商务英语播客 第133课:探讨培训方法(2)

This is the second part of our Business English Pod series on training and development vocabulary and collocations. 这是有关培训和词汇，习惯用语学习的商务英语播客的第二部分。

Good training is crucial for any company, big or small. How can we expect people to do a good job if they don't have the right knowledge, skills, and tools? Providing employees with these tools is a key function of training. 好的培训对于任何或大或小的公司都至关重要。如果没有正确的知识，技能和工具，我们怎么能期待他把工作做好呢？给职员们这样的工具是培训的主要功能。

And training is what we'll be talking about today. We'll be looking at some important vocabulary and collocations related to training. Remember, collocations are natural combinations of words that native speakers commonly use. There are no clear rules to collocation, only patterns. When you learn a new word, you should try to learn what other words are used with it. For example, you might think that "crime" is a useful word to know, but it will be difficult to use it if you don't know that we usually use the verb "commit" before it, as in: "commit a crime." 培训是今天我们要谈论的。我们将继续学习一些重要的和培训有关的词汇和习惯用语。记住，习惯用语是以英语为母语的人通常使用的单词的自然组合。对于习惯用语没有明确的规则，只有一定的模式。当你学一个新的单词，你需要试着学习什么样的词和这个搭配。比如，你可能会觉得犯罪这个词很有用，但是如果你不知道在这个词之前使用commit这个词，我们还是没有学会正确的表达。

In the last episode, you heard many useful training collocations. We listened to Jeff, who works in HR at an engineering firm, talk with David, who has just given a presentation on new approaches to training. We heard Jeff explain how his company wants to improve their learning and development program. Today, David will explain more about learner-centered training. 在上一集中，你听到了很多有用的培训的搭配。我们听到了在工程公司人事部门工作的杰夫，他和刚刚就培训新方法做完陈述的大卫谈论。我们听到杰夫解释他的公司是多么需要提高他们的学习和发展项目。今天，大卫将继续解释更多的有关学习者为中心的培训。
