B: Sit down, please, Miss Fang. I’m Adolf from Personnel.
B:請坐,方小姐。我是人事部的阿道夫。
A: How do you do?
A:您好。
B: When you came, did you happen to notice all the building work going on?
B:來這兒的路上，你是不是剛好看到正在 進行的建筑施工?
A: Yes, I did.
A:對，我正好看到了。
B: Well, that’s the new office extension for testing product quality. Ifll be ready for use within this week, so that’s where you，d be working.
B:嗯,那是新擴建的檢驗產品質量的辦公 地點。本周內就可完工使用，所以那就是你今后辦公的地方。
A: Yes, I did read about It in the prospectus you sent me about the section.
A:是的，在你們寄給我的質檢科規劃書中 我讀到過。
B: Now, I’d like to ask you some questions about your previous experience, if that’s all right?
B:好吧,如果可以的話，我想就你以前的經 歷提幾個問題,可以嗎? .
A: Go right ahead.
A:您請問。
B: Have you had any jobs before?
B:你以前干過哪些工作?
A: I became a weaver in a textile mill when I was 18, right after my graduation from a local senior high school. I worked very hard and concentrated my attention on reducing product cost and solving technical problems like broken ends.
A: 18歲時我成了一家紡織廠的織工,那時 我剛從本地一所高中畢業。我工作十分 努力，而且潛心鉆研降低成本和解決斷 頭之類的技術難題。
B: What did all your efforts turn out to be?
B:你的這番努力結果如何呢?
A: Successful. So one years ago I was sent by the mill to a textile university in South China for further study.
A:很成功。因而1年前我被工廠送到南方 的一所紡織大學去深造。
B: What was your speciality?
B:你學什么專業?
A: Dress designing. I studied there for two years. I got straight As in all of the compulsory courses and easily passed such selective courses as Business Administration, Computing and Public Relations.
A:服裝設計。我在那兒學了兩年。我所有 的必修課成績都是優秀，而且我輕松地 通過了像企業管理、計算機和公共關系 這樣的選修課。
B: What did you do then?
B:那你以后干過什么?
A: I returned to the mill in the hope of developing my abilities. But soon I found it on the verge of bankruptcy due to a weak management.
A:我回到工廠,希望發揮所長。但沒多久 我就發現，由于管理不善,工廠已處在破 產的邊緣。
B: Did you ever make any suggestions to your management?
B：你曾給管理部門提過建議嗎?
A: Yes, I did. But nobody listened. The mill closed down at the beginning of this year, and I became a laid-off employee like everybody else.
A:是的,我提過,可是沒人聽。工廠在今年 年初倒閉，而我和其他所有的人一樣成 了失業人員。
B: It wasn’t the only job you had, was it?
B：那不是你干過的一份工作,是吧?
A: No. I got a job in an international chain store later, only to earn some money to see me through difficulty. I was in the clothes section.
A:不是的。后來我在一家國際連鎖店找了 份工作，只是想掙點錢，好讓我渡過難 關。我在服裝部。
B: OK. Miss fang. As you know, everybody likes to criticize. What do people criticize about you?
B:好。方小姐，你也知道,每個人都喜歡吹 毛求疵。大家怎么評論你呢?
A: Well, some people have complained to me that I often expect them to perform beyond their abilities. To some others, I also have another weak point. I like to see a job done quickly, and I’m critical if it isn’t. But these people all admit that I have the ability to take charge in emergencies.
A:哦,有些人向我抱怨過,說我常常在能力 方面對他們期望過高。對另外一部分 人，我還有一個缺點。我喜歡看到工作 能得到迅速處理,不然的話，我就會變得 苛刻起來。但是這些人都承認我有處理 緊急事務的能力。
B: Another question, Miss Fang. You see, in our company English is the working language. From this talk, I know your spoken English is good enough for you to communicate with your foreign colleagues. Can you write good English as well?
B:方小姐，還有一個問題。你明白，在我們 公司，英語是工作語言。從談話來看，我 清楚你的英語口語足以使你同外國同事 交流思想。你能寫出同樣好的英語嗎?
A: I’m sure I can. I started to learn English at the age of seven, and I’ve never stopped my English study. In fact, English was also one of the university compulsory courses I studied. By the way, I have the habit of keeping a diary, half in Chinese, half in English.
A:我肯定能行。我7歲就開始學英語了, 而且此后我從未間斷學習英語。實際 上,英語也是我大學時的一門必修課。 順便提一下，我有寫日記的習慣,一半用 漢語寫，一半用英語寫。
B: Oh? lt must be a lot of fun. Well, according to your resume, you are 25 years old and unmarried, aren’t you?
B:噢?那一定很有趣吧。哦，據你的履歷 來看,你是25歲，未婚,對不對?

A:對,我上星期剛滿25歲。
B: Well, I believe it’s a personal question, but can you tell me If you will get married and have a baby in the near future?

B: What’s your salary expectation here?
B:你希望在此拿多少工資?
A: Why don’t we discuss it after you decide if I’m fit for the position?
A:是不是等您確定我是合適的人選后，我 們再來討論這個問題呢?
