如何自然又不失礼的与初次见面的人寒暄,是职场必备技能,本期「英文小教室」将告诉您,如何自我介绍,并且为他人引见,让您成为破冰高手。
Scenario 1:Greetings & Self-introduction(情境一:寒暄 & 介绍自己)
新进同仁Sabrina刚从台湾转调到美国分公司任职,我们来看看她如何自然地破冰,并介绍自己。
Sabrina: Nice to meet you, Mr. White. I’m Sabrina Wang. I just transferred from Taiwan, I’m a new administrator here. (很高兴见到你,白先生。我是Sabrina 王,从台湾转调过来,在行政单位任职。)
Alan: Please call me Alan! I’m a senior Administrator. (请叫我Alan!我是行政处的资深同仁。)
Sabrina: Oh, that’s nice. How’s everything going?(喔,太好了。这里一切都好吗?)
Alan: Pretty good so far. We’re working on a big project lately. (一切都很顺利。我们最近正在进行一个大专案。)
Sabrina: Wow, that’s great!(哇!那真是太好了!)
此时,行政处主管Charles 走进会议室……
Alan: Good morning, Mr. Peterson. Sir, this is Sabrina Wang. Sabrina, this is Charles Peterson. He’s the Head of Administration Department. (早安,Peterson先生,这是Sabrina。Sabrina,这是Charles Peterson,他是行政处最高主管。)
Sabrina: It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir.(很高兴认识您。)
Charles: It’s a pleasure to meet you, too.(我也很高兴认识你。)
Scenario 2:Office Tour(情境二: 介绍办公室环境)
Charles: We’ll have Alan to show you around. He’ll also introduce the company’s products and service to help you get yourself ready. (稍後我会请Alan为你介绍办公环境,以及本公司提供的产品和服务,让你更容易进入状况。)
Sabrina: That’ll be wonderful. I really appreciate it! (那真是太好了,谢谢您。)
Alan: Let me show you around and introduce you to everyone.(那我带你参观一下,顺便认识其他的同事们。)
Sabrina: Great! Thank you.(好的,谢谢您。)
Grammar(文法补给站)
1. We use ‘a/an’ when we are introducing a job position that is held by multiple people. Example : “I am a salesperson.”(句子中使用 ‘a/an’,表示是公司部门中,众多相关职务的其中一个。例如:我是个销售员。)
2. We use ‘the’ when we are introducing a job position that is held only by just ONE person. Example: “I am the HR Head.”(当句子中使用’the’,表示是该名词唯一的人,例如:我是人资部门的主管。)
句型延伸
第一次见面的问候语,除了Nice to meet you,还能用哪些句子?以下介绍几种不同的说法与回应方式,最容易记的方式即是在句子後面加上‘too’.
例一:
A: It's a pleasure to meet you.
B: It's a pleasure to meet you, too.
例二:
A: It's an honor to meet you.
B: Pleased to meet you, too
例三:
A: It’s very nice to meet you.
B: Good to meet you, too.
职场小叮咛
商务场合中,需要介绍双方时,应该先向最重要或职位较高者问候,再为其介绍。介绍顺序是:将主人介绍给客人,将部属介绍给职位比较高的主管,而且介绍方式必须一致,最好包含职称和全名。例如:this is ___(加上名字与职称)。
