职场攻略:临阵磨枪英语面试口语突击法
英语口语是卡在外企求职路上的一道门槛,是难过的关也是必过的关。不少操着一口蹩脚英语的毕业生在此关纷纷落马。在外企面试中,碰到外国人当然要通过英语来交流,但是更应注意的是,华人面试考官用英语提问题也很常见。
提高英语水平和口语表达能力要求日积月累地下工夫,这话对低年级的同学说还来得及,毕竟还有努力的时间。但碰到临近面试这种紧要关头,惟一需要的是找到一种短期内能快速提高口语水平的方法,以解燃眉之急。
社会上不少著名的口语大师,都宣称能在短期提高口语能力,各种口语培训班也如雨后春笋般层出不穷。但是临近面试,有些同学无法把时间和精力大量投入到这种系统化的学习中。
这里要告诉大家,在面试繁忙的阶段,采用快速有效的口语训练方法是非常时期的非常对策,也可以说是权宜之计。如果有时间,最好还是按照常规的方法进行扎实的口语学习和训练。种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆。
1、口语速成训练法
毕业生大都忙着找工作,不可能像以前一样拿起英语书来学习。长时间不碰英语,突然间要用时,一些词语和表达方法感觉就在嘴边却怎么也想不起来,令人心焦。对于想临时抱抱佛脚的人,建议在临近面试的几个星期内,每隔一天(如有条件,最好是每天)拿一份《中国日报》,找一篇熟悉单词最多的文章到没有人的地方大声朗诵20分钟左右。这么做有几个好处:(1)有助于回忆起部分已经学过的单词和语句,打开自己已经落了尘的记忆库。(2)在自己朗诵的同时,顺便也练习了听力,使自己置身于英语环境中。(3)增强语感。单个的词是单词,连成一段段语句就是文章了,一些语言习惯也包含在其中。多读熟读文章,关键时刻才有可能运用自如。
2、切忌偷工减料
有的北大清华学生在接受应聘外企的辅导后,就采用过这种口语速成训练法,绝大部分学生反映不错,认为很有效果。方法本身很简单,但是坚持下来却很难。有的人听的时候很明白,实际运用起来却偷工减料。让他朗读20分钟他只读5分钟;让大声朗诵却嘤嘤细语,宛若蚊蝇;说是每隔一天做一次的功课,实际上却是一个星期才想起来一回,草草了事。这样做的结果是根本就达不到训练的效果。
除此以外,你不妨在平时和几个同学结成英语会话伙伴,针对求职常用语以及日常交流话题进行练习,互相提提问题,达到彼此促进的效果。选择口语练习小组成员也很有学问。一是要找水平比较接近的,以免“贫富不均”难以持续,人数以4—5人为宜,每次活动不用所有人都到齐,有两个人就成。可以利用吃饭的时间,这时候说话的氛围较轻松。二是要男女搭配,这样会话不累,且会话题材也会更广些。如果全是男生或全是女生,平常那点儿分享的信息早就用中文沟通无数遍了。如果有人不好意思或是觉得没有充分理由邀请异性同学入伙,就说是这本书里建议的。
另外,对于社会上常见的口语训练方法,比如听磁带、背对话等,就不一一列举了。如果时间允许,当然是越早准备、花的时间越多越好。
职场英语:庆功宴致辞 Banquet Speech AAA公司终于与BBB公司签订了合约,成为生意伙伴。这对后者来说,尤其值得庆贺,因此举办了一个庆功宴,招待来访的Mckenzie和Lloyd。BBB身为东道主公司当然要向AAA的代表们表达感谢,因此Jennifer又上台了。
May I have your attention, please.I'd like to take a moment to offer my sincere thanks to Bob Mckenzie and Andrea Lloyd of AAA Suppliers.As you know, AAA and BBB have inked an agreement to distribute five major BBB brands in Canada.This joint venture is cause to celebrate because it marks BBB's entry into the Canadian appliance market.We couldn't have asked for a better business partner.With BBB's groundbreaking appliances and AAA's well-established distribution network, we can both stay one step ahead of the competition.I think I speak for all my fellow employees when I say that we at BBB are delighted to be working with an industry leader like AAA.I anticipate nothing but growth for our companies over the next few years.请各位注意,我想占用各位一点时间来向AAA家用电器公司的Bob Mckenzie和Andrea Lloyd表达我诚挚的感谢。
如各位所知,AAA和BBB双方已签订合约。AAA将在加拿大经销本公司的五种主要产品。这次合作之所以值得庆祝,是因为从现在开始,我们即将进入加拿大的家用电器市场。
我们不可能再找到一个更好的事业伙伴了。以BBB不断创新的产品,加上AAA健全的配销网络,我们两家公司将能因此领先竞争对手。
我谨代表BBB公司的全体同仁向AAA公司致意,能与贵公司这样的业界翘楚合作,我们都感到非常高兴。我深信我们两家公司在未来几年一定能够不断成长。短语解说
joint venture 共同投资;合资
这个词组是指两个以上的人或公司合作,共同投资某种事业。“Joint”解释为“联合的、共同的”;“venture”原有“冒险”的意思,而投资本来就有风险,盈亏不定,称之为“venture”,可谓传神。
A joint venture with a European company would be the best way to enter the European market.与欧洲公司合资经营是进入欧洲市场的最佳途径。
couldn't have asked for(对……)不能多求
这是个口语说法,表示某个人或某件事已经很好,说话者不能再多作要求了。请注意这里要用过去式的说法。
I couldn't have asked for a better employee.Richard can do everything我不可能再找到一个更好的员工了,Richard什么事都会做!
distribution network 配销网络;销售网
这是个行销学上的名词。“Distribution” 分销;在这种制度下,产品必须通过中间商,而非直接由制造者销售到消费者手中。“Distribution
network”则指由各地零售商组织起来,所形成的一个销售网络、群体。
To enter the US market, we need a company with an extensive distribution network.我们需要一个拥有广大销售网的经销商帮我们打进美国市场。
one step ahead 领先
此为俚语用法,直译为“在……前面一步”,引申为“比别人(尤指竞争者)更好”的意思。“Ahead”,“在前方;领先”的意思。
To stay one step ahead of the Japanese computer giants, Taiwan companies consistently research new methods and designs.为了领先日本计算机界的大公司,台湾计算机公司不断地研究新的制造方法和设计。
industry leader 业界领导者!社会上的各行各业都可以称为一种“industry”,如“service industry”(服务业),并不是特指“工业”。因此,凡是在某个行业中居领导地位的公司皆可称为该行中的“industry leader”。
AT&T, an industry leader in American telecommunications, is rapidly expanding into Europe.美国通讯业的领导者 AT&T,正迅速地扩展至欧洲市场句型总结
●
向主客致意
1.I'd like to take a moment to offer my sincere thanks to Bob Mckenzie of Standard Suppliers.2.Allow me to take a moment to express my sincere thanks to Bob Mckenzie of Standard Suppliers.3.I'd like to take this time to say thank you to Bob Mckenzie of Standard Suppliers.以感谢对方做为演说的开始,这是一种技巧。“I'd like to…”是个很有礼的说法。“Take a moment”表示“占用极短的时间”。“Sincere”则强调“真诚”。这三处用字合力烘托出了你的礼貌与诚挚。
●
庆祝的原由
1.As you know, Standard and Action have inked an agreement to distribute five major Action brands in Canada.2.You may already know Standard and Action have inked an agreement to distribute five major Action products in Canada.3.As you are well aware, Standard Suppliers has agreed to distribute five major Action products in Canada.重申庆功宴的原因是不可避免的。由于这是一件听众都已经知道的事,因此句首应加上“As you know”,“You may already know”这样的说法。
●
赞扬对方
1.We couldn't have asked for a better business partner.2.We are very fortunate to be in partnership with Standard Suppliers.3.It's our great fortune to work with Standard Suppliers.在这类场合中,对合伙企业表示赞美与尊重是理所当然的。最好用一句话同时强调这一次的合作关系和称赞对方。
●
代全体致谢
1.I think I speak for all my fellow employees when I say that we at Action are delighted to be working with an industry leader like Standard.2.I believe my feelings are shared by all of us at Action when I say we are delighted to be working with Standard Suppliers.3.Let me express a feeling that is shared by all of us at Action;we are delighted to be working with Standard Suppliers.以个人及全公司对此次签约成功的兴奋之情作为谈话的结语再恰当不过。结构分析
庆功宴上应该表达对此番生意合作的感想与期望,其内容大要如下:
1.以客为主: 将席上全体的注意力转移到刚同意合作的对方代表身上。
2.庆祝原由: 简要说明庆祝的原由。
3.称赞客户: 赞扬对方公司的信誉,成就等。
4.乐观做结:代表公司全体同仁表示感谢,并以乐观的期望做结.

第三篇:职场英语[最终版]
接听电话篇
1.ABC corporation.May I help you?
ABC 公司, 我能帮你什么吗?
这句话算是制式的讲法.一般接起电话的人通常会先报公司的名字 “ABC corporation”, 然后再说, “May I help you?” 或是如果要更客气一点的话则可以说 “How can I help you?”(我该怎么帮你?), 因为这样的问法表示我‘该'怎么帮你, 而非我‘需不需要'帮你? 但基本上 “May I help you?” 跟 “How can I help you?” 都很常见就是了.不过如果是机器接的电话, 则听到的多半是这样, “Thanks for calling ABC corporation, if you know your party's last name or extention, press 1.If you want to recieve information or publication, press 2.If you want to talk to the operator, press pound sign or remain on the line.”(感谢你打电话到 ABC 来, 如果你知道你要找的人的姓或是分机号码, 请按 1, 如果是想要本公司的简介或出版品, 请按 2, 如果是要找总机, 请按 #, 或是请别挂断.2.And you are?
你是?
如果人家打电话来是要找你的上司, “May I talk to your manager?”(我能不能跟你们经理讲话?)这时你总不能糊里糊涂地就把电话拿给经理说, 说不定人家是打电话来跟你经理勒索一百万的呢!所以通常我们一定要先确定打电话来的是谁.最客气的问法是, “Whom I am speaking with?” 或是 “Whom am I talking to?”(我正在跟谁讲话呢?)但是人家一听是像我这种小毛头打电话找他们经理, 他们就会用比较口语的说法, “And you are?”(你是?)如果人家这样问我, 我就可以答, “This is Benlin.”
像是 “And you are?” 这么口语的英文书上大概学不到, 但这却是老美天天在用的句子, 只怕你学了之后还不敢用.其实真的不用怕.越简单的句子老美越听得懂.而且事实上 “And you are?” 这句话还有许多适用的场合, 例如在公司的接待处(reception).来访的客人如果说, “I'm looking for Mr.Wolf.”(我要找伍夫先生)接待小姐就可以反问他, “And you are?”(你是?)所以像这种简单又好用的句子大家一定要记起来喔!
3.I'll put her on the phone.Just a second.我会请她听电话, 请等一下。
Put someone on the phone 这个片语就是说请某人听电话.例如你打电话找你女朋友, 结果女朋友的同事接了电话, 就开始跟你东扯西扯, 问你们昨天是不是吵架了啊? 什么时候要结婚啦, 这时如果你实在不想跟她讲了, 就可以说, “Could you please just put her on the phone?”(你能不能请她来听电话啊?)反过来如果今天是你接到了电话, 结果要找的是别人, 你就可以说, “Ok.I'll put her on the phone.Just a second.”(好, 我会请她听电话, 请稍等一下.)
上面讲的 put someone on the phone, 指的多半是只有一只电话时, 但如果像公司里有许多分机, 则用‘转接' transfer 或是 redirect.会比较恰当.例如同样的情况你可以说, “I'm transferring your call.” 或是 “I'm redirecting your call.”(我帮你转接到分机给她.)如果是接线生转接的话, 他们有时就只简单地说, “One moment, please.” 或是, “OK.I'll put you through.”
4.Would you mind holding for one minute?
你介不介意稍微等一分钟啊?
在美国如果有机会打电话给客户服务(Customer Service)部门, 如果没意外的话都会听到以下的电话录音, “All of our representitives are currently busy serving their customers.Your call will be answered in approximate 5 minutes”(我们所有的客服人员都在忙着服务他们的顾客, 请等五分钟后, 就会有人接听你的电话), 然后十分钟过去了, “Please continue to hold, your call is very important to us.”(请继续等候, 你的来电对我们非常重要).所以大家要知道, 老美基本上对这种无止境的等待是深恶痛绝的.所以要记得, 如果人家打电话来, 千万不要因为听不懂就说, “Hold on”, 然后就跑去求救兵, 这对打电话来的人是十分不礼貌的.如果万不得已一定要请他稍候, 我们要客气一点地说, “Would you mind holding for one minute?” 所以记得要给对方一个明确的时间, 例如 one second 或是 five minites 不要让对方无止境地等下去.但是如果一分钟到了你还没忙完, 则最好再说一次, “Sorry, I am still on the phone.Could you hold for another minute?”(对不起, 我还在讲电话, 能不能再请你稍候一分钟.)
5.He's out for lunch.Would you like to try again an hour later?
他出去吃午餐了, 你要不要一小时后再打来?
受到中文的影响, 许多人要讲某人‘出去'吃午餐了常会说成, “He went out for lunch.” 其实这个 went 是多余的, 通常老美只讲 be out for something 就行了.如果要再简化一点, 单说, “He is on lunch.” 或是 “He is on(lunch)break.”(他正在休息时间.)这样子也可以.如果别人要找的人不在, 通常我们有二种选择, 第一种是请别人晚点再打来, 除了像例句用 try again/ call again 之外, 我们也可以用 call back/ try back 这样的讲法.例如你可以建议别人, “Why don't you call back in 30 minutes?”(你何不 30 分钟后再打来呢?)第二种选择就是请对方留言, 客气一点的讲法是, “May I take your message?” 或是 “Would you like to leave a message?”(你想留言吗?)
