我在 Moisens 和 Aspen 的世界島上看到很多波蘭商店，因為我來自倫敦東南部，所以那裡有很多波蘭商店和超市。

我認為這是一種刻板印象，但我聽說他們非常勤奮。

Very hard-working.

I know a lot of them obviously do come over, particularly with like trade jobs, there's a lot more access to that sort of work possibly.

我知道他們中的很多人顯然都會過來，尤其是像貿易類的工作，這類工作的機會可能會更多一些。

They're like the tide and the sea, they'll come over, and then they'll go home again, and then they'll come back, and then they'll go home again.

他們就像潮水和大海，會過來，然後又回家，然後又回來，然後又回家。

Now we're getting older, we're getting that way, aren't we?

Are you happy if you were to have building works that a poor would turn up as opposed to a Brit?

與英國人相比，如果您要進行建築施工，您是否願意讓窮人來？

Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah.

哦，是的，是的，當然，是的。

From the reputation, I mean, I'm hard at work, apparently, so I don't know if I've had much experience of having builders in.

從名聲來看，我的意思是，我顯然在努力工作，所以我不知道我是否有過很多讓建築商進來的經歷。

But that's like a positive stereotype, I guess.

但我想，這就像是一種積極的刻板印象。

Yeah, it is a positive, yeah.

是的，這是一個積極因素。

The Poles as tradies.

Yeah.

是啊

So we speak very highly of them, don't we, Cliff?

所以我們對他們評價很高，不是嗎，克里夫？

We do.

我們會的。

This hard-working thing is like a reoccurring theme that I get from a lot of people, hard-working.

我從很多人那裡反覆聽到勤奮這個詞。

Is that a stereotype, or is that an actual...

這是一種刻板印象，還是一種真實的...

No, from what I've experienced from them, they all work really hard, like, you know, want to work for their families, a big sort of part of their culture.

不，我從他們身上感受到的是，他們都非常努力地工作，就像，你知道的，想為家人工作，這是他們文化的重要組成部分。

I think, obviously, they want to work hard for their family.

我想，很明顯，他們想為家人努力工作。

The hard-working thing, is this a stereotype, or is this something that you know of?

辛勤工作這件事，是一種刻板印象，還是你所知道的？

Where does this come from?

這從何而來？

Well, we only know one, and that's Sarah's wife, Kasia.

Yeah, of course, everyone has.

是的，當然，每個人都有。

One of the people I work with, he worked here, and he was going to go back to Poland and build his own house in the countryside, so that was like a big thing for him, for him and his family, so, yeah.

我的一個同事在這裡工作，他打算回波蘭在鄉下蓋自己的房子，這對他和他的家人來說都是一件大事，所以，是的。

So I think it's not a stereotype, it's obviously the experience I've had with them, it's that they are really hard-working.

是以，我認為這不是刻板印象，很明顯，這是我與他們相處的經歷，他們真的很勤奮。

Obviously, saying that, maybe not everyone is, but it's probably like a common sort of, you know, trait in them that they have.

顯然，話雖如此，也許不是每個人都是這樣，但這可能是他們身上的一種共性。

And what's this about family...

關於家庭......

You said about family and tradition, you said that your friend sends money over back to her family.

你說過家庭和傳統，你說過你的朋友會寄錢給她的家人。

She does, yeah, yeah.

Do you think that's a typical thing, that they're sort of family-oriented?

你認為這是一個典型的事情，他們是那種以家庭為導向的人嗎？

Well, for what she was saying, you know, she really looks out for her family.

就她剛才說的，她真的很照顧家人。

They come over, they bring the children, and then whenever they go home, she sends them back with stuff, and she's always looking out for her family, all the time, isn't she?
