As part of our series on job interviews, in this Business English Pod episode we'll be taking a closer look at the process from the HR perspective. Specifically, we'll be studying the language of reaching a decision about whom to hire. 在本集的商务英语播客中，我们将进一步深入探讨人事部对应聘的候选者的录用可能进行的分析，这本身也是求职面试的一部分。本集无门尤其要学习的是关于讨论决定雇佣谁的语言技巧。

　　A Brazilian business unit of fast moving consumer goods company Fun Beverages has recently interviewed several people for an HR manager position. Now the regional HR director, Ted, and the business unit general manager, George, are meeting to discuss the short-listed, or final, candidates. 一家名为“乐饮”的巴西快速消费品公司的业务单位最近对一些应聘人事经理的候选人进行了面试。现在区域经理泰德和业务单位的总经理乔治正在讨论这几个通过了初审的终极候选人。
