it was quite competitive I found out eventually.
卡蒂亚：对，我很高兴我事前不知道，不然我会感觉压力很大，不过最后我发现竞争真的非常激烈。
Todd: So the internship's kind of a weird situation because in a way it's free labor for the companies and people want the internship because they want work experience. How did you feel doing an internship? Did you ever feel like you had to work maybe more than you should have or was it something you were very happy with?
托德：实习是一种很奇怪的情况，因为在某种程度上说，这就是在免费为公司工作，人们想实习是因为他们想积累工作经验。你认为实习怎么样？你有没有感觉你工作的时间超出了规定时间，还是你很喜欢这份实习工作？
Katia: Actually I was very happy with what I was getting. I was getting a lot of experience. I don't feel that I was working for free. I was getting a lot in return. I learned a lot so I think it really depends on where you do the internship, it's what matters. So, no, I was very happy to do the internship. It gave me a lot of experience and I realized what I wanted to do so it was worth it for me.
卡蒂亚：实际上我对这份实习工作很满意。我积累了很多经验。我没有觉得我是在免费工作。我也有很多收获。我学到了很多，所以我认为这要取决于你在哪里实习，这才是重要的。我很高兴做这份实习。我学到了很多经验，而且我找到了我想做的事，所以我认为这很值得。
Todd: So what did you learn that you wanted to do?
托德：你想做什么工作？
Katia: Well before going to the internship, I liked law but I never worked nothing related with law so I wanted to experience, to know what it is and what you do and actually what does the work involve. So this was an NGO that dealt with human rights law so, yes, I realized after that yes this is what I want to do.
卡蒂亚：在去实习之前，我喜欢法律，不过我并没有法律方面的工作经验，所以我想积累这方面的经验，了解法律工作，了解法律工作都要做些什么。我在一家从事人权法工作的非政府组织实习，我发现这就是我想做的事。
Todd: Fantastic.
托德：那太好了。
