He'll come in later.

To moor... means to anchor?
锚定...锚定就是抛锚吗？
Yes. Right over there.
对对，在外面这里。
This is where we anchor. If ships cannot dock, they have to stop there and anchor waiting.
这里就是抛锚的地方，也就是说有大船来进不来的时候，这边靠不了码头的时候，就会在那里等，它就会停在那里抛锚，抛锚在那里等。
Waiting to dock?
然后等船把它靠进来？
Right. Ships anchor and wait before docking.
对，等这些船做完了然后再进去。
The dock allows only one ship to dock at a time.
它一下只能一条船进来嘛。
I see. Two ships cannot meet, can they?
喔，它不能会船。
No, they can't.
对，它不能会船的。
It is dangerous for them to meet.
很危险的，会船。
So the second ship can dock only after the first ship has left?
等港口里的船走了它再进来？
Yes.
对。
How can we drive here from the railway station? Do we need to wait till other cars leave?
这边到火车站有的时候坐车进来怎么样，要等其他的车走了才能进来？
由于这个船水深得比较深，有十几米，它只能环到那里，边上的小船可以走，但是大船就不行。到深水区就那么一点点。
Where is the coming ship from?
等会儿来那船是哪里的船？
Domestic.
国内的。
We want to shoot that ship, too.
我们待会儿还想出去拍一下那个船。
Since that this ship is large and that it stretch more than 10 meters into the water, it can only go to that place. Small ships can go further while large ships cannot because the deep water area is limited..].
...this is another task. Which is to say, these four tasks were done together.
……这场是另外的。就是说，我们四单一起。
This is from my office.

Who's interphone? (In Cantonese) Where is A Long's interphone?
这是谁的？（粤语）阿龙那台呢？
You'll leave it here or you'll bring it with you?

An island? And later it is transferred into a peninsula?
之前都是一个海岛？后来把它填成了一个半岛，现在是一个半岛？
(In Cantonese) Yes.
（粤语）是。
It used to be island. So did you applied this job by yourself or you got this job through friends' recommendation?
原来是一个岛。然后，你做这份工作你是自己走过来应聘说我想在这里工作，还是朋友推荐之类的？
(In Cantonese) Eh... Someone from Gaolan used to work here and they tole me that there was a job opportunity. Then I came here to work.
（粤语）呃……因为高栏之前有人在这里工作，像他们，他们说这里要招工，所以就叫我过来了。
You mean through friends' recommendation, right? Well, did you receive any training before you work as a commander?
就是等于说是朋友说这里招人啦，然后就过来啦？诶对了，你做的那个手势的指挥的工作是需要训练的吗？
(In Cantonese) Yes, I did.
（粤语）要训练的。
Did you work as a commander as soon as you came here to work?
就你一来到第一个就开始做那个？
(In Cantonese) Nope. Some veteran would teach us how to make the signals.
（粤语）不是。他们会在现场，那些领导会在现场，培训我们应该要怎么做。
So you got someone to teach you?
哦，就是有人培训要怎么做的？
Then you work as a commander all the time?
那你就是一直都在做这个指挥的工作？
All the time.
一直都在做指挥。
(In English) What did he say?
（英语）他说了什么？
(In Cantonese) ...they are talking about the game.
（粤语）……他们说打比赛嘛。
Do you have any other friends playing basketball with you yesterday to recommend so that we can also interview them?

I am just asking if you know someone we saw yesterday that we can interview them or shoot the scene of their working process.
就是昨天打球的，有没有其他的人是在这里工作的，然后我们可以见一下什么的？或者拍下他们工作的一些东西。
(In Cantonese) Well, it's OK.
（粤语）啊，可以的啊。
OK? (In English) So how about we go back to the questions?
可以的是吧？（英语）我们先问之前的那些问题怎么样？
(In English) Yes.
好。
I also want to ask that, as I don't know how old are you, does the dock appear after you were born?
然后另外就是，我不知道您大概年龄多少啦，但是我觉得您出生的时候还是没有这个码头的，是吧？
(In Cantonese) I am over 30 years old.
（粤语）我三十多啦。
Well, how should I ask this question? Does the dock influence this area significantly, especially for Gaolan or its neighborhood as it is an island before?
然后，我应该怎么问这个问题呢。你觉得这个码头对对于这个地方的改变大吗？就是对于高栏这个地方，或者这周边，就它原来是一个岛。
(In Cantonese) In terms of economy, it is very important.
（粤语）对经济来说，码头对这一带经济影响很重要。
What else changes would you say? For instance, some changes that you can easily feel, like...
然后，有没其他什么变化？比如说你们比较容易感受到的一些变化像是……
(In Cantonese) I think the factories or something else is quite good since there is a dock.
（粤语）例如像厂房啊各方面啊都做得挺好的，就是因为有了一个港口嘛。
Just because of the appearance of the dock? Then what about the transportation?
就是因为有了一个港口？然后，交通？
(In Cantonese) It's good.
（粤语）交通啊各方面都不错。
I believe the transportation is much better. As it used to be an island, it had only boats. And now it has roads and other facilities. Does it cause any changes to the life here? I am not specifically talking about your life as I am sure that your life must be changed a lot because you got a job after the dock is built. I mean, more precisely, the local people.
交通就比以前方便了。就是说它以前是个岛，应该有船什么的，然后现在就有路啊什么的。对于生活上有没有什么变化？比如说，我指的不是你哈，你在这里工作肯定有变化，比如说像是对于本地的人。
(In Cantonese) As for local people, I don't think there is any significant change.
（粤语）其实对本地人来说变化不大，都差不多。
No significant changes? But people here still do the fishing? Are there still any fishermen?
都差不多？但现在这里还有人捕鱼吗？还有渔民吗？
(In Cantonese) Yes. The fishermen all live on the opposite site.
（粤语）有啊，对面全部都是渔民。
They are all fishermen?
对面那边全都还是渔民？
(In Cantonese) They are all fisherman from Gaolan Cun.
（粤语）都是我们高栏村几条村的渔民。
Is the fishing abyssal or neritic?
那这边捕鱼是远海的还是近海的？
(In Cantonese) Neritic.
（粤语）近海的。
Neritic? Mostly neritic?
近海的？大多数是近海的？
(In Cantonese) All the fishermen live on that island.
（粤语）全部渔民都在那个岛上。
All live on that island? Not going anywhere far?
都在这个岛附近，不会走太远？
(In Cantonese) Not going anywhere. The farthest place they'll go is Hebao Island.
（粤语）不会走远。最远走到荷包岛而已。
Hebao Island? I think it is not so far?
最远去到荷包岛而已？荷包岛好像离这里不是很远？
(In Cantonese) You can see it from here.
（粤语）一眼就能望到。
That one?
就是看到的那个？
Yes.
嗯。
(In English) Do you ask what he does? And how long has he worked?
（英语）你问了他具体做什么工作吗？他工作多久了？
(In English) He just said a couple of years.
（英语）他说工作几年了。
(In English) He's from Gaolan Cun as he said?
（英语）他说他是高栏村的？
(In English) He's from Gaolan Cun. They used to be a ... like a ... they are not farmer. They fish. They are fishermen. They have boats and they will go out to fish, but not too far.
（英语）他是高栏村的。他们以前是……就不是农民。他们以前捕鱼，是渔民。他们有船，会出海捕鱼，但不会去太远。
(In English) So has the Zhuhai port affected the fishing? Once the port came, the fishing changed?
（英语）珠海港对他们的捕鱼有影响吗？是不是港口一建起来就影响了他们的渔业？
(In English) Yeah, I asked them, but he has already told me that they are still fishing.
（英语）我问过了，但他说没什么影响。
(In English) They're still fishing? But he doesn't fish?
（英语）他们还在捕鱼？但他本人就不是渔民了？
(In English) Do you have other questions?
（英语）你还有别的问题吗？
(In English) Does he like his work?
（英语）他喜欢他的工作吗？
Do you like your job?
你喜欢你的工作吗？
(In Cantonese) Of course, or I'll run 9 blocks away.
（粤语）喜欢啊。不喜欢的话我早就逃到九条街那么远。
(In English) He just said if he doesn't like it he will run 9 miles away.
（英语）他说如果他不喜欢的话就会逃到九公里那么远了。
(In English) I just wonder if he is local? Does he know the history of the port and the area? Like, how the port came up, how they build the port, does the port change the economy of Zhuhai?
（英语）我想问他是不是本地人？他知道这个港口和这个地方的历史吗？比如说港口是怎么建起来，港口的出现是否改变了珠海的经济？
She also wants to know that how this land came up. Is it due to the earth-filling or through requisition of land?
她还有一个想知道就是当时起这个港口的时候这个土地是填海填出来的呢还是说有一部分是征地征过来的？
(In Cantonese) Most were filled.
（粤语）绝大部分都是填海填出来的。
Most were filled? Filled an island into a peninsula？
大部分都是填海填出来的？把一个岛填成了一个半岛？
(In Cantonese) No. Two third of XXX is filled. There used to be a mountain beside the road and the building. And later they dug the mountain and filled it to the sea.
（粤语）不是不是，主要是全部的XX啊，XX啊，XX的三分之二的地都是填出来的。之前在公路边还有那栋楼那边之前是一座山，挖了些山，然后再填出来。
So the land is from the mountain instead of the sea?
挖了山填出来而不是海底抽的？
(In Cantonese) No. Can you see the mountain? The ring road is filled from the mountain beside it.
（粤语）不是不是。你看到那些山没有？就是环岛路那里的，环岛路那里就全部都是挖出来的（山填成的）。
Which is to say, the requisition of the original land only make up a small part of port construction?
等于说实际上用了本身的土地是很少的？
This land used to be a beach.
本来就是一个沙滩。
A beach without anything?
本来就是一个沙滩？什么都没有？
With some pine tree in it.
沙滩里面就是种了那些松树。
Pine tree planted in the beach?
种了松树？沙滩里面种了松树？
The beach belonged to Shabaishi Cun originally. Later it was sold.
这个沙滩原本就是我们沙白石村的嘛，后来就卖出去了。
I see. So most of the land are filled?
喔，这样，然后大部分土地还是填海出来的？
(In Cantonese) There used to be a sand surface (road).
（粤语）以前有条沙面的嘛。
(In Cantonese) After the road was constructed, the life quality of local people was higher. XXX, it was totally different.
（粤语）那条路通了之后，应该来说当地的人生活水平是有所提高的。XXX，和以前不一样了。
She said this place is very friendly as everyone passes by will come to have a chat hand have a cup of tea when they are having a break.

You ride your motorcycle home? (In English) He rides his motorcycle home. His home is just like over the mountain.

(In English) So he doesn't live here? He went home?

I also want to ask that if most workers are local, or they come from other places?
