“你pass了!”面試后聽到這句話,你該高興?還是該開始投下一家公司?別急,其實英文里的pass可不止一個意思,關鍵要看上下文!
當pass做及物動詞,有個意思特指“考試或面試通過、合格”。
1.成功完成考試或測試,達到或超過合格分數。
例句:
I passed the English proficiency test with a score of 90.
(我以 90 分的成績通過了英語水平考試。)
She passed all her classes with flying colors.
(她所有科目都取得了優異成績。)
2. 在面試中表現出色,獲得晉級下一輪面試或工作機會的機會。
例句:
I passed the first round of interviews and am now waiting to hear back about the second round.
(我通過了第一輪面試,現在正在等待第二輪面試的結果。)
She passed her job interview and was offered the position.
(她通過了面試并獲得了工作機會。)
I passed the interview!
(我面試過啦!)
所以, 如果面試官說:“You passed the interview”,那恭喜你,基本就是穩了!
根據牛津高階詞典,pass作不及物動詞時,有“不知道,跳過”的含義,所以“I'll pass”就代表"過;不知道;不要"。
?NOT KNOW 不知[V]
~(on something)to say that you do not know the answer to a question, especially during a QUIZ,不知道,過(回答競賽題時的用語)
例句:'What's the capital of Peru?' 'I'll have to pass on that one.'
("秘魯的首都是哪里?" "過。")
例句:'Who wrote 'Catch-22'?' 'Pass (= I don't know).'
("誰寫了《第二十二條軍規》?" "不知道。")
?NOT WANT 不要[V]
~(on something)to say that you do not want something that is offered to you,不要;免掉
例句:Thanks. I'm going to pass on dessert, if you don't mind.
(謝謝,您若不介意,我就免了飯后甜點吧。)
He passed up the opportunity.
(他放棄了這個機會。)
We’ll pass on this candidate.(我們不考慮這個候選人了。)
所以, 如果面試官說:“We’ll pass on you”,那不好意思,你被淘汰了!
pass”既有“通過”,也有“不通過”的意思,“面試被pass了”這種就屬于中式的散裝英語,容易造成誤解。那想表達“我面試沒通過”的意思,要怎么說呢?
I didn’t pass the interview.
最直接的說法,適合初學者,也很清晰。
I didn’t get the job.
更常見于口語中,側重結果(沒被錄用)。
例句:Unfortunately, I didn’t get the job I interviewed for last week.(很遺憾,我沒拿到上周面試的那個工作。)
I failed the interview.
帶有“失敗”的語感,語氣更重一些,不太常用于正式場合。
They turned me down.
比較口語化,意思是“他們拒絕了我”。
例句:I thought the interview went well, but they turned me down.
(我覺得面得不錯,但他們還是拒絕我了。)
I wasn’t selected.
比較官方和書面,多用于職場郵件、通知等。
例句:Thank you for the opportunity, but I understand I wasn’t selected.
(感謝這個機會,我理解我沒有被錄用。)
