第四篇:職場英語[最終版]
接聽電話篇
1.ABC corporation.May I help you?
ABC 公司, 我能幫你什么嗎?
這句話算是制式的講法.一般接起電話的人通常會先報公司的名字 “ABC corporation”, 然后再說, “May I help you?” 或是如果要更客氣一點的話則可以說 “How can I help you?”(我該怎么幫你?), 因為這樣的問法表示我‘該'怎么幫你, 而非我‘需不需要'幫你? 但基本上 “May I help you?” 跟 “How can I help you?” 都很常見就是了.不過如果是機器接的電話, 則聽到的多半是這樣, “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.”(感謝你打電話到 ABC 來, 如果你知道你要找的人的姓或是分機號碼, 請按 1, 如果是想要本公司的簡介或出版品, 請按 2, 如果是要找總機, 請按 #, 或是請別掛斷.2.And you are?
你是?
如果人家打電話來是要找你的上司, “May I talk to your manager?”(我能不能跟你們經理講話?)這時你總不能糊里糊涂地就把電話拿給經理說, 說不定人家是打電話來跟你經理勒索一百萬的呢!所以通常我們一定要先確定打電話來的是誰.最客氣的問法是, “Whom I am speaking with?” 或是 “Whom am I talking to?”(我正在跟誰講話呢?)但是人家一聽是像我這種小毛頭打電話找他們經理, 他們就會用比較口語的說法, “And you are?”(你是?)如果人家這樣問我, 我就可以答, “This is Benlin.”
像是 “And you are?” 這么口語的英文書上大概學不到, 但這卻是老美天天在用的句子, 只怕你學了之后還不敢用.其實真的不用怕.越簡單的句子老美越聽得懂.而且事實上 “And you are?” 這句話還有許多適用的場合, 例如在公司的接待處(reception).來訪的客人如果說, “I'm looking for Mr.Wolf.”(我要找伍夫先生)接待小姐就可以反問他, “And you are?”(你是?)所以像這種簡單又好用的句子大家一定要記起來喔!
3.I'll put her on the phone.Just a second.我會請她聽電話, 請等一下。
Put someone on the phone 這個片語就是說請某人聽電話.例如你打電話找你女朋友, 結果女朋友的同事接了電話, 就開始跟你東扯西扯, 問你們昨天是不是吵架了啊? 什么時候要結婚啦, 這時如果你實在不想跟她講了, 就可以說, “Could you please just put her on the phone?”(你能不能請她來聽電話啊?)反過來如果今天是你接到了電話, 結果要找的是別人, 你就可以說, “Ok.I'll put her on the phone.Just a second.”(好, 我會請她聽電話, 請稍等一下.)
上面講的 put someone on the phone, 指的多半是只有一只電話時, 但如果像公司里有許多分機, 則用‘轉接' transfer 或是 redirect.會比較恰當.例如同樣的情況你可以說, “I'm transferring your call.” 或是 “I'm redirecting your call.”(我幫你轉接到分機給她.)如果是接線生轉接的話, 他們有時就只簡單地說, “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鐘啊?
在美國如果有機會打電話給客戶服務(Customer Service)部門, 如果沒意外的話都會聽到以下的電話錄音, “All of our representitives are currently busy serving their customers.Your call will be answered in approximate 5 minutes”(我們所有的客服人員都在忙著服務他們的顧客, 請等五分鐘后, 就會有人接聽你的電話), 然后十分鐘過去了, “Please continue to hold, your call is very important to us.”(請繼續等候, 你的來電對我們非常重要).所以大家要知道, 老美基本上對這種無止境的等待是深惡痛絕的.所以要記得, 如果人家打電話來, 千萬不要因為聽不懂就說, “Hold on”, 然后就跑去求救兵, 這對打電話來的人是十分不禮貌的.如果萬不得已一定要請他稍候, 我們要客氣一點地說, “Would you mind holding for one minute?” 所以記得要給對方一個明確的時間, 例如 one second 或是 five minites 不要讓對方無止境地等下去.但是如果一分鐘到了你還沒忙完, 則最好再說一次, “Sorry, I am still on the phone.Could you hold for another minute?”(對不起, 我還在講電話, 能不能再請你稍候一分鐘.)
5.He's out for lunch.Would you like to try again an hour later?
他出去吃午餐了, 你要不要一小時后再打來?
受到中文的影響, 許多人要講某人‘出去'吃午餐了常會說成, “He went out for lunch.” 其實這個 went 是多余的, 通常老美只講 be out for something 就行了.如果要再簡化一點, 單說, “He is on lunch.” 或是 “He is on(lunch)break.”(他正在休息時間.)這樣子也可以.如果別人要找的人不在, 通常我們有二種選擇, 第一種是請別人晚點再打來, 除了像例句用 try again/ call again 之外, 我們也可以用 call back/ try back 這樣的講法.例如你可以建議別人, “Why don't you call back in 30 minutes?”(你何不 30 分鐘后再打來呢?)第二種選擇就是請對方留言, 客氣一點的講法是, “May I take your message?” 或是 “Would you like to leave a message?”(你想留言嗎?)

第五篇:職場英語面試
職場英語:怎樣回答英語面試中突如其來的“怪”問題
How would you respond if you were asked one of the following interview questions:
如果別人問你以下問題你該如何回答:
“If aliens landed here right now, what would you do?”
“如果此刻有外星人在此登陸,你會怎么做?”
“What did you want to be when you were 8 years old?”
“8歲的時候你想當什么?”
“What would your refrigerator say if it could talk?”
“如果你的冰箱可以說話,它會說什么?”
These types of odd questions are called “wild cards” because they seem to come out of nowhere.With the current economic climate allowing employers to be more picky, these types of questions are becoming more common.A stellar resume, impressive credentials, and strong interviewing skills are no longer enough.之所以稱這些古怪的問題為“外卡”,是因為看起來它們好像無章可循。如今的經濟形勢也讓雇主們越來越吹毛求疵,這些問題也更加普遍了。所以在面試中,僅僅有精美的簡歷,令人印象深刻的職業證書,以及精湛的面試技巧是遠遠不夠的。
While a rare interviewer may ask these questions simply to watch you squirm, many wild-card questions serve a purpose.Generally speaking, interviewers ask these questions to see how well you perform under pressure and think on your feet.They also might ask wild cards to break out of the routine of a typical interview in order to get a glimpse of your genuine personality.很少有面試官問這些問題僅僅是想讓你尷尬,但是很多不可預知的問題都是為了特定的目的才問的。通常來說,面試官會問你三個這樣的問題,來測試你在壓力下表現如何,以及你的突破性思維。面試官問你這些突破常規性面試的問題也可能是想看看你真實的本性。
Here are some real questions as reported by job seekers, with some insight into what interviewers may be looking for--and how to deliver:
以下列出了一些求職者反應的問題,并附有一些見解,講解了面試官的目的,以及你該如何應對這些問題:
“If there was a fire in your house, what two things would you save?”
“如果你家著火了,你最想搶救的兩樣物品是什么?”
What's the point? The interviewer is trying to determine how well your ideals and principles match the company's values.這個問題的重點是什么?雇主想了解你的利益觀和原則是否符合公司的利益觀。
Approach: Find an honest answer that aligns you with the values of the company with which you are interviewing.應對措施:找出與你所面試的公司價值觀最相符合的也是最真誠的答案。
Possible response: If you're applying for a job as a technical project manager, for example, you might say: “My computer and my family photo album.” This shows your obvious technical side but also demonstrates that you prioritize relationships.This could help distinguish you from your fellow techie competitors.答案之一:如果你正在應聘一個技術項目經理的職位,你可以這樣回答“我的電腦和家庭相冊”。這樣的答案顯示出你很明顯的重視技術,同時也表示你也重視家庭關系。這樣的回答可以讓你在其他求職者中間脫穎而出。
“If you were a cereal, what would you be?”
“如果你是谷物,你選擇做那種哪種?”
What's the point? The interviewer is trying to gain some insight into your work personality to see what kind of worker you will be.If you are unsure of what your work personality is, you can take a career interest test to find out.這個問題的重點是什么?雇主想通過這個問題了解你的工作個性,以確定你適合的職位。如果你不確定你的工作個性是什么,你可以通過做職業興趣測試來定位。
Approach: Try to tie your answer back to the job requirements.應對措施:按照工作要求去回答問題。
Possible response: If you were interviewing for a nursing assistant, position, you could say: “Cheerios.Because I'm reliable, consistent, and good for you!”--all positive qualities for someone in the health-care industry.答案之一:如果你正在應聘護理員的職位,你可以這樣回答“Cheerios。因為我堅定,可靠,對人親切。”在醫療行業中所有積極的品質都可以用來回答。
“If you were writing an autobiography, what would its title be?”
“如果你正在寫自傳,你打算用什么標題?”
What's the point? This question gives the interviewer a peek into your self-perception as well as a read on how creative you are.這個問題的重點是什么?這個問題可以讓雇主了解你的自我了解以及你的創新能力。
Approach: Emphasize your main selling points.If you can't come up with something original on the fly, perhaps there is a song or movie title that captures your essence.You don't need to invent something on the spot as long as you can provide a good explanation for the title you choose.應對措施:將重點放在你主要的賣點上。如果你不能即興發揮,那就引用一首歌名或一部電影的名字吧。只要你能很好的解釋你引用的標題,你就大可不必去苦思冥想用什么標題。
Possible response: If you were applying for a job as a social worker, you could say “I Will Survive,” explaining that the hardships you personally experienced made you a stronger person, qualified to help others to work through their own issues.答案之一:如果你應聘的是社工,你可以說“我會生存下去”然后解釋你所經歷的那些磨難,以及正是這些經歷讓你成了生活的強者,而現在你可以很好的幫助別人解決他們碰到的問題。
It's impossible to rehearse the best responses to wild-card interview questions, since, by definition, they are unpredictable.But you can prep.Even if you don't get asked the specific questions you've practiced for, you'll still have a better handle on wild cards in general.If you answer honestly and justify your response, you'll likely impress your interviewers and be one step closer to landing your dream job.你似乎不能預先排練面試中這些未知問題的答案,因為它們是不可預知的。但是實際上你是可以預先準備的。即使你沒用被問到你提前預演過的問題,在碰到其他未知問題時你仍然可以很好的處理。如果你真誠的回答這些問題,并且闡述你的答案,你就會給雇主留下深刻的印象,這樣你就來離你的夢想工作更近了一步。
