旅游業(yè)英語 Lesson 26:A Job Interview 尋工面試(2)
第二十六課: 尋工面試
Lesson 26: A Job Interview
我們正在學(xué)習(xí)的是第二十六講“尋工面試”。
接下來我們要學(xué)習(xí)新的對(duì)話內(nèi)容，我會(huì)將對(duì)話的內(nèi)容逐句譯成中文。
杰斯?。?你有什麼問題要問我嗎?
Justine: Now, is there anything you would like to ask me?
鮑勃： 有，我想問問是否有人知道利奧到底怎麼樣了?
Bob: Yes, I was wondering if anyone has heard what happened toLeo?
杰斯?。?鮑波，我的意思是你對(duì)這個(gè)職位是否有問題要問?
Justine: I mean questions relating to this position, Bob.
鮑勃： 哦，當(dāng)然有，，，啊，，我想問這個(gè)工作的上班時(shí)間是否可以靈活掌握?
Bob: Oh, of course. Um… Yes, I would like to know if the hours of duty are flexible.
杰斯?。?是的，這個(gè)職位是三個(gè)班次輪換，另外在忙的時(shí)候也要加班。
Justine: Yes, we have three shifts, and there is also overtime work available when we’re very busy.
鮑勃： 我知道了。
Bob: That’s good.
杰斯?。?鮑勃，我對(duì)你的資歷很感興趣，我們會(huì)在明天上午的時(shí)候電話通知你面試的結(jié)果。
Justine: I’m very impressed with your qualifications Bob. We’ll ring you and let you know the outcome tomorrow morning.
鮑勃： 謝謝您。再見。
Bob: Thank you. Goodbye.
杰斯丁： 再見。
Justine: See you later.
一般來說在面試結(jié)束之前考官都會(huì)給你一個(gè)提問的機(jī)會(huì)，你最好準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)相關(guān)的問題，這樣也可以表明你對(duì)這個(gè)工作職位真的有興趣。但是在這里我要特別提醒您的是切忌不要詢問薪水的數(shù)目。這個(gè)問題你可以在申請(qǐng)工作之前自己設(shè)法查清楚。通常來說你可以利用提問的機(jī)會(huì)問一些諸如工作時(shí)間，你將要和多少人一起共事這一類無傷大雅的問題。你注意到了嗎，鮑勃在提問時(shí)是以這樣的短語開始的：I was wondering …… I would like to know ……這兩個(gè)短語的意思都是：我想問問。。。。讓我們跟著老師一起來練習(xí)。
I was wondering if…
I was wondering if the hours are flexible.
I would like to know...
I would like to know if the hours are flexible.
現(xiàn)在讓我們?cè)俾犚槐檫@段對(duì)話的最后一部分。請(qǐng)?jiān)邗U勃的話之后重復(fù)他的句子。
Justine: Now, is there anything you would like to ask me?
Bob: Yes, I was wondering if anyone has heard what happened to Leo?
Justine: I mean questions relating to this position, Bob.
Bob: Oh, of course. Um… Yes, I would like to know if the hours of duty are flexible.
Justine: Yes, we have three shifts, and there is also overtime work available when we’re very busy.
Bob: That’s good.
Justine: I’m very impressed with your qualifications Bob. We’ll ring you and let you know the outcome tomorrow morning.
Bob: Thank you. Goodbye.
Justine: See you later.
第二十六課到這里就要結(jié)束了，現(xiàn)在讓我們把在第二十五課及第二十六課中學(xué)習(xí)的對(duì)話內(nèi)容完整地聽一遍。
Justine: Come in, Bob. I’m Justine Asker, the manager. You can call me Justine.
Bob: Pleased to meet you.
Justine: Sit down. Firstly, Bob, can I ask which job you are applying for?
Bob: I’m applying for the receptionist position.
Justine: I see that you have a Diploma in Hospitality. Have you done any front desk work before?
Bob: I have work experience in front desk. You have my supervisor’s report there. This will be my first paid position.
Justine: And why do you want to work at the Plaza Hotel?
Bob: Because it has a great reputation; not just for its service but as a good place to work.
Justine: I’m glad to hear it. Bob, what strengths do you think you would bring to the job?
Bob: Oh, ah. I am patient and I’ve been told I put clients at ease.
Justine: Uh huh. And what do you see as your weaknesses?
Bob: Do you mean, what am I not so good at?
Justine: Yes.
Bob: Well, I understand English much better than I speak it at the moment. But I study at home and I look forward to learning more on the job
Justine: Excellent. Now, Bob, I’m going to ask you a hypothetical question. Would you compromise your own safety for the comfort of your guests?
Bob: Do you mean, like the Legendary Leo, who jumped into shark infested waters to save a guest’s hat?
Justine: Something like that.
Bob : If I must.
Justine: I don’t think you would be expected to show that level of enthusiasm, Bob. Leo was an exceptional worker, but very impetuous.
Bob: In that case, I would make sure I know the health and safety
requirements associated with my position and follow hotel procedures.
Justine: Very good.
Justine: Now, is there anything you would like to ask me?
Bob: Yes, I was wondering if anyone has heard what happened to Leo?
Justine: I mean questions relating to this position, Bob.
Bob: Oh, of course. Um… Yes, I would like to know if the hours of duty are flexible.
Justine: Yes, we have three shifts, and there is also overtime work available when we’re very busy.
Bob: That’s good.
Justine: I’m very impressed with your qualifications Bob. We’ll ring you and let you know the outcome tomorrow morning.
Bob: Thank you. Goodbye.
Justine: See you later.
以上您聽到的就是“尋工面試”這段對(duì)話的全部?jī)?nèi)容。這個(gè)講座到這里也就全部結(jié)束了。我想告訴您的是鮑勃最終如愿以償?shù)氐玫搅怂暾?qǐng)的這份工作，利奧也在墨爾本留學(xué)期間找到了自己的終身伴侶。她的名字叫梅。梅是一個(gè)非常耐心和藹的人，巧合的是她和利奧都來自同一個(gè)城市，但卻是在墨爾本學(xué)習(xí)服務(wù)業(yè)課程學(xué)位時(shí)認(rèn)識(shí)并終成眷屬的。好了，我們言歸正傳，現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)您跟著英語老師一起練習(xí)下列英語的短語。
Follow procedures
Follow procedures
Follow procedures, sir!
Health and safety
Health and safety
Health and safety first!
Follow procedures
Follow procedures
Follow procedures, sir!
Health and safety
Health and safety
Health and safety first!
