Hi everybody, welcome to www.engvid.com, I'm Adam.

大家好，歡迎來到 www.engvid.com，我是亞當。

未來簡單式

In today's video, I want to give you some expressions that you will probably come across or hear or even use when you're starting in the business world, like when you're starting a new job or you're starting your own business, hiring employees, and so on.

在今天的視頻中，我想給大家介紹一些你在商業領域起步時可能會遇到或聽到甚至使用的表達方式，比如在你開始一份新工作或自己創業、招聘員工時等等。

So, most of these expressions come from that situation, from that context, okay?

所以，這些表達大多來自於當時的情況和背景，好嗎？

So, we're going to start with get up to speed.

所以，我們先從快速入門開始。

So, when you join a new company or a new office or whatever, you need to get up to speed.

是以，當你加入一家新公司或新辦事處或其他地方時，你需要儘快適應。

You need to find out what everybody's doing, find out all the newest projects, all the newest developments, and make sure you're at the same place as all your co-workers.

你需要了解每個人都在做什麼，瞭解所有最新的項目，所有最新的發展，並確保你和所有同事都在同一個地方。

So here, speed doesn't necessarily mean like movement speed.

是以，這裡的速度並不一定是指移動速度。

It means like understanding what's going on, basically the pace of the work.

這意味著要了解正在發生的事情，基本上是工作的節奏。

So, on the first day, obviously you don't know what everybody's doing, so you're a little bit behind.

所以，在第一天，你顯然不知道每個人都在做什麼，所以你會有點落後。

Once you talk to everybody, have a few meetings, find out all the projects, then you're up to speed.

一旦你和每個人都談過話，開過幾次會，瞭解了所有的項目，那麼你就可以加快速度了。

So, you want to get up to speed, but it helps if you're ready to hit the ground running.

是以，你想盡快適應新環境，但如果你已經做好準備，就會對你有所幫助。

So, hit the ground running means start working right away from day one.

是以，"一馬當先 "意味著從第一天起就開始工作。

It doesn't mean like, okay, spend a few days figuring out where the washroom is, where the coffee maker is.

這並不是說，好吧，花幾天時間弄清楚洗手間在哪裡，咖啡機在哪裡。

First day, start working on the project, start meeting clients, start having business meetings, start doing what everybody else is doing right from the start.

第一天，開始做項目，開始見客戶，開始開商務會議，從一開始就做別人都在做的事情。

But, most companies will understand that you will probably go through a learning curve.

但是，大多數公司都會理解你可能會經歷一段學習曲線。

So, even though you're ready to work and you're qualified, you have the training, you have the experience, there are things you're not going to know about the new place.

是以，即使你已經準備好工作，你有資格，你受過培訓，你有經驗，但你對新地方還是有不瞭解的地方。

And so, like you're on a curve, this is how much you can do at the beginning, and as you go, you learn faster and you adjust quicker, you do the work much more quickly, right?

所以，就像你在一條曲線上一樣，這是你一開始能做的事情，隨著你的成長，你會學得更快，調整得更快，你會更快地完成工作，對嗎？

And that's the learning curve, that's basically the adjustment time.

這就是學習曲線，基本上就是適應時間。

And it helps if you can learn on the fly.

如果你能隨學隨用，就會有所幫助。

So, basically hit the ground running means start working right away, but there's a lot of new things for you to learn, so you learn them on the fly, learn them as you go.

所以，基本上是 "立即上手"，也就是馬上開始工作，但有很多新東西要學，所以你要飛快地學習，邊學邊做。

Like, nobody's going to sit with you and train you.

比如，沒人會坐在你身邊訓練你。

You start working and then you're learning something as you're working it, then you're learning something new as you're working it.

你開始工作，然後在工作中學習，在學習中工作。

And we use this a lot, not only in business context, even in other situations where you're learning something new, learn by doing it, not by being trained to do it.

我們經常使用這句話，不僅是在商業環境中，即使是在學習新知識的其他情況下，也要通過實踐來學習，而不是通過培訓來學習。

Learn the ropes basically means learn everything there is to know about the company, right?

瞭解公司的基本情況就是了解公司的一切，對嗎？

So, learn the way they do things, the systems, the protocols, the dress code, even.

是以，要學習他們做事的方式、制度、規程，甚至是著裝規範。

Everything that you need to know about working in a place is called the ropes.

在一個地方工作所需的一切知識都被稱為 "繩索"。

So, you're learning the ropes, you're learning how to be a member of this team in particular.

所以，你正在學習如何成為這個團隊的一員。

Then hopefully, when you come to a new office or a new job, someone will be there to catch you up.

然後，當你來到一個新的辦公室或新的工作崗位時，希望會有人幫你補習。

So, you need to catch up to everybody else, but if somebody catches you up means they help you understand what's going on, right?

所以，你需要趕上其他人，但如果有人趕上你，就意味著他們幫助你瞭解發生了什麼，對嗎？

So they, that person, gets you up to speed.

所以，他們，那個人，會讓你儘快適應。

Get someone up to speed, catch someone up, same idea.

讓某人跟上速度，讓某人趕上速度，想法都一樣。

From the ground up, so basically, not only do you need to learn your position and your job and what's going forward, you need to learn everything.

從頭開始，所以基本上，你不僅需要學習你的職位、你的工作和未來的發展，你還需要學習一切。

So, from the ground up basically means everything from the beginning, from the basics, to where you are, to where you're going, everything.

是以，"從頭開始 "基本上意味著一切從頭開始，從最基本的開始，到你現在的位置，再到你要去的地方，所有的一切。

So, right now, during your first few days working somewhere, there's going to be a lot of misunderstandings because, you know, you don't really know what everybody's doing, what everybody's thinking, what problems they've had and fixed, etc.

所以，現在，在你剛到某個地方工作的頭幾天，會有很多誤解，因為你不知道每個人都在做什麼，每個人都在想什麼，他們遇到過什麼問題，又解決了什麼問題，等等。

So, if you're on the same page, means you're at the point where you understand everybody understands the exact same thing, right?

所以，如果你們在同一起跑線上，就意味著你們明白每個人都明白完全相同的事情，對嗎？

Everything they know, you know, and so on.

他們知道的一切，你都知道，等等。

We also use this to mean to agree with someone, right?

我們也用它來表示同意某人的觀點，對嗎？

So, if we have a disagreement, then we're going to have a little bit of a discussion so we can get on the same page, we can be in agreement.

是以，如果我們有不同意見，那麼我們就要進行一番討論，這樣我們就能站在同一起跑線上，達成一致。

That's a different context, but the same expression.

Now, right now, maybe you don't have a job and you're trying to get into a new company.

現在，也許你還沒有工作，正試圖進入一家新公司。

So, it's very difficult to get into a new position because nobody knows you.

是以，進入一個新職位非常困難，因為沒有人認識你。

So, you send your resume, a cover letter, maybe you make some phone calls.

所以，你要寄出履歷和求職信，也許還要打幾個電話。

All you need is just a little bit of an opportunity and from there, you'll be able to go and convince someone that they should hire you or they should have you in their company.

你所需要的只是一點點機會，然後你就能去說服別人，讓他們相信他們應該僱用你，或者他們應該讓你加入他們的公司。

But that little opportunity means you got your foot in the door.

但是，這小小的機會意味著你已經踏進了這扇門。

Your foot is there, the door is open, now you can walk in and do what you need to do.

你的腳在那裡，門是開著的，現在你可以走進去做你需要做的事情。

That's basically what it means, to start.

So, get the ball rolling, start the process.

所以，開始行動吧，啟動程序。

Now, if you're coming to a new company, they will want you to start working on a new project.

現在，如果你來到一家新公司，他們會希望你開始為一個新項目工作。

So, they'll give you all the information, they'll give you a support team so they can get the ball rolling, get this project started.

是以，他們會給你所有的資訊，給你一個支持團隊，這樣他們就可以開始工作，啟動這個項目。

所以，這些都是主要的表達方式。

And I put this one, it doesn't necessarily mean for beginning.

我把這個放在這裡，並不一定意味著開始。

This could be beginning, middle, or end, any time, but you should try to go the extra mile.

這可以是開頭、中間或結尾，任何時候都可以，但你應該儘量多走一英里。

Do a little bit more than is asked of you, right?

比別人要求你做的多一點，對嗎？

So, by learning all these expressions and doing all these things, you're showing your new employer that you are willing to go the extra mile, means you're willing to work harder and do more than what is actually necessary.

是以，通過學習所有這些表達方式和做所有這些事情，你就是在向你的新僱主表明，你願意付出額外的努力，意味著你願意更加努力地工作，做比實際需要更多的事情。

And then you'll be in a very good position going forward, and so on.

然後，你就會處於一個非常有利的位置，以此類推。

Some good expressions, make sure you understand them.

一些很好的表達方式，請務必理解。
