  When a Colleague Requests a Reference1
同事请你做推荐人
陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作。他在餐厅里找到美国同Amy 。
(Office ambience)
A: Hello Chen Hao. How are you?
C: 还行。不过,我有点事想征求一下你的意见。
A: What is it?
C: 你认识我们办公室的Sue2吗?
A: I've worked on a couple of projects with her. Why?
C: 我告诉你,你可得保密,Sue正在找工作。
A: Why is that a problem?
C: 她让我做她的推荐人。
A: That bothers you?
C: Sue工作不是很靠谱,推荐她,那不等于说瞎话嘛!
A: What did you say when she came to you?
C: 我没直接回答她。我说那份新工作听上去是个不错的机会,然后就假称要开会,逃掉了。
A: I have a couple of suggestions for you.
C: 太好了,你快告诉我。我今天一天都躲躲藏藏的,生怕遇到Sue。
A: Let's sit down over there.
两人坐下,边吃边聊。
C: Amy,你快说说,我该怎么办。
A: Sue must have some positive traits3 or she wouldn't be working here.
C: 优点肯定是有,不过我得仔细想想。
A: I suggest that you make a list of her strengths.
C: 可她的缺点要比优点多得多。
A: Try not to focus on her shortcomings, but list them out, too. You can call them areas where she needs to grow.
C: 需要改进的地方?那人家给我打电话,了解Sue的情况,我该怎么说呢?
A: You begin by saying that she is a good team player, but could benefit from the opportunity to work independently and grow professionally. That makes you honest.
C: 有道理,我就说她很容易相处,但是如果有一个独立工作,需要精湛技能的机会,将对她有帮助。可是Amy,我怎么才能不去提她的缺点呢?
A: Let the interviewer know that you have worked with Sue on a limited basis so you can only speak about your experience on the team.
C: 就说,跟Sue共事机会不多,有些情况没有发言权。Amy,我有个更简单的办法,要不我这段时间干脆不接电话了,留言也不回。
A: That's cowardly. Besides it will reflect poorly on you.
C: 要这么说,不回电子邮件也行不通了。
A: You have another choice. You can tell Sue that you aren't comfortable in giving references4 to her because you are afraid of saying the wrong thing.
C: 这样好。我就说自己英语不好,搞不好词不达意,再说错了话。
A: It is difficult when a colleague who is not a good worker asks you for a reference.
C: 你能在重复一遍,我都有哪些选择吗?
A: If you agree to be a reference, rehearse what you plan to say. Don't allow yourself to be drawn5 into areas where you are not comfortable.
