Dialogue

I: Tell me about yourself and your past experience.

I: 說(shuō)說(shuō)你自己和你過(guò)去的經(jīng)歷吧。

A: I have worked as an executive secretary for 5 years, first for trading companies, and now I am working for a trust company. I interact well with peers, clients, administrators and bosses. I thrive on challenge and work well in high-stress environments.

A: 我已經(jīng)做執(zhí)行秘書(shū)五年了，開(kāi)始是為一家貿(mào)易公司工作，現(xiàn)在是一家信托公司。我和同事、客戶、行政管理員以及老板相處得非常好。我能應(yīng)付挑戰(zhàn)，而且在高壓力環(huán)境中也能工作很出色。

I: How are your typing and shorthand skills?

I: 你的打字和速記能力如何？

A: I can type 100 Chinese words a minute and take dictation in English at 150 words a minute.

A: 我能一分鐘打100個(gè)漢字，英語(yǔ)速記一分鐘可達(dá)150個(gè)。

I: Can you operate computers skillfully?

I: 你能熟練操作計(jì)算機(jī)嗎？

A: Yes, I can. I have received some special training in computers. Besides I am good at operating common office machines, such as fax machines and duplicating machines.

A: 沒(méi)問(wèn)題，我接受過(guò)計(jì)算機(jī)方面的特殊培訓(xùn)，而且我還能熟練操作一般的辦公設(shè)備，比如傳真機(jī)和復(fù)印機(jī)。

I: Sometimes we are very busy and need to work overtime. How do you feel about that?

I: 有時(shí)候我們工作很忙，需要加班，你覺(jué)得如何？

A: That’s all right. But could you tell me how often and how many hours I should work overtime?

A: 沒(méi)關(guān)系，你能告訴我加班的頻率和時(shí)間長(zhǎng)度嗎？

I: It just depends. If we have important visiting delegations, you have to stay with us. It’s not unusual.

I: 這得看情況。如果我們有重要的訪問(wèn)代表團(tuán)，你必須留在我們身邊，這種情況很正常。

A: Mr. Smith, I’d like to ask you a question.

A: 史密斯先生，我想問(wèn)你一個(gè)問(wèn)題。

I: OK, please.

I: 好的，請(qǐng)問(wèn)吧。

A: What specific duties would I perform if I am hired?

A: 如果我被錄用，我的具體職責(zé)是什么？

I: Nothing different from a secretary’s common responsibilities. However, you know, our company is an international trade-oriented company, can you handle English papers and write English correspondence?

I: 和普通的秘書(shū)沒(méi)什么區(qū)別，但我們公司是面向國(guó)際貿(mào)易的，你能處理英文文件和寫(xiě)英文信件嗎？

A: Yes. I specialized in English secretary studies at college and that’s one of the main parts of my present job.

A: 可以，我大學(xué)時(shí)專門學(xué)過(guò)英語(yǔ)文秘的課程，而且這也是我目前工作中的主要部分之一。

I: What are your salary expectations?

I: 你期望多少薪水？

A: I really need more information about the job before we start to discuss salary. Maybe you could tell me what is budgeted for the position.

A: 在討論薪水前，我需要更多了解這份工作，或者你可以告訴我這個(gè)職位的預(yù)算報(bào)酬是多少。

I: The starting monthly salary would be ￥2,000, with rises after the half year according to your competence.

I: 起薪是每月2000元，半年后會(huì)根據(jù)你的表現(xiàn)增加薪水。

A: I think it’s acceptable and I really like the job. And when can I know the decision?

A: 我覺(jué)得可以接受，我真的喜歡這份工作。我什么時(shí)候能得知結(jié)果呢？

I: We’ll inform you of our final decision by early July. Do you have any other questions?

I: 我們會(huì)在7月初通知你我們的最終決定。你還有別的問(wèn)題嗎？
