新官上任的开场白

Jennifer Wong获得了在Action工作的机会，上司Jack Gibson将她介绍给同事认识。所谓“师父引进门，修行在各人”，Jennifer面对同事，自然也得想出一套适当的介绍辞，让大家认识她，并且乐于与她一起工作。

Thank you, Mr. Gibson, for that kind introduction. You've given me a reputation I might not be able to live up to.

Just to let you know a little about myself. I'm the new Overseas Sales Representative. I came over from Magic Kitchen Supplies, a company you might be familiar with. There, I was responsible for exporting supplies to restaurants in the United States.

I got my MBA in the States, so I feel quite at home with that territory. Not surprisingly, I'll be heading up the US and Canadian division of Action's sales force. We'll be concentrating our efforts in the West and Midwest, with an eye toward opening new markets in major metropolitan areas.

Action has just started out in overseas markets, and I look forward to hearing each of your views on our present and future projects. I may also need your advice, as I'm learning the ropes around here.

谢谢Gibson先生好意的介绍，我恐怕要辜负您的赞许了。

我想就简单的说说自己吧！我是新任的海外业务代表。原来在神奇厨具用品公司工作，我想诸位大概对那个公司也不陌生。我在那儿负责的是出口餐具到美国的餐厅。

我在美国拿到企管硕士学位，对美国那一带的情形还蛮熟悉的；所以，很自然的，我将负责Action的美加业务部门。我们将集中主力向西部及中西部进军，打算开发主要大都会区的新市场。

Action在海外市场方面才刚起步，我希望能听听各位对于目前和未来计划的看法。同时也因为我正处于摸索阶段，还需要各位多多指教。

短语解说

live up to 达到（期望，配合）

这个词组常用在谈论有关预期效果；表示能符合别人对自己的看法，或是能达到某种要求。

feel (quite) at home 非常在行

这词组以有如在家（"at home"）般地轻松自在，比喻对某事应付自如，也就是说对这件事很熟悉、很有研究，即很“在行”。在商场上，常用来形容某人对某种商品，公司或是行销市场很清楚。

I feel at home with numbers, so I want to study accounting.

head up 主持，领导

这个口语表示要做某事或某部门中“带头的”（"head of something"），即“领导”的意思。

The company's sales force is divided into smaller divisions which are responsible for a particular region.

with an eye toward 未来计划于

这也是句口语，字面意思是“眼睛注视着某处”，比喻“将来想朝某处下手”；专指将来想要从事、执行的事。

句型总结

●　 谢谢介绍者

1. Thank you, Mr. Gibson, for that kind introduction.

2. I appreciate the introduction, Mr. Gibson.

1. Just to let you know a little about myself.

2. I won't take up much of your time, but I just want to introduce myself.

3. Let me just briefly tell you a little about myself.

接下来的表达重点是要让人知道你的演讲主题--自我介绍，同时表明这段话不长，不会占用大家太多的时间。 "Let you know"等于 "tell you" ; "a little"和 "briefly"都是用来形容“简短”的字汇。

1. I'll be heading up the U.S. and Canadian division of Action's sales force.

2. I'll be in charge of managing the American and Canadian accounts.

用一句轻松的开场白说明你要谈谈自己。

3. 新职与经验

谈谈新职的工作内容和过去相关的经验。

4. 多多指教
