7 As I see it, there are four keys to getting hired:在笔者看来，如欲被聘用，应注意四个要诀：

call on 访问，拜访，号召，请求 近义词：make a visit to As Call back on busy回拨繁忙；遇忙回叫 Call recording on demand按需录音 Call Camp on预约通话 call provision on bonds债券期前赎回 Call in on拜访 call in on somebody顺便拜访某人 I see it 照我看来，以我之见，依我看，如我所见 As I see it, the social rule must be " live and let live ". 依我之见，社会的规则必须是“自己活也让别人活”。 AsIseeit, Bob is not fit for the position. 依我看，鲍勃不适合这个职位。

8 1. Prepare to win. "If you miss one day of practice, you notice the difference," the saying goes among musicians. "If you miss two days of practice, the critics notice the difference. If you miss three days of practice, the audience notices the difference."1. 准备去赢。“一日不练，自己知道，”音乐家中有这样的说法。" 两日不练，音乐评论家知道。三日不练，观众知道。"

When we watch a world-class musician or a top athlete, we don't see the years of preparation that enabled him or her to become great. The Michael Jordans of the world have talent, yes, but they're also the first ones on and the last ones off the basketball court. The same preparation applies in every form of human endeavor. If you want the job, you have to prepare to win it.我们在观看世界级音乐家或顶尖运动员的表演时，看到的并不是 使他们变成出类拔萃人物的长年苦练。世界上诸如迈克尔·乔丹这样 的顶尖人物无疑具有非凡才能，但他们在篮球场上也是第一个到，最 后一个走。同样的苦练适用于人类的各项活动。若想被聘用，就要准 备去赢。

When I graduated from college, the odds were good that I would have the same job for the rest of my life. And that's how it worked out. But getting hired is no longer a once-in-alifetime experience. Employment experts believe that today's graduates could face as many as ten job changes during their careers.我大学毕业时，我极有可能终身从 事同一个工作。当时情况也的确如 此。但如今已不再是一生被聘去做 一个工作了。指导就业的专家认为， 今天的大学毕业生在他们的生涯中 可能会经历多达10次的

职业变动。

And that's how it worked out情况也的确如此 getting hired受雇

11 That may sound like a lot of pressure. But if you're prepared, the pressure is on the other folks -- the ones who haven't done their homework.听上去似乎压力不小。然而，如果你做了准备，压力就是别人的— 那些没做准备的人.

a lot of 许多 on the other folks 其他人 do one’s homework 事先做好准备 go after努力争取，追求 go about 着手做，从事 go away 离开; 停止 go around 四处走动; 足够分配; go against 反对; 不利于 go back 回去，追溯 go back on 毁约; 背叛 go by 走过; 顺便走访; 依照 go far 扬名

12 You won't get every job you go after. The best salespeople don't close every sale. Michael Jordan makes barely half of his field-goal attempts. But it takes no longer to prepare well for one interview than to wander in half-prepared for five. And your prospects for success will be many times better.你不可能得到你想要的每份工作。最好的 售货人员也不可能每次都成交。迈克尔·乔丹 投篮命中率勉强过半。但认真准备一次面试的 时间不会多于马马虎虎准备五次面试的时间， 而你成功的可能性要多得多。

field-goal 投篮得分 no longer 不再同义词：no more

half-prepared 未准备好的

13 2. Never stop learning. Recently I played a doubles tennis match paired with a 90-year-old. I wondered how things would work out; I shouldn't have. We hammered our opponents 6-1, 6-1!2. 永不中断学习。最近我和一位90高 龄的老者搭档打双人网球。我琢磨着那 会是什么结局；可我的担心是多余的。 我们以两个6:1击败对手。

As we were switching sides to play a third set, he said to me, "Do you mind if I play the backhand court? I always like to work on my weaknesses." What a fantastic example of a person who has never stopped learning. Incidentally, we won the third set 6-1.我们交换场地打第三局时，他对我说：“我打反手击球你不介意 吧？我向来喜欢多练练自己的弱点。”好一个永不中断学习的精彩实 例。顺便说一下，我们6:1赢了第三局。

backhand court 左场区，反手区 work on 继续工作

the third set 第三回合

15

As we walked off the court, my 90-year-old partner chuckled and said, "I thought you'd like to know about my number-one ranking in doubles in the United States in my age bracket, 85 and up!" He wasn't thinking 90; he wasn't even thinking 85. He was thinking number one.走出赛场，我那90高龄的搭档笑着说：“你也许想知道我在85岁以 上年龄段的美国网球双打排名第一！”他想的不是年届90,想的甚至 也

不是85岁高龄。他想的是第一。
