原汁原味商务英语播客 第52课:谈论你的工作

 　　This is the first in a two-part Business English lesson on talking about your job and company.

　　这是2节商务播客中的第一节，会涉及到谈论工作和公司。

　　The way you talk about your job gives clues to what you’re like as an employee or colleague. So, it’s important to consider your audience. For example, if you’re talking to a recruiter¹ or future employer², you want to be brief, but still provide enough details to give an accurate³ description and make a good impression.

　　你谈论工作的方式表明你喜欢作什么样的员工或同事，所以，考虑听众是十分重要的，比如，如果你和招聘人员或是未来的老板谈话时，你需要简短。但是要提供足够的细节来进行准确的描述并给对方留下好印象。

　　In this lesson, we’ll talk about ways to explain the basic aspects of your job and give details about your duties. We’ll also cover ways to talk about any special projects you’ve worked on and how to discuss your job satisfaction.

　　在这节课中，我们来谈论解释工作基本信息和对工作职责进行详细描述的方法。也会学到如何谈论正在从事的特殊项目和讨论工作满意度。

　　We’ll be listening to Ronda, a recruiter, and Stella, an IT manager. Ronda is going to help Stella find a new IT position, but first she wants to get some more information about her current job. They are meeting over lunch at a restaurant.

　　我们会听到招聘人员Ronda和IT经理 Stella的谈话。Ronda将要帮助 Stella寻找新的IT职员，但首先她想了解关于目前工作的更多信息。他们将在饭店中吃午饭时会面。
