Today on Real Easy English, we're talking about job interviews.
今天在《Real Easy English》节目中，我们要聊聊工作面试。
Job interviews...
工作面试啊……
they're quite hard, aren't they?
挺难的，对吧？
They are.
确实。
They're a little bit stressful.
有点让人紧张。
Very stressful.
非常紧张。
But first, before we get started, we need to remind our listeners and our watchers that there is a transcript and a worksheet and activities over on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
不过开始之前，我们先要提醒听众和观众，我们的网站bbclearningenglish.com上有文字稿、练习题和相关活动。
So, Becca, job interviews – how do they make you feel?
那么Becca，工作面试让你感觉如何？
Ooh, they make me feel a little bit nervous, Neil.
哦，会让我有点紧张，Neil。
Nervous?
紧张？
Is that because it's an important thing and you really want it to go well, so it's that feeling of being worried that it won't go well?
是因为这件事很重要，你特别希望顺利，所以担心会出问题吗？
Exactly.
没错。
And I think it is natural to be nervous and natural to worry a little bit, because if you're not worried, it means that you don't care.
我觉得紧张和有点担心都是正常的，因为如果你不担心，反而说明你不在乎。
That's true, yeah.
那倒是真的。
And it's actually...
而且实际上……
it's a really strange situation, a job interview, because you meet these people, who you don't know, and you have to be friendly and smiley and show that you're a nice person,
工作面试是个挺奇怪的场合，你要见一些陌生人，必须表现得友好亲切，展示你是个好人，
but also that you are serious and you can do the job.
但同时又要显得认真可靠，能胜任工作。
And it is difficult to find that balance between being very friendly and also seeming very confident in yourself.
要在非常友好和显得自信之间找到平衡确实不容易。
What are some common questions that you might be asked in an interview?
面试中常会被问到哪些问题？
So, a really common interview question is, Why do you want this job?
一个非常常见的面试问题是：你为什么想要这份工作？
and it's a good question because if you don't want the job, it means that you're lying immediately and that's not a good sign.
这个问题问得好，因为如果你不想要这份工作，那就说明你当场就在撒谎，这可不是个好迹象。
So, I think that's a really good question, but it can be difficult to answer so you should probably be prepared and think about it before the interview.
所以我觉得这确实是个很好的问题，但可能不太好回答，所以你最好提前准备一下，面试前先想清楚。
I think with that question as well, it's really important to be confident in your answer, because there will be lots of people who are answering that same question as well.
我觉得回答这个问题时，自信真的很重要，因为会有很多人被问到同样的问题。
Yeah, absolutely.
没错，完全同意。
And also, it's a little bit false when you are talking in an interview because you are answering the questions, but you're also trying to display lots of things, so you're trying to tell someone about your skills and your experience,
而且面试时的对话多少有点不自然，因为你在回答问题，但同时也在努力展示很多东西，比如试图告诉对方你的技能和经验。
for example.
举个例子。
Yeah.
对。
Your skills are the things that you can do that will make you good for the job.
技能是指那些能让你胜任这份工作的能力。
And the experience, of course, is if you have done this kind of thing before.
经验当然就是指你以前是否做过类似的工作。
Yeah.
是的。
And usually you'll give the interviewer your CV, your cover letter, which is a piece of paper that has your skills and experiences, but they'll still ask you about these things, and they'll want a little bit of a more detailed explanation so that
通常你会给面试官你的简历和求职信，上面列出了你的技能和经验，但他们还是会问这些问题，并且希望得到更详细的解释，
they can get to know you a bit more.
这样他们就能更了解你一些。
Yeah.
没错。
And what they really want is examples.
他们真正想要的是具体例子。
So, I think it's very easy to say, Oh, you should do this or you should do this in this situation.
所以我觉得光说'这种情况下你应该这么做'很容易，
