英語口語：自我介紹
職場英語口語對話：自我介紹
自我介紹可能是我們從學生時期就需要準備的一段話了，並且現在無論是面試或者研討會都有可能會用到的。所以今天我們就來分享一下，如何自我介紹工作經歷。
I’ve been working in ABC company for the past two years as a computer engineer.
我在ABC公司當了兩年的計算機工程師。
I’ve just graduated from ABC University.
我是剛從ABC大學畢業的畢業生。
I was an accounting trainee and eventually become a manager.
我最初是從當見習會計起步的，後來成為了一名經理。
My major is computer. I went in for the development of software after graduation.
我學的是計算機專業，畢業後從事計算軟體開發的工作。
聰明人在工作場合不該說的話
Don't say: "That's not my job."
Why: If your superior asks you to do something, it is your job。
Instead say: "I'm not sure that should be my priority right now." Then have a conversation with your boss about your responsibilities。
不要說"That's not my job."(這不是我分內的事。)只要你的上司讓你做，那你就得做。我們可以說"I'm not sure that should be my priority right now."(我不確定現在是否應該先做這事。)然後告訴老闆你需要負責哪些。
Don't say: "This might sound stupid, but…"
Why: Never undermine your ideas by prefacing your remarks with wishy-washy language。
Instead say: "What's on your mind?" It reinforces your credibility to present your ideas with confidence。
不要說"This might sound stupid, but…"(也許這聽上去有點愚昧，但是……)永遠不要在發言前加上這種優柔寡斷的字首來削弱自己的觀點。可以說"What's on your mind?"(你怎麼認為?)這樣可以增強你的可信度，讓你充滿自信地發表意見。
Don't say: "I don't have time to talk to you."
Why: It's plain rude, in person or on the phone。
Instead say: "I'm just finishing something up right now. Can I come by when I'm done?" Graciously explain why you can't talk now, and suggest catching up at an appointed time later. Let phone calls go to voice mail until you can give callers your undivided attention。
不要說"I don't have time to talk to you."(我沒時間跟你說。)無論是當面說還是在電話裡說，這話都是相當粗魯的。我們可以說"I'm just finishing something up right now. Can I come by when I'm done?"(我現在正忙著要完成一些事情，等我做完了再來找你行嗎?)禮貌地向別人解釋為什麼現在不行，並且提出稍後的約定時間。打電話時除非你能把所有注意力都放在對方身上，否則就選擇語音郵件的形式吧。
初到一家公司該怎麼做
It's never easy being the new guy. Whether you're heading into your first job out of school or your 15th, the first days at a new gig are rarely easy ones. New coworkers, a new office, and a brand new work culture all lend to the feeling that you are a stranger in an even stranger land. What's the best way to cope?
當新人從來不是件容易的事。不管你是大學畢業才獲得第一份工作，或者這已經是你的第15份工作了，總之在一家新單位裡的頭幾天都不會過得很輕鬆。新的同事，新的辦公室，以及全新的工作文化，會讓你充滿了人生地不熟的感覺。那麼，最好的適應方法是什麼?
"Go to the cafeteria, the break room and ask people to tell you stories," says Todd Hudson, founder of Maverick Institute, Portland Ore., which published the handbook, "My Personal Onboarding Plan: The New Hire's Guide to On-the-Job Success."
俄勒岡州波特蘭市馬沃裡克研究院(Maverick Institute)的創始人，《我的入職計劃：職場新人的成功指南》("My Personal Onboarding Plan: The New Hire's Guide to On-the-Job Success.")一書作者託德?哈德遜建議是：“到自助餐廳或休息室去，讓人們給你講點故事。”
From what these seasoned employees tell you, you'll learn who the key players are at your new office and "about extraordinary efforts, about creativity, about people protecting their customers. Your new coworkers' tales will tell you how you should act in those situations. If you hear all negative stories, it tells you one thing. If you hear positive things, that tells you something else," Hudson says.
從這些老員工的話裡，你可以得知誰是辦公室裡的關鍵人物，以及誰“非常努力，非常有創造性，非常保護他們的客戶。新同事的故事會告訴你，在這些情況下應該如何表現。負面的故事都是相同的，而正面的故事各有各的意義。”哈德遜說。
People love to tell these stories, he adds. "They will tell you what made the biggest impression on them, what got their juices going."
他補充道，人們是喜歡講這些故事的。“他們會告訴你，什麼樣的事情會給人留下最深刻的印象，而什麼樣的事情會被傳得八卦滿天飛。”
When you start a new job, you'll probably have some type of formal orientation program, also known as onboarding. It may be nothing more than a quick introduction to policies and benefits, but some companies make an effort to offer you a taste of what kind of environment to expect.
當你開始一個新工作的時候，你可能要接受某種正式的入職教育。有的入職教育只是簡單地介紹一下公司的政策和福利，但有些公司卻會讓你對工作環境稍作了解。
職場新人八大生存法則（雙語）
今夏許多畢業生將開始自己的職場生涯，正所謂萬事開頭難。這裡，我們為您列出幾項職場新人的法則，以免你們在剛開始工作時亂了陣腳(mess up)。
Many graduates will step up to the starting line of their careers this summer.
許多畢業生將在今夏走上自己的職場起跑線。
And your first year in work may be a crucial period, says an HR expert.
而你參加工作的頭一年可能是段艱苦時期，一位人力資源專家如是說。
“Forming good habits is as important as developing professional skills. The *devil is in the detail,” said Zhang Yuxia, a human resource consultant at zhaopin.com.
“養成良好習慣和培養專業技能同等重要。細節決定成敗，”智聯招聘網的人力資源顧問張玉霞表示。
Here we’ve listed some rules for *newbies so you won’t mess up at the very beginning.
這裡，我們為您列出一些職場新人法則，以免你們在剛開始工作時亂了陣腳。
1. Study the dress code
研習著裝法則
What you wear creates people’s first impression of you. So it’s important to project a neat and professional image. Employers generally provide every employee with a dress code. You can easily get a copy from the human resources department.
穿著會影響你給人的第一印象。所以打造一個整潔而職業的形象十分必要。用人單位通常對職員都有著裝要求。你只需從人事部門拿份著裝要求的影印本便可以。
But codes vary with companies and positions. “A shortcut is to observe how others in the same position as you dress. You can take cues from these individuals to develop a professional style,” said Zhou Xiaorong, human resource manager in Mindray Medical International Limited in Shenzhen.
但是，不同的公司和職位，著裝上的要求不盡相同。“一個省時省力的方法就是，去觀察職位相同的其他人的穿著。你可以從他們身上找到答案，去打造適合自己的職業風格，”深圳邁瑞醫療國際股份有限公司人力資源總監周曉蓉表示。
According to Zhou, it’s wise to avoid *flip-flops. She has a final piece of advice for women: “Avoid exposing *cleavage or too much leg. Remember, in business, more skin, less power.”
周曉蓉認為，人字拖不是明智之選。她對女性還有終極忠告：“避免露出‘事業線’和太多的大腿。切記，在商場上，裸露越多，實力越弱。”
2. Be punctual
守時
Maintaining discipline in areas such as punctuality means you set high standards for yourself. Your employer and co-workers will appreciate your *accountability.
在很多方面嚴於律己，這代表你對自己要求很高，“守時”便是其中之一。老闆和同事都會視你為值得信賴的人。
Being on time for work is valued. “Form the habit of showing up at work 15 minutes early and leaving 15 minutes late,” said Zhou. “And your boss will notice your initiative.”
準時上班很重要。“早到15分鐘或晚走15分鐘，老闆會注意到你的工作積極性。”
But this doesn’t mean devoting the extra time to routine work. It’s good to study general developments in your industry. Use this information to gain a competitive edge.
但是這並並不意味著要把業餘時間都撲到日常工作上。如果能去多瞭解一些業內整體發展狀況，就更好了。這些資訊可以增加你的競爭力。
3. Keep your cubicle tidy
保持工位整潔
Staying organized at work saves time and energy. Also, your private environment *discloses your personality. A well-kept one proves that you’re responsible.
有條不紊的工作狀態可以省時省力。同樣，你的私人空間也暴露出你的性格。整潔的工位彰顯你的責任心。
Doing your share of office chores will also *endear you to your boss and colleagues.
做好自己的辦公雜務同樣可以令你更討老闆和同事的喜歡。
4. Communicate well with your supervisor
與上司溝通順暢
It’s important to communicate often with your boss face to face. E-mail or online chatting is great for brief business exchanges, but any communication of real substance should be done in person.
與老闆經常面對面地交流這十分重要。對於簡單的業務交流而言，郵件或網聊都是極佳之選，但任何形式的實質性溝通都應面對面進行，
Try not to be shy or nervous, and be yourself. Then you can get your ideas across quickly. But do not *drone on and waste their time - they’re always busy.
不要害羞或緊張，做自己就好。這樣就可以保持思路順暢。但是不要喋喋不休，以免浪費對方時間，因為領導們總是很忙。
Politeness is a *virtue in the workplace. “My boss worked in a different area from me. I would stop by his office to say hello when I arrived every morning,” said Xu Aili, public relations manager in Walmart China.
職場的禮節是種美德。“老闆跟我在不同區域辦公，但每天早晨我到單位時，路過他辦公室時，都會停下和老闆打個招呼，”沃爾瑪中國公共關係總監徐愛俐(音譯)表示。
“You do not need to engage in a long conversation, but it is nice to *acknowledge your boss, and show that you have a positive work attitude.”
“你不必同上司促膝長談，但是適當地向他表示感謝並且展示一個積極的工作態度是很不錯的。
5. Try not to be aggressive
不要咄咄逼人
It’s okay to be *proactive as a newbie. Innovative ideas are welcome. But do not cross the line and be aggressive.
作為新人，積極主動一些本無可厚非。創意點子也是多多益善，但是不要做得太過，咄咄逼人。
You still have to *comply with office policies. “Consult the manager about your new ideas rather than complain or simply demand for a change,” said Zhang, the HR consultant.
你仍要遵守辦公室法則。“向經理討教他/她對你新想法的意見，而不是抱怨或一味地要求改變，”身為人力資源顧問的張玉霞表示。
6. Be polite but not in a hurry to make friends
待人禮貌但不要急於交友
Some work relationships do blossom into friendships, but most do not. You can still have a great working relationship without making friends.
有一些工作關係可能發展成為朋友關係，但是大部分沒有。即使不做朋友，你仍然可以維持很棒的工作關係。
“Work relationships are not governed by the same rules as friendships, so do not feel bad if your colleagues do not want to *chitchat or are not particularly warm towards you,” said Zhang.
工作關係與朋友關係，處事原則各不相同。所以，如果同事不願跟你聊天或者並沒有特別熱情地帶你，請不要沮喪。
7. Be honest, be yourself
誠實，本真
A newbie is new to the game. If you make a mistake, admit it and fix it. Foster the quality of being honest from the beginning. It’s one of the biggest favors you can do for yourself and your career.
職場新人初來乍到。一旦犯錯，那就承認並改正。從一開始就養成誠實的品性。這是你給予自身以及職業生涯的最佳恩惠。
8. Be enthusiastic
熱情
Enthusiasm is the main ingredient to achieve results at work, especially for newcomers. “Develop a real passion for your job, no matter how *menial and trivial it seems to be. You will achieve so much more and you will be noticed,” said Zhang.
熱情是工作中取得佳績的一個要素，尤其是對職場新人們來說。“培養對工作的熱情，不管這份工作看起來有多麼枯燥、瑣碎。你會因此收穫頗豐並得到賞識。”張玉霞表示。

情境短語
1. get acquainted (with…) (和`……)認識，熟悉……
這個常用的短語暗示雙方從不認識到熟識， "get"可換 "become"。若是短語之後，要加上被認識的物件，以介係詞 "with"連線。
例：Our boss got acquainted with a couple of real estate agents in the golf Club.
(我們老闆在高爾夫俱樂部裡結識了幾位做房地產的商人。)
2. on top of things 完全掌握
字面的意思是將問題克服，高高踩在上面，引申為"控制全域性"。
例：The new manager was always worried he wasn't on top of things.
(新經理一直擔心自己無法掌握全域性。)
3. (a) force to be reckoned with 值得注意的人物
"(a) force"，"力量"，可以指一個團體、事物或個人; "reckon"在此的意思為"認定"。 "a force to be reckoned with"是形容"有成功的條件而值得注意的人物、團體"。
例：The new company will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
(這家新公司未來值得大家注意。)
4. Don't I know it. 我完全同意!
當此句型以句點(.)而非問號結尾時，表示完全同意對的方意見，為口語用法，強調的是肯定的含意。意思為"我怎會不知道!?;我當然明白這一點!"。
例：You say the discount rate is too low? Don't I know it!
(你說這折扣打得太少?我完全同意!)
5. in a nutshell 簡言之
"nutshell"原為"堅果殼"，又指"極小的容器"，故 "in a nutshell" 這個副詞短語的意思是"簡言之"。
例：Bob told us in a nutshell what happened in the managers' meeting.
(Bob簡略地告訴我們經理們開會的情形。)
6. growth sector 成長領域
這個經濟學上的名詞是指經濟成長特別快速的領域， "sector"是"區域;部門"的意思。

職場談話的七個小技巧
所謂巧妙, 指的就是周圍情況的`觀察力，以及能夠說出最善體人意或最貼切的話。TACTFUL巧妙, 這個英文單字，若把它拆開則七各字母分別代表了不同的意義。
T: Think before you speak 三思而後”言”
很多人往往心直口快，根本沒想到自己犀利的言詞可能對別人造成的傷害。因此說話不能不經過大腦，在要說出口之前，先想想看”如果別人對我這樣說，我會作何感想?”
A: Apologize quickly when you blunder 失言時立刻致歉
如果你確實說錯話了，就必須立刻道歉，勇於承認錯誤，不要編一大堆藉口，以免越描越黑。
C: Coverse， don`t compete 和別人溝通，不要和別人比賽
如果有人常在你的話裡尋找漏洞，常為某些細節爭論不休，藉以想人炫耀自己的知識淵博、伶牙俐齒，你對他會有什麼感覺?
T: Time your comments 挑對說話的時機
當你要表達意見之前，都必須先確定，對方已經準備好，願意聽你說話了。否則你只會浪費力氣，對牛彈琴。
F: Focus on behavior-not on personality 對事不對人
如果你朋友這些行為已經威脅到你們之間的友誼，你就有權開口提醒他。此時最重要的是，你必須指明自己討厭他哪些行為，而不是一味的想改變他的個性。一個人要改變某些特定、確切的行為，要比改變個性容易多了。
U: Uncover hidden feelings 瞭解別人的感覺
當面對別人的批評或某些讓你不悅的行為，你只要能找出背後真正的原因或需求，就能夠用另外一種說詞去化解一場衝突。
L: Listen for feedback 聆聽他人的回饋
如果你仔細聆聽別人對你意見的回饋或反應，就能確定對方有沒有在聽你說話，得知對方是否以瞭解你的觀點或感覺。而你也可以看出對方所關心、願意討論的重點在哪裡。
