Notes:
1. 對話中Susan來參加面試,人事經(jīng)理接待了她。人事經(jīng)理是the personnel manager。Susan開始問:May I see Mr. John Watt, the personnel manager?(我想見人事經(jīng)理。)May I...? 是非?蜌獾膯栐挿绞。Susan問的人正是人事經(jīng)理,他回答到:It's me. What can I do for you? (我就是,有什么事情嗎?)
2. Susan回答I have come at your invitation for an interview. 我是應(yīng)你們的要求來面試的。at one's invitation,在某人的邀請下。例如:He came to my birthday party at my mother's invitation. 我母親邀請他來參加我的生日舞會。這句話還可以這樣說:I'm here for an interview as requested.
3. 兩個人互相打過了招呼。May I have your name? 直譯就是"我可以知道你的名字嗎?"是很客氣的問法。We have received your letter in answer to our advertisement. I would like to talk with you regarding your qualifications for this position. (我們已經(jīng)收到您回復招聘廣告的信函了。我想和你談?wù)勀愕那闆r和這個職位。)這里面應(yīng)該包括了簡歷。更加簡單的說法是:We have received your letter and resume, and we thought we would like to ask you to come here for an interview.
4. be qualified for something或者是be qualified to do something,有資格做某事。例如:You're not qualified to be a doctor. 你沒有做醫(yī)生的資格。表示"很榮幸參加面試"還可以這樣說:It is a great pleasure for me to have this opportunity for interview.
