Chapter 1 询问结果
001
似是而非
David: Hello, is this ? Sunshine Company?
Jane: Yes, sir. May I help you?
David: I am calling to ask about the
interview result.
原来如此
David: Hello, is that ? Sunshine Company?
Jane: Yes, sir. May I help you?
David: I am calling to ask about the
interview result.
大卫:您好,阳光公司吗?
简:是的,先生。您有什么事吗?
大卫:我打电话来是想询问此次面试的结果。
误区解读
打电话时,如果是询问对方的身份,要用Is thatspeaking,而不用Are you或Is this。如果是表述说话人自己的身份,则要用This isspeaking,而不用I''m。

似是而非
Bill: Morning, sir. Do you have any
business?
Steven: I am an applicant for the job of
your company. I have been waiting for a whole week and I am eager to know the
interview result.
原来如此
Bill: Morning, sir. What can I do for you?
Steven: I am an applicant for the job of
your company. I have been waiting for a whole week and I am eager to know the
interview result.
比尔:早上好,先生。您有什么事吗?
史蒂文:我是你们公司的求职者,我已经等了整整一周,我急于知道面试的结果。
误区解读
此句明显是生硬地进行逐字翻译。在英语中,若要表达您有什么事吗?/我能为您做什么
吗?,可以说What can I do for you?Can I be of any help to you?或者CanMay
I help you?等。
学有所用
Linda: This is the Human Resources
Department. May I help you?
Steven: I had an interview with your
company two weeks ago. I hope you _____
tell me the interview result.
A. to B. can C. cannot D. must
琳达:这里是人力资源部。我能为你做什么吗?
史蒂文:两周前我参加了贵公司的面试,希望你能告诉我面试的结果。
答案:B
解析: hope后面可以接不定式结构或是that从句,但不可以用作hope sb to do,排除选项A;根据句意,所选词应表示肯定意义,排除选项C;而情态动词must意为一定,必须,与句意我希望有所冲突,所以排除选项D。
温馨提示
1 the Human Resources Department为固定表达,意为人力资源部,可以简写为HR;也可以用personnel department表达。
2 May I用于表示委婉的请求、询问、建议、邀请等。

似是而非
Jack: Excuse me, may I know about the
interview result?
Mary: Let me see. Oh, congratulation you! ?
You are accepted.
Jack: Thank you.
原来如此
Jack: Excuse me, may I know about the
interview result?
Mary: Let me see. Oh, congratulations! ?
You are accepted.
Jack: Thank you.
杰克:打扰了,能告诉我此次面试的结果吗?
玛丽:我看看。哦,祝贺你!你被录取了。
杰克:谢谢。
误区解读
表示祝贺你,通常用Congratulations.来简略表达,也可以用Congratulations on或是offergive one''s congratulations to sb来表达。如果用动词congratulate,则通
常用作congratulate sb on sth。
小试锋芒

interview result, I can do _____ about it.
我虽然很关心面试结果,但也毫无办法。

似是而非
Tom: I am sorry you''re not the one who
we''re finding.
Linda: May I know the reason?

position requires.
原来如此

we''re looking for.
Linda: May I know the reason?
Tom: You lack the leadership skills this
position requires.
汤姆:很抱歉,你不是我们想要寻找的那个人。
琳达:我可以知道原因吗?
汤姆:做这份工作需要一定的领导能力,你有所欠缺。
误区解读
词组look for与动词find都表示寻找,但look for强调找的动作,表示有目的地寻找,而find强调找的结果,多用于表示找到或是发现具体的人或事物。

艾丽丝:抱歉,最近我们正忙于一项即将到截止日期的工作,所以,还没有做出决定。
误区解读
