Before the Interview 面试前

Pay attention to your dressing:If you don't own any professional attire,then it's time to invest in some grown-up clothing(jeans and t-shirts don't belong to this category,neither do dresses).

注意你的着装：如果你现在还没有面试正装，那么是时候去买一些看起来比较成熟的衣服（牛仔裤和T恤不属于这一类，连衣裙也不是）。

pay attention to 注意 , attire 服装， invest in 在...上投资， grown-up 成熟的， belong to 属于

Spend some time studying the business:Most companies have a website with plenty of background information about the founders,company history,company business objectives and so on.Spend one or two hours to get familiar with the company website and do a search for press releases,new items and articles related to the business.Try to figure out where you would fit into the company and what skills you should highlight.

花一些时间了解将要面试的公司：大多数公司都有自己的网站，关于该公司创始人、公司历史、公司经营目标等的背景信息。花一两个小时来熟悉该公司的网站，搜索下该公司的新闻及与公司业务相关的项目和文章。揣摩下你在公司的定位以及你应该突出哪些技能。

get familiar with 熟悉 ，search for 搜索， try to figure out 揣摩

Practice:Have a friend sit down with you for a practice interview.Have them ask you some typical interview questions and give your best answers.It's important that you practice the process of interviewing so that you are more comfortable with it.It's called practice makes perfect.

练习：找个熟人陪你练习面试。让他们问你一些典型的面试问题，并给出你最好的回答。练习面试的过程是很重要的，这样才能使你更适应它。这就是熟能生巧。

practice makes perfect 熟能生巧

During the Interview 面试中

Take care of basic manners:"Yes,sir." and "Yes,ma'ma." are appropriate unless you are instructed otherwise.Don't interrupt the interviewer and pay attention to shake hands with others.

注意基本礼仪：“是的，先生”和“是的，女士”这样的用语都是恰当的，除非被告知用其他的称呼。不要打断面试官说话并且注意与他人握手。

manners 礼貌/态度， shake hands with 握手

Keep good posture:Stand up straight,walk tall and sit up straight in your chair.Don't give interviewer the impression of being lazy and apathetic.

保持良好的姿势：站立时身体笔直，走路时挺直腰杆，坐立时保持上身正直。不要给面试官以懒惰和冷漠的印象。

posture 姿势， walk tall <口>挺直腰杆/理直气壮， apathetic 无感情的/冷淡的

Make eye contact:Making eye contact tells the interviewer you are sincere,confident and trustworthy.

眼神交流：眼神交流告诉面试官你是真诚的、自信的、值得信赖的。

eye contact 眼神交流， trustworthy 值得信赖

Hold some details:Stop yourself from laying out every single detail of personal situation.Personal comments are OK,but they want to know if you can do the job and if you will be a safer,better choice than other people.

保留一些细节：不要把个人情况的每一个细节都列出来。适当的自我评价是可以的，但是招聘企业更想知道的是你是否能胜任这份工作，你是否与其他的人相比更值得期待和选择。

After the Interview 面试后

When the interview is over,give the interviewer a polite hand-shake or a sincere "Thank you!" which shows you are a well-mannered person and further leave on the interviewer one good impression.

面试结束后，礼貌地与面试官握手或诚挚的说声“谢谢！”，这表明你是一个有礼貌的人，并且给面试官留下了一个好印象。

polite 有礼貌的，well-mannered 有礼貌的，leave on 让…留在原处
