英語(yǔ)面試中最令人撓頭的六句話

NO.2 我是三好學(xué)生外加鋼琴十級(jí)

撓頭系數(shù)：三顆星

表達(dá)難點(diǎn)：需要陳述這樣信息的多半是剛剛畢業(yè)的學(xué)生。本來(lái)就緊張，背下來(lái)的句子結(jié)結(jié)巴巴不說(shuō)，還帶著一些富有中國(guó)特色的專有名詞，老外面試官聽(tīng)起來(lái)多半是一頭霧水。我曾經(jīng)面試過(guò)一個(gè)人大的女生，自我介紹的時(shí)候說(shuō)她在校時(shí)得到過(guò)“Good Student Worker Award”。當(dāng)時(shí)我腦子里出現(xiàn)的畫面是一個(gè)粗壯勞動(dòng)?jì)D女開(kāi)拖拉機(jī)的形象。后來(lái)小姑娘告訴我，人家那是想說(shuō)“先進(jìn)學(xué)生工作者”。

表述技巧：這里就是一句話---To put your feet into the interviewer’s shoes---把你的腳放在面試官的鞋子里，意思是說(shuō)設(shè)身處地為他/她著想。想想老外知道不知道“三好學(xué)生”是哪“Three good”；鋼琴十級(jí)到底是高還是低；英語(yǔ)六級(jí)老外是不是也在大學(xué)的時(shí)候考過(guò)；與其用十分鐘解釋“通州區(qū)依法誠(chéng)信納稅-共建和諧社會(huì)書法賽優(yōu)秀獎(jiǎng)”這么令人心跳加速的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)還不如告訴人家I won a calligraphy contest funded by the local government. 雖然聽(tīng)起來(lái)不特別具體，但起碼會(huì)讓你和面試官在交流上“共建和諧”。
