小高：感谢你的到来，京晶，我已经看过了你的简历，我有一些问题想问你。
Jingjing: Yes, of course.
京晶：当然可以，请问。
Xiao Gao: I'm sure that the prerequisites 1 for this position include 2years experience developing business software. You come off strong in that area, could you elaborate a little about your experiences with your previous employer?
小高：申请这个工作的前提条件是有两年开发商业软件的工作经历。在这个方面你已经非常有优势了，你能再细致讲讲你在上一家公司的经历吗？
Jingjing: Well, as I've mentioned, I left that company early as they were starting to cut corners and that was affecting the quality of our work.
京晶：就像我在简历中提到的，我早早地离开了上一家公司是因为他们开始消减开支，这已经影响了工作的质量。
Xiao Gao: So you want to find an organization that holds promise for you in the long run?
小高：所以你想找一家机构能长远地给你品质上的保证？
Jingjing: Yes, I've got my eye on the big picture and my previous employer's policy was coming to be at odds 2 with where I want to go with my career.
京晶：是的，我要从大局考虑。我上一家雇主的决策已经和我自己的职业规划产生了矛盾。
Xiao Gao: What is the attraction in possibly working for our organization?
小高：是什么吸引你来我们公司应聘呢？
Jingjing: I've got to say that I'm drawn 3 to the quality of your products and services, and your reputation precedes you.
京晶：我得说是你们公司产品的质量和服务吸引了我,还有你们的品牌美誉度。
Xiao Gao: It's a mean business and customer service is what sets us apart. Even internally, we operate quite differently from other companies. The onus 4 is on teamwork and collective production.
小高：这是一个不太规范的产业，是好的客户服务将我们与其他公司区分开来。就连我们的内部运转也和其他公司有所不同。责任是落在团队合作和集体生产力上的。

京晶：我知道，你们的人事条例是产业中的标杆，我非常希望从中好好学习。
