This is the first in a two-part Business English Podseries on the work of administrative assistants. We’ll be looking at vocabulary and collocations related to office duties and daily routines.

這是2節(jié)英語(yǔ)商務(wù)播客中的第1節(jié)，將學(xué)習(xí)到行政助理。我們將看下與電腦責(zé)任和日常例行公事有關(guān)的詞匯和搭配。

Before we start, let’s talk a bit about collocations. Collocations are groups of words that are commonly used together. Native speakers are so used to using them, they know what sounds “right” and what sounds “wrong.” For example, in English the phrase“go online” is a natural way to refer to using the internet. But it wouldn’t be natural to say something like “proceed online” or “travel online”, even though “proceed” and “travel” are other ways to express “go.” You’ll hear lots of collocations related to office life in today’s dialog. Listen out for them and we’ll explain what they mean and how to use them in the debrief.

在開始前，我們先來(lái)說(shuō)下 搭配，搭配就是能使用在一起的許多詞。母語(yǔ)的說(shuō)話人已經(jīng)習(xí)慣使用搭配了，他們知道如何用是對(duì)的，如何用是錯(cuò)的，比如在英語(yǔ)短語(yǔ)“go online”就是使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)的一種自然表達(dá)法。但是即使proceed” 和“travel” 都能表示go的意思，“proceed online”和“travel online”也不是很自然的說(shuō)法。在今天的對(duì)話中，你會(huì)聽到許多魚辦公室生活相關(guān)的許多搭配。要仔細(xì)聽，我們會(huì)解釋他們的意思和用法。

Now, on to the role of an administrative assistant. The job title of “administrative assistant”, or “admin assistant” for short, can cover quite a broad range of responsibilities. Admin assistants typically spend a lot of time handling data – whether it’s timesheets recording the working hours of other employees, or rosters used for scheduling meeting rooms. Much of what they do involves making sure that other employees are working as efficiently as possible.

現(xiàn)在，看下行政助理的角色。“administrative assistant”簡(jiǎn)稱為“admin assistant”，會(huì)涉及很多職責(zé)。行政助理會(huì)花很多時(shí)間來(lái)處理數(shù)據(jù)——無(wú)論是用來(lái)記錄員工工作時(shí)間的時(shí)間表還是開會(huì)人員的花名冊(cè)。很多工作都要確保其他員工能有效率地工作。

In this episode we’ll talk with Christina, who works as an admin assistant in the human resources department of an auto parts manufacturer. Christina’s going to tell us about some of the responsibilities of her position.
