“当猪都飞起来时”听以来就是不对劲。什么时候猪也长上了翅膀了呢？但是，对于英语为母语人士来说，这句话没有任何问题。when pigs fly是idiom的典型例子，和句子里单词字面的意思完全不同。让我们看看以下一些有趣的成语！

1.When pigs fly
猪可不能飞起来！这是不可能的事，因此正是成语本身想表达的意思。例如，当你听到有人说，"Do you think Mary will quit her job now that she's pregnant?"另一个人就回答，"Yeah, when pigs fly! There is no way she is giving up her career!"当他或她在使用表达方式 when pigs fly时，意思是Mary绝对不可能辞职。

 

2.Get in someone's hair
如果你get in someone's hair，你并没有爬到别人的头上！其实，意思是你烦扰到了他们－可能是你侵入了他们的私人空间。例如"Susan was trying to prepare dinner, but her children were getting in her hair!" 意思是Susan的孩子们在她做饭的时候烦她。如果有人烦扰到了你，你就可以说，"Get out of my hair!" 

 

3.Hit the ceiling
天花板可离我们的头远着呢，那么要撞上天花板也不是件容易的事－除非你非常生气！如果有人hits the ceiling意思是他们正表现出非常生气的样子。例如，"When Carol's son got an F on his report card, she hit the ceiling!"意思是Carol对她儿子考试不及格非常的愤怒。

实用俚语

　　有些词汇美国人每天都要讲，而且还可能要讲上无数遍。他们在办公室里用，在饭馆里，商店里以及其他任何场合都用。有的人认为它们听起来很老调，很乏味，但今天我们偏偏就要讲其中的两个常用词组。

　　1 No problem.

　　No problem这个习惯用语大约是三十年前开始出现的，但是现在世界各地的人都普遍地使用这个习惯用语。Problem就是有问题，有麻烦。No problem 就是：没有问题。No problem这个说法可以用在不同场合。首先，要是有人向你提出一个要求，你认为你能够，也愿意帮忙的话，你就可以说：No problem。意思就是：行，没问题。

　　比如说，你妈妈让你在天黑以前把院子打扫干净，你就可以回答说：No problem。

　　例句：

　　You want your car back by six o'clock, right? Hey, no problem! It'll be all fixed up and ready to go, just as good as new.

　　你六点前要来拿车，是吗？嗨，没问题。到时候，一切都会修好，就像 新车一样，就等着你开走。

　　当然，在现实生活中，你的车子可能过了三天还没有修好。美国一位研究语言的专家指出，当你听到对方说no problem的时候，有的情况下这意味着你的问题才刚刚开始。

　　No problem也可以用在别的场合。要是你把院子打扫得很干净，你妈妈说：谢谢你，这时候你也能用no problem。在这里，no problem就是不要客气的意思。

　　我们再来举一个例子看看no problem用做不要客气的时候是怎么用的。一个办公室里的电脑坏了。有一位工作人员打电话把电脑维修员请来看看有什么毛病。以下是他们的对话：

　　--There's no problem here except you forgot to switch on the machine.

　　--Oh, we're so sorry, but thank you for coming.

　　--No problem.大家要注意，第一句话里的no problem是真正的没问题，就是说这个电脑没有毛病。而第二个no problem 是不用客气的意思。2 Have a nice day!

　　Have a nice day从字面上来解释，它的意思就是：有一个好的日子。实际上，have a nice day就是祝你今天过的快乐的意思。这句话往往用于人们分手的时候，因此它也是再见的意思。这句话是三十年前那些开大卡车的司机通过无线电互相进行对话时说的。而现在，have a nice day已经成为每个人说的话，不管在哪里，商店、办公室、马路上，人们在向对方很友好地告别的时候就会说：have a nice day。

　　大多数美国人对别人都很友好，即便互相不认识，他们也会对别人打个招呼。电梯里相互说个早上好，分手时说一声have a nice day。

　　下面是一个人开车时超速被警察扣住。警察虽然给了他一张罚款单，最后却还是很友好地向他告别：

　　Sorry, Sir, you were going 80 miles an hour so I have to give you this ticket. Send your 100 Dollars to court within 10 days or you'll be in trouble. Now, have a nice day!

　　对不起，先生，你刚才的车速是一小时八十英里，所以我不得不给你一张罚款单。你在十天内寄一百美元去法庭，否则你会有麻烦的。好，祝你今天愉快。

　　美国高速公路的车速一般是每小时五十英里。被罚款一百美元不是一个小数字。这一天要过的愉快恐怕不容易。但是，警察最后说一句have a nice day是一种礼貌，并非虚伪。

　　下面这个例子是一个人在对他的邻居讲话。这个人一早到门口去拿报纸，看见邻居的太太拿了公事包去上班。这个人对这位太太说：

　　Hi, Joan! You're leaving so early for your office? Well, I guess it's the only way to beat the traffic. Anyhow, have a nice day!

　　嗨，琼！你这么早就去上班啦？是啊，我想这是避免堵车的唯一办法。祝你今天愉快!

恭喜的话：

　　最近周围结婚生子的人突然陡增，不知道2003年为什么会有这么多的人选择婚姻，也许是因为幸福的感觉是可以传染的吧……好吧，先介绍几句恭喜的话：

　　1. Congratulations! I’m sure you two will make a nice couple.

　　2. I heard you’re getting married. Congratulations!

　　3. Congratulations to the bride and groom.

　　4. May you have a wonderful new life together.

　　翻译：

　　1. 祝你们佳偶天成。

　　2. 我听说你们要结婚了，恭喜阿！

　　3. 祝福新郎和 新娘。

　　4. 祝新婚快乐。

　　还有，要是听到友人生小孩了，你可以说： Congratulations on your new baby.

　　翻译成中文，可以酸一点：弄璋(弄瓦)之喜。

　　让人值得恭喜的事情，当然不只结婚生子了，还有~~~

　　1. Congratulations on your graduation. 学成毕业之喜。

　　2. Congratulations on your promotion. 恭喜你升官。

　　外国人喜欢在节日、逢年过节时，于亲朋好友间写卡片或打电话道贺，表达心意。(中国人也应该学习一下，尤其是对你的外国朋友和外国客户，要特别注意哦！)

　　当然了好事也可能发生在咱们自己身上，当接到恭贺电话时，你可以说：

　　1. Thank you for saying so.谢谢你这么说。

　　2. Thank you but I have a lot to learn yet.谢谢你，但我还有很多要学习的地方。

　　3. It’s very nice of you to say so.谢谢你这么说。

　　4. Thank you. You flatter me.谢谢你，你过奖了。

　　5. Thank you, I’m just very lucky.谢谢你，我只是比较幸运而已。

　　道谢：

　　接受别人的礼物或招待后，打电话道谢为最起码的礼貌之一。

　　1. Thank you for the present. It’s just what I wanted.

　　2. Thank you so much for the homemade cake.

　　3. I don’t know how to thank you for such a beautiful flower.

　　4. I received your gift. Thank you for the lovely bracelet.

　　翻译：

　　1. 谢谢你的礼物，这正是我想要的。

　　2. 非常谢谢你作的 蛋糕。

　　3. 真不知道要如何谢谢你， 这么漂亮的花。

　　4. 我收到你的礼物了。谢谢你可爱的手镯。

　　当在回答他人的致谢时，可以说下面的句子，都有 别客气 的意思：

　　1. You’re welcome.别客气。

　　2. Not at all.这没什么。

　　3. It’s my pleasure.这是我的荣幸。

　　4. Don’t mention it.别放在心上。

　　5. That’s all right.这没什么。

　　6.No trouble at all.一点也不麻烦。

　　7.I’m gload you enjoyed it.真高兴你觉得满意。　听不清楚：

　　2. Sorry, I didn’t understand. 抱歉，我听不懂。

　　3. Sorry, I didn’t get what you said. 对不起，我没听懂你说的话。

　　6. I’m having trouble hearing you. 我听不清楚。

　　7. We have a bad connection. 通讯效果不太好。

　　8. I can’t catch what you are saying. 我听不太清楚你说的话。

　　发生上面的情况，你可以请对方在重复一遍，你可以说：

　　1. Pardon?请再说一遍好吗？

　　2. Excuse me? 请再说一遍？

　　上列两句都是对不起之意，但用在会话上，如果后面没有接说明，并且语尾上扬，就是要对方再说一次。听到这句话时就要知道对方要自己再说一遍。

　　3. I beg you pardon? 能请你再说一遍吗？(此句有请求对方原谅及再说一次的意思)

　　4. Could you repeat that, please? 能请你再说一遍吗？

　　5. Would you say that again? 你能再说一遍吗？

　　请对方说慢点的说法：

　　1. Would you speak more slowly? 你能再说慢一点吗？

　　2. Could you speak up a little? 你能在大声一点吗？

　　(speak up 大声说=speak out)

　　3. Would you speak more clearly? 你能再说清楚一点吗？

　　4. Would you explain more for me? 可以为我解释一遍吗？

　　5. Please speak a little louder. 请讲大声一点。

　　6. Would you slow down, please?清说慢一点好吗？

　　帮忙转分机：

　　1. May I have extension two-one-one?

　　2. Can I have extension two-one-one, please?

　　3. May I speak to David, extension tow-one-one?

　　4. Extension two-one-one, please.

　　5. Please connect me with extension two-one-one.

　　6. Could you put me through to the personnel department, please?

　　翻译：

　　通常句子都是越长越礼貌，太简短会让人有鲁莽的感觉。

　　1. 能帮我转分机211？

　　2. 能帮我转分机211吗？

　　3. 我可以找211分机的大卫吗？

讲英语难, 吵架更难. 虽说人在国外总是想尽办法以和为贵, 但要跟人家吵架怎么办?
很多人一生气, 所有的英文都忘光了, 平常英文就说不出口, 更何况是吵架, 所以满脑子浮现的不是 Fxxx 就是 Sxxx 这样是很不好的. 我还听过有一个人很绝, 英文骂不过人家就用中文骂, 反正对方听得懂听不懂都无关紧要, 重要的是让他知道你很凶, 而且你正在骂他就行了. 那么现在还是让我们来看看一些比较文雅的骂人以及吵架的方式.

1. I'm so fed up with your BS. Cut the crap.　　我受够了你的废话, 少说废话吧.
美女 (美国的女人) 是不喜欢说 shit 这个不雅的字的, 所以她们就说 shoot, 或是BS(=Bull shit) 来表示她们还是很有气质的. "Cut your crap." 是当你听到对方废话连篇, 讲个不停时, 你就可以说, "Cut the crap." 相当于中文里的废话少话。

2. Hey! wise up!　　放聪明点好吗?
当别人作了什么愚蠢的事时, 你可以说, "Don't be stupid" 或是 "Don't be silly."但是这是非常不礼貌的说法. 比较客气一点的说法就是, wise up! 它就相当于中文里的放聪明点. 你也可以用坚酸刻薄的语气说. Wise up, please. 然后故意把 please 的尾音拉得长长的.
也有人会说, Hey! grow up. 意思就是你长大一点好不好? 例如有人二十岁了却还不会自己补衣服, 你就可以说 Hey! grow up. 这根 wise up 是不是也差不多呢?

3. Put up or shut up.　　要嘛你就去做, 不然就给我闭嘴.
有些人就是出那张嘴, 只会出意见, 此时就可以说, Put up or shut up. 要注意的是,Put up 字典上是查不到"自己去做" 的意思, 但是见怪不怪, 很多笔记本上的用法都是字典上查不到的. 比方说今天你在写程序, 有人明明不懂却喜欢在一旁指挥你, 这时候你就可以说, Put up or shut up.
有时为了要加强 shut up 的语气, 老美会把它说成, shut the f**k up. 这句话常在二人火气很大时的对话中可以听到, 例如电影 The house on the haunted hill 女主角身陷鬼屋之中, 其它人又七嘴八舌时, 她就很生气地说了一句, shut the f**k up.
这句话也让我想到一句成语, walk the walk, talk the talk, 也就是说到就要作到,有点像是中文里知行要合一的意思, 或是只说, walk the talk 也可以.

4. You eat with that mouth?　　你是用这张嘴吃饭的吗?
别人对你说脏话, 你就回敬他这一句, 言下之意, 就是你的嘴那么脏, 你还用这张嘴吃饭.还有一种说法, "You kiss your Momma with that mouth?" 就是说你也是用这脏嘴亲你妈妈的吗? 所以下次记得如果有老美对你说脏话, 记得不要再 Fxxx 回去, 保持风度,说一句, "You eat with that mouth?" 就扯平了

5. You are dead meat.　　你死定了.
我们说你完蛋了, 可以说 "You are dead." 或是像这样说 "You are dead meat." 意思都是一样的, 比如说你跟别人说过不淮碰我的东西, 但有人他就是老爱用你的东西, 下次要是再被你抓到, 你就可以说, "You are dead meat."

6. Don't you dare!　　How dare you!　　你好大的胆子啊! 
这句话跟中文里 "你好大的胆子" 是一样, 可以在二种场合说, 第一种是很严肃的场合,比如说小孩子很调皮, 讲又讲不听, 父母就会说, "Don't you dare!" 那意思就是这个小孩要当心点, 不然等会就要挨打了. 另一种场合是开玩笑, 比如有人跟你说我跟某网友约会去了, 你说 "Don't you dare?" 就有点开玩笑的语气. (你不怕被恐龙给吃了吗?)Dare 在英文里还有许多有趣的用法, 例如, "You dare me." 或是 "I double dare you." 还有一种游戏叫 Truth or Dare, 限于篇幅, 容后再作介绍.

7. Don't push me around.　　不要摆布我.
这个词很有意思, 把你推来推去, 作摆布解释, 如果有人指挥你一下作这个一下作那个,你就可以用这一句 Hey! Don't push me around. 通常当我讲 "Don't push me around."时, 我还会想到一个字 bossy. Bossy 就是说像是老板一样, 喜欢指挥别人. 例如,"You are so bossy. I don't like that."
这句话也可以单讲, "Don't push me." 或是 "Don't push me any further." 还有一句根push 有关的成语, 叫 push the button, 意思就是, 指使, 操纵. 例如, "I know why you are doing this, someone is pushing your button!"

8. Are you raised in the barn?　　你是不是乡下长大的啊?
这句话是形容一个人没教养, 但是是比较开玩笑的语气. 比如说有人坐没坐像, 你就可以对他说这一句. Barn 原指谷仓. 我翻成乡下比较能跟中文的意思结合. 老美常用barn或是backyard 来形容一个人没有教养或是没有文化, 像是那天在电视上听到一句,"No backyard language in my house." 就是说, 在我的家里不准讲粗话.

9. You want to step outside?　　You want to take this outside?　　你想要外面解决吗?
老美跟我们一样, 要是二个人一言不合吵起来了, 可能就有人要说这一句了. 指的就是要不要出去打架啦. 还有一些我听过类似的用法, 例如, "Do you want to pick a fight?"
你要挑起争端吗? 或是 "This means war." 这就意谓着跟我宣战.

10. You and what army?　　You and who else?　　你和哪一路的人马啊?
要是有人跟你说 "Do you want to step outside?", 就回他这一句吧. 意思是说,是喔... 那你找了多少人马要来打架啊? 有时候电视里出现这句对白的时候, 还会打出一排军队的计算机动画, 非常地有意思.
还有一句话也很好玩, 叫 "Who's side are you on?" 这就是在快要打架时, 你问人家说,你到底是站在哪一边的?

　　Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.

1. 我很喜欢它。

　　False: I very like it.

　　True: I like it very much.

　　2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。

　　False: The price is very suitable for me.

　　True: The price is right.

　　suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上，如：下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。

　　3. 你是做什么工作的呢？

　　False: What’s your job?

　　True: Are you working at the moment?

　　what’s your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗？是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业，如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子，所以您要问：目前您是在上班吗，Are you working at the moment，接下来您才问：目前您在哪儿工作呢， where are you working these days，或者您从事哪个行业呢，What line of work are you in，顺带说一下，回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点，不要只是说经理或者秘书。　　

　　4. 用英语怎么说？

　　False: How to say in English?

　　True: How do you say this in English?

　　How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一，这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有：请问这个词如何拼写，How do you spell that please，请问这个单词怎么读，How do you pronounce this word。

　　5. 明天我有事情要做。

　　False: I have something to do tomorrow.

　　True: Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.

　　用I have something to do来表示您很忙，这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做，躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙，脱不开身：I’m tied up.还有其他的说法：I’m afraid I can’t make it at that time. I,d love to, but I can’t,I have to stay at home.

　　6. 我没有英文名。

　　False: I haven’t English name.

　　True: I don’t have an English name.

　　许多人讲英语犯这样的错误，从语法角度来分析，可能是语法功底欠缺，因为have在这里是实义动词，而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以，这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。 明白道理是一回事，习惯是另一回事，请您再说几话：

　　我没有钱；I don’t have any money.

　　我没有兄弟姐妹；I don’t have any brothers or sisters.

　　我没有车。I don’t have a car.

　　7. 我想我不行。

　　False: I think I can’t.

　　True: I don’t think I can.

　　这一组然是个习惯问题，在语法上称为否定前置，这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候，英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候，只要您留心，也会习惯英语的说法的。

　　8. 我的舞也跳得不好。

　　False: I don’t dance well too.

　　True: I am not a very good dancer either.

　　当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候，英语里面通常用not good at something，英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到：我不是一个好的舞者。

　　9. 现在几点钟了？

　　False: What time is it now?

　　True: What time is it, please?

　　What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子，讲英语的时候没有必要说now，因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday或者what time is it tommorow。所以符合英语习惯的说法是：请问现在几点了？还有一种说法是：how are we doing for time这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适

　　10. 我的英语很糟糕。

　　False: My English is poor.

　　True: I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.

　　有人开玩笑说，全中国人最擅长的一句英文是：My English is poor实话说，我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说：My Chinese is poor。无论他们的汉语是好是坏，他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I'm getting better。当您告诉外国人，您的英语很poor，so what(那又怎么样呢) 是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢，还是说我的英语不好，咱们不谈了吧。另外一个更大的弊端是，一边不停的学英语，一边不停地说自己的英语很poor，这正像有个人一边给车胎充气，又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。 我坚信，如果现在就苦下功夫，把EPTIP系列教材吃通吃透，您的IT职业英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。您以后和外国IT同行交流时再也不用说：我的英语很poor。您可以实事求事地说，我的英语还不算十分流利，但至少我在进步。

　　11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗？

　　False:Would you like to join our party on Friday?

　　True: Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?

　　join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会，如：join a health club; join the Communist Party。事实上，常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party，或者come to a Christmas Party。

　　12. 我没有经验。

　　False:I have no experience.

　　True: I am afraid I don’t know much about that.

　　I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪，因为您只需要说：那方面我懂得不多，或者这方面我不在行，就行了。I am not really an expert in this area.

   13. 我没有男朋友。

　　False: I have no boyfriend.

　　True: I don’t have a boyfriend.

　　14. 他的身体很健康。

　　False: His body is healthy.

　　True: He is in good health.　You can also say: He’s healthy.

　　15. 价钱很昂贵/便宜。

　　False: The price is too expensive/cheap.

　　True: The price is too high/ rather low.

　　16. 我们下了车。

　　False: We got off the car.

　　True: We got out of the car.

　　17. 车速快了。

　　False: The speed of the car is fast.

　　True: The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.”

　　18. 这个春节你回家吗？

　　Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?

　　False: 是的，我回去。Of course! (这一句是错的)

　　True: 当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)

　　以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多，只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为of course后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦！难道我是一个傻瓜吗？”因此，of course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时，用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时，of course not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not。

　　19. 我觉得右手很疼。

　　False:I feel very painful in my right hand.

　　True: My right hand is very painful.Or "My right hand hurts(aches)."

　　20. 他看到她很惊讶。

　　False: He looked at her and felt surprised.

　　True: He looked at her in surprise.

　　21. 我读过你的小说但是没料到你这么年轻。

　　False: I have read your novels but I didn't think you could be so young.

　　True: After having read your novel,I expected you would be older.

　　22. 她脸红了，让我看穿了她的心思。

　　False:Her red face made me see through her mind.

　　True: Her red face told me what she was thinking.

　　23. 看到这幅画让我想到了我的童年时代。

　　False:The sight of these pictures made me remember my own childhood.

　　True: Seeing these pictures reminded me of my own childhood.

　　24. 别理她。

　　False: Don't pay attention to her.

　　True: Leave her alone.

　　25. 我在大学里学到了许多知识。

　　False: I get a lot of knowledge in the university.

　　True: I learned a lot in universit

　　It's great if we enjoy our work and, even if we don't, it occupies a lot of our time. 你想过换工作吗？招聘会一场接一场，求职者应聘了一家又一家。那么，如何提高求职成功率呢？One of the most important steps in winning a job is to have a successful job interview (or several job interviews). Many job candidates are worried about interviews, and they feel even worse about the interviews given in English. How can you be successful in a job interview? What are the qualities necessary to make you outperform other candidates and get the job? 别着急，接下来的内容就是帮助你从众多的应聘者中脱颖而出。

　　这次我们将听到在校生小刘和公司经理之间的一段面试对话。You will learn from Liu's skills for handling a job interview.

　　Most job candidates will predict interview questions and prepare the answers before they have job interviews. Good preparation can often help them a great deal in giving their best performance. 有备而来，则无往而不利。就让我们看看英语面试中经常出现的一些问题。

　　A. Tell me something about yourself.

　　暂且不评论小刘的表现是否出色，让我们先来看看小刘的同学Sam面对同样的面试官，同样的问题，他是如何应答的吧。

　　MANAGER: Good morning, Mr. Brown! Please sit down!

　　SAM: Good morning, sir. Thank you.

　　MANAGER: Why did you apply for an internship in this company?

　　SAM: Well, sir, your company is located very near the college, so it would be very convenient for me to work here.

　　MANAGER: Anything else?

　　SAM: Yes, well, your company is an engineering company, and as I am an engineer, it seems I might be able to make myself useful.

　　MANAGER: Er, I see. Among the qualities we are looking for is technical ability and practical skills. A lot of university graduates have paper qualifications--but can they deliver? What would you say to that?

　　SAM: Yes, well, at my college, we have been working mainly on theoretical aspects so that we have a firm foundation. But each semester we have been asked to work on a practical project of some kind or other.

　　Can you give me an example?

　　SAM: Yes, well, during the last semester, I did the technical drawing of an experimental water pump. We had to do a presentation at the end of the semester.

　　MANAGER: Really! Did you bring the drawing with you?

　　SAM: I'm afraid I didn't. I didn't think you would be interested.

　　MANAGER: I see! Tell me, did you do that as an individual assignment?

　　SAM: Well, I worked with a team of five other people on the pump. I didn't want to get too involved, because of the time factor, so I offered to do the drawing, based on the design that had been worked out.

　　MANAGER: What part did the others play in developing the pump?

　　SAM: Well, I didn't have time to attend all the meetings, so I'm not sure exactly what everybody did.

　　MANAGER: I see. It sounds a bit ambitious.

　　SAM: Yes, it was. It took us far too long to get organized, and some of them said they wanted to try it out, and modify it. That was a good thing, I suppose, and I believe in the end it worked quite well, but I didn't get involved in the trials. To be honest, I was worried about our end of semester exams!

　　MANAGER: Right, Mr. Brown. That's all for the moment. I'll let you know soon what we decide.

　　SAM: Yes, sir. Thank you very much.

　　Notes:

　　1. theoretical adj.： 理论的，理论上的

　　2. trial： 测试，试验下面是面试官对Liu 和 Sam 在各个方面表现的纪录。对比看来，孰优孰劣，立刻显现。

　　The quality list: Candidate's performance

　　Liu Sam

　　a. Practical skills He has developed a water pump that required almost no external energy to run it. He didn't show us anything except the drawing.

　　b. Communication skills He answered questions clearly, logically and confidently. He answered questions clearly, but the interview with him was neither lively nor interesting.

　　c. Flexibility (灵活性、适应性) He knew what kind of answers the interviewer expected. He didn't quite know what kind of answers the interviewer expected.

　　d. Leadership He persuaded his team members to work with him on his idea about the water pump. He didn't show this ability.

　　e. Ability to work under pressure He and his team worked together day and night in order to finish their project in time. He was very worried about final exams and didn't want to get involved in the project.

　　f. Ability to work in a team He could recognize the importance of every team member, and knew how to work with them. He didn't get involved in the teamwork and didn't know what others were doing.

　　g. Motivation (求职动机) The two reasons he gave at the beginning of the interview are convincing. The two reasons he gave were weak. It seemed that he would work for any engineering company close to where he lived.

　　通过观看面试考官的记录卡，我们看出Liu的表现比Sam好得太多了。

　　首先， a good job candidate must have strong motivation.小Liu事先了解了要面试的公司并且表达了这个公司将在他的职业生涯中占据重要地位的想法；而Sam的原因却苍白无力。似乎只要离他学校近的公司他都会考虑。

　　其次，Also, a good job candidate should have practical skills.Liu showed his skills by presenting his designs of a water pump. Yet, Sam seemed to attach little importance to this skill.

　　最后，Another quality we are looking for in a job candidate is his ability to work with others. Liu在他的研究小组处于领导地位，而Sam几乎没有介入小组的项目研究。

　　接下来，我们打算送给大家一份礼物：17Deadly (致命的) Interview Mistakes Job Seekers Make.We hope you will avoid these mistakes in your job interview and we wish you good luck in your future job-hunting!

 

提醒应聘者面试过程要注意的17方面

17Deadly Interview Mistakes Job Seekers Make

　　1 Arrive late for the interview. 不要迟到。

　　2 Indicate you are late because the directions you were given were not good. 即使迟到也不要把不认识路当成借口。

　　3 Look disheveled and inappropriately dressed. 衣着要整洁得体。

　　4 Slouch in your seat. 坐姿要端正。

　　5 Don't maintain good eye contact with the interviewer. 要与面试官保持良好的眼神交流。

　　6 Do your company research at the interview by asking, "What do you guys do here?" 不要问面试的公司是哪个行业的。

　　7 Don't make a connection between your skills and the needs of the employer. 一定要把自己掌握的技能同所要应聘的岗位相挂钩。

　　8 Brag about how great you are, but neglect to cite evidence of your accomplishments. 不要炫耀自己的战绩而不给出实例。

　　9 Respond in an unfocused, disorganized, and rambling manner. 说话回答问题要讲求条理。

　　10 Remain low-key and display no enthusiasm for the job. 要对应聘的工作表现出充分的热情。

　　11 Answer most questions with simple "yes" and "no" answers. 不要仅仅用“是”或“不是”去回答问题。

　　12 Appear desperate for a job-any job. 适当表达对应聘职位的渴求。

　　13 Call the interviewer by his or her first name, or use the wrong name. 注意正确地称呼面试官。

　　14 Badmouth your current or former employer. 不要说领导的坏话。

　　15 Ask, "How am I doing? Are you going to hire me?" 不要问这两个问题。

　　16 Blurt out "I need to make at least $35,000. I hope this job pays at least that much," near the beginning of the interview. 不要在面试之初就不假思索地报出想要的薪酬。

　　17 When asked, "Do you have any questions?", reply "No." 当面试者问你还有何问题的时候，千万不要说没有问题。

　　最后需要提醒大家注意的是，英式英语和美式英语对于“简历”的称呼是不同的。The term curriculum vitae (a Latin expression meaning the course of life) is generally used in British English while resume (a French word meaning summary) is used in America and elsewhere. Many British people simply use the initials CV to refer to curriculum vitae. 求职英语就先聊到这里。求职只是迈出了职业生涯的第一步，如何做好工作，成功实现自我才是我们更该关心和注目的，祝大家事业有成！

电视节目Friends

　　1. TV is probably one of the best inventions of mankind.

　　We sit for hours in front of the TV watching a variety of channels, you know glued to the tube. And be happily entertained.

　　2. The TV show I like the most is an American Sitcom on NBC called “Friends”.

　　The show is so big worldwide, and fans are in millions.

　　To me it’s entertainment and English learning because they speak English so cool.

　　3. Our family got cable very early, so one day I was watching this commercial on TV about this show. I didn’t understand it because the people were speaking so fast, but I heard all the audience laughing. So I said to myself this is funny. I need to watch it. So I bought some DVDs. I think it was in the year 2002

　　4. The show lasted for 10 years. It’s basically about six very different friends staying close for an unusually long time. They grew up together, and they were always there for each other. It’s very warm.

　　5. I like the show because it shows me that people can genuinely care about each other. We live so lonely nowadays especially in the city. And this show provides some kind of a friendship utopia that we can take shelter in. That kind of friendship is what everybody wants. I learned true friends should listen to each other, give each other understandings and supports and respect the choices each makes

　　下文加粗部分的英文成语中都有一个词与一项娱乐活动或体育运动有关。请先读一读下面的小故事，你能猜出这些成语的含义吗？

　　We always knew what our boss, Winona, was thinking. Right off the bat, as soon as she walked through the door, she'd let you know what she wanted you to do. Her style was clear, direct, and open. She always put her cards on the table.

　　If you did something wrong or said something inappropriate, Winona told you were off base. If she thought you were doing well and on the ball, she told you that, too. And when she said no, she meant no. No dice. Not many people argued with Winona and won. But I think she really enjoyed people who would stand up to her and give their own opinions. I think she secretly got a kick out of it.

　　现在让我们看看这些成语在例句中的用法，这回你能猜出它们的意思了吗？

　　right off the bat:

　　Una looked at the math problem for just a minute, and she got the correct answer right off the bat.

　　put one's cards on the table:

　　Let me put my cards on the table. Either we sell more or we'll have to close the business.

　　off base:

　　You're off base with the answer. Try again.

　　Sophie is an excellent manager. She really knows how to organize things and get things done. She is really on the ball.

　　no dice:

　　Tom wanted the party to be at my apartment, but I said no dice.

　　get a kick out of something:

　　I really get a kick out of Lisa's jokes. She always makes me laugh.　

  成语含义揭晓：

　　right off the bat: 毫不犹豫地，一下子，马上。

　　put one's cards on the table: 摊牌，把自己的打算和盘托出。

　　off base: 与事实不符的，错误的，荒谬的。

　　She makes a mess of things.她把事情搞得一塌糊涂。

　　Get an eyeful.看个够

　　He has a quick eye. 他的眼睛很锐利

1. Yoba! 对啊。

这是时尚女孩子创造出来的语言，也是她们常说的单字之一。基本上呢，Yoba 就是 Yes 的意思。比如她们会说"Do you like to go swimming with us?" 你就可以回答"Yoba!" 但是这不是正式的英文，纯粹是好玩的说法。

2. Bam chi ga bon-bon. 是不是干了什么好事。

这群女孩子没事就喜欢说，"Bam chi ga bon-bon." 这是在 70 年代时色情电影中都会有的一段旋律，所以大家都把它引申为跟性有关的一些事物。比如说要是有人跟你说他昨天带女朋友回家过夜，这种事情你总不能明问，"Do you have sex last night?" 这么直白实在不合适。所以这种情况下，你就可以开玩笑地问他说 "Bam chi ga bon-bon?" 这句话也可以当形容词或名词用，例如，"I have a girlfriend for 2 years, but no Bam chi ga bon bon at all." 意思就是交了女朋友二年，却什么事都没发生过。

另外有一个词 hanky-panky 跟 Bam chi ga bon-bon 很像，同样是指一些暧昧的事，例如: "There's something hanky-panky going on in the restroom."

3. Damn-it boy 该死的男孩

这群女孩子有一堆话来称呼男孩。例如，"Damn-it boy." 就是常常可以听到的一个。另外还有"You fool." (你这个笨蛋), "You cheese head" (你这个没有大脑的家伙或是 "You stupid." (你这个愚蠢的家伙)，当然可以听出来打情骂俏的成份远多于真正责备的成份。

4. He is not my type. 他不是我心目中的类型。

俗话说一个女孩子想男孩子，二个女孩子谈男孩子，三个女孩子骂男孩子。当二个女人聚在一起总是会对周遭的男生品头论足，"He is not my type." 是常用的一个句子，就相当于他跟我不适合啦。他不是我想要的那个类型。

5. He is a muscle man. 他是个有肌肉的男人。

有些美国女孩子很欣赏那些肌肉很多的男人，她们称之为 muscular type，或是可以说 a muscle man，或是 "He is beefy." 。如果你跟一个老美说"I have no muscle." ，人家当然就会听不懂，你应该说"I am not a muscle man." 才对。

另外有一个说法叫 semi-muscular。 Semi-muscular 就是有点肌肉又不会太多，比如可以说 I am semi-muscular with 6-pack ab. 6-pack ab 意味着 "six piece of muscle on the abdomen" 就是有六块腹肌的意思，也可以说成 washboard ab. 像洗衣板一样的腹肌。

6. I saw a girl throw herself on him. 我看到有一个女孩对他投怀送抱。

这就是指女生作小鸟依人状，把整个人靠在男生身上。另外一句类似的话是，"That girl drapes herself all over him." 也是指整个人就趴在他身上。

7. You can go commando. 你可以不穿内裤出门。

这是个很有趣的单字，美国有些人不爱穿内裤，直接穿一件外裤就出门了，这种行为就叫 go commando。Go commando 原来的意思是履行危险的任务，或许是因为不穿内裤感觉上好像是在冒险，所以就叫 go commando。

8. There is a big hole in my head. 我什么也不记得了。

说错话怎么办？那就装傻吧。装傻的时候可以说这句，意思是我的脑袋中有一个洞，很多原来贮存在这个区域的记忆都不见了。比如有人问你昨天是不是跟某某人出去了，要是你不想回答这个问题，你就可以说"Oh! There is a big hole in my head."。

有人说，男人最讲理。所以如果你有理，你就跟他讲道理。如果你没理，你就不要跟他讲道理，他对你一点办法也没有。像这句话就挺适合在不讲道理的时候使用。例如有人问你，昨晚跟谁出去了，你就可以回答"There is a big hole in my head." 他就会拿你一点办法也没有。

9. My aunt Flo is visiting. 我的芙洛姑妈来拜访我了。

这里的 Flo 是 Florence 的缩写，但其实 Flo 这里暗指 flow 的意思。所以大家应该不难猜到，所谓的 "My aunt Flo is visiting." 就是相当于中文里的,“我的大姨妈来了。”我想女生都应该知道这是指什么吧。男生在高中之后大概也就知道了吧！

10. I am not gossipy. 我才不是长舌妇呢。

似乎爱说话是全世界女人的通病，在美国也不例外。八卦在英语里面就叫gossip，它可以指八卦新闻或是指爱说八卦的人。她们也常用这个字的形容词gossipy。

爱讲话的除了 gossipy 之外，你也可以用talkative, chatty或是loquacious。 例如 "You are so talkative. I can't put up with you anymore."

英语变化迅速，新词不断涌现。今天给大家介绍一个一个单词就是dumped。不过你有没有married，have you ever been dumped？大家能猜到这是什么意思吗?

Dump 书面的意思是扔掉，不过很多人都会用这个词来形容他们的一段恋情结束了——你可能会主动结束这段恋情，把对方甩了，或者反过来你被对方抛弃了。

In British English when you have a boyfriend or girlfriend and they tell you they don't want to be with you anymore. They dump you--or you say--I've been dumped!

 

Dump的这个用法适用于非正式的场合，而且，这个用法非常流行哦。It's probably the most common way of saying someone didn't want to be with you anymore.

 

下次，如果有人抛弃了你，那就是 they dump you 或者你被抛弃了，就用 you are dumped。

 

在杂志和电视节目中我们会经常碰到dump的这个用法。当然啦，在现实生活中希望大家永远不需要使用它。我们仅仅只要了解dump的这个含义就足够了。To dump--to dump someone--or to be dumped.

 

例句：

A: Have you spoken to Kate recently?

B: Yes I have and she's really upset. David dumped her last week.

A: Kate was dumped--no! I thought he really liked her.

A: How are things going with Jake?

B: I don't really like him that much – he's quite boring. I think I might have to dump him.
