《English Translation》

黄刚: 小花, have you noticed that more and more women are becoming ride-hailing drivers and food delivery riders lately? A few years ago, these industries were almost entirely male-dominated, but now things are different.
陈花: I’ve seen reports about that too. It’s quite interesting. I used to think these jobs were tough and dangerous, but it’s surprising how many women are taking them up, and they say the pay is good and the hours are flexible.
黄刚: Exactly. For example, one female rider said she used to work in a restaurant, making only two to three thousand yuan a month, but now delivering food she can earn nearly nine thousand a month. Although it's exhausting, her income has definitely multiplied several times.
陈花: Wow, I see. No wonder more and more women are willing to take these jobs. But such high income must mean they have to put in more effort and time, right?
黄刚: Exactly. They really push themselves hard, especially during peak hours when they barely have a moment to rest. The hours are flexible, but they still need to catch the peak times to ensure their income.
陈花: True, these jobs with high flexibility are especially suitable for women who need to take care of their families. Like ride-hailing drivers, they can adjust their work schedules based on their family’s needs.
黄刚: That’s right. Although these jobs are tough, they offer women more options, bringing greater flexibility and financial security to their lives.
