第二十六课: 寻工面试
Lesson 26: A Job Interview

各位听众朋友好，欢迎您收听“旅游业英语”讲座第二十六讲。我
是澳大利亚澳洲广播电台中文部的节目主持人马健媛。
在这一讲中我们要继续学习寻工面试时会遇到的一些语言问题以及
你在面试过程中可以向考官提出些什麽样的问题。在我们学习新的
课文之前先让我们一起来回顾一下上一课对话的内容。
Justine: Come in, Bob. I’m Justine Asker, the manager.
You can call me Justine.
Bob: Pleased to meet you.
Justine: Sit down. Firstly, Bob, can I ask which job you are applying for?
Bob: I’m applying for the receptionist position.
Justine: I see that you have a Diploma in Hospitality. Have you done any
front desk work before?
Bob: I have work experience in front desk. You have my supervisor’s
report there. This will be my first paid position.
Justine: And why do you want to work at the Plaza¹ Hotel?
Bob: Because it has a great reputation; not just for its service but as a
good place to work.
Justine: I’m glad to hear it.
Justine: Bob, what strengths do you think you would bring to the job?
Bob: Oh, ah. I am patient and I’ve been told I put clients at ease.
Justine: Uh huh. And what do you see as your weaknesses?
Bob: Do you mean, what am I not so good at?
Justine: Yes.
Bob: Well, I understand English much better than I speak it at the
moment. But I study at home and I look forward to learning
more on the job.
Justine: Excellent.
接下来让我们要学习新的对话内容，我会将这一部分的对话逐句译
成中文。
杰斯丁： 鲍勃，我现在想问你一个假设性的问题。你愿意为了客
人的缘故去冒险吗？
Justine: Now, Bob, I’m going to ask you a hypothetical question. Would
you compromise your own safety for the comfort of your guests?

鲍勃： 您是说就像勇敢的利奥那样为了捞起客人的帽子而跳入
鲨鱼出没的海里吗？
Bob: Do you mean, like the Legendary² Leo, who jumped into shark
infested³ waters to save a guest’s hat?
杰斯丁： 诸如此类吧。
Justine: Something like that.
鲍勃： 如果我必须这样做的话，我可以做到。。。
Bob: If I must.
杰斯丁： 我想没有人会要求你做到这种程度的，鲍勃。利奥实在
是一个与众不同的职员，但他的确太冲动了。
Justine: I don’t think you would be expected to show that level of
enthusiasm, Bob. Leo was an exceptional worker, but very
impetuous.
鲍勃： 我想我会确保自己熟知与我这个工作岗位有关的健康安
全条例并遵守酒店的相关程序。
Bob: In that case, I would make sure I know the health and safety
requirements associated with my position and follow hotel
procedures.
杰斯丁： 这非常好。
Justine: Very good.
在这段对话中杰斯丁向求职者问了一个hypothetical question,
假设性的问题。这也就是说求职者要回答一旦出现某种情况时他要
怎麽做。有些假设性的问题要比杰斯丁在这段对话中提出的问题更
加具体明确。鲍勃在回答这个问题时一开始就犯了一个错误，那就
是他首先猜测提问者想要什麽样的回答，然后再按照这样的思路去
回答问题。实际上提问者希望听到的回答在出现危机的情况时他必
须要小心谨慎。当然鲍勃最后还是给出了令人满意的回答。在这里
我要提醒您的是每一个工作岗位都有与其相关的守则，而每一个工
作单位中都有自己的内部安全条例和规则。一般来说在面试的时候
主考官并不要求你一定要熟知这些规章制度，你只要表明自己会在
拿到这份工作之后确保自己会熟悉并牢记这些规章，以处理可能出
现的情况就可以了。我们来听听鲍勃是怎麽说的。

鲍勃： 我想我会确保自己熟知与我这个工作岗位有关的健康安
全条例并遵守酒店的相关程序。
Bob: In that case, I would make sure I know the health and safety
requirements associated with my position and follow hotel
procedures.
现在让我们跟着老师一起来练习。请重复老师的话。
I would make sure.
I would make sure I know.
The health and safety requirements.
I would make sure I know the health and safety requirements.
I would follow.
I would follow hotel procedures.
我们现在完整地听一遍这部分对话，请在鲍勃的句子之后重复他的
话。
Justine: Now, Bob, I’m going to ask you a hypothetical
question. Would you compromise your own safety for the
comfort of your guests?
Bob: Do you mean, like the Legendary Leo…
Bob: … who jumped into shark infested waters…
Bob: … to save a guest’s hat?
Justine: Something like that.
Bob: If I must.
Justine: I don’t think you would be expected to show that level of
enthusiasm, Bob. Leo was an exceptional worker, but very
impetuous.
Bob: In that case,
Bob: I would make sure I know …
Bob: … the health and safety requirements…
Bob: … associated with my position
Bob: …and follow hotel procedures.
Justine: Very good.
各给听众朋友，您现在收听的是澳洲广播电台为您制作的“旅游业
英语”教学节目。
第二十六课: 寻工面试
Lesson 26: A Job Interview
我们正在学习的是第二十六讲“寻工面试”。

接下来我们要学习新的对话内容，我会将对话的内容逐句译成中
文。
杰斯丁： 你有什麽问题要问我吗？
Justine: Now, is there anything you would like to ask me?
鲍勃： 有，我想问问是否有人知道利奥到底怎麽样了？
Bob: Yes, I was wondering if anyone has heard what happened to
Leo?
杰斯丁： 鲍波，我的意思是你对这个职位是否有问题要问？
Justine: I mean questions relating to this position, Bob.
鲍勃： 哦，当然有，，，啊，，我想问这个工作的上班时间是
否可以灵活掌握？
Bob: Oh, of course. Um… Yes, I would like to know if the hours of
duty are flexible.
杰斯丁： 是的，这个职位是三个班次轮换，另外在忙的时候也要
加班。
Justine: Yes, we have three shifts, and there is also overtime⁴ work
available when we’re very busy.
鲍勃： 我知道了。
Bob: That’s good.
杰斯丁： 鲍勃，我对你的资历很感兴趣，我们会在明天上午的时
候电话通知你面试的结果。
Justine: I’m very impressed with your qualifications Bob. We’ll ring you
and let you know the outcome tomorrow morning.
鲍勃： 谢谢您。再见。
Bob: Thank you. Goodbye.
杰斯丁： 再见。
Justine: See you later.
一般来说在面试结束之前考官都会给你一个提问的机会，你最好准
备一个相关的问题，这样也可以表明你对这个工作职位真的有兴
趣。但是在这里我要特别提醒您的是切忌不要询问薪水的数目。这
个问题你可以在申请工作之前自己设法查清楚。通常来说你可以利

用提问的机会问一些诸如工作时间，你将要和多少人一起共事这一
类无伤大雅的问题。你注意到了吗，鲍勃在提问时是以这样的短语
开始的：I was wondering …… I would like to know ……这两
个短语的意思都是：我想问问。。。。让我们跟着老师一起来练
习。
I was wondering if…
I was wondering if the hours are flexible.
I would like to know...
I would like to know if the hours are flexible.
现在让我们再听一遍这段对话的最后一部分。请在鲍勃的话之后重
复他的句子。
Justine: Now, is there anything you would like to ask me?
Bob: Yes, I was wondering if anyone has heard what happened to
Leo?
Justine: I mean questions relating to this position, Bob.
Bob: Oh, of course. Um… Yes, I would like to know if the hours of
duty are flexible.
Justine: Yes, we have three shifts, and there is also overtime work
available when we’re very busy.
Bob: That’s good.
Justine: I’m very impressed with your qualifications Bob. We’ll ring you
and let you know the outcome tomorrow morning.
Bob: Thank you. Goodbye.
Justine: See you later.

他所申请的这份工作，利奥也在墨尔本留学期间找到了自己的终身
伴侣。她的名字叫梅。梅是一个非常耐心和蔼的人，巧合的是她和
利奥都来自同一个城市，但却是在墨尔本学习服务业课程学位时认
识并终成眷属的。好了，我们言归正传，现在请您跟着英语老师一
