This is the second part of our Business English Pod series on training and development vocabulary and collocations.
这是系列商务英语课程的第2节课，将要学习与培训和发展相关的词汇和搭配。
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.
好的培训无论对大公司还是小公司都很重要。如果员工没掌握正确的知识，技巧和工具，我们怎能期望他们做好工作？为员工提供这些工具是训练的一个重要功能。
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.”
培训是我们今天将要谈论的话题。我们会来看下与培训有关的重要词汇和搭配。搭配是母语说话者使用的词汇的自然组合。对搭配没有明确的限定，只有模式。当你学习新词是，你应该学习和它搭配使用的其他词。比如，你知道“crime(犯罪）”是一个有用的词，但如果不知道用commit动词和它搭配，构成“commit a crime(犯罪）”，你就不会用这个词。
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.
在上节课中，我们听到许多有用的培训搭配。Jeff在一家工程顾问公司担任人事，他正和刚刚介绍完新培训方法的David谈话。Jeff解释了公司如何来提高学习和发展的项目。今天David会更多地介绍以学习者为中心的培训。

1) What is a traditional approach to training?
