第二十五课: 寻工面试
Lesson 25: A Job Interview
要好好地准备一下功课吧。杰斯丁： 那你为什么要在广场酒店工作呢？
Justine: And why do you want to work at the Plaza Hotel?
鲍勃： 这是因为广场酒店的声誉极佳，不仅是因为它的服务水
准，同时它也是一个愉快的工作场所。
Bob: Because it has a great reputation… not just for its service,
but as a good place to work.
杰斯丁刚才所问的问题是招聘面试中出现频率非常高的一个问题。
雇主希望通过这个问题获知你到底对他的生意有多少了解。鲍勃对
这个问题的回答比较笼统，但是还可以接受。在你的实际生活中，
你可以根据自己的实际情况对这个问题做出更加详尽的回答。例
如，你可以列举这家酒店所吸引的顾客群体的情况等等。 

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 Plaza 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.

Bob: Do you mean, what am I not so good at?
杰斯丁： 是的。
Justine: Yes.
鲍勃： 嗯，目前来看我的英语理解能力比我的口语能力要好得
多。不过我仍然在家中自学，而且我希望这份工作也能
够给更多我学习的机会。

moment. But I study at home and I look forward to learning
more on the job.
