Hi my name is Rebecca and in today's lesson, we're going to talk about how you can describe your work activities, okay?
大家好，我是Rebecca。今天我们将学习如何描述你的工作活动。
And we're going to focus on one particular word "responsible", but the question is what are you going to talk about, how are you going to use it. Alright? Just one second.
我们将学习“负责的”这个单词，学习的重点是如何谈论及使用这个单词。
Okay. So the point is you can be answering two possible questions or you can be talking about two possible scenarios:
好了，那么我们重点是你可以用于回答两种可能的问题或在两种可能的场景下使用：
who you are responsible to and what you are responsible for and according to that you will choose a different preposition "to" or "for". All right? Let me give you an example, so you understand what I mean.
第一个是你听谁指挥，第二个是你对...负责。根据场景的不同，你需要选择不同的介词“to”或者“for”。
If someone asks you, who are you responsible to? They are asking you who is your manager, who is your boss. So then you would say, I'm responsible to John Miller.
如果有人问你，who are you responsible to? 他们是在询问你的经理是谁，你的老板是谁。因此，你应该回答，我听John Miller的指挥。
For example, let's suppose in this example that you are a marketing assistant during the marketing department,
例如，假设你是市场部的市场助理，
you're a marketing assistant and you have a manager whose name is John Miller, he's the marketing manager, so you say I'm responsible to John Miller.
你是市场助理，你的经理是John Miller，他是市场部经理，因此，你回答我听John Miller的指挥。
Let me ask you, what are you responsible for? Now they're talking about the area that you are responsible for. So you say, I'm responsible for the European market. Okay?
那么，当问你“what are you responsible for?”时，他们是是在谈论你所负责的领域。因此，你回答，我负责欧洲市场。明白了么？
I'm responsible to John Miller. I'm responsible for the European market.
我听John Miller的指挥。我负责欧洲市场。
Small difference but it makes quite a lot of difference when you're actually explaining it.
虽然区别不大，但是在真正解释的时候，两句的含义非常不同。
Let's take another example. Now let's say you work in the human resources department, human resources is also called HR for short,
再举一个例子。假如你在人力资源部工作，人力资源，简称HR，
it's also sometimes known as the personnel department, not personal but personnel department but here we've written HR.
同样也被叫做人事部门，不是“personal”而是“personnel”，但通常会缩写为HR。
So let's say you are an HR assistant and your manager, your boss is the HR director so you would say,
假设你是HR助力，那么你的经理、你的老板就是HR主管，因此你会说，
I am responsible to Mary Turner who is the HR director. I am responsible for recruitment and training.
我听从Mary Turner的指挥，她是HR主管。而我负责招聘和培训。
Okay, this is a small example, it's a little lesson but I think it will help you to express more clearly what you do at work in correct English.
这是一个简单的例子，但是我认为它能帮助你在工作中更好、更清晰地使用英语。
