Task 1 of Listening.

Hemos preguntado a dos personas una pregunta.

We have asked two people a question.

¿Cuáles de estos tipos de personas has sido o querrías ser?

Which of these types of people have you been or would you like to be?

¿Un actriz?

A female actor?

¿Un capitán?

¿Un paciente?

Which of the speakers has been an actress, a captain, a captain?

Nunca, nunca, nunca he performado de nuevo después de eso, ni siquiera he danzado de nuevo después de eso.

Never, never, never have I performed again after that, nor have I even danced again after that.

Nunca, nunca, nunca he danzado de nuevo después de eso.

I have never, never, never danced again after that.

Y luego, creo que mi tiempo más reciente de actuar o de hacer actividades sería...

And then, I think my most recent time of acting or doing activities would be...

Hice algunos comerciales y modelé cuando vivía en Nueva York durante un par de años.

I did some commercials and modeled when I lived in New York for a couple of years.

Y así fue bastante una actividad cuando alguien está agarrando una cámara en frente de ti y te dice que vas.

And so it was quite an activity when someone is holding a camera in front of you and tells you that you're going.

Algo que me gustó mucho en algún momento de mi vida, de una manera u otra,

Something that I really liked at some point in my life, in one way or another,

sería involucrarme en la política, porque soy muy apasionado por el cambio

It would be getting involved in politics, because I am very passionate about change.

y muy apasionado por la gente.

and very passionate about people.

Yo siempre podía entrar en el servicio público de una manera u otra,

I could always get into public service one way or another,

pero creo que para llegar al fondo de algo, para hacer que algo cambie,

but I believe that to get to the bottom of something, to make something change,

tienes que estar en el lado político, en el lado legal.

You have to be on the political side, on the legal side.

Así que me gustaría estar en algún tipo de...

So I would like to be in some kind of...

Tener algún tipo de oficio en algún punto de mi vida,

Having some kind of trade at some point in my life,

donde pueda hacer un cambio para las personas que me importan y para la comunidad alrededor de mí.

where I can make a change for the people that matter to me and for the community around me.

¿Te gustaría ser una actriz?

Would you like to be an actress?

Bueno, no creo que tenga ese tipo de ego,

Well, I don't think I have that kind of ego.

aunque soy muy extranjera y seguramente usualmente tengo mucho que decir sobre todo.

Although I am very foreign and I surely usually have a lot to say about everything.

Pero para llegar en un escenario y actuar para la gente, no, no lo creo.

But to get on a stage and perform for people, no, I don't think so.

¿Un paciente?

A patient?

Bueno, yo he sido un paciente, no me gusta ser un paciente,

Well, I have been a patient, I don't like being a patient.

pero a veces nos forzamos a hacer cosas que no nos importa mucho hacer,

but sometimes we force ourselves to do things that we don’t really care much about doing,

y ser un paciente se pone en esa categoría.

and being a patient falls into that category.

¿Un capitán?

A captain?

Bueno, eso es totalmente fuera de mi ámbito de pensamiento o consideración.

Well, that is completely outside my realm of thought or consideration.

No tengo ni idea de lo que los capitanes hacen o deberían hacer,

I have no idea what captains do or should do,

y no creo que haya conocido a nadie.

and I don't think I have met anyone.

Así que eso deja al capitán fuera.

So that leaves the captain out.

Y un político...

And a politician...

¡Absolutamente no!

Absolutely not!

Eso toma el mismo ego como un actriz,

That takes the same ego as an actress,

pero tal vez con menos ética.

but perhaps with less ethics.
