交通大学MBA英语面试讲义
-----Samuel&David
1. 基础英语学习与语感锻炼
当我们想表达一段话的时候，我们对其中的一些词汇的英文翻译还是知道的，但是我们可能对于如何快速地把他们组合起来，并且流利的表达出来，可能有点迟疑，所以，我们首先做几个小练习，拾起我们久违的语感吧。 1) 过去的5年之内，香奈儿在中国市场一直就在盈利。
the past 5 years Chanel China’s market always make profit 2) 管理者的主要任务就是领导团队实现既定的目标。
manager main task lead a team achieve set targets 3) 目前，提高我们市场份额最有效的方法之一，就是开辟新的市场。
now one of the improve explore our market share new markets most effective way 4) 近几年来上海经济的快速发展，主要是归因于大量的外资的进入。
these years foreign investment Shanghai’s economy vast inflow rapid growth mostly due to 5) 公司的成功不仅仅取决于我们的战略有多好，而在于我们是否执行它和实现它。
company great
2. 如何迅速的组织语言和表达观点
我建议前期可以使用速记的方法，把自己观点和想法的关键词记下来，然后再根据这几个关键词进行扩展和延伸。我们在使用中文聊天的时候，也是如此的，我们表达观点，都是首先朦胧有个观点的核心词，然后再滔滔不绝的表述出来。我们中文能够这么做是因为这是我们娴熟的母语，比如说别人问我：“你昨天去哪里了？”，我如果去了人民广场，那么人民广场就是我大脑中闪现出来的核心词，然后我说“我昨天人民广场瞎逛了，啥也没买，不过好多人啊，美女都杂堆了”。我们在英语方面可能还没这么娴熟，慢慢来，先把最核心的东西用最简单的方式表达出来。 How to achieve more profits? 关键词：交易额 ↑ 成本 ↓
To achieve higher profits, we need to improve our sales revenue while reduce our cost.
如果是母语国家的人，可能延伸的更加丰富：How to achieve higher profits? I guess it depends, like, first we have to make sure our sales revenue is getting high, which means more customers are buying our products,
success but not execute depend on Fulfill our strategy 文档
and at the same time, we also have to come up with ideas to reduce our cost, which will likely to further enlarge our profit margin…..
Why English is important for MBA? 关键词：MBA英文教学 √ 就职 √
It’s because, first of all, we need English to better learn our MBA classes, secondly, English will be important for us to get a better job in the future. 让我们一起来做练习：
1) How did you spend your Spring Festival?
Spring festival is the most important festival for Chinese people, there are many activities which can do, firstly, I will visit relative and have dinner with them, and secondly I will watch the spring festival gala evening on CCTV.
关键词： 团聚 会友 TV 提示：团聚 family reunion
2) What is the difference between a manager and a leader? 关键词： 领导者：战略！ 管理者：执行！
提示：a，制定战略：make a strategy b，执行：execution
I think the difference between a manager and a leader is that the manager will make a strategy, and the leader will do the execution.
3) What qualifications is a manager supposed to have? 自信心 √ 情商EQ √ 分析能力和专业知识 √ 任务分工和时间管理 √
I believe the confidence is most important to a manager, meanwhile, EQ, analytical skill, domain knowledge, time management skill and task distribution are also pay a very important role. 4) Why did Wall-Mart fail to grow big in China? 关键词： × CN消费习惯 卫星管理 ×in CN
提示：a，shopping habits b，satellites-based global management system 5) What shall we do to promote the development in western regions? 关键词： 人才→西 ↑基建 优惠政策√
提示：a，encourage talents b，infrastructure c，preferential policies 6) Why don you want to apply for a MBA degree? 关键词：↑管理知识 转行√
提示：a，management knowledge b，change career
3. 表达过程中的几个原则
1) 顺译的原则
大脑中不管想到什么，不要太在意整个句子的顺序安排，只要大体还遵循语法的规则，就按照我们的思路顺着表达出来，既可以节约时间，也可以减少停顿。
现在上海的汽车越来越多，说明人们的收入水平也越来越高。但是过多的车辆造成了严重的交通堵塞，我想政府应该管管这个事情了。
Now Shanghai’s cars are getting more and more, it means that people’s income is becoming higher and higher. But too many cars caused serious traffic jams. I think the government should do something about it. With people’s income continuously increasing, the number of cars in shanghai has witnessed rapid growth
文档
these years. Yet, the excessive growth of cars has led to serious traffic jams, and it’s time for the government 据我所知，宝洁有100多个市场研究人员，专门研究中国的消费者购物习惯。但是，你要是去51job等招聘网站，看一看国美的招聘信息，全部是招聘什么采购经理，市场部唯一招聘的可能就是促销人员，几乎没有市场调研的岗位。
2) 分拆的原则
当你大脑中的句子比较长，很难短时间理顺的话，不妨将他们分拆成几个小的简单的句子表达出来，中间使用and，but，so等简单连词串起来，而不需要去斟酌句子的结构。
我觉得这个案例中这家公司留不住人的主要原因是这家公司根本没有把员工当成是最重要的资产，同时也缺乏有效的激励机制让员工热情地工作。
I think, in this case, this company can not retain the employees, because it doesn’t treat employees as the most important asset, and…also…it doesn’t have a good incentive system, and……so…people don’t work hard.
3) 替换的原则
价格战只会造成两败俱伤。
Price war will only make both parties lose.
我觉得，案例中这个经理不太信任自己的下属，什么事情都亲自上马，不知道分权的技巧，结果自己筋疲力尽，员工却很冷漠；另外呢，他也不太清楚如何合理的分配工作，结果员工也很迷茫，不知道目标是什么。
I think, in this case, the manager doesn’t trust his people，and do everything himself. He doesn’t know how to give power to them, so….he is very tired, but his people don’t care. What’s more, he also doesn’t know how to divide jobs, so…his people don’t know what to do, and don’t know the target.
除了以上的3个原则之外，我们还要尽量使用简单的词汇，使用简单的句型。我们的目标是把想法表达出来，因此无须过度在意表达的优美。
