商务英语情景口语 面试结果（2）

MB: ...ok...ok...that’s great! We’ll be pleased to have you on the team! Looking forward to seeing you next week! Bye!

PH: Was that Sarah?

MB: Yes - she’s going to accept the job, and wants to come in next week for a chat...

PH: Great news. Now you just have to tell the other guy that we don’t want him...

MB: I hate giving bad news...

PH: I’m glad that it’s your job and not mine!

MB: Ok, may as well do it straightaway... Dear Mr Watson...we regret to inform you that you have not got the job...hmmm... sounds a bit too direct. How about...‘Dear Mr Watson, Thank you for your application to WebWare. We regret to inform you that you weren’t successful.’

PH: Hmmm...I think you should say something positive.

MB : But he was terrible!

PH: Well, he wasn’t great, no, but, I think we should be positive and polite.

MB: Yes, you’re absolutely right. OK how about this ‘Dear Mr Watson, Thank you for your application to WebWare. You were a promising¹ candidate². However, we regret to inform you that the competition for the post was very strong, and we will not be offering you the position. Yours sincerely, etc etc...’

PH: Yes, that’s more like it...but we should include some feedback³...

MB: Of course – how about if I add this: “In future, you may wish to moderate⁴ your personal style, and carefully fact check your CV...” How does that sound?

PH: I’m not sure what ‘moderate your personal style’ means. It’s a bit vague⁵...

MB: Hmm...ok, how about ‘give more specific examples of your achievements, and show how you work as part of a team’.

PH: Ok, yes, I like that...and remember to finish with something like, ‘We wish you the best of luck in the future’!

MB: Of course – I certainly do wish him luck! Ok – done. I’ll send it now.

MB:好的，好的，那太好了！欢迎你加入我们的队伍！期待下周与你相见!再见！

PH:是Sarah吗？

MB:是的。她会接受这份工作，并且下周会过来交谈一下。

PH:真是好消息。现在你所要做的就是告诉另一个人我们不需要他…

MB:我讨厌报忧…

PH:幸好这是你的工作，不是我的。

MB:恩，最好还是马上就去做…尊敬的Watson先生，很遗憾的告诉您你未能得到这份工作…恩…貌似太直接了。”尊敬的Watson先生，感谢你来WebWare 应聘，我们很遗憾地告诉您，您未能成功.”这样写怎么样？

PH:恩…我觉得你应该说些积极的东西。

MB:但是他太可怕了！

PH:是啊，他当然不出色，但是我觉得我们应该积极点更加有礼貌一点。

MB:恩，你完全正确。“尊敬的Watson先生，感谢你来WebWare应聘。你是个前途无量的应聘者。但是，很遗憾的告诉你，对这个职位的竞争很激烈，你没能得到这份工作。谨启…”这样你觉得怎么样？

PH:恩，这样就比较像了，但是我们还应该写点反馈。

MB:当然。“今后，您不妨节制一点，仔细核对自己的履历…”如果加上这些，你觉得怎么样？

PH:我不太清楚”节制一点”具体是什么意思.太模糊了。

MB:恩，那好吧，那么”具体说出您所完成的事情，体现您作为一个团队的一员是起什么作用的”怎么样？

PH:恩，不错，我喜欢..记住用”祝你好运”结尾。

MB:当然，我当然希望他一帆风顺。我这就发送出去。
