官中英慣用例句:
  • 面試中過度微笑會被視作緊張和缺乏自信的表現。一個人滿臉堆笑會讓人感覺很假，而這些很快會被面試官發現。你需要表現得有思想並且令人愉悅。該笑的時候再去笑。先在鏡子或朋友面前練習練習。
    Excessive smiling in a job interview is seen for what it is--nervousness and a lack of confidence. A smiley-face person exudes phoniness, which will quickly be picked up by the interviewer. Instead be thoughtful and pleasant. Smile when there's something to smile about. Do a practice run in front of a mirror or friend.
  • 幽默往往是十分主觀的東西，雖然它可能讓你的面試有一個幽默的開始，但你一定要小心你的笑料。你可能對面試官的敏感度一無所知，就更別提什麽能博得他們大笑了。可另一方面，沒有什麽會比一點點笑聲更能緩解面試時的緊張，所以，說“真是面試的好天氣”這樣的話，你能至少贏得一點禮貌的笑聲。
    Humor tends to be very subjective, and while it may be tempting to lead your interview with a joke you've got to be careful about your material. You probably will know nothing about the sensibilities of your interviewer, let alone what makes them laugh. On the other hand, nothing disarms the tension of a job interview like a little laughter, so you can probably score at least a courtesy chuckle mentioning that it's "perfect weather for a job interview!"
  • 一般來說，出語傷人者被看作一位背後捅刀子的人，通常會把別人的功勞占為己有。面試時，這種人忍不住要說前雇主的“壞話”。如果你把上一份工作形容成地球上的地獄，那麽面試官也許會打電話給他們，看看誰纔是真正的惡魔。
    Normally the switchblade is thought of a backstabber, often taking credit for someone else's work. In an interview setting, the switchblade can't help but "trash talk" his former employer. If you make it seem like your former workplace was hell on Earth, the person interviewing you might be tempted to call them to find out who was the real devil.
  • 由於美聯儲官員承認流動性緊縮有所加劇，交易員猜測會出現經濟衰退，因此，市場認為美聯儲將再次降息50個基點。這引發了最近的上漲。不過，這種猜測正在漸漸降溫：期貨價格顯示市場預計降息25個基點、而非50個基點。
    With Fed governors admitting that the liquidity squeeze had intensified and traders betting on a recession, markets decided that another 50bp cut must be forthcoming. That sparked the latest rally. But that speculation is dimming: futures are pricing a cut of 25bp not 50bp.
