不 知道大家有沒(méi)有注意到，在辦公區(qū)域、在社交場(chǎng)合、在面試過(guò)程中，我們幾乎隨時(shí)都會(huì)和別人談到自己的工作。你來(lái)公司多久了？你的職位是什么？你每天的工作都 有哪些內(nèi)容？你參與過(guò)哪些項(xiàng)目？既然工作那些事兒在我們的生活中占據(jù)了如此大的比重，那么今天教研君就和大家聊聊如何用英語(yǔ)談?wù)撟约旱墓ぷ鳌?

我們先來(lái)聽(tīng)聽(tīng)Stella是怎么和Amy談?wù)撍墓ぷ鞯陌伞?

見(jiàn)面寒暄

大家聽(tīng)出來(lái)了嗎？Stella和Amy的對(duì)話發(fā)生在社交場(chǎng)合（某餐廳）。在談?wù)摴ぷ髦?，兩人先點(diǎn)評(píng)了餐廳的漢堡，算是稍稍地寒暄了一下。用這種方式引入正題非常值得大家借鑒。

A: Ah, the burgers here are amazing. Have you tried them?

S: I have. My company has parties here sometimes. Always great food.

A: Oh, I bet.

基本問(wèn)題

接下來(lái)，Amy很自然地詢問(wèn)Stella在公司工作了多久："So how long have you been working at Biosociates?" Stella的回答是："I've been there since 2007. I started right after I got my BS in computer science."

在談?wù)摴ぷ髦?，?duì)方往往會(huì)問(wèn)我們一些基本的問(wèn)題，如公司名稱、你的職位頭銜、任職時(shí)長(zhǎng)等。在回答此類(lèi)問(wèn)題時(shí)，也可以順便提及你的教育背景、升職經(jīng)歷和職業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)變等。下面就是幾個(gè)很好的例子：

I've been working as an HR assistant for the last four years.（職位頭銜、任職時(shí)長(zhǎng)）

I've been with Henderson since leaving college. (公司名稱、任職時(shí)長(zhǎng))

I started here two years ago after I got my master's degree in Biology.（任職時(shí)長(zhǎng)、教育背景）

I was a junior copywriter until I was promoted last summer.（職位頭銜、升職經(jīng)歷）

I changed careers in the mid-90s and became a teacher.（職位名稱、職業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)變）

工作職責(zé)

之后，Amy提出了與工作職責(zé)相關(guān)的具體問(wèn)題。

A: And what are your day-to-day duties like?

S: Basically, I'm the go-to person for everything IT.

A: In what way?

S: Well, for the most part, it's mainly trouble shooting and training. But I also supervise the help desk.

A: Sounds like a lot. Have you worked on many specific projects?

S: Sure. I wrote up the tax support manuals for employees; you know, taking on some of the most common issues so that they can do some trouble shooting for themselves.?

在介紹自己的工作職責(zé)時(shí)，大家要記得說(shuō)明細(xì)節(jié)和使用描述性動(dòng)詞。通常，我們會(huì)提到：

所在領(lǐng)域或行業(yè)（IT）

日常工作事務(wù)（trouble shooting, training and supervise the help desk）

正在或曾經(jīng)參與的項(xiàng)目（wrote up the tax support manuals）

做個(gè)小練習(xí)吧！

?今天教研君和大家分享的是如何用英語(yǔ)談?wù)摴ぷ鳌２恢来蠹矣袥](méi)有收獲呢？現(xiàn)在，大家可以找小伙伴結(jié)對(duì)練習(xí)下面的問(wèn)題；也可以自問(wèn)自答，鞏固今天學(xué)到的內(nèi)容。

How long have you been working at your company?

What is your position?

What are your day-to-day duties like?

Have you worked on many specific projects?

作為職場(chǎng)人士，用英語(yǔ)談?wù)摴ぷ骱凸镜榷际欠浅；镜乃刭|(zhì)。如果想要提升自己的職場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力、獲得更多升職機(jī)會(huì)，大家有必要進(jìn)一步深入學(xué)習(xí)商務(wù)英語(yǔ)技能，如怎樣做一場(chǎng)完美的報(bào)告從而得到老外上司的賞識(shí)？怎樣寫(xiě)一份專(zhuān)業(yè)的英文簡(jiǎn)歷從而讓自己在眾多競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者中脫穎而出？這些內(nèi)容在【滬江·牛津】商務(wù)英語(yǔ)步入商界三期班中都有非常專(zhuān)業(yè)的講解。下一次我們要講些什么呢？一定是大家在工作中最關(guān)心的問(wèn)題。教研君先留個(gè)懸念，咱們下期再見(jiàn)。
