一中英惯用例句:

    Take the lift to the third floor and then make a left turn. Go along the corridor until you see the sign on your right.
  • 预测从现在起数年后紧缺的职业或技能对于许多青少年和他们的父母而言是一项棘手的任务。幸运的是，从网络、书籍和多数人所在的社区中都能获得丰富的信息，困难在于逐一筛选这些信息。
    Predicting the jobs or skills that will be in demand years from now is a tricky task for many teens, young adults and their parents. Luckily, there are rich sources of information on the Web, in books, and in most people's communities
  • 预测从现在起数年后紧缺的职业或技能对于许多青少年和他们的父母而言是一项棘手的任务。幸运的是，从网络、书籍和多数人所在的社区中都能获得丰富的信息，困难在于逐一筛选这些信息。
    the challenge is to sift through them all.
  • 麦克唐纳是在美国国家科学基金会资助开设的社区学院纳米技术课程上发现她的职业兴趣的，该基金会中的一名官员预测，在未来5年中，该领域内将出现数十万个工作机会。其它信息来源包括政府预测、中高等院校的职业顾问和在成长型行业中工作的邻居与朋友们。
    Ms. McDonald found her passion through a community-college nanotechnology program funded by the National Science Foundation, where one official foresees hundreds of thousands of job openings in the field in the next five years. Other sources include government forecasts, school or college career counselors, and neighbors and friends employed in growing fields.
  • 这些预测也有局限性。美国劳工部的宏观经济模型建立在两个重要假设的基础之上──一是经济将反弹并实现长期增长，二是不会再出现像2007－2008年经济衰退那样的大型冲击。因此，它无法预测出经济不稳定时容易发生的就业市场大幅波动或劳动力供给的突然变化。
    The forecasts have limitations. The Labor Department's macroeconomic model works on two noteworthy assumptions--that the economy will rebound to long-term growth and that there won't be any more big shocks like the 2007-2008 recession. Thus its forecasts don't predict the big job-market swings or sudden changes in the supply of workers that can easily happen in a volatile economy.
  • 这意味着可能会发生这种情况：当你进入大学时，从劳工部的“需求增长最快的职业”名单中选好了一种职业，但当你毕业时，却发现这一行业的需求锐减。例如，一名2006届高中毕业生浏览美国政府发布的2004－2014年护理行业预测时，会看到当时对该职业前景的预测很乐观，理由是资深护士即将退休，因而预计会产生“成千上万的工作机会”。
    That means you could pick a job from the Labor Department's "fastest-growing" list when you enter college, only to find the field in a slump by the time you graduate. For example, a 2006 high-school graduate eyeing the government's 2004-2014 forecast for nursing at that time would have read about excellent job prospects, with "thousands of job openings" predicted because experienced nurses were expected to retire.
  • 根据新近一项对国际商业机器公司在75个国家的22，436名员工进行的研究发现，在员工是否可以有部分时间在家办公这个问题上，各人的极限点差异很大。
    Based on new research on 22,436 IBM employees in 75 countries, many people do, and that breaking point varies dramatically based on whether employees are free to work from home part of the time, or not.
  • 研究人员得出了惊人的发现。他们发现，与完全在办公室工作的人相比，在工作和家庭出现冲突之前，实行弹性工作制的在家办公者每周可以多挤出19个小时工作。研究的主持者之一是杨百翰大学家庭生活学院教授、工作家庭问题资深研究人士希尔。
    In a startling finding, researchers discovered telecommuters on flextime schedules can cram in 19 more hours of work a week, compared with people who work entirely in the office, before they begin to report work-family conflict. The study was co-authored by E. Jeffrey Hill, a professor in the School of Family Life at Brigham Young University and a long-time researcher on work-family issues.
  • 在发电子邮件，做演讲，甚至在写个贴在办公室墙上的友情小提醒时，都需要选择一种字体。如何选择恰当的字体成了让人头疼的事情。
    Picking the right font for your email, presentation, or friendly notice stuck on the office wall can be head-aching.
  • 字体形状千差万别，大小不一，颜色各异。但这不意味着你可以随心所欲，选择使用任何字体：以下几种字体就不建议使用。
    Fonts come in all shapes and sizes and colours. But that doesn't mean you're allowed to go mad and use just ANY font though: these ones are banned.
  • 在web2.0风靡的时代，TimesNewRoman这种字体已经不大适合用了。这种字体显得有些粗陋，每个字母都有很锐利的扭曲，显得怪怪的，很难看。选用一些漂亮的字体吧，比如VerdanaorCalibri，让Times回家吃饭吧！
    1: Times New Roman Times New Roman is rarely appropriate in a futuristic web2.0-enabled society. It's clumsy, and has weird ugly sharp twisty bits coming off each of the letters. Pick something properly classy like Verdana or Calibri, and let Times die.
  • 已经陪伴我们太久了。如今，在使用这个字体时，人们常会顺理成章地联想到这个场景：一名中年男子抛弃了他的妻子，换了位更年轻，更性感的模特作伴。因此，Arial作为一种字体，与衣着邋遢的、心灰意冷的弃妇有异曲同工之妙。
    Arial
  • 每个你用Payrus键入的字看起来都像古希腊语－－尽管像是由一个“未来机器人”写下来的。
    3: Papyrus Papyrus makes everything you type look like it was written in Ancient Greece!, albeit by a ROBOT FROM THE FUTURE.
  • 如果你在使用这个字体，那一不做二不休，干脆字体颜色选成绿色，然后在你的e－mail下方签名中写“Savethetrees!Pleasedon'tprintthise－mailunlessyoureallyneedto..”(爱护树木，人人有责！除非确实需要，否则请勿打印此邮件。)，这样一来，好像你的每封邮件都具有打印价值了一样。
    If you're using it, why not go whole hog and flip the colour to green and write "Save the trees! Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to." in your email signature like any of your emails are worth printing off.
  • 在不能使用的字体中，这是爷字辈的人物。最初，人们设计ComicSans字体，是为了让其快速在连环画册中抢占一席之地，成为其专用字体。但很快，人们便发觉，这个字体被随处滥用，已经引起人的视觉疲劳了。如今，除了在办公室里，人们还用它写写没人关注的通知外，在其他领域，这种字体已经销声匿迹了。
    4: Comic Sans The granddaddy of all unusable fonts. Initially intended to be a quick comic book substitute, Comic Sans quickly found itself overused to the point of eye-bleeding saturation, and is now rarely seen outside the realm of ignorant office notes.
  • 读不太懂他们写的是什么也无妨，因为能选择这种荒唐字体的人，一般来说，也没什么重要的事情要讲。
    It doesn't matter that you can't actually read what they're writing, because the sort of person that chooses a nonsense font like this invariably hasn't got anything important to say anyway.
  • 一言以蔽之：选择字体时一定要细心。因为一旦选错了字体，你便会看起来像个大笨蛋。
    In short: be careful about which fonts you use, because the wrong one makes you look like a proper wally.
  • 你的顾客都是怎样一些人？
    Who are your customers?
  • 下一步计划怎么做？

  • 职场是一个充满压力的地方，无论你在何处奔波生计－－办公室，工厂还是校园。适当的压力是好事，它能够激发我们，使我们变得更强。但过度的压力就很糟了，它会让我们失去理性，毫不夸张地讲它甚至可以击垮我们。幸好，我们可以做一些力所能及的事来排解工作压力，更好地来对抗它。
    Work can be a stressful place, wherever you earn your living, whether in an office, a factory, or a school. Some stress is good. It motivates us and makes us stronger. Too much stress is bad. It makes us irrational and it can, quite literally, kill us. Fortunately, there are specific things you can do that will help you reduce your stress at work and better cope with it.
  • 不管是在巨大工作量面前不知所措也好，或是遭遇他人的挑衅，你最好深吸一口气。这样你就不会大动肝火了。否则，不呼吸新鲜的氧气，你体能将会下降。
    Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work you have to do or if someone is "in your face", a good thing to do is to "breathe through your nose". You can't get as worked up if you force yourself to breathe through your nose. Your body simply can't maintain the same level of energy without that extra oxygen you get when breathing through your mouth.
  • 这是减少你精神压力的又一诀窍，在工作中你也会因此受益颇多。除了减少压力，保证睡眠还可以增强体能，提高注意力。
    This is another of the things you can do to reduce your overall stress that will have benefits at the office as well. In addition to reducing your stress, it will increase your energy level and your ability to concentrate.
  • 2010.满意的薪水、专业的培训、完善的福利－－大型跨国公司及国有企业开出的这些极具吸引力的条件使得高校学生无不为之神往。但根据人力资源咨询公司麦可思的一项调查显示，2010年有约半数的毕业生在私企供职。
    Handsome pay, professional training, good benefits – appealing packages offered by large multinational and state-owned companies make them the most desired employers among college students. But according to the annual graduate survey by employment research company MyCOS, about half of all graduates will end up working for privately-owned enterprises in

    After getting his master's degree in computer science from Beijing University of Technology in 2009, Zhang signed a job contract with a Nasdaq-listed private company in Beijing.
  • 人事经理曾口头许诺要给他解决北京户口问题，或者北京北京工作居住证。但这些承诺到头来只是一张空头支票。此外，公司曾许诺他的奖金也缩水了一半。
    The HR manager promised him in words that he would get a hukou, or a permanent residence permit in Beijing. But the promise turned out to be an empty one. In addition, the incentive payment Zhang was promised was also cut in half.
  • 但如果只是一份不含细节的制式合同，你应要求该公司将承诺写入聘用书中。
    But if it's a standard contract that doesn't include these details, you should ask the company to list the promises in the offer letter.
  • 最后一点是可以录下与人事经理的谈话音频。但张骞不提倡同学们这么做，除非别无选择。
    The last option is to take an audio recording of the HR manager's words. But Zhang doesn't recommend that students do this, unless there is no other way to solve the problem.

  • 曾在北京一家公司任总经理助理的他表示：“我坚信在私企工作要比国企更具挑战性。这些小型企业人员有限，你不得不同时担当起多种角色。”
    “I believe the work in privately-owned enterprises is more challenging than that in state-owned enterprises. You have to take up several different roles at the same time because of the shortage of labor in these small enterprises,” said Zhang, who worked as the general manager's assistant in a Beijing-based company.
