In this advanced Business English Podcast we continue to look at the language and skills of interviewing for jobs in English.

在這節(jié)高級(jí)商務(wù)英語(yǔ)播客中，我們繼續(xù)來(lái)看下英語(yǔ)面試中的語(yǔ)言和技巧。

So far in this series, we’ve examined two common question themes that you will likely be asked in almost any interview. They were, “Tell me about your previous experience?”, and “What is your most significant accomplishment?”

目前為止在這個(gè)系列課程中，我們已經(jīng)回顧了2個(gè)普遍些的幾乎在任何面試中都會(huì)被問(wèn)到的問(wèn)題。它們是：“說(shuō)下你以前的經(jīng)驗(yàn)?”和“你最重要的成就是什么?”

In this episode, we will likewise deal with another extremely common question. Unfortunately, it’s almost as challenging to answer as it is popular to ask. It requires you to think about possible problems with your working style and personality, and to give an answer that demonstrates professionalism and the ability to present your weakness as a strength. That’s right, you guessed it, the question is: What’s your greatest weakness?

在這節(jié)課中，我們來(lái)處理下另一個(gè)比較普遍的問(wèn)題。不幸的是，這個(gè)問(wèn)題問(wèn)得較多但是回答起來(lái)很有挑戰(zhàn)，那要求你想下這節(jié)的工作方式和個(gè)性中遇到的問(wèn)題，并給出能證明專業(yè)素質(zhì)和能力的答案，從而將弱點(diǎn)變成長(zhǎng)處。那個(gè)問(wèn)題就是：“你最大的弱點(diǎn)是什么?

Talking about your weaknesses tests a unique skill: It investigates your ability to present a drawback as an advantage. Thus, the theme of this episode is “be positive”, and that’s the main point that we’ll be focusing on.

談?wù)撊觞c(diǎn)檢驗(yàn)一項(xiàng)特殊的技巧：它涉及到將弱點(diǎn)展示優(yōu)點(diǎn)的能力。這節(jié)課的主題就是“要肯定”，那也是我們將要討論的要點(diǎn)。
