第二十六課: 尋工面試
Lesson 26: A Job Interview
各位聽眾朋友好，歡迎您收聽“旅游業(yè)英語”講座第二十六講。我是澳大利亞澳洲廣播電臺(tái)中文部的節(jié)目主持人馬健媛。
在這一講中我們要繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)尋工面試時(shí)會(huì)遇到的一些語言問題以及你在面試過程中可以向考官提出些什麼樣的問題。在我們學(xué)習(xí)新的課文之前先讓我們一起來回顧一下上一課對(duì)話的內(nèi)容。
Justine: Come in, Bob. I’m Justine Asker, the manager. You can call me Justine.
Bob: Pleased to meet you.
Justine: Sit down. Firstly, Bob, can I ask which job you are applying for?
Bob: I’m applying for the receptionist position.
Justine: I see that you have a Diploma in Hospitality. Have you done any front desk work before?
Bob: I have work experience in front desk. You have my supervisor’s report there. This will be my first paid position.
Justine: And why do you want to work at the Plaza Hotel?
Bob: Because it has a great reputation; not just for its service but as a good place to work.
Justine: I’m glad to hear it.
Justine: Bob, what strengths do you think you would bring to the job?
Bob: Oh, ah. I am patient and I’ve been told I put clients at ease.
Justine: Uh huh. And what do you see as your weaknesses?
Bob: Do you mean, what am I not so good at?
Justine: Yes.
Bob: Well, I understand English much better than I speak it at the moment. But I study at home and I look forward to learning more on the job.
Justine: Excellent.
接下來讓我們要學(xué)習(xí)新的對(duì)話內(nèi)容，我會(huì)將這一部分的對(duì)話逐句譯成中文。
杰斯丁： 鮑勃，我現(xiàn)在想問你一個(gè)假設(shè)性的問題。 你愿意為了客人的緣故去冒險(xiǎn)嗎？
Justine: Now, Bob, I’m going to ask you a hypothetical question. Would you compromise your own safety for the comfort of your guests?
鮑勃： 您是說就像勇敢的利奧那樣為了撈起客人的帽子而跳入鯊魚出沒的海里嗎？
Bob: Do you mean, like the Legendary Leo, who jumped into shark infested waters to save a guest’s hat?
杰斯?。?諸如此類吧。
Justine: Something like that.
鮑勃： 如果我必須這樣做的話，我可以做到。。。
Bob: If I must.
杰斯丁： 我想沒有人會(huì)要求你做到這種程度的，鮑勃。利奧實(shí)在是一個(gè)與眾不同的職員，但他的確太沖動(dòng)了。
Justine: I don’t think you would be expected to show that level of enthusiasm, Bob. Leo was an exceptional worker, but very impetuous.
鮑勃： 我想我會(huì)確保自己熟知與我這個(gè)工作崗位有關(guān)的健康安全條例并遵守酒店的相關(guān)程序。
Bob: In that case, I would make sure I know the health and safety requirements associated with my position and follow hotel procedures.
杰斯?。?這非常好。
Justine: Very good.
在這段對(duì)話中杰斯丁向求職者問了一個(gè) hypothetical question, 假設(shè)性的問題。這也就是說求職者要回答一旦出現(xiàn)某種情況時(shí)他要 怎麼做。有些假設(shè)性的問題要比杰斯丁在這段對(duì)話中提出的問題更加具體明確。鮑勃在回答這個(gè)問題時(shí)一開始就犯了一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤，那就是他首先猜測(cè)提問者想要什麼樣的回答，然后再按照這樣的思路去回答問題。實(shí)際上提問者希望聽到的回答在出現(xiàn)危機(jī)的情況時(shí)他必須要小心謹(jǐn)慎。當(dāng)然鮑勃最后還是給出了令人滿意的回答。在這里我要提醒您的是每一個(gè)工作崗位都有與其相關(guān)的守則，而每一個(gè)工作單位中都有自己的內(nèi)部安全條例和規(guī)則。一般來說在面試的時(shí)候主考官并不要求你一定要熟知這些規(guī)章制度，你只要表明自己會(huì)在拿到這份工作之后確保自己會(huì)熟悉并牢記這些規(guī)章，以處理可能出現(xiàn)的情況就可以了。我們來聽聽鮑勃是怎麼說的。
鮑勃： 我想我會(huì)確保自己熟知與我這個(gè)工作崗位有關(guān)的健康安全條例并遵守酒店的相關(guān)程序。
Bob: In that case, I would make sure I know the health and safety requirements associated with my position and follow hotel procedures.
現(xiàn)在讓我們跟著老師一起來練習(xí)。請(qǐng)重復(fù)老師的話。
I would make sure.
I would make sure I know.
The health and safety requirements.
I would make sure I know the health and safety requirements.
I would follow.
I would follow hotel procedures.
我們現(xiàn)在完整地聽一遍這部分對(duì)話，請(qǐng)?jiān)邗U勃的句子之后重復(fù)他的話。
Justine: Now, Bob, I’m going to ask you a hypothetical question. Would you compromise your own safety for the comfort of your guests?
Bob: Do you mean, like the Legendary Leo…
Bob: … who jumped into shark infested waters…
Bob: … to save a guest’s hat?
Justine: Something like that.
Bob: If I must.
Justine: I don’t think you would be expected to show that level of enthusiasm, Bob. Leo was an exceptional worker, but very impetuous.
Bob: In that case,
Bob: I would make sure I know …
Bob: … the health and safety requirements…
Bob: … associated with my position
Bob: …and follow hotel procedures.
Justine: Very good.
各給聽眾朋友，您現(xiàn)在收聽的是澳洲廣播電臺(tái)為您制作的“旅游業(yè)英語”教學(xué)節(jié)目。
第二十六課: 尋工面試
Lesson 26: A Job Interview
我們正在學(xué)習(xí)的是第二十六講 “尋工面試”。
接下來我們要學(xué)習(xí)新的對(duì)話內(nèi)容，我會(huì)將對(duì)話的內(nèi)容逐句譯成中文。
杰斯?。?你有什麼問題要問我嗎？
Justine: Now, is there anything you would like to ask me?
鮑勃： 有，我想問問是否有人知道利奧到底怎麼樣了？
Bob: Yes, I was wondering if anyone has heard what happened to Leo?
杰斯?。?鮑波，我的意思是你對(duì)這個(gè)職位是否有問題要問？
Justine: I mean questions relating to this position, Bob.
鮑勃： 哦，當(dāng)然有，，，啊，，我想問這個(gè)工作的上班時(shí)間是否可以靈活掌握？
Bob: Oh, of course. Um… Yes, I would like to know if the hours of duty are flexible.
杰斯?。?是的，這個(gè)職位是三個(gè)班次輪換，另外在忙的時(shí)候也要加班。
Justine: Yes, we have three shifts, and there is also overtime work available when we’re very busy.
鮑勃： 我知道了。
Bob: That’s good.
杰斯?。?鮑勃，我對(duì)你的資歷很感興趣，我們會(huì)在明天上午的時(shí)候電話通知你面試的結(jié)果。
Justine: I’m very impressed with your qualifications Bob. We’ll ring you and let you know the outcome tomorrow morning.
鮑勃： 謝謝您。再見。
Bob: Thank you. Goodbye.
杰斯?。?再見。
Justine: See you later.
一般來說在面試結(jié)束之前考官都會(huì)給你一個(gè)提問的機(jī)會(huì)，你最好準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)相關(guān)的問題，這樣也可以表明你對(duì)這個(gè)工作職位真的有興趣。但是在這里我要特別提醒您的是切忌不要詢問薪水的數(shù)目。這個(gè)問題你可以在申請(qǐng)工作之前自己設(shè)法查清楚。通常來說你可以利用提問的機(jī)會(huì)問一些諸如工作時(shí)間，你將要和多少人一起共事這一類無傷大雅的問題。你注意到了嗎，鮑勃在提問時(shí)是以這樣的短語開始的：I was wondering …… I would like to know ……這兩個(gè)短語的意思都是 ：我想問問。。。。讓我們跟著老師一起來練習(xí)。
I was wondering if…
I was wondering if the hours are flexible.
I would like to know...
I would like to know if the hours are flexible.
現(xiàn)在讓我們?cè)俾犚槐檫@段對(duì)話的最后一部分。請(qǐng)?jiān)邗U勃的話之后重復(fù)他的句子。
Justine: Now, is there anything you would like to ask me?
Bob: Yes, I was wondering if anyone has heard what happened to Leo?
Justine: I mean questions relating to this position, Bob.
Bob: Oh, of course. Um… Yes, I would like to know if the hours of duty are flexible.
Justine: Yes, we have three shifts, and there is also overtime work available when we’re very busy.
Bob: That’s good.
Justine: I’m very impressed with your qualifications Bob. We’ll ring you and let you know the outcome tomorrow morning.
Bob: Thank you. Goodbye.
Justine: See you later.
