More U.S. Job-Hunters Try Australia
越来越多美国求职者 试着前往澳大利亚
Australia's economic boom is spurring a steady stream of unexpected visitors
looking for work: Americans.
澳大利亚的经济繁荣正在催生一股以找工作为目的前往澳洲的稳定客流，这批人的来源地
出人意料，他们来自美国。
U.S. citizens are heading to Australia in small but growing numbers as
near-10% unemployment at home drives more to look for jobs Down Under, where
China's thirst for iron ore and energy is transforming the Pacific nation
into an economic powerhouse.
美国接近10%的失业率正推动更多的美国人前往澳大利亚寻找工作，因此前往澳洲的美国
人虽然现在数量还不多，但却在不断增长。得益于中国对铁矿石和能源的渴求，澳大利亚
经济正在强劲增长。
Daniel Davila, a 23-year-old timber floorer from Camarillo, Calif.—a Los
Angeles suburb knee-deep in the Golden State's housing dust bowl—made the
14-hour move across the Pacific two years ago. He had been forced to take a
job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for $8.90 an hour when he
couldn't get work installing floors.
23岁的Daniel Davila是来自加州Camarillo的一名木地板铺设工，这座洛杉矶郊区的小镇
深受加州住房市场萧条之苦，他两年前坐了14小时飞机跨越太平洋来到澳大利亚。在美国
时由于得不到铺设木地板的工作，他曾被迫在当地一家杂货店干给货架上货的工作，每小
时工资只有8.90美元。
On a good day in Australia, he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars
(US$50.21) an hour—about twice the going rate for a typical flooring job in
the U.S. He plans to start his own flooring business.
而目前在澳大利亚，如果赶上生意好，他每小时最多能挣50澳元(合50.21美元)，这大约
是美国铺地板工作通常每小时工资的两倍。戴维拉计划创立自己的木地板铺设企业。
"I can make what I did in a week in the U.S. in less than a day here," said
Mr. Davila, who lives near the mining boom town of Perth, in Western
Australia.
他说，我在澳大利亚不到一天赚的钱能赶上我在美国一周赚的。Davila 居住在西澳大利
亚繁荣的矿业城市珀斯附近。
