你有什麼盲點嗎?
一個人不可能完美無缺,只要是人就會有盲點,因此,遇到此類題目照實回答無妨,但是要注意,提及的內容必須與工作相關。另外,有盲點沒關係,但是否會採取哪些行動讓自己不受盲點的矇蔽,才是面試官在意的重點。
I would say that my blind spot is to take some things too personally in the office.我認為我的盲點是,在辦公室我會將某些事情視為是針對我個人的。
To be honest, I do have a blind spot. I sometimes take things too personally in the office. For example, during a meeting if my boss mentioned that a certain task should've been done better, I would think he was criticizing my performance. I also understand that it's all about business, nothing personal, but I just can't help wanting to take things personally. In order to make myself more aware of how my blind spot might impact my decisions, I ask some of my close colleagues to remind me of it all the time. In addition, I also watch my own thoughts and stay conscious of how I think.說實話,我的確有個盲點。在辦公室我有時會把事情視為是針對我個人的。比方說,在會議中如果我老闆提到某項工作可以做得更好,我就會認為老闆是在批評我的表現。我也了解這是就事論事,無關個人,但是我就是會忍不住認為事情是針對我而來。為了讓自己更了解我的盲點可能會如何影響我的決策,我請一些跟我較親近的同事隨時提醒我。除此之外,我也會注意我自己的思維並時時留意自己的想法。
- I would say that my blind spot is to [do something]. In order to make myself more aware of how my blind spot might impact my decisions, I ask some of my close colleagues to remind me of it all the time.
我認為我的盲點是〔做某事〕。為了讓自己更了解我的盲點可能會影響我的決策,我請一些跟我較親近的同事隨時提醒我。

出國人士碰到生病時,需要準確地表達身體的不適;從事醫療工作的同仁,常有外籍病人聽不懂醫學專有名詞的英文解釋。因此簡單實用的健康相關詞語,可以降低不少就診的障礙。
