Susan: Excuse me. May I see Mr. John Watt, the personnel manager?
Watt: It's me. What can I do for you?
Susan: I have come at your invitation for an interview. Nice to meet you, Mr. Watt.
Watt: Nice to meet you too. Please sit down.
Susan: Thank you.
Watt: May I have your name?
Susan: My name is Susan Li.
Watt: OK, Miss Li, we have received your letter in answer to our advertisement. I would like to talk with you regarding your qualifications for this position.
Susan: I am very happy that I am qualified for an interview.
Notes:
1. 对话中Susan来参加面试,人事经理接待了她。人事经理是the personnel manager。Susan开始问:May I see Mr. John Watt, the personnel manager?(我想见人事经理。)May I...? 是非常客气的问话方式。Susan问的人正是人事经理,他回答到:It's me. What can I do for you? (我就是,有什么事情吗?)
2. Susan回答I have come at your invitation for an interview. 我是应你们的要求来面试的。at one's invitation,在某人的邀请下。例如:He came to my birthday party at my mother's invitation. 我母亲邀请他来参加我的生日舞会。这句话还可以这样说:I'm here for an interview as requested.
3. 两个人互相打过了招呼。May I have your name? 直译就是"我可以知道你的名字吗?"是很客气的问法。We have received your letter in answer to our advertisement. I would like to talk with you regarding your qualifications for this position. (我们已经收到您回复招聘广告的信函了。我想和你谈谈你的情况和这个职位。)这里面应该包括了简历。更加简单的说法是:We have received your letter and resume, and we thought we would like to ask you to come here for an interview.
4. be qualified for something或者是be qualified to do something,有资格做某事。例如:You're not qualified to be a doctor. 你没有做医生的资格。表示"很荣幸参加面试"还可以这样说:It is a great pleasure for me to have this opportunity for interview.
