　　This is a popular question that western employers like to ask to make candidates nervous! In fact, they ask this to know how you respond to a difficult question. You shouldn't answer by telling your greatest weakness since you might not get the job! Instead, you can tell them something that isn't directly related to the job position.

　　你最大的缺点是什么？西方老板特别爱问这个问题，让面试者感到很紧张。事实上，他问这个问题是看你对棘手问题的反应。你没必要如实回答你的弱点，因为那有可能让你得不到这份工作。相反，你可以告诉他们一些与工作不直接相关的事情。

　　Third One: Why do you feel you are qualified for this job?

　　This question is a good opportunity to brag a little bit. You should talk about some extra skills you have that maybe wasn't included in your resume, or talk about your greatest strength in more detail.

　　Fourth One: What kind of salary did you have in mind?

　　Salary is how much money you earn, usually per year. When asked this, it's best to answer with a salary range or approximation and not an exact figure. This shows that you are familiar with the industry if you know what the approximate salary should be.

　　你期望的薪水是多少？“salary”就是你赚多少钱，通常是年收入。回答这个问题时，最好说出一个大致范围，而不是一个确切的数字。如果你能说出这个工资范围，那就说明你对此行业非常了解。

　　When answering this it's best not to say you can start right away. This might make you seem very desperate for a job. A safe answer would be "I can start at the beginning of next month."

　　如果雇佣的话，你什么时候开始工作？回答这个问题时。一定要注意！不要说我马上可以工作。那会让对方认为你非常迫切地需要这份工作。一个非常保险的回答可以是“I can start at the beginning of next month.”（我下月初可以开始上班。）

　　You can ask this to clarify exactly what kind of work you'll be doing.

Find out as much as you can, including products, size, income, reputation, image, management talent, people, skills, history and philosophy. Project an informed interest; let the interviewer tell you about the company.

 

　　3. Why do you want to work for us?

　　Don't talk about what you want; first, talk about their needs: You would like to be part of a specific company project; you would like to solve a company problem; you can make a definite contribution to specific company goals.

 

　　4. What would you do for us? What can you do for us that someone else can't?

　　Relate past experiences that show you've had success in solving previous employer problem(s) that may be similar to those of the prospective employer.

ceramics ,porcelain ,pottery区别

ceramics和porcelain. 两者都是clay.  porcelain(china)是瓷.porcelain是经过高分处理，质量比较好，高级工艺类教多用，专指瓷。ceramics较次，不一定经过高温处理，范围也比较广，可以指艺术陶瓷，建筑陶瓷，卫生陶瓷和日用陶瓷；有的国家也把它指陶类，不过不多见。 pottery 是陶。arthenware，陶制品． 对于厂家来说，陶和瓷是两个不同的概念，不过一般人都把他们当作一回事。

pottery, 陶器,有三种类:陶器,石器和瓷器.高温烧制.
the baked-clay wares of the entire ceramics field. For a descrīption of the nature of the material, see clay.
Types of Pottery

It usually falls into three main classes—porous-bodied pottery, stoneware, and porcelain. Raw clay is transformed into a porous pottery when it is heated to a temperature of about 500°C. This pottery, unlike sun-dried clay, retains a permanent shape and does not disintegrate in water. Stoneware is produced by raising the temperature, and porcelain is baked at still greater heat. In this process part of the clay becomes vitrified, or glassy, and the strength of the pottery is increased.

earthenware,陶器, 土器

有时做为所有pottery的总称,它烧制时温度较低,所以制陶的泥不象石器和瓷器那样光滑.


form of pottery fired at relatively low temperatures, so that the clay does not vitrify (become glassy), as do stoneware and porcelain clays. Occasionally, earthenware is used as a general term for all kinds of pottery.

---

Fragile,breakable,delicate,brittle

Fragile:applies to objects whose lightness or delicacy of material requires that they be handled with great care.指同于原材料的轻薄精细而需要倍加小心置放。

Eg:A collection of fragile porcelain plates.一堆易碎的瓷盘。

Breakable:means capable of being broken but do not necessarily limply inherent weakness.指能被打碎的但并不必然意味着本身的易碎。

Eg:even earthenware pottery is breakable.甚至陶器也易碎。

Delicate指太柔软，纤弱或精致以致于极易被伤害的

Eg:delicate flowers.娇嫩的花朵

The peach is delicate fruit.桃子是种易受损的水果。

Brittle refers to hardness and inelasticity of material that make something especially likely to fracture or snap when it is subjected to pressure.指在受到压力时尤其可能被打碎或折断的物体原料的硬度或是无弹性；

Eg:brittle bones脆骨

---

aware侧重"感官所意识到的外界事物"

 

eg:everyboday is aware of the importance of the Four Modernizations.每个人都意识到四化的重要性.

 

conscious 侧重"心理感知"

eg:He is conscious of a sense of quilty .他感到内疚.

 

sensible指"可用感官察觉到的(较复杂或是抽象的事物)

1. Your T-shirts can easily find a market in the eastern part of our country.

I love my husband who always comes to my rescue whenever i get stuck.His defect is that he is not a rich man,but I believe he can succeed tomorrow,now his career is on the threshold,and he often works without day and night.

I expect to enter overseas-funded enterprise,so I decide to get further my English .As you know ,there is a knowledge-based economy first ,and then market-based economy is appeared.

As his wife ,I am good terms with his family,I speak to them in polite terms,therefore ,his parents spoil me very much.

When we have enough money,we will travel all over the world ,i would like to tour snow-coverd mountain of Alps.

I had two days trip  in HK.Before I heard all things in HK is very cheaper ,but I don't think so .I buy a few things there ,three dress and some medicine .Actually I went there to buy a watch as a birthday gift to my husband ,but i found the price is is very expensive,my husband love band,but it is too expensive to buy ,so i gave up.

this afternoon i wondered to call one person who i familiar very much suddenly,so I went out office to give him a call,every time we do have good conversation,even i have bad mood.

We are good friends ,but we don't contact often.But if i have something worried or unhappy,i will call him ,and so do he.But this time i don't know why ,my emotion is sunshine,why i expect to call him?

I hope we can be permanent friends.

Last day is my birthday,it was one of my memorable birthdays.I received not only flower from my husband ,but also the other gifts,one is the latest  Nokia mobile phone ,the other is bonsai.he acted is very romotic,and the time is perfect ,when the clock is twelve at night ,he appeared and gave me many surprises.

we finished our dinner as usual,and we watch DV on the bed ,when tweleve is coming ,he found a excuse to go downstair,and got a cake form the car,how surprise i am!

my sister also give me a present,i also want to thank you her kindness.

That is my first day to login this blog,hope i can write something colorful here.

Cheers,haha

Sioux Indian story ...

这是苏语系印第安人部落中流传的一个古老的故事……

 

 

My grandfather took me to the fish pond on the farm when I was about seven, and he told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone.

 

在我七岁那年，我的祖父带我去了农场的鱼池，他让我将一块石头丢进水里，他告诉我看石头所溅起的波纹，然后又让我把自己想象成那块石头。

 

"You may create lots of splashes in your life, but the waves that come from those splashes will disturb the peace of all your fellow creatures," he said.

 

他说，“在你的生命中可能会像石头那样溅起很多的波纹，但是这些波纹将会影响到其他的波纹。”。

 

"Remember that you are responsible for what you put in your circle and that circle will also touch many other circles."

 

“要记住，你要对你所引起的波纹而负责人，因为你的那些波澜会接触和影响到别人”。

 

"You will need to live in a way that allows the good that comes from your circle to send the peace of that goodness to others. The splash that comes from anger or jealousy will send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for both."

 

“你应当努力使自己波纹中的平和宁静传播给他人。当然，一旦你所溅起的波纹是由于你的怒火或者嫉妒所引起，那么你要对他们负责”。

 

That was the first time I realized that each person creates the inner peace or discord that flows out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we are riddled with inner conflict, hatred, doubt, or anger.

 

那是我第一次意识到，每个人引起的和平或者是混乱都会被传播到这个世界，如果大家都充满抵触情绪，憎恨，怀疑或者气愤，那么我们就不能给世界带来和平，

 

We radiate the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever is splashing around inside of us is spilling out into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.

 

无论我们是否说出心中的感觉和思绪，我们都在向外界传播它们。无论我们内心激起的是何种波纹，它们都会被传向这个世界，与别人的生命波纹共同激起美丽，抑或是不和谐。
