1--Okay Rebecca, well I think you’ve given me a clear impression of your positive qualities, but let’s talk a little bit about your weaknesses.
2--Okay, well it’s always more difficult to describe them isn’t it?
1--Definitely, but if you had to pinpoint one weakness what would it be?
2--Well as I mentioned before, I do tend to get frustrated if I don’t see progress in my work or career. I suppose I’m quite a restless character. My father always taught me to be a high achiever so.
1--So would you say if things don’t go your way at work it could easily get you down?
2--Well, in a way yes. But I must say that even if I’m not completely happy in my work I always give 110% I would never shirk my responsibilities. I suppose sometimes I expect too much too soon.
1--Well, you know journalism is a highly competitive world, so you do need to keep pushing yourself it’s true. Okay, well let’s move on to talk about the job position here, shall we?
2--Yes, please.

1--好吧,Rebecca,我想對你的優(yōu)點你已經(jīng)給我留下清晰的印象。我們來談下你的缺點吧。
2--好的,描述缺點總有點困難,不是嗎?
1--確實是這樣,如果你必須得說下缺點,你會說什么?
2--就像我早提到的,如果在工作或失業(yè)中我看不到進步,就會感到沮喪。我想我有種閑不著的性格。我爸爸總是教育我成為一名成功者。
1--如果事情沒有按照你的意愿發(fā)展,那會讓你失望或沮喪嗎?
2--在某些方面是的。但是我必須說,即使我工作時并不是十分開心,我總是110%地付出,我也不會逃避責任,我想有時候我期盼得太多,太急了。
1--你知道,新聞業(yè)競爭十分激烈,所以你需要督促自己,那是真的,好的,我們來談下這兒的工作職位,好嗎?
2--好的,請吧。
