商务英语播客 第126课:行政助理的职责(上)

Source: 恒星英语学习网    2012-03-08  我要投稿   论坛   Favorite  

This is the first in a two-part Business English Pod series on the work of administrative assistants. We'll be looking at vocabulary and collocations related to office duties and daily routines. 这是有关行政助理商务英语播客系列的前部半分。我们讲学习办公责任和例行公事的词汇及其搭配。

Before we start, let's talk a bit about collocations. Collocations are groups of words that are commonly used together. Native speakers are so used to using them, they know what sounds "right" and what sounds "wrong."
在我们开始之前,我们来谈下搭配。搭配是指常用的词组搭配到一起。当地人很习惯于用这些,他们知道什么的搭配听起来是对的,什么是错的。

For example, in English the phrase "go online" is a natural way to refer to using the internet. But it wouldn't be natural to say something like "proceed online" or "travel online", even though "proceed" and "travel" are other ways to express “go.” You’ll hear lots of collocations related to office life in today's dialog. Listen out for them and we'll explain what they mean and how to use them in the debrief. 比如,英语中的短语上网,就是使用网络的意思,甚至用前进和旅游来表达这个意思。在今天的播客中,你将听到很多和办公生活有关的搭配。仔细听,我们将会解释它们的意思以及如何在听取报告的时候使用它

Now, on to the role of an administrative assistant. The job title of "administrative assistant", or "admin assistant" for short, can cover quite a broad range of responsibilities. Admin assistants typically spend a lot of time handling data—whether it's timesheets recording the working hours of other employees, or rosters used for scheduling meeting rooms. Much of what they do involves making sure that other employees are working as efficiently as possible. 现在,来谈谈一个行政助理的职责。通常他们要花很长时间处理数据,不论是日程表记录,雇员的工作时间,还是会议地点安排的执勤人员表。这些很多都牵涉到确认是否有效地工作。

In this episode we'll talk with Christina, who works as an admin assistant in the human resources department of an auto parts manufacturer. Christina's going to tell us about some of the responsibilities of her position. 在这节播客中,我们将和克里斯蒂娜交谈,她是汽车配件生产商的人事部的行政助理。克里斯蒂娜将会告诉我们有关她职责的细节。

Listening Questions
1. What is Christina's first task every day?
2. How many employees are on the sales team?
3. When is the deadline for personal leave day requests?
