辦公室裏常用短句

推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 2.4W 次

很多人學英語都會有這樣的經歷:話到嘴邊卻怎麼也說不出來。來學一些妙句吧,解決你在辦公室的難題。接下來,小編給大家準備了辦公室裏常用短句,歡迎大家參考與借鑑。

辦公室裏常用短句

當別人在你旁邊羅嗦個沒完,你煩透了,說You are so boring1. (你真煩!),Shut2 up!(閉嘴!)自然沒錯,可人家受得了嗎?不如來一句:Oh, come on. Give me a break! (幫幫忙,讓我歇歇吧!)這多地道、多幽默。

要想說人“氣色好”,“You look fine!”當然不錯,可如果你說“You're in the pink!”就妙得多了。實際上,在英語口語中,表示顏色的詞用起來非常形象生動。

“他精力充沛”美國人說:He is bouncy. 而不說 He is energetic,牢記一些日常對話中的活句式是你一把必備的鑰匙。

比如:久仰,I get mind3 of you. 比 I heard a lot about you. 輕鬆得多。

代問他人好當然能用Please remember me to your sister. 或Please give my best wishes to your father. 不過,若是很好的朋友,何不說:Please give my love to .

在中國可不能隨便說“我想你”,然而,當和西方人分手時說I will miss you. 要比說Goodbye或See you soon. 深情得多,不妨一試。

有人開會遲到了,你若對他說You are late.,聽起來像是廢話,若說Did you get lost?,則更能讓他歉然,可別說成Get lost! 那可是讓人滾蛋的意思。

別人問你不願公開的問題,切勿用 It's my secret5 ,don't ask such6 a personal7 question . 回答,一來顯得你沒有個性,二來也讓對方尷尬。你可以說 I would8 rather9 not say.(還是別說了吧!)。

交談時,你可能會轉換話題,不要只說By the way,實際上,To change the subject,Before I forget,While I remember,Mind you 都是既地道又受歡迎的表達。

遇到你不懂的問題時可別不懂裝懂,I know可能是中國人用得最多、而美國人最不能接受的一句話。當一美國教師向你解釋某個問題時,你如果連說兩遍I know,我敢保證,他不會再跟你說什麼了。用 I see 或I got10 it 就順耳得多,要是不懂就說 I'm not clear11 about it. 不過如果你會說It's past my understanding12. 或It's beyond13 me. 你的教師定會驚訝不已的。

  擴展:工作經歷不可少

上次長長的祕笈你掌握了沒有?這裏還有一些。可不要嫌多,簡歷寫好了纔能有更大的把握找到滿意的工作。

1. What if your job title doesn't reflect your actual level of responsibility?

When you list it on the resume, either replace it with a more appropriate job title (say "Office Manager" instead of "Administrative1 Assistant" if that's more realistic) OR use their job title AND your fairer one together, i.e. "Administrative Assistant (Office Manager)"

2. How can you avoid age discrimination?

If you're over 40 or 50 or 60, remember that you don't have to present your entire work history! You can simply label THAT part of your resume "Recent Work History" or "Relevant Work History" and then describe only the last 10 or 15 years of your eperience. Below your 10-15 year work history, you could add a paragraph headed "Prior relevant eperience" and simply refer to any additional important (but ancient) jobs without mentioning dates.

3. What if you never had any "real" paid jobs -- just self-employment or odd jobs?

Give yourself credit, and create an accurate, fair job-title for yourself. For eample:

A&S Hauling & Cleaning (Self-employed) -- or

Household Repairman, Self-employed -- or

Child-Care, Self-employed

Be sure to add "Customer references available on request" and then be prepared to provide some very good references of people you worked for.

4. How far back should you go in your Work History?

Far enough; and not too far! About 10 or 15 years is usually enough - unless your "juiciest" work eperience is from farther back.

5. How can a Student list summer jobs?

Students can make their resume look neater by listing seasonal2 jobs very simply, such as "Spring 1996" or "Summer 1996" rather than 6/96 to 9/96. (The word "Spring" can be in very tiny letters, say 8-point in size.)

6. What if you don't quite have your degree or credentials3 yet?

You can say something like:

Eligible4 for U.S. credentials -- or

Graduate studies in Instructional Design, in progress -- or

Master's Degree anticipated December 1997

7. What if you worked for only one employer for 20 or 30 years?

Then list separately each different position you held there, so your job progression within the company is more obvious.

8. What about listing hobbies and interests?

Don't include hobbies on a resume unless the activity is somehow relevant to your job objective, or clearly reveals a characteristic that supports your job objective. For eample, a hobby of Sky Diving (adventure, courage) might seem relevant to some job objectives (Security Guard?) but not to others.

9. What about revealing race or religion?

Don't include ethnic5 or religious affiliations6 (inviting pre-interview discrimination) UNLESS you can see that including them will support your job objective. Get an opinion from a respected friend or colleague about when to reveal, and when to conceal7, your affiliations.

10. What if your name is Robin8 Williams?

Don't mystify the reader about your gender9; they'll go nuts until they know whether you're male or female. So if your name is Lee or Robin or Pat or anything else not clearly male or female, use a Mr. or Ms. prefi10.

11. What if you got your degree from a different country?

You can say "Degree equivalent to U.S. Bachelor's Degree in Economics-Teheran, Iran."

12. What about fancy-schmancy paper?

Employers tell me they HATE parchment paper and pretentious11 brochure-folded resume "presentations." They think they're phony, and toss them right out. Use plain white or ivory, in a quality appropriate for your job objective. Never use colored paper unless there's a very good reason for it (like, you're an artist) because if it gets photo-copied the results will be murky12.

13. Should you fold your resume?

Don't fold a laser-printed resume right along a line of tet. The "ink" could flake13 off along the fold.
