　英语四级翻译练习题：工作面试

　　在找工作的过程中，有面试，就有曙光。面试的成功与否，除了面试官如何看你的条件及个人素质外，主要取决于他们如何评价你在面试中总的表现，因此，有必要把它当作一场演出或比赛来看待，其目的是向面试官推销自己，让他们感到你是干这项工作的最佳人选。大多数人在面试中处于被动地位，竭尽全力回答提出的任何问题。一种更好的方法是控制局面，给面试官提供你想给他们的信息，而不是他们想从你这儿发现的信息：使他们有信心，绝对相信你是能胜任这项工作的人选，让他们几乎没有理由相信你不能胜任。信心不仅仅来自你作出的回答，也产生于你的外表以及你表现出来的热情、精力、自信、个人品质和雄心壮志。大多数面试者没能得到工作的主要原因就是他们没能使面试官对他们产生信心。他们败下阵来并非是他们不能胜任这项工作，而是他们对自己能胜任工作的自信没能在面试中表现出来。他们的自我推销做得还不够。大多数人之所以这样是因为他们在面试时很紧张，如果每次面试后都没有得到工作，不少人觉得自己是失败者并变的更为焦虑。这是不实际的。大多数面试者都将被拘之门外。不要想自己是否会得到这份工作。只需专心参加面试，并竭尽所能，工作自然就会有着落了。

　　参考译文：

　　In the process of finding a job, where there is an interview, there is hope. Whether you succeed or not depends not only on how the interviewers look at your qualifications and you personal qualities, mainly depend on how they evaluate your performance in interviews, therefore, it's necessary to retreat it as an performance or a contest with the aim to market yourself to the interviewers and make them feel that you are the best to do the job.Most interviewees are in the positive position and try their best to answer all the questions in the interviews. One better way is to control the situation and provide the information that you want to offer, but not the information that they want to find from you: to make them have confidence and absolutely believe that you are the best choice and to make them almost have no reason to believe you can't do it. Confidence not only comes from your answers, also from your appearance and your enthusiasm, energy, confidence, personal quality and ambition.The main reason that most interviewees can't get the job is that they can't make the interviewers become confident in them. They failed not because they can't do the job well, but because they didn't show their confidence during the interview. They didn't do self-marketing well. Most people do so because they are nervous, if they can't get the job after each interview, many people will feel that they are loser and become more anxious. It is not practical. Most interviewers will be refused. Don't think whether you can get the job or not. You only need to concentrate on interview and try your best, you naturally can get the job.

　　The traditional Chinese culture, both extensive and profound, starts far back and runs a long, long course. More than 2,000 years ago, there emerged in China Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, Taoism represented by Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, and many other theories and doctrines that figured prominently in the history of Chinese thought, all being covered by the famous term” the masters’ hundred schools.” The traditional Chinese culture presents many precious ideas and qualities, which are essentially populist and democratic. For example, they lay stress on the importance of kindness and love in human relations, on the interest of the community, on seeking harmony without uniformity and on the idea that the world is for all. Especially, patriotism as embodied in the saying ”Everybody is responsible for the rise or fall of the country”; the populist ideas that “people are the foundation of the country” and that “people are the more important than the monarch”; the code of conduct of “Treat others as you want to be treated”.And the traditional virtues taught from generation to generation:endurance and hard working diligence and frugality in household management,and respecting teachers and valuing education.All of which have played a great role in binding and regulating the family,the country and the society.
