实用商务英语(BEC)综合辅导1：新任就职

新任就职 Introducing Yourself to Other Employees
　　经过紧张的面试，Jennifer Wong获得了在Action工作的机会，上司Jack Gibson将她介绍给同事认识。所谓"师父引进门，修行在各人"，Jennifer面对同事，自然也得想出一套适当的介绍辞，让大家认识她，并且乐于与她工作。
　　正文：（Jennifer的自我介绍）
　　Thank you, Mr. Gibson, for that kind introduction. You've given me a reputation I might not be able to live up to.
　　Just to let you know a little about myself. I'm the new Overseas Sales Representative. I came over from Magic Kitchen Supplies, a company you might be familiar with. There, I was responsible for exporting supplies to restaurants in the United States.
　　I got my MBA in the States, so I feel quite at home with that territory. Not surprisingly, I'll be heading up the U.S. and Canadian division of Action's sales force. We'll be concentrating our efforts in the West and Midwest, with an eye toward opening new markets in major metropolitan areas.
　　Action has just started out in overseas markets, and I look forward to hearing each of your views on our present and future projects. I may also need your advice, as I'm learning the ropes around here.
　　作业：现在开始做题目，看到划线的四句话了吗？请把它们翻译一遍o(∩_∩)o...
　　●　 谢谢介绍者
　　1. Thank you, Mr. Gibson, for that kind introduction.
　　2. I appreciate the introduction, Mr. Gibson.
　　3. Thank you for the warm welcome, Mr. Gibson.
　　先表示你很感激介绍人，把他的名字也说出来。致谢意的字有"thank" 和 "appreciate"，后者较为正式一些。
　　●　 简介自己
　　1. Just to let you know a little about myself.
　　2. I won't take up much of your time, but I just want to introduce myself.
　　3. Let me just briefly tell you a little about myself.
　　接下来的表达重点是要让人知道你的演讲主题--自我介绍，同时表明这段话不长，不会占用大家太多的时间。 "let you know"等于 "tell you" ; "a little"和 "briefly"都是用来形容‘简短'的字汇。
