Sorry, I'm late. My phone ran of battery, I wanted to call.
不好意思，我遲到了。我的手機沒電了，我想打個電話。
No, no questions, I'm pretty keen to get out of here. This is really important.
不，沒有問題，我只想快點離開這裡。這通電話真的很重要。
Might just take this. Do you mind? Hello? Oh hi mum!
我得接這個電話啊。你介意嗎？嗨？嗨媽媽！
Hello, I'm Emma from mmmEnglish. Today we're going to be talking about going to a job interview.
大家好，我是Emma，歡迎來到Emma的美味英語。今天我們將要討論參加工作面試的事情。
Now if you've ever done this before, I want you to think of one word that describes the experience, an adjective, just one that summarises the experience of going to an interview.
Or maybe you can share an emoji that summarises the experience.
如果你們之前參加過面試的話，希望大家想一個詞來描述這段經歷，就是一個形容詞，一個就行，可以總結參加面試的經歷。或者你也可以發一個能夠代表那段經歷的表情。
The interview is just like a conversation but there's the added pressure of being professional, saying all of the things that your future employer wants to hear and of course, doing all of this while being true to yourself and authentic.
So doing all of this is stressful enough in your own native language but doing it in your second language must take things to a whole new level.
面試就像對話一樣，但是會有要表現得專業的壓力，要說那些你未來的老闆想要聽到的話，當然了，在這麼做的同時，也要對自己真誠，要說真話。用母語做這些事情就已經壓力夠大了，但是如果是用第二語言的話，肯定難度會再升一個等級的。
But the tips that I'm sharing today are really relevant to anyone who's preparing for a job or for an interview.
Now, of course planning and practice helps you to prepare for an interview.
但是我今天要分享的這些小竅門真的和那些正在準備參加工作面試的人非常相關。當然了，計劃和練習能夠幫助你們為面試準備。
It's excellent to have an idea of what you're going to say but in an interview, there are also plenty of things to steer clear of, right?
There are plenty of things that you definitely shouldn't say or do.
大概知道自己要說什麼是很棒的，但是在面試當中，有很多事情必須要避免，對吧？有很多話你絕對不能說，有一些事情絕對不能做。
Today, we're going to talk about three of the worst things that you can possibly say or do when you go to an English interview.
We're going to talk a little bit about your interview strategy and practise some phrases that you can use to make a really good impression.
今天呢，我們要討論你們參加英文面試可能會說的或者是可能會做的三件最糟糕的事情。我們要討論一點點面試策略，練習一些你們可以使用的給別人留下好印象的短語。
Last call everyone. This is an important announcement from our good friends at Lingoda who want you to know that due to high demand, the deadline to register for the upcoming Language Marathon has been extended to the 19th of September which is next week.
最後的召喚了，朋友們。這是一條來自我們的老朋友Lingoda的重要通知，他們希望大家知道因為大家的高需求，下一次語言馬拉松的報名截止時間延長了，現在是到了9月19號，也就是下周。
So the Lingoda Marathon is your chance to speak English or German or Spanish or French more fluently in just three months.
Plus, if you finish the Marathon, you can earn up to a hundred percent of your money back.
Lingoda語言馬拉松是在三個月之內學會更流利地說英語、德語、西班牙語和法語的好機會。除此之外，如果你們完成馬拉松的話，可以把自己的錢全都給拿回來。
So what is the Marathon? What's it like and is it worth it?
Well if you're a regular viewer here at mmmEnglish, you'll know that I took part in the Marathon back in May and it was one of the best things that I ever did.
所以什麼是馬拉松呢？它是什麼樣子的？真的值得嗎？如果你們是美味英語頻道的常客的話，你們肯定知道我五月份的時候參加了馬拉松，它是我做過的最棒的事情之一。
With my hectic schedule, the main benefit for me was committing to taking a Spanish class every single day and of course, the motivation to keep showing up for those classes because I won't lie to you, the Marathon is tough.
In fact, the hardest part of the Marathon was that it really forced me to be organised, much more organised than I usually am because you have to book your classes in advance, you can't just show up on the day and at whatever time you feel like.
因為我煩亂的日程，我最大的獲益就是能夠每一天都參加西班牙語課程，當然了，一直出現的動機是因為我不想對你們撒謊，馬拉松真的挺難的。事實上，馬拉松最困難的部分就是它迫使我變得有組織有計劃起來，比我通常的情況要有組織性很多，因為需要自己提前預定課程，不能根據自己的心情某天什麼時候隨便出現在課堂上。
If you've looked into the Marathon before, you'll know that they have small group class sizes, maximum of five students per class and qualified native teachers who are really friendly and with you every step of the way.
What you may not know is that the entry rules have changed a little.
如果你們之前看過馬拉松的話，你們肯定知道他們班級規模很小，每節課最多五個人，而且都是有資質的母語老師，他們人都很好，每一步都陪著你。你們可能不知道的是準入規則有所改變。
Now you can get full details on how the marathon works, what it costs by clicking on the link in the description below.
And if you make sure you use this code here when you register, you'll be supporting mmmEnglish and you'll also get a ten Euro discount on your deposit too.
你們可以點擊下方描述區的連結了解更多的馬拉松的運作方式以及花費。如果你們在註冊的時候使用下面這個邀請碼的話，這就是在表示對於美味英語頻道的支持，而且你們在交押金的時候可以得到十歐元的折扣。
So good luck! Alright, now I want to talk very quickly about the two roles that people play in an interview.
祝你好運哦！好的，現在我想非常迅速地說一下大家在面試中扮演的兩個角色。
The first is the person who is asking all of the questions we call them the interviewer, the interviewer.
And then there's the person receiving the questions and answering them.
第一個是問問題的人，我們稱之為面試官。然後就是聽問題回答問題的人。
We call them the interviewee. Okay, that's you, the interviewee.
我們稱之為面試者。好的，那就是你，參加面試的人。
So when I interview a new teacher to join my team, I'm the interviewer and they are the interviewee. So you'll hear me use these words throughout the lesson.
So just remember which one's which, okay?
所以當我面試要加入我的團隊的新老師的時候，我就是面試官，他們就是參加面試的人。你們會聽到我在本節課程中一直使用這些詞彙。所以一定要記住了哪個是哪個，好嗎？
One of the worst things that you can say or do in an interview is be apologetic, to be sorry about something that you just don't need to be sorry about. Sorry, I'm late.
你們在面試中說的或者做的最糟糕的一件事情就是道歉，對你不需要道歉的事情道歉。不好意思，我遲到了。
Sorry, my English is really bad. Sorry, I'm feeling really nervous.
不好意思，我的英語真的很差。不好意思，我真的非常緊張。
I don't know. Sorry.?And although being sorry is polite in many other circumstances and being vulnerable and honest about your feelings is also important sometimes and even though the interviewer may understand, in English, using the word 'sorry' changes the tone of a conversation and especially in the context of an interview.
我不知道，不好意思。儘管在很多其他的情況說道歉是禮貌，示弱、對自己的感覺誠實表達有時候也非常重要，儘管面試官可能也理解，但是在英文中，使用『道歉』這個詞會改變對話的語調，尤其是在面試的情境中。
It just adds a negative perspective to things that you're talking about and it makes you look bad or worse than you need to.
So in an interview, any kind of apology really makes you seem unsure of yourself, flustered, it can even make the interviewer feel a little uncomfortable.
這會給你正在談論的事情帶來一種負面的觀點，這會讓你看起來比需要的更糟糕。所以在面試當中，任何形式的道歉都會讓你看起來對自己不確定，慌慌張張的，它甚至會讓面試官感覺有點點不舒服。
Sorry, I think I forgot to brush my teeth this morning. The interview should be a positive experience for everyone, for you and for them.
不好意思，我覺得我早晨好像忘記刷牙了。面試對於所有人來說都應該是一個積極的經歷，不管是對你，還是對他們。
So you may not realise it, but in English you can be late or you can be nervous without apologizing for it. So I want to show you some alternative expressions to try.
所以你可能沒有意識到，但是在英文中，你們可能遲到了，或者是很緊張，但是不需要為之道歉。我想給大家展示一些替代性的表達。
Thank you so much for your patience, I made it.
My English tends to get a little shaky during interviews so I might ask you to repeat every now and again, if that's okay?
非常感謝您的耐心，我做到了。在面試的時候我的英語可能有點不太好，我可能會時不時地讓您重複一下問題，這樣可以嗎？
Well, I'm excited about this interview, what should we talk about? To be honest, I don't know the answer right now.
好的，我對面試感到非常激動，我們應該談論什麼呢？說實話，我現在還不知道答案。
I need a little bit more time to think about it. Can you see the difference?
We're responding to exactly the same situation, but we're doing it in a much more positive way so practise these expressions a few times so that you've got them ready for action just in case you need them during your interview.
我需要一點點時間來思考。你能看到其中的差異嗎？我們回應的是相同的情況，但是我們是以一種更加積極的方式處理的，所以多練習幾次這些表達，這樣你們就可以準備好了，以防在面試的時候需要用到它們。
And, if you're really, really feeling like you need to apologise for something then don't say "Sorry", use "My apologies" instead.
It's just a little more formal and a little more appropriate for an interview.
如果你們真的真的感覺需要道歉的話，那就不要說『抱歉』，要說『不好意思』。它更加正式一點點，而且在面試中也更加合適。
Now the second worst thing that you can do during an interview is to make yourself the most important thing in the room, especially when the interviewer is trying to understand why you want the job.
So tell me Emma, what motivated you to apply for this position?
你們在面試中可能會做的第二件很糟糕的事情就是把自己當成房間裡面最重要的人，尤其是當面試官想要理解你們為什麼想要這份工作的時候。所以告訴我Emma，你申請這份工作的動機是什麼呢？
Well, my grandma's really sick and I have to help pay for her hospital bills, so I really need the job. My current boss is a total nightmare.
額，我奶奶病了，我需要給她付醫療費，所以我真的需要這份工作。我現在的老闆真的是個噩夢。
I just, I can't wait to get out of there.
Well, I want to learn more about marketing because I want to launch my own business and I feel like I can do that sooner if I, you know, learn from you guys.
我迫不及待地想要逃離那個鬼地方了。好的，我想要了解更多關於營銷的知識，因為我想要自己創業，我感覺如果能從你們身上學習的話，我就可以更快地開始創業了。
You guys have got such great marketing! Actually, I've already got a job so it's not that I need it but I've got a bit of spare time during my week and this job could be a good filler.
你們的營銷做得非常好！其實，我現在已經有工作了，並不是我需要這份工作，但是我每周有一點閒暇時間，剛好這份工作可以填補上。
Now maybe you do need the cash, maybe you are really desperate to learn a particular skill. Maybe this would be the perfect job to fit your schedule.
可能你們真的需要錢的，可能你們迫切地想要學習一門特定的技能。可能這份工作能夠完美地契合你的日程。
But please don't tell them that, right?
Save these kinds of comments for the conversations that you have with your friends after the interview.
但是不要告訴他們，好嗎？把這些評論留到面試結束去和朋友對話的時候說。
Try to avoid saying "I want" or "I need" during an interview. It's not about you. Okay?
在面試的時候儘量不要說『我想』或者是『我需要』。面試並不是關於你的，對吧？
The interviewer is a lot more interested in what you can do for them rather than how the job is going to benefit you.
So when you're talking about why you want the job, make sure you talk about how your goals and your ambitions can be valuable to them and what they want.
面試官對你能為他們做什麼更感興趣，而不是這份工作怎麼能夠令你獲益。當你們在討論為什麼你想要這份工作的時候，一定要談論你的目標和志向是怎麼對他們以及他們想要的東西有價值的。
So let's look at a few different alternatives. I just love the story and the concept behind this brand.
所以讓我們看看一些不同的替代表達吧。我喜歡公司品牌蘊含的故事和概念。
I'd love to contribute to the growth of such an exciting company. Well, I learned a lot from my last employer and I really think that I can apply those skills to this role and get a great outcome for you guys.
我想要為這樣一個令人激動的公司的發展做出自己的貢獻。我從我上一任老闆身上學到了很多，我覺得我可以將這些技巧運用到這個角色當中，為大家帶來好的結果。
Actually this place seems like somewhere where my skills would be a great fit and I'm excited to take on some new challenges too.
This position seems really interesting, I'd literally rearrange my schedule for the chance to be involved.
其實看起來我的技能非常適合這個地方，我也對迎接新的挑戰感到非常激動。這個職位看起來非常有趣，我已經重新規劃了我的日程，只為能夠得到這個機會加入其中。
Can you see the difference? When you express these types of attitudes, most interviewers would feel excited and optimistic about the contribution that you can make to their team.
你們能看到不同嗎？當你們表達這些類型的態度的時候，大多數的面試官都會對你們能夠為他們的團隊做出的貢獻感到非常激動，非常樂觀。
And finally, the third worst thing that you can say or do during an interview. Alright, well before we wrap things up, do you have any questions that you'd like to ask me?
最後，第三件可能在面試的時候做的很糟糕的事情。好的，在我們結束之前，你有什麼問題想要問我嗎？
No. No questions.
沒有。沒有問題。
No, I think I've got a pretty good understanding. Questions.
不，我覺得我已經理解的很好了。問題。
Questions. No, not really. No.
問題。沒有，沒有，真的。
So what exactly do you guys do around here?
Never ever go into an interview without at least one or two great questions prepared so that you can ask them to the interviewer yourself.
那你們在這裡到底又是在做什麼呢？永遠都要準備著至少一兩個問題去參加面試，這樣你們就可以像面試官一樣問他們問題了。
This is your chance to become the interviewer for a few minutes and even if you don't have any specific questions, that shouldn't stop you from at least showing interest in asking questions.
This is how we show interest in other people and in the context of an interview that is exactly what you need to be doing. You want to show interest.
這是你們可以短暫地扮演面試官幾分鐘的好機會，即使你沒有任何特定的問題，那也不應該阻止你們表示對問問題的興趣。這就是我們如何表示對於其他人的興趣的方式，在面試的情境中，這就是你們所需要做的事情。你們想要表示自己的興趣。
You want to be curious about the job. So are you married? You've got kids?
你們想要對這份工作有好奇心。你結婚了嗎？你有孩子了嗎？
That's too curious! But curious and interested enough to generate some good discussion about the interviewer, about the company that they work for or about the position.
那也過於好奇了！但是要表示出足夠的好奇心和興趣來激發更好的和面試官之間的討論，關於他們工作的公司或者是關於職位。
So the best way to do this is with open-ended questions. An open-ended question is one that the person answering can't answer in just a few words.
所以這樣做的最好的方式就是問開放性問題。開放性問題是那種別人沒法用隻言片語可以回答的問題。
Okay, they need to explain or express something, give an opinion a perspective or a reason. Closed questions are answered with yes or no.
好的，他們需要解釋或者是表達，發表觀點或者是給出原因。封閉性問題是可以用是或者否回答的問題。
Do you like working here? This is a closed question. Right?
你喜歡在這裡工作嗎？這是個封閉性問題，對吧？
It's limited. But "What motivates you to keep working here?" is an open-ended question.
它是有限的。但是「你在這裡一直工作的動力是什麼？」是一個開放性問題。
Alright, can you see the difference? The answer is going to be much different.
好的，你能看到其中的不同嗎？答案會非常地不同。
So I want you to practice these ones with me. Sure, I've got a few questions.
我希望大家和我一起練習一下。當然了，我準備了一些問題。
What's the work culture like here? Actually, yes, how would you describe the management style here?
這裡的工作文化是怎麼樣的呢？是的，你覺得這裡的管理風格是怎樣的呢？
Yes, I was wondering what the company's five-year plan is and how does this role fit into it? Yeah, I've got one more question.
是的，我在想公司的五年計劃是什麼，以及這個工作如何能夠融入其中？是的，我還有一個問題。
What kinds of opportunities are there to learn and grow in my role? What's the company's position on professional development?
So questions like these, open-ended questions, allow you to direct the conversation to the interviewer and give yourself a bit of a break from being under the spotlight.
我這個角色有什麼機會學習和成長呢？公司的職業發展是什麼路徑呢？這種問題，這種開放性問題能夠讓你將對話引到面試官那裡，讓自己有喘息的機會。
So that was three things that you should definitely avoid during interviews.
So while you're preparing for an English job interview, I want you to make sure that you consciously try to avoid those different scenarios.
這就是在面試中要避免的三件事情。當你們準備英文工作面試的話，大家一定要有意識地避免這些不同的情境。
Now have you got any advice about what to say or perhaps what not to say during an interview?
I'd love to hear about it so make sure you share it in the comments below and if you enjoyed this lesson, make sure you let me know by giving it a like and leaving a comment down below.
關於在面試中應該說什麼不應該說什麼，你們有什麼建議嗎？我想要聽大家說一下呢，大家一定要在評論區分享哦，如果你們喜歡這節課程的話，那就讓我知道吧，點個讚，留個評論。
I'm thinking about making some more videos to help you perform better at interviews so if you like the sound of that then let me know.
But in the meantime you can jump right into another professional English lesson right there.
我在考慮再出幾個視頻幫助大家在面試中表現更好，如果你們喜歡的話，一定要讓我知道呢。但是同時呢，你們也可以看一下另外一節職業英文課程。
I'll see you in there!
再見啦！
