2011-03-25来源:商务英语播客

This is the second in a two-part Business English Pod series on administrative assistants, their jobs, and related vocabulary and collocations.
这是2节英语商务播客中的第2节,将学到有关行政助理及其工作职责,和与之相关的词汇和搭配。

Collocations are a challenge for anyone learning English. There aren’t any specific rules to follow. You just have to listen for what sounds right. Still, they’re essential for English communication and important to keep in mind when you learn new vocabulary – don’t just think about the new word, think about what other words it might be used with. We’ll point out some useful collocations related to daily office work as we go through this lesson.
搭配对学英语的人是一种挑战。没有任何特定的规律可循。所以你必须留意那些听起来是正确的内容。而且搭配对于英语交流是十分必要的,当你学习词汇是要记住相关搭配——不要只记单词,想想它和什么词可以搭配使用。我们会指出一些与日常办公室工作相关的搭配。

Administrative assistants are important to any business organization. For example, they make sure data is handled responsibly and records are maintained properly. It might seem like they work in the background, but their jobs are critical to the smooth running of a company.
行政助理对于商业组织都是十分重要的。比如,他们能确保负责任地处理过数据,并保存好记录。他们似乎只在幕后工作,但是行政助理的工作对于公司的运作是很关键的。
