Good Qualities

Todd: So, Matt, we're talking about adjectives this week and, or qualities about people, so let's talk about what makes people good at what they do. First of all, what do you think makes a good student? We're both teachers so in your mind what's a good student? Matt: I think somebody who is motivated, self-motivated and somebody who takes an interest in what they are doing and works at it, and I mean, as a teacher I always enjoy people who are outgoing and have a personality, but I know reality is that not every student can be like that so you just try to... as a student I think that the most important thing is to show interest and participate and work outside of class. Todd: Right, I totally agree. OK, so now how about work. What makes a good boss? Matt: I've had so many different jobs and so many different bosses. I think a good boss is somebody who knows his... the people who work for him, and he knows the strengths and he can communicate or she can communicate what they really want for each worker and somebody who can delegate responsibility , but that shows that they know and that they care about what their minions are doing for them. Todd: Right. OK, now moving on, how about what makes a good friend? Matt: A good friend? I think somebody who just can listen and kind of unconditional love almost or like anything that you do, anything that you do can't tarnish the relationship and somebody who is loyal and who is honest basically. Todd: OK, and this is the last one. What makes a good parent? Matt: A good parent! Not that I would know from firsthand experience , but I think, you know, just somebody who is there always and who takes care of the child and, you know, spends time I think, spends quality time. People who work hard can tend to forget about their child if they're too focused on other things and parents who really are there and listen and talk to the kid usually have the greatest success. Todd: OK, thanks a lot Matt. I appreciate your time. Matt: Yeah.

Todd: So, Matt, we’re talking about adjectives this week and, or qualities about people, so let’s talk about what makes people good at what they do. ||||||sıfatlar||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||何||||に||| First of all, what do you think makes a good student? We’re both teachers so in your mind what’s a good student? İkimiz de öğretmeniz, size göre iyi öğrenci nedir? Matt: I think somebody who is motivated, self-motivated and somebody who takes an interest in what they are doing and works at it, and I mean, as a teacher I always enjoy people who are outgoing and have a personality, but I know reality is that not every student can be like that so you just try to... as a student I think that the most important thing is to show interest and participate and work outside of class. ||||||||||||ilgi duyan||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||人々|||社交的な||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Matt: Bence motive olan, kendi kendini motive eden ve yaptığı işe ilgi duyan ve bunun için çalışan biri ve demek istediğim, bir öğretmen olarak her zaman dışa dönük ve kişilikli insanlardan hoşlanırım, ancak gerçek şu ki, her öğrenci böyle olamaz, bu yüzden sadece denersiniz... bir öğrenci olarak en önemli şeyin ilgi göstermek, katılmak ve ders dışında çalışmak olduğunu düşünüyorum. Todd: Right, I totally agree. OK, so now how about work. What makes a good boss? İyi bir patron nasıl olur? Matt: I’ve had so many different jobs and so many different bosses. ||||||işler|||||patronlar Matt: Pek çok farklı işim ve pek çok farklı patronum oldu. I think a good boss is somebody who knows his... the people who work for him, and he knows the strengths and he can communicate or she can communicate what they really want for each worker and somebody who can delegate responsibility , but that shows that they know and that they care about what their minions are doing for them. ||||||||||||||||||||güçlü yönler||||||||||||||||||kim||sorumluluk vermek|||||||||||||ne istediklerini||yardımcıları|||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||彼女||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Ich denke, ein guter Chef ist jemand, der seine... die Leute kennt, die für ihn arbeiten, und er kennt die Stärken, und er kann kommunizieren oder sie kann kommunizieren, was sie wirklich für jeden Arbeiter will, und jemand, der Verantwortung delegieren kann, aber das zeigt, dass er weiß und dass er sich darum kümmert, was seine Untergebenen für ihn tun. Bence iyi bir patron, kendisi için çalışan insanları tanıyan, güçlü yönlerini bilen ve her bir çalışan için gerçekten ne istediklerini iletebilen ya da iletebilen ve sorumluluk devredebilen, ancak bildiklerini ve kölelerinin onlar için ne yaptıklarını önemsediklerini gösteren kişidir. Todd: Right. OK, now moving on, how about what makes a good friend? Matt: A good friend? I think somebody who just can listen and kind of unconditional love almost or like anything that you do, anything that you do can’t tarnish the relationship and somebody who is loyal and who is honest basically. ||||||||||koşulsuz|||||||||||seni|||lekelemek|||||||||||| Todd: OK, and this is the last one. What makes a good parent? Matt: A good parent! Not that I would know from firsthand experience , but I think, you know, just somebody who is there always and who takes care of the child and, you know, spends time I think, spends quality time. Bilmiyorum ama||||||ilk elden||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| İlk elden deneyimlediğimden değil ama bence, bilirsiniz, her zaman orada olan ve çocukla ilgilenen ve bence zaman geçiren, kaliteli zaman geçiren biri. 虽然我没有第一手经验，但我认为，你知道的，总是在那里照顾孩子的人，花时间，我认为，花质量时间。 People who work hard can tend to forget about their child if they’re too focused on other things and parents who really are there and listen and talk to the kid usually have the greatest success. Las personas que trabajan duro pueden tender a olvidarse de su hijo si están demasiado centradas en otras cosas, y los padres que realmente están ahí y escuchan y hablan con el niño suelen tener más éxito. Çok çalışan insanlar, başka şeylere çok odaklandıklarında çocuklarını unutmaya meyilli olabilirler ve gerçekten orada olan, çocuğu dinleyen ve onunla konuşan ebeveynler genellikle en büyük başarıya sahip olurlar. 努力工作的人如果太专注于其他事情，往往会忘记自己的孩子，而那些真正在那里倾听、与孩子交谈的父母通常拥有最大成功。 Todd: OK, thanks a lot Matt. 托德：好的，非常感谢，马特。 I appreciate your time. Ich danke Ihnen für Ihre Zeit. 感谢您的时间。 Matt: Yeah.
