Unit 07: Reading 5 Pembantu Baru Flashcards
Keluarga Wilson baru sampai di Jakarta. Mereka mendapat rumah besar di Jalan Wijaya IV di Kebayoran Baru.
The Wilson family had just arrived in Jakarta. They got a big house on Jalan Wijaya IV in Kebayoran Baru.
Waktu mereka masuk rumah itu sudah ada 2 orang pembantu, yaitu satu pembantu wanita bekerja sebagai tukang masak dan tukang cuci, satu pembantu laki-laki yang bekerja sebagai tukang membersihkan rumah dan kebun tapi juga bisa bantu-bantu di dapur.
When they entered the house there were already 2 servants, namely one female servant who worked as a cook and washerwoman, one male servant who worked as a cleaner of the house and garden but could also help in the kitchen.
Kedua pembantu ini terus tinggal di rumah itu waktu majikan mereka yang dulu kembali ke Amerika.
These two servants continued to live in the house when their former employer returned to America.
Bapak dan Ibu Wilson masih punya anak-anak kecil, jadi mereka perlu pengasuh anak. Selain pengasuh anak Pak Wilson juga perlu supir.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson still had small children, so they needed a babysitter. In addition to the babysitter, Mr. Wilson also needed a driver.
Mereka bertanya kepada pembantu-pembantunya apa mereka ada teman atau saudara yang mau kerja di rumah mereka.
They asked their servants if they had any friends or relatives who wanted to work in their house.
Siti, tukang masak mereka bilang, suaminya sekarang belum kerja lagi, sebab majikannya sudah kembali ke Jepang.
Siti, their cook, said that her husband was not working anymore, because his employer had returned to Japan.
