大家好!今天我们来学习一段超实用的英语对话,关于如何询问和回答职业问题。学完这篇,下次遇到外国朋友就能自信满满地聊天啦!

B: No, my wife's a doctor. She works in a hospital in London.

A: Maybe it would be interesting for her to visit a hospital in Beijing.

这段对话展示了几个关键点:
如何礼貌地询问他人的职业
如何清晰地回答关于职业的问题
如何对某人的职业做出适当的评论
如何提出建议或邀请
你可以用不同的方法问某人做什么工作:
Is she a teacher?(她是老师吗?)
What does your wife do?(你妻子是做什么的?)
What's her profession?(她的职业是什么?)
Where does she work?(她在哪里工作?)
你可以这样回答:
Yes, she is.(是的,她是。)
No, my wife's a doctor.(不,我妻子是医生。)
She works in a hospital.(她在一家医院工作。)
She's in the medical field.(她在医疗领域工作。)
趣味小知识:在英国,"hospital"通常指大型综合医院,而小诊所一般称为"clinic"或"medical center"。
试着完成以下对话:
A: What does your sister do?
B: __________ (她是一名护士)
A: Is your brother a teacher?
B: __________ (不,他是一名工程师)
A: Where does your mother work?
B: __________ (她在一家银行工作)
(答案见下方空白处,先自己试试看哦!)
参考答案:
She's a nurse.
No, he's an engineer.
She works in a bank.
She finds her job very rewarding.(她觉得工作很有成就感)
It's challenging but fulfilling.(很有挑战性但很充实)
The hours are long but she enjoys it.(工作时间长但她乐在其中)
She's based in London but travels a lot.(她在伦敦办公但经常出差)
She works at the city center branch.(她在市中心的分支机构工作)
Her office is near the train station.(她的办公室靠近火车站)
文化小贴士:在英国,询问职业是很常见的社交话题,但要注意语气不要太直接或冒犯。可以先从"Where do you work?"这样比较宽泛的问题开始。
假设你在一个国际会议上遇到了一位英国代表,试着用今天学的内容展开对话:
You: Nice to meet you! Do you work here in Beijing?
British representative: No, I'm from London. I work for a tech company there.
You: That sounds interesting! What exactly do you do?
British representative: I'm a software developer. We create educational apps.
You: That must be very rewarding work!
记住,语言学习最重要的是多练习!下次遇到外国朋友,不妨主动聊聊职业话题哦~
