BBC白领工作英语第 52 集：再见 Denise! 求职指点用语
Narrator: 欢迎大家回到我们白领英语系列的第 52 集。今天的 Tip Top 贸易公司的气氛可不轻 松。办公室助理 Denise 刚刚被裁员，今天是她在公司的最后一天了。Anna 正在忙 她的工作，同时在招呼着每个人在 Denise 的告别卡上签个名…
Anna: Paul, have you signed Denise's leaving card yet?
Paul: No, not yet. Have you got a pen… (writing) …"Sorry to see you go. Best foot forward. Paul." There. I feel a bit guilty, it was me who got rid of her.
Tom: Yeah. Well, you should feel really bad. I can't believe you're getting rid of her.
Anna: Tom, do you want to sign the card?
Tom: Yeah, of course. (Writing) "You are… were… the best employee we ever had. So sad to see you go. Kiss, kiss, kiss. Tom."
Anna: Gosh. Three kisses! Erm, you haven't given me any money for her leaving present yet, have you?
Tom: Oh sorry, a bit of a cash flow problem (searching around). Here, have a pound.
Paul: That's generous! (Denise crying in distance)
Paul: Oh crumbs, she's crying again. Anna, could you deal with her? I've got something important to do.
Tom: Oh yeah. Me too.
Anna: Denise, are you OK? Are you upset about leaving?
Denise: (Sobbing) Yes. I've loved working here. I've made some good friends… like you Anna… and being able to make free phone calls has been good. What am I going to do now?
Narrator: Anna, 听上去 Denise 急需一些求职的忠告和建议。
Anna: Career advice?
Narrator: 她需要一些具体的引导看看下一步该怎么走，到哪里去寻找新工作。换位思考，你会怎 么做？
Anna: Look in the newspaper, ring my contacts, register with a job agency?
Narrator: 没错！你肯定能给她指点指点，试试看。
Anna: OK, I'll try. (To Denise) Cheer up Denise, you need to think positively.
Denise: Do I? I'm unemployed from tomorrow, how am I ever going to find another job?
Anna: Well, have you tried looking in the job section in the newspaper?
Denise: No.
Anna: It's a good place to start. And there are loads of job-finding websites you could sign up for.
Denise: I don't have a computer.
Anna: Well, what about ringing some of the people you know – contacts who may know about a job?
Denise: Hmm, I hadn't thought about that.
Anna: And of course, you could register with a recruitment agency. They're good at finding jobs for you.
Denise: Oh, that's a good idea. Anna, you're brilliant! What great ideas (starting to cry again)… you're so kind and… thoughtful. (Door opens)
Paul: Anna could you… oh no, she's crying again.
Tom: Oh no, she we go back in to your office Paul?
Anna: No, no. It's OK, Denise is crying with happiness. She's feeling better now.
Paul: Oh well, in that case… shall we all gather round and officially say goodbye to Denise. (Denise starts to cry again)
Narrator: 可怜的 Denise，眼睛都快哭肿了。不过 Anna 的求职指点对她很有启发。在没有专 业咨询的情况下，就要自己去尝试。下面我们再听听 Anna 给 Denise 提供的求职建 议…
You need to think positively. 你要有积极的态度!
Try looking in the job section in the newspaper. 到报纸的招聘广告栏上看看。
There are loads of job-finding websites you could sign up for. 现在有很多求 职网页，你可以去注册一下。
What about ringing some of the people you know? 可以给你认识的人打个电 话。
You could register with a recruitment agency. 你也可以委托招聘代理公司。
Paul: OK everyone… the time has come to say farewell to Denise. It's with regret we've had to let her go.
Tom: (Whispering) We? You, Paul.
Paul: Thank you for all your hard work and we wish you very well in the future. (Everyone claps)
Paul: Anna, I think we have a gift for Denise?
Anna: There you go Denise. Careful it's quite heavy.
Denise: (Unwrapping gift) Oh, what a beautiful fruit bowl… and full of plastic fruit! (Everyone laughs) (Phone starts ringing)
Tom: I'll get it (Tom talks to someone on the phone). Sorry about that everyone. That was a company called Nice'n'Cheesy, they remember Anna. They liked your sales pitch and want to order 100,000 plastic grapes to go with their cheeses!
Paul: What?! Brilliant! Ooops. (Fruit bowl smashes)
Denise: My new fruit bowl!
Narrator: 天哪，果盘被打碎了，可怜的 Denise。看上去她离开公司的时机很不好，不知道她还 会不会回来？预知剧情发展，请留意下一集的《白领英语》。Bye!
