A:Hi,Alan. I feel very nervous because I am going to have a job interview next Monday. Could you please give me some suggestions?
A:嗨,艾伦。我心里忐忑不安,因为下周一我就要面试了。你能给我一些建议吗?
B :Sure. Firstly,it is very important for you to be punctual. Interviewers usually don’t think much of a candidate who comes 5 or 10 minutes late only to explain that he could not find the place or he was stuck in traffic.
B:当然。首先,守时是非常重要的。面试官通常不会对那些面试迟到5到10分钟,却解释为是因为找不到地方或途中堵车的人评价很高。
A: Yeah,that is very important.
A:对,这点很重要。
B: Secondly , you need to create a good image in a limited time.
B:其次,你应该在有限的时间内树立好的形象。
A:I will try my best to make a good impression, but it is always easier said that done.
A:我会尽最大努力留下好印象,可是说来容易做时难。
B: I think you should make some preparations. For example, you should take care to appear well-groomed and modestly dressed. What’s more,try to avoid a too causal style.
B:我认为你应该做好充分准备。比如说你应该注意穿戴整洁,服装得体,另外,不要穿太随意的衣服。
A:Can I wear T-shirt and jeans for the job interview?
A:我能穿T恤衫和牛仔裤去面试吗?
B: You’d better not. Informal clothes like sports shirts,tom jeans or dirty sneakers convey the impression that you are not serious about the job, or that you may be casual about your work as you are about your clothes.
B:你最好别穿。像运动衫,磨旧的牛仔裤 或脏球鞋这类的非正式服装可能给人造 成你对这份工作不认真的印象,或者说 你对工作的态度同穿着一样随意。
A:IVe got It. I think I will wear a white shirt with a tie. Thank you for your suggestions.
A:我明白了。我决定穿白衬衫系领带。谢 谢你的建议。
