1)I'm much obliged……

I'm much obliged+to you for having given me such an opportunity to be interviewed.

承蒙准予面试,本人不胜感激。

Tips:be obliged(to sb.)(for sth.)是一个表示感谢的有用句型,通常用于正式场合,意思是“因为某事感谢某人”。

2)Will you please……

Will you please+make a brief introduction on yourself?

请做个简单的自我介绍。

Tips:Will you please 是表示委婉、客气语气的常用句式,其后直接跟动词原形,可以翻译成“请做……”“你可以……吗?”或者“请……,好吗?”

3)The reason is that……

The reason is that+I'm interested in the position your company offered.

原因是我对贵公司提供的职位很感兴趣。

Tips:当句子的主语是The reason 时,其后的表语从句应该由 that 引导,而不是why,或者 because。

4)I believe that……

I believe that+the job contributes a lot to my accumulating some useful work experience.

相信这份工作有助于我积累一些有用的工作经验。

Tips:believe 后面所跟的从句是宾语从句,that 是连接词,可以省略。

5)Can you tell me……

Can you tell me+what your greatest strengths are?

你能够告诉我你最大的优点是什么吗?

Tips:Can you tell me 也是表示委婉、客气的常见句式,其后的宾语从句应该使用陈述语序。

6)I tend to……

I value most+in a position with the challenge that I have never met, the feeling of accomplishment, and the opportunity to get promoted.

我最看重的是一个岗位能否给我提供前所未有的挑战、成就感以及获得晋升的机会。

Tips:本句型采用的是倒装语序。英语中,如果宾语比较长,则往往需要把状语提前,从而使得句子平衡。

8)Supposing that……

Supposing that+we offer you the position, how long will you stay with us?

假如我们给你这个职位,你打算待多久?

Tips:句型中的supposing 充当连词,表条件,意思是“如果……、倘若……”,后跟 that 引导的从句,that 可以省略。

9)I won't give up the job until……

I won't give up the job until+I get promoted or sacked.

直到我升职或者被炒鱿鱼,我才会放弃这份工作。

Tips:not……until 是一个表示时间的常用句型,意思是“直到……才……”。该句型要求主句使用短暂性动词,如果是延续性动词,主句则应该使用肯定形式,如:I stayed until he came back.我一直待到他回来。

10)These certificates prove that……

These certificates prove that+I'm qualified for the position.

这些证书证明我有资格从事该职位。
