面試英語實用口語：面試建議

　　A：Hi, George. I，m going to have a job interview next week. Could you give me some advice?

　　A:嗨，喬治。我下個星期就要面試了。你 能否給我提些建議?

　　B：Sure. First of all, it’s very important for you not to be late. Job interviewers usually don’t think very highly of a candidate who arrives ten minutes after the appointed time, only to explain that he could not find the place or that there was heavy traffic.

　　B:當(dāng)然可以。首先你不能遲到。主試人一般對那些遲到10分鐘，只解釋說他找不 到地方或路上堵車的應(yīng)試者評價不會很高。

　　A:Yeah,that’s very important.

　　A:對，這非常重要。

　　B： So you’d better explore the place the day before and at the same time, look around to see what the employees are wearing. So the next day you will arrive early for the appointment.

　　B:所以你最好頭一天就實地偵察一番，同 時看看那些雇員穿些什么。第二天你要 提前到達(dá)面試地點(diǎn)。

　　A ： I’ll try my best to make a good impression on the interviewer.

　　A ：我要盡最大努力留下一個好印象。

　　B: That’s right. You need to create a good image in a limited time,usually about 30 to 45 minutes.

　　B:對。你應(yīng)該在有限的時間內(nèi)，通常是30 到45分鐘樹立一個好的形象。

　　A： It’s always easier to say something than to do it.

　　A:說來容易做起來難。

　　B：It’s not too difficult to make a good impression. For example, you should take care to appear well-groomed and modestly dressed. Avoid the extremes of a too elaborate or too casual style. This will put you on the same level as other applicants and make the interviewer consider more important qualifications.

　　B:樹立好的印象并不難。例如，你首先要 儀表整齊，穿著得體。既不要穿著太復(fù) 雜的款式，也不要穿得太隨便。這樣能 使主試人把你和其他應(yīng)聘者放到一起衡 量，考慮一些更重要的東西。

　　A：But I love wearing T-shirts and jeans.

　　A:可是我愛穿T恤和牛仔褲。

　　B：l advise you not to wear a too casual style when going to an interview. Informal clothes as well as torn jeans and dirty shoes convey the impression that you are not serious about the job, or that you may be casual about your work as you are about your clothes.

　　B:我建議你面試時不要穿這種隨意的款 式。像磨舊的牛仔褲、臟鞋以及不正式 的服裝可以給人造成一種你對工作不認(rèn) 真或你對待工作的態(tài)度和對待穿著一樣 不認(rèn)真的印象。

　　A ： It’s a pity that I cannot afford more expensive clothes.

　　A:可惜我買不起更貴的服裝。

　　B： You misunderstood me. Clothes which are too colorful or too expensive suggest that you do not understand what behavior is appropriate for the job, or that you are snobbish or frivolous.

　　B:你誤解我了。太花哨或太貴的服裝，只 能說明你不知道對工作應(yīng)該采取什么樣 的態(tài)度,或者你為人勢利或輕浮。

　　A:I know what you mean. I ought to wear right clothes at the right time.

　　A:我明白了。我的著裝應(yīng)該因時因地而異。

　　B： You got it. Only in this way can you gain the respect of the interviewer and his confidence in your judgement.

　　B:是這樣。只有如此方能使主試人尊重你，相信你的鑒別能力。

　　A： It seems that “clothes make the man”.

　　A:看來“衣冠造人”呀。

　　B: It may not be true, but the first and lasting impression of you is determined by your clothes and behavior.

　　B:這句話可能不對。但第一印象，通常也是持久印象，是由你的行為與著裝決定 的。
