分析:从这个句子的长度大家也能看出这是一个复杂句。主体结构为:anything can be used to your advantage. that you find out about the prospective employer是定语从句;during the interview状语;to show that you have bothered to master some facts about the people who you hope to work for是目的状语;who you hope to work for是另外一个定语从句修饰the people. 词组:to your advantage: 对你有利;work for sb为某人工作。
6. Do not be afraid to ask for clarification of something that has been said during the interview if you want to be sure what was implied, but do be polite. (p10)
译:面试中如果你想确切地知道某些话的含义,不要害怕请对方解释清楚,但一定要有礼貌。
分析:基本句型:not be afraid to do sth; 不要害怕去做某事;ask for clarification要求澄清;that has been said during the interview定语,修饰something; what was implied宾语;do be polite: 其中do为了强调,如:do be careful! I do love you! He does lie to us!
7. Have the letter inviting you for an interview ready to show in case there is any difficulty in communication. (p16)
译: 拿着邀请你面试的通知书,以防万一交谈出现困难时显示。
分析:这是一个祈使句。Have动词,拿着;the letter宾语;inviting you for an interview现在分词做定语;ready to show状语;in case there is any difficulty in communication条件状语从句;词组:there is some difficulty in sth/doing sth在…方面有困难。如:We have some difficulty speaking English fluently. 8. There is little likelihood that a panel of five wants to go through the process of all shaking hands with you in turn. (p20)
译:由五个人构成的专门小组几乎不可能轮流与你握手。
分析:这句话的重点在于that a panel of five ants to go through the process of all shaking hands with you in turn是一个同位语从句,是对little likelihood的解释。其中:likelihood: n 可能性,相当于possibility; go through经历; in turn:轮流。
9. Would you mind rephrasing the question, please? (p23) 译:您介意换个说法来问这个问题吗?
分析:考点mind doing sth. 如: Would you mind turning down the TV? 语法:介绍as的相关用法
