商務(wù)英語(yǔ)播客第127課:行政助理的職責(zé)(下)

This is the second in a two-part Business English Podseries on administrative assistants, their jobs, andrelated vocabulary and collocations. 這是有關(guān)行政助理系列的英語(yǔ)播客的第二部分，講述了有關(guān)他們的工作，和相關(guān)詞匯和搭配。

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'reessential 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. 詞語(yǔ)搭配對(duì)于英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。沒(méi)有嚴(yán)格的條款去依循。你必須去聽(tīng)聽(tīng)起來(lái)是對(duì)的。并且，當(dāng)你學(xué) 學(xué)了新的詞匯，不要只是覺(jué)得他們是新的詞匯，要想到其他的一些可能會(huì)用到的其他詞語(yǔ)，而搭配對(duì)于記住這些新的詞至關(guān)重 要。

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. 行政助理對(duì)于任何商業(yè)組織都很重要。比如，他們要確保 數(shù)據(jù)正確，記錄好公司正常運(yùn)行的數(shù)據(jù)。

Today, she'll talk about why her work is so important to the company. 上一集中，我們了解了克里斯蒂娜，在拉法基汽車(chē)公司人事部門(mén)的 總的行政助理。在這個(gè)訪談中，克里斯蒂娜告訴了我們她的日常工作。今天，她將要談?wù)撍墓ぷ鲗?duì)于整個(gè)公司的重要性。
