本书(准备中)以Sim Yang在新西兰多年学习、生活、工作的真实经历为题材,以他自己的经历记录以及观察到、看到的别人的经历为蓝本,以真实的故事为线索改编成一个个现代西游记的情节小说。早在十年前出国前的两个星期内,Sim就一口气写出了十二万字的《冲击波英语》,被当地新闻媒体头版头条报道后,此书还未出版就被络绎不绝的人们电话订购,当时与父母商量后,Sim决定要用超过十年的时间检验此书的理念并且继续修改完善。这一次Sim作为专家顾问受《海外英语》邀请承担栏目策划,Sim决心要打造出一个与所有英语学习者都密不可分的栏目——英语与就业!其中一个分栏源于Sim从2011年开始酝酿和草拟的一本书——《现代西游记》中抽取出来的故事部分,修改后作为《现代西游记》事业英文小说系列展现在这里。Sim希望大家通过QQ博客(1125652477)、微信(impactenglish) 或者冲击波英语官网(http://www.ietg.net)开辟互动往来,以获得第一手的反馈数据和创作灵感。

在故事就要开始之前,先说说我们预期的读者实现目标吧:

第一回:办公室里的尴尬遭遇

我要学啥

A. 用英语描述出西方的office administrator与中国的办公室主任有何不同

B. 西方企业严格的门卡制度以及打卡上班的相关词汇

C. 办公室用品的所有常见词汇和搭配以及相关量词组合

D. 电子办公设备常见词汇

E. 商务文秘最频繁使用的动词和形容词(1)

F. 打招呼的两类常用短语

G. 一般现在时与现在进行时的区别

H. 学习与巩固新单词和短语的各种策略

1.1面试成功

Simmy昨天面试成功,今天第一天进入总部位于新西兰的冲击波英语教育集团,成为里面的office administrator。 他兴高采烈,因为这个职务啊,听起来名头挺大,中文常被人译成“办公室管理员”、“办公室行政人员”,或者“办公室主任”,名片上也就可以这样写了。其实他不知道,悄悄地告诉你们吧,在西方国家里,这个职务往往与receptionist的工作相关,也就是说,是职业生涯爬梯过程中的最基本的职务,要想往上爬,这是第一步——是必须学会的一课。我想啊,也是因为这样,所以他能够这么容易地就进入这一世界50强企业吧。看来,应聘时口语优秀,还是很不错滴,先不管以后任务能否做得好,首先给人第一印象就好。当然, Simmy在面试的时候用了一些绝招,而且把面试一定会出现的十二道题研究得炉火纯青了所以才会有这样的奇迹出现,否则很难逃过面试官的眼睛呢,因为面试官不光要看口语还要了解应聘者有无应征职务的技能啊。至于Simmy是如何在初学商务阶段就逃过面试官的眼睛,顺利进入这一世界50强,那是本书系“面试与招聘”这一册的内容。我们现在要追踪的是,Simmy能否顺利胜任这一职务以及遇到的一切问题。那么,究竟这个职务要做什么,大家不禁要问了,就让我们先看看他这一职位的任务描述吧:

Impact English Education Group

09 377 9244

Reference Number: 285-1103787

Office Administrator

Full Time Permanent

Faculty of Commerce

Do you thrive (v.快速成长) in a busy and varied role? Will a job providing support to management, and, teaching and learning staff, excite (v.使兴奋) you?

If so we need to talk to you. The role we have involves providing effective, efficient administrative support and information services to the School of Business. The tasks are diverse (多样化的)and the scope of the role (职务范围) includes specific support to the school management team, meeting management, partner liaison (与兄弟单位的沟通协调), secretarial and general administrative support. You will be responsible for phones, meeting and greeting visitors and providing tea/coffee, providing various administrative supports to the team, office maintenance, typing letters and preparing reports/presentations. In this role you will also be coordinating (协调)and booking meetings/hotels/cars/flights and providing professional customer service at all times. You are the one who will ensure the smooth and efficient running of the office.

You will have experience in a similar role and be a strong and organized administrator with an internal customer service focus. You will have a ‘can-do’ attitude, be proactive (积极主动的), have strong attention to detail and good communication and computer skills.

Great customer service skills and an extensive administration background are a must. You'll be an expert user of the Microsoft Office package and will have well proven time management skills. Your enthusiasm and positive, proactive approach to work will make you a stand-out (出类拔萃的) candidate.

我的天哪,看完了上面的招聘启示以后,我们清楚地看到划线部分上的细节要求了,这就是Simmy必须掌握的技能和今后要从事的关键内容了。原来,office administrator就是一个打杂的啊,怎么与心目中的business administrator差别这么大!原来,administrator这个职务啊可大可小,大的可以做到公司的经理,一般称为company administrator或者是business administrator; 小的可以是前台的接待员,可以称作office administrator或者就直接称为administrator所以,名片上看到的往往比事实要光鲜得多,用Prison Break (越狱) 的名句来道破,Not everything is as it seems. (不是任何事情都是表里如一的!) 在这一上下文背景下,我们可以把这里的administrator 看成是“前台外勤类事务的管理员” 或者“办公室管理文员”。看来,Simmy要当上行政管理员的美梦破碎了,非但如此,或许连他当时也没有清楚,他的噩梦其实才刚刚开始。

1.2门卡丢失

刚来到新西兰的Simmy有些人生地不熟,可是才休息了一个星期就要上班了。他似乎很清楚在西方工作必须守时(punctual), 8点钟上班他7点45分就到了公司,可是他正要推开大门准备进去的时候麻烦来了,门怎么推也是纹丝不动,这时候他才发现原来门边有一个写着Swipe Card的装置,他需要刷卡才能进去。Simmy忘了带卡,结果等了五分钟后有同事来上班他才得以进门。可是让Simmy伤心的是,原来Swipe card就是他身上的Employee ID card, 同时同事Robert告诉他:“The company is using something called time and attendance tracking system (考勤计时系统) that can be easily integrated with our ID card program. It includes a barcode scanner (条形码扫描仪) that delivers fast and accurate barcode reading by using a high-performance processor (高级处理器) and an omni-directional scanning pattern(全方位扫描模式). In this way, all employees can clock in and out (打卡进出) each day by holding their ID cards up to the reader. The scanner will read the unique barcode on each employee ID card. This facility (设备) allows the employer to keep accurate record of employees’ time and attendance.” 这也就是说,这个ID卡还有打卡上下班的功能啊, 西方的安保和考勤系统果然严格。

1.3尴尬的词汇量

Simmy 终于来到了他的办公室,果然他的位置是一个前台接待啊。眼前是各种办公室用品,先是五台22寸半的液晶电脑、接着有几台传真机、扫描仪、装订机、碎纸机和一台大型激光打印机、好几个书架、文件柜、很多的收文盘、笔筒、装宣传单或者宣传杂志的小塑料托架到处都是,文件、墙上有布告栏和墙头计划表……这时候,一位领导匆匆跑过来,“Simmy, could you help me print these off in triplicate?” 糟糕的是,Simmy确实学过print这个单词,可是print off这个词组在中国他从来没听过啊,就算是也应该是print out吧,更糟糕的是,in triplicate是啥意思?他答应了领导以后,简直就是热锅上的蚂蚁,紧张得不得了。这时候,另一位职员走了过来, “Hey, Simmy, how are you? I heard that you’re from China, a lovely country indeed. Well, these two envelopes to the out-tray please, thanks.” 说完她就走了。Simmy心里想,“What? What is out-tray?” 正窘迫地拿起电子词典,对面的一位职员Amanda 急匆匆地跑了过来,Simmy意识到更大的灾难要来临了,“hi, Simmy, nice to see you, could you pass me the business school brochure in the booklet holder next to your desk tidy please?” 我的天,当时Simmy差点就晕了过去,什么是booklet holder, 啥是desk tidy啊?这种奇怪的组合他怎么可能在中国听过呢?而且别人在一边等着呢,Simmy只好使用1号紧急应对措施,他捂着肚子、一脸土黄地对Amanda说,“May I use the bathroom?” Amanda似乎理解了,马上说 “Sure, I will get it myself. I am sorry, Simmy.” 其实这一招一般是女孩子使用在避开一些话题或者逃出会议等的绝活,可是Simmy是男孩啊,毕竟显得太弱不禁风了。不过情急之下,他真的顾不得那么多了。他跑向洗手间的同时,回头朝Amanda走去的方向瞄了一眼,天哪!原来brochure是宣传单,booklet holder就是放宣传单的托架,desk tidy是那一柱笔筒啊!这么唾手可得的东西,他居然被几个词汇给唬住了!聪明的Simmy一下子明白了一个道理,只有干掉这些办公室用品的词汇,他才会有扬眉吐气的一天。于是,他在去洗手间的十分钟内找到了一位叫做Robert的同事, 标准的英国伦敦人,把难处告诉他,他微笑地告诉Simmy, print off的意思与print out差不多,只不过它强调把文件复制多份,而print out强调的是把东西从电脑里打印出来这样的行为。神奇的Robert居然在五分钟内帮助Simmy把主要的办公室用品的词汇列出一个清单,并且告诉Simmy, 这样的词汇,最好先使用分类学习法归纳如下:

1.4分类词汇法

Office items

理解要点:

Stapler是订书机,staple是钉书钉。

Letterhead除了指信笺上的印有公司名称和地址的信头之意,还有纸整张公司抬头纸的意思,相当于official headed paper。

Waste-paper basket废纸篓一般出现在个人办公室内,而公司走廊的大废纸桶或者垃圾箱则称为waste bin, 到了街上或者社会场所见到的垃圾箱或者垃圾桶则可称为rubbish bin (英国),garbage/garbage can(美国), 而dustbin常指家庭用的垃圾桶。

Tape常指有粘性的透明胶带。

Note paper是写草稿或者随便涂划用的一张张的纸,post-it note是很小的一般是四方形的小纸片,可以随时放进兜里或者贴在文件头部的小纸条, 其实它就是a slip of paper一张小纸条。

Electronic Office:

理解要点:

Fax是缩写

Webcam 是web camera的缩写

Headset还可以称为 headphone, earphone, earpiece; 注意其与handset(电话听筒)区分开来。

Laptop 指的就是laptop computer, desktop 指的是 desktop computer.

Software 常用作不可数名词,只有在强调各种软件的时候才使用复数,仍不希望使用复数时可以使用software applications代替。

Disk drive包括了各种盘式驱动器,比如CD-ROM, 或者DVD-ROM drives. ROM指的是光盘属於唯读存储器,ROM 是 read-only memory的缩写.

Recordable disk drive 包括了CD 刻录机 CD burner 以及DVD刻录机DVD burner等。

可是Simmy只有五分钟的时间,这么多的单词他如何记忆得了啊!不过其实大家不知道,Simmy来到新西兰的最终目标是成为一位出色的同声传译员,来到冲击波英语教育集团是想首先从翻译界五业之首(商务、法律、医疗、旅游、技术)的商务开始磨练,所以短时记忆对他来说只是小菜一碟,那是他每天都在训练的,只是专业词汇仍需不段增加和历练。

在第一天上班的过程中,Simmy除了遭遇办公室名词冲击波的剧烈打击之外,还被各种突如起来的动词弄得六神无主!举一个简单的例子,对于“把某东西放在哪里”的表达,Simmy只会用I will put it here/there. 这个put已经用了无数遍了,他还在不断地用,别提其他人,连他自己都烦了,可别人换用各种表达的时候,他又听不懂。一气之下,Simmy下班后的当天夜里,把所有上班听到的动词和形容词一锅端了——把他们集中起来给一起收拾了!

1.4分类词性法

重要动词Important Verbs

重要形容词Important Adjectives

You need to be punctual for the appointment at 1:30 pm today. 今天下午1:30你务必准时赴约。

The company’s growth was not as smooth as it sounds in retrospect. 回顾之下,公司的发展并非象所说的这么顺利。

These issues need to be dealt with in a more effective way. 这些问题要用更有效的方式去处理。

Coaching means to influence the learner’s personal development, for example, his or her confidence and ambition. 给学生辅导意味着要对学生的个体发展施加影响,比如,他/她的自信与志向。

Through brainstorming, an organization can meet skills shortages, discuss targets and indicate how employees should deal with challenging situations, all at short notice. 通过群策群力,组织就能在很短的时间内弥补技术短缺、探讨计划目标、并且指明员工应该如何应对难缠的状况。

I have a demanding schedule for the work. 为了这项工作,我有一个需要高度努力才能实现的计划。

As the economy changed and the once packed office blocks started to become vacant, it became clear that the company would need to diversify. 随着经济状况发生变化,一度人满为患的多个办公室逐渐空荡了出来,很明显公司必须把业务延伸使其多样化。

In 1994, the move was made when she bought another catering business that already had a number of profitable contracts for boardroom lunches. 在1994年她买下另外一家有着不少利润可观的董事午餐服务合同的饮食服务公司的时候,她用的就是这一招。

It’s helpful to remember that the ways people move and position themselves while they are speaking can reveal a great deal about what they are saying. 有用且值得记住的是,人们在说话时活动身躯以及对身体部位的定位方式大体上可以揭示他们要讲的内容。

If you allow your mind to wander on something else, you will miss the critical points the speaker delivers. 如果你允许精神飘移到其他事情上,你就会错过讲话者说话的要点。

1.5地毯式清扫与办公室设备用品有关的量词

a ream of paper (500 sheets) 500张纸

a bar of soap 一块肥皂

a ball of string 一捆绳子

a bag of rubber bands 一袋橡皮筋

a tube of glue 一条胶水

a roll of tape 一卷胶带

1.6词根学习法

Bind: 装订(动词)——binder 书籍装订工——bindery 书籍装订公司——binding——装订(名词)

1.7一词多词性、一词多义、易混词、一义多词

1.7.1一词多词性

Portable 可作形容词和名词,后者往往被忽视,作为“便携式物品或者轻便物品”,学会利用多词性的单词可以使语言简明。These documents are typed on a portable. 这份文件是用便携式打字机打的。

1.7.2一词多义

Printer 除了有打印机的意思之外,还是打印人员之意,the people who make and supply us with company stationery, business cards, etc.

1.7.3易混词辨析

Stationary vs. Stationery

前者是指静止的、固定的,不可移动的(反义词是mobile-流动的,移动的);后者才是文具之意。

Collide with a stationary caravan 撞上一辆停着的篷车

A stationery cupboard 文具柜

cabinet vs. case, shelf, cupboard

虽然都称为“柜”, 一般是金属制成,有门并有分层抽屉的文件柜子叫做cabinet (a piece of furniture with doors and shelves or drawers used for storing materials or for showing attractive objects), 如filing cabinet 文件柜, display cabinet 陈设橱窗; cupboard一般是木制的柜子,有门,装的可以是各类杂物。没有门的一般可称为case(较小)或者shelf(较大);bookcase, show case, bookshelf.

strip vs. stripe

strip 是指比“一张”更小点的一小块,一小张但是比较长的纸,或者狭长的一块布条、土地或者金属。而stripes指的是条纹和线条或者军衔上的级别条纹。

a strip of paper 一张纸条 a strip of land 一块狭长的土地 a white shirt with blue stripes 有黄色条纹的白衬衫 the cheetah’s stripes 猎豹的斑纹 How many stripes are there on a Chinese regimental commander’s shoulder? 一个中国团长的臂章上有多少条横杆?

tag vs. tab

它们都有可识别标签的作用和意思,如hang tabs on the wall墙上的挂钩/挂带、挂臂,a name tab in the clothes衣服上的名字标签, subject tag主题标签,name tag 名字标签;不过tab可以更深入地指用以抓住、悬挂、固定某物的小片、小条或者小带;如to pull the tab to open the can of beer 拉环开罐。

1.7.4一义多词

此外,为了脱离永远只用put表示“放东西”的尴尬,Simmy作出了如下总结:

“放东西在哪里”与“放下某东西”的各种表达

Put the book back on the shelf, please. 把书放回架子上。

Add more paper in the tray of the copier, please. 放多点纸到复印机的纸盘里。

Please load the photocopier tray with paper, thanks. 请往复印机纸盘加纸,谢谢。

1.8.3 Reading comprehension

‘An office workplace, like so many other products and services in the future, will fail if it only manages to be ordinary’… Adryan Bell, one of the pioneers in the design of work and workplace, uses his new book Re-imagining the Office as a canvas on which to paint a vivid and, at times challenging, image of the future office.

Through six inter-related themes, efficiency, effectiveness, engagement, expression, e-work and experience, he encourages the reader to challenge and re-invent many existing long-standing workplace conventions. These include basic aspects like office design and image, workplace status and symbolism, dependency on desks, use of alternative work settings and locations, territorialism, use of paper, exploitation of technology and flexibility with time. More fundamentally, he encourages a rethinking of the whole concept and location of the workplace – and its role in supporting our work and the organizations we work for.

The book is both backward as well as forwarding looking as the author remarks: “we can learn from the past. And we should not throw everything completely away in boldly pursuing, as we must do, the new future.

Re-imagining the Office is a call to arms for all those concerned with workplace design; with the engagement of employees; with the practical task of nurturing the culture of knowledge, innovation and transformation that are now seen as key to future competitiveness in business and the delivery of relevant and sustainable services in the public sector. (Source: Re-imagining the Office)
