职场秘籍English

海阔凭鱼跃，天高任鸟飞。知者不惑，仁者不忧，勇者不惧。白也诗无敌，飘然思不群。人逢喜事精神爽，月到中秋分外明。新松恨不高千尺，恶竹应须斩万竿。职场秘籍：初次见面互相认识常用语句
职场上的交往，很多时候，认识就比不认识强，怎样才算是认识了呢？大家可能首先想到互通姓名，今天的节目就是告诉大家如何礼貌的询问他人的姓名。
What name shall I say?
您怎么称呼？
May I have your name please?
能告诉我您的名字吗？
I’m sorry. I didn’t catch your name。
不好意思，我没记住你您的名字。(言下之意，请把名字再告诉我一遍。)
Are you Mr. White. Hi I’m Kiele from ABC Company. Let me introduce a friend of mine。
您是怀特先生吗？我是ABC公司的kiele，请允许我为您介绍我的一个朋友。
初次见面 如何用英文打招呼？
第一天到公司上班，You must be nervous。你的心情一定挺紧张。怎么才能给上级和同事留下a favorable impression(良好印象)呢？西装革履的你看起来很cool，但你还是没有十分的把握。我们先来听听某家外企公司的新成员Peter King如何得体地处理他工作中的第一天。
Peter: Good Morning. May I introduce myself? My name's Peter King and I'm new here。
Anna: Pleased to meet you. I'm Anna White, the assistant to the Personnel Manager. Welcome to our company。
你看，初次见面好比跳华尔兹，非常简单，就是三步曲：问候——介绍——对方回答。不过这首华尔兹在不同的场合，步伐也不相同。
在formal正式场合中， 要用：Good morning/afternoon或How do you do，同时要shaking hands“握握手”来显示你的sincerity诚意。当然不要忘了smile一下，因为微笑是消除隔阂、沟通心灵的最好方法。
而在informal非正式场合中，比如年轻人之间或平时的聚会中，我们就可以relax，放松一下，不单穿着随便，而且只需招手致意，问候语用简单的Hi, or Hello！就可以了。
另外，作为新人，应该主动与同事交往，所以要先作self introduction，除了May I introduce myself? My name's Peter King，你还可以说：Let me introduce myself. My name's Peter. 或者I'm Peter。
作完了自我介绍，Peter希望Susan能把他介绍给经理或其他人，听听他是怎么说的：
Peter: Could you introduce me to the Manager?
Susan: Of course. Mr. King... Mr. White, let me introduce you to Mr. Peter King, the new clerk in your department。
White: How do you do. I'm Alex White. We're going to be working together。
Peter: How do you do. I've been looking forward to meeting you, Mr. White。
原来他用了句型 Could you introduce me to sb.? 这显得很有礼貌。另外你还可

以这样说：
1、I haven't met your Managing Director yet. (我还没有见到你们的总裁。)
2、I don't know anyone here. You'll have to introduce me。
(这里的人我都不认识。您得给我作介绍。)
如果情况相反，需要你把某人介绍给其他人，下面的句子可以帮你这个忙：
1、Let me introduce you to our Managing Director。(请让我把您介绍给我们的总裁。
2、I'll introduce you to our Managing Director , this is Mr. Johnson, our MD。
(我会把你介绍给我们的总裁。这是约翰生先生，我们的总裁。)
最后，请问你知道在初次见面时哪句话是必不可少的吗？对了，是：Nice to meet you。(见到您很高兴。)每当对方报上姓名时，你要记得说这句话。
为了加深对方的印象，你可以加上你对对方的赞扬：I've heard a lot about you. (久闻大名) 。当然用Glad to meet you. 或Pleased to meet you. 来替代Nice to meet you。也可以。
得体的介绍和问候会给对方留下美好印象，但是你不能虎头蛇尾呀，告别也要无可挑剔。
常用的告别语有：
1、It was very nice to have met you.
2、It was nice meeting you.
3、Hope to see you again



职场秘籍：用市场化的标准打造自己
The economy is shaky -- and it may feel like your job is, too.


经济正在衰退——你的工作也可能正如此。


Whether you're already job hunting or believe you may need to soon, there are steps you can take to make yourself more attractive to potential employers. Here are eight tips from the experts on increasing your marketability:


不论你是否已经找到了工作，还是正打算找工作，你都可以采取一些措施，使自己更能吸引潜在的雇主。以下来自专家的8点建议，可让你提高自身市场。


1. Use your name as your brand, especially in email.
Don't confuse potential employers by using your maiden name on your resume and your married name in your email. And the nickname your friends find funny may not look professional.


将自己的名字作为商标，尤其是写邮件的时候。不要在简历中写结婚前的姓名，而在邮件中写结婚后的姓名，这样会让你的潜在雇主产生混淆。另外，你朋友为你取的昵称是非正式的，不适合用在找工作上面。


"Manager jobs don't go to people with cute email addresses," said Marianne Adoradio, a recruiter and career counselor.


Marianne Adoradio是一位职业顾问，同时也是猎头，他说：“经理的工作不需要可爱的邮件地址。”


2.Meet an employer's need.
Employers "want a round peg for the round hole," said Kathryn Ullrich, a career expert and executive recruiter.


满足雇主的需求。职业专家兼招聘主管Kathryn Ullrich说：“雇主需要的是为该职位找到最合适的人选。”

You may want to stretch yourself by trying a job you've never done before, but there's not much in that for the employer. Any time you apply for a job, make sure you can tell a story about your career that shows why you would be the best person for the job. "It's really about what the employer is looking for," Ullrich said.


你可能想找一份你从未涉足的工作来提升自己，但是雇主可不会这么想。不管什么时候，在你求职时，你都需要向你的雇主阐述你的职业经历以证明你是适合此职位的最佳人选。Ullrich说：“其实找工作就是满足雇主的需求。”


3. Maintain a smart online profile.
"All that stupid stuff you put on Facebook -- take it off," said Richard Phillips, owner of Advantage Career Solutions. At the same time, find industry blogs and forums and start contributing comments.


建立一份聪明的在线资料。“将你在Facebook上存放的那些愚蠢的东西都删掉吧。” Advantage Career Solutions的老板Richard Phillips建议说。同时，登录一些商业博客，论坛，上去发表你的高见。


4. Ask for help.
"Ask everyone for one thing they would suggest you do if they were in your shoes," Adoradio said. "It seems to reveal things that you wouldn't have thought to ask."


寻求帮助。Adoradio说：“问问别人如果在你的处境上会怎么做。这样你就能知道自己想不到的事情。”


5. Become active in a professional association.
This means doing more than paying dues and showing up for meetings. Find a way to help: For example, perhaps you can organize expert speakers in your field to be on a panel. It will boost your resume, build you self-esteem and give you valuable connections. "You're building up relationships with people who are going to hire you," Ullrich said.


积极参与专业协会。这就意味着，不再只是交交会费，出席一下会议。你要更积极的参与，例如，你可以将你协会的专家组织起来，成立一个专家小组。这样做会提高你的简历特色，增加你的自信，为你建立有价值的关系网。Ullrich说：“你正在与将来可能成为你上司的人建立友谊。”


6. Take a class or get a certificate.
This is especially helpful if it teaches you a skill -- new technology that's being used in your field, for example -- that you don't already have.


参加培训课程，获得一份证书。如果你能从中学到新的技能，而这些项技能是你原来所没有的，并可以运用到新的工作中的话就更好了。


7. Take on a new project at work.
It should be "something that lets you add something new to your resume," Phillips said. "Think in terms of the resume that you're going to be writing. What do you want to have on there that isn't on there now?"


在工作上开发一个新项目。“而这个新项目应该是你可以将其添加到你的简历上的，想想你要在简

历上写的工作经验，那些是原来没有而你想增加的条款呢？” Phillips建议说。


8. Be flexible.
You may not want to commute more than 10 miles, but being willing to bend a bit will open up more opportunities. It will also make you a more attractive candidate because it signals to employers that you're able to handle change.


灵活处事。你可能不想乘车上下班的路程超过10英里，但是找工作时，如果你愿意稍微屈服一点的话会给你带来更多的机会。这样会让你成为更有吸引力的候选人，因为，你的潜在雇主会因此认为你有能力妥善的处理好工作中的变动。


职场物语：一周中星期三成为最郁闷
Wednesday – not Monday – is the worst day of the week, according to research by two American applied mathematicians.


美国两位应用数学家研究发现，一周中最郁闷的一天是周三，而不是周一。


Professors Christopher Danforth and Peter Dodds, of Vermont University, analysed words used in 2.4 million internet blogs such as Twitter, giving a score out of nine depending on how positive they were.


佛蒙特大学的克里斯托弗？丹福思和彼得？多兹教授对在Twitter等网站上的240万篇博客中使用的词语进行了分析，并将其按照积极程度从1到9打分。


Words like free, fun, and rainbow all scored above eight, while words such as betray, cruel, hatred and suffocate all scored less than two.


自由、乐趣、彩虹等词语的得分都在8分以上，而背叛、残忍、仇恨和窒息等词语的得分都在2分以下。


Saturday and Sunday rated predictably well but, perhaps surprisingly, Monday came out as the second happiest day of the week, partly because people were still reminiscing about the weekend. However by Wednesday, these feelings had subsided.


不出所料，周六和周日得分很高；但可能让人意外的是，周一在一周的快乐排行榜中名列第二，这部分是因为人们还沉浸在周末的快乐之中。然而到了周三，这种情绪已渐渐消退。


Professor Danforth said: “People's daily experience is being reflected somewhat in what they're saying. And this is more of a story, we think, for Twitter messages, which we've just started to pay attention to, about a year ago.


丹福思教授说：“从某种程度上来说，人们每天的经历可反映在他们的谈话里。我们认为，对于Twitter上的那些信息来说，它们更像是一个故事。我们大约在一年前才开始关注这个问题。”


”They think they are communicating with friends, but since blogs are public we're just looking over their shoulders.


“他们觉得自己是在和朋友们交流，但因为博客是公开的，所以我们只是在‘窥探’。”


“The weekends tend to be fairly happy and Wednesday turned out to be the saddest day.”


“周末是一周中非常愉快

的两天，而周三则是一周中最郁闷的一天。”


He said using the internet in this way enabled them to rate happiness based on higher numbers of people than previous studies.


他表示，与之前的研究相比，利用网络进行研究可以让他们对更多的人展开调查。


“What we're attempting to do is measure collective happiness on a much larger scale, similar to measuring the temperature outside,” Professor Danforth said.


丹福思教授说：“我们想评定更大范围人群的集体快乐指数，就像测量室外温度一样。”


“The energy of a few molecules bouncing around doesn't give a good indication of heat, you need billions or more.”


”仅测定几个活跃分子的热量无法得出准确的温度，你需要数十亿个分子甚至更多。“

职场秘籍：给职场妈妈的小贴士
The first thing would be to stop feeling guilty about not being able to spend too much time with your kids. Remember, the quality time spent together is always more important than quantity time.


首先，不要因为不能经常陪在孩子身边而心生愧疚，要知道，最重要的不是你在孩子身边陪伴了多长时间，而是你们在一起的时候都做了什么。


Never ever resort to using money or gifts, as a compensation for your absence. It will not only spoil the children, but also make them lose the importance of money in life.


不能陪伴孩子的时候，永远不要用金钱或者礼物作为补偿。这不仅仅是溺爱不溺爱的问题，还会让孩子失去对金钱的重要性的认知。


Having a helping hand is always a good idea. However, make sure that the domestic help you are hiring is dependable.


请人帮忙也是个好方法，只是要确定你找来的人很可靠。


Learn the art of time management. They will go a long way in maintaining the balance between office and home.


学会时间管理的艺术，这对你平衡工作和家庭会大有帮助。


Find small little ways of connecting with your child, like call him/her daily from office, go for a little walk after dinner to discuss how was his/her day, and so on.


找到和孩子相处的小窍门，比如可以从办公室每天给孩子打个电话，或者晚饭后一起散散步，问问孩子这一天过的怎么样之类的。


Make it a point that ever week, you dedicate at least one day for your children. For instance, plan your Sunday in such a way that while in the morning you spend time with your family doing household chore, in the evening all of you move out for a family dinner or a family outing.


确保每周至少有一天是完全奉献给孩子的，比如，星期天的时候可以白天和家人一起做家务，晚上就全家人一起吃顿饭或者一起出门什么的。


Do not forget to spend some time on yourself. It is very important for you to be in a good shape, in order to fulfill your r

esponsibilities
.

别忘了给自己留点时间。对女人来说，保持一个良好的状态是很重要的，就算是为了家人幸福也得对自己好点儿。

超实用的办公室英语
1．You're in the pink!
要想说人气色好，"You look fine!"当然不错，可如果你说"You're in the pink!"就妙得多了。实际上，在英语口语中，巧妙使用一些表示颜色的词能使得句子非常形象生动。

2．He is bouncy.
要表达"他精力充沛"，美国人通常说"He is bouncy." 而不说"He is energetic"。牢记一些日常对话中的句式是你生活中一把必备的钥匙，如：久仰，"I get mind of you."比"I heard a lot about you."轻松得多。

3．Did you get lost?
有人开会迟到了，你若对他说"You are late."，听起来像是废话。若说"Did you get lost?"则更能让他感到歉疚，可千万别说成"Get lost!"，那可是让人滚蛋的意思。

4．Do you have the time?
别人征求你的意见，问能否开窗户等，你要是说"You can do that."就有点土了，用一句"Do you have the time?"就好多了。实际上，问他人的姓名、地址都可以这么用，"May I have your name?"要比"What's your name?"礼貌得多，不过警察例外。

5．I would rather not say.
别人问你不愿公开的问题，切勿用"It's my secret, don't ask such a personal question."回答，一来显得你没有个性，二来也让对方觉得你气短。你可以说"I would rather not say."(还是别说了吧)。

6．It's on the tip of my tongue.
有时候，你想说什么，可是想不起来，你可以说"Well…"、"Let me see."、"Just a moment."或"It's on the tip of my tongue."等。相比之下，最后一个句型是最地道的。

7. While I remember…
交谈时，你可能会转换话题，不要只说"By the way"，实际上，"To change the subject"、"Before I forget"、"While I remember"、"Mind you"都是既地道又受欢迎的表达。

8. I got it.
遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂，"I know"可能是被中国人用得最多，而最不被美国人接受的一句话。当一个美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍"I know"，我敢保证他不会再跟你说什么了。用"I got it."就顺耳得多，要是不懂就说"I'm not clear about it."。不过如果你会说"It's past my understanding."或"It's beyond me."，你的教师一定会惊讶不已的。

下面我们再来看几句在办公室经常会用到的句子：

9. The meeting was scheduled for two hours, but it is not over yet.
会议原定两个小时，不过现在还没有结束。

10. Would you care to see it/sit down for a while?
你要不要看/坐一会呢？

11. I'm supposed to go on a diet/get a raise.
我应该节食/涨工资。

12. I'm afraid that it's not going to work out.
我恐怕这事不会成的。

13. Do you mind if I take tomorrow off?
你介意我明天请假吗？

14. It really

depends on who is in charge.
那纯粹要看谁负责了。


两岸猿声啼不住，轻舟已过万重山。念天地之悠悠，独怆然而涕下。茕茕孑立，形影相吊。五岭逶迤腾细浪，乌蒙磅礴走泥丸。祸兮福之所倚，福兮祸之所伏。
