商務(wù)英語播客 第56課: 行政助理(下)
This is the second in a two-part Business English Podseries on administrative assistants, their jobs, andrelated vocabulary and collocations.
這是2節(jié)英語商務(wù)播客中的第2節(jié)，將學(xué)到有關(guān)行政助理及其工作職責(zé)，和與之相關(guān)的詞匯和搭配。
Collocations are a challenge for anyone learning English. There aren’t any specific rules to follow. You just have to listen for what sounds right. Still, they’reessential for English communication and important to keep in mind when you learn new vocabulary – don’t just think about the new word, think about what other words it might be used with. We’ll point out some useful collocations related to daily office work as we go through this lesson.
搭配對學(xué)英語的人是一種挑戰(zhàn)。沒有任何特定的規(guī)律可循。所以你必須留意那些聽起來是正確的內(nèi)容。而且搭配對于英語交流是十分必要的，當你學(xué)習(xí)新詞匯是要記住相關(guān)搭配——不要只記單詞，想想它和什么詞可以搭配使用。我們會指出一些與日常辦公室工作相關(guān)的搭配。
Administrative assistants are important to any business organization. For example, they make sure data is handled responsibly and records are maintained properly. It might seem like they work in the background, but their jobs are critical to the smooth running of a company.
行政助理對于商業(yè)組織都是十分重要的。比如，他們能確保負責(zé)任地處理過數(shù)據(jù)，并保存好記錄。他們似乎只在幕后工作，但是行政助理的工作對于公司的運作是很關(guān)鍵的。
