先预习一下本课中涉及的一些知识点吧: assistant 助理 clerk 职员 favorable impression 良好印象 Personnel Manager 人事经理 Managing Director(MD) 总裁 I'm new. 我是新来的。 to be working together. 我们将一起工作。 to look forward to doing sth. 盼望做某事 初次见面用语: Nice to meet you. 很高兴见到你。 告别时用语: It was very nice to have met you. 能见到你我真高兴 Hope to see you again. 希望能再次见到你。
第一天到公司上班,You must be nervous.你的心情一定挺紧张。怎么才能给上级和同事留下a favorable impression(良好印象)呢?西装革履的你看起来很cool,但你还是没有十分的把握。我们先来听听某家外企公司的新成员Peter King如何得体地处理他工作中的第一天。 Peter: Good Morning. May I introduce myself? My name's Peter King and I'm new here. Anna: Pleased to meet you. I'm Anna White, the assistant to the Personnel Manager.Welcome to our company. 你看,初次见面好比跳华尔兹,非常简单,就是三步曲:问候--介绍--对方回答。不过这首华尔兹在不同的场合,步伐也不相同。 在formal正式场合中, 要用:Good morning/afternoon或How do you do,同时要shaking hands"握握手"来显示你的sincerity诚意。当然不要忘了smile一下,因为微笑是消除隔阂、沟通心灵的最好方法。 而在informal非正式场合中,比如年轻人之间或平时的聚会中,我们就可以relax,放松一下,不单穿着随便,而且只需招手致意,问候语用简单的Hi, or Hello!就可以了。 另外,作为新人,应该主动与同事交往,所以要先作self introduction, 除了May I introduce myself? My name's Peter King,你还可以说: Let me introduce myself. My name's Peter. 或者I'm Peter. 作完了自我介绍,Peter希望Susan能把他介绍给经理或其他人,听听他是怎么说的: Peter: Could you introduce me to the Manager? Susan: Of course. Mr. King... Mr. White, let me introduce you to Mr. Peter King, the new clerk in your department. White: How do you do. I'm Alex White. We're going to be working together. Peter: How do you do. I've been looking forward to meeting you, Mr. White.
原来他用了句型 Could you introduce me to sb.? 这显得很有礼貌。另外你还可以这样说: 1、I haven't met your Managing Director yet. (我还没有见到你们的总裁。) 2、I don't know anyone here. You'll have to introduce me.
