BEC初級考試閱讀：應(yīng)征面談
找工作時的面試，正是應(yīng)征單位決定是否要延攬應(yīng)征者的依據(jù)。在面試中，除需注意衣裝合宜之外，得體出眾的談吐實為關(guān)鍵所在。怎么樣的談話內(nèi)容和態(tài)度，才能使你脫穎而出呢?
英文正文
Good morning. It’s a pleasure for me to be here in front of you to present myself. My name is Jennifer Wong, and I am a candidate for the position of Overseas Sales Representative.
My background and work experience are tailor-made for this position. I studied marketing as an undergrad here in Taiwan, and in 1985, I received my MBA from the University of Texas School of Business. For five years now, I have utilized my skills and knowledge as the Assistant Director of Exports for Magic Kitchen Supplies.
Action Appliances is a forward-looking company. I am aware that you are expanding into new markets, particularly in the U.S. Thus you are going to need aggressive, take-charge sales representatives. At Magic Kitchen, during my five years there, we expanded our U.S. market share by 25%. This is just one example of my ability to go out there and sell products.
A position with your company would be both a learning experience and a great opportunity. I look forward to becoming part of the Action team. Thank you.

短語解說
tailor-made 最適合，最完美的
"tailor"是‘裁縫師’;裁縫師以手工制作的西裝，總是最合身。因此這個詞組是形容某人或是某物的條件好，對于某種情況來說，是最完美、最合適的。
With her background and education, she is tailor-made to run this company.
以她的背景和教育程度，她來經(jīng)營這個公司是最適當了!
MBA 企管碩士
這是"Master of Business Administration"(企管碩士)的縮寫。"Master"是指‘碩士(學位)’;"Administration"是‘行政管理、經(jīng)營’的意思。
If you want an MBA, it’s important to get accepted to a good school.
你若有心攻得企管碩士的學位，最好先申請到一所好學校。
forward-looking 高瞻遠矚的
這個口語用法源自動詞詞組"look forward",‘往前看、眼光向前’之意。所以"forward looking"這個形容詞引申有‘高瞻遠矚的、考慮未來’的意思。
Only the most forward-looking companies will adapt and profit in the 1990’s.
在90年代，只有把眼光放遠的公司才能生存獲利。
take-charge 負責的
這是由動詞詞組"take charge of"演變出來的形容詞，意思就是指‘能控制事情，負起責任’的人或組織。
We’re looking for a take-charge company to distribute our new product in a competitive market.
我們在找一個肯負責的公司，將我們的產(chǎn)品在競爭激烈的市場中分銷出去。
market share 市場占有率
特指某種產(chǎn)品，因有固定的消費者購買，故而控制了市場的一部份;"market share"即指在同類產(chǎn)品的市場中所占有的銷售比例。"share"在此當名詞用，有‘份兒;分擔’的意思。
After all of our TV sets were found to be defective, our market share dropped by 75%.
我們的電視機被發(fā)現(xiàn)有瑕疵之后，市場占有率下跌了百分之七十五。
