练习 1
Delavigne's competitors desire Horatio's .
Delavigne's competitors desire Horatio's skills.
skills: Polly says that Horatio's "fragrances are famous all over the world, and his talents are envied by all of our competitors". Another word for "talent" is "skill", for example: I have excellent writing skills and I would like to be a journalist.
assets: Polly says that Horatio is himself an "asset" for the Delavigne Corp. If someone desired Horatio's "assets", that would mean that they wanted Horatio's money. In accounting terms, an "asset" is a valuable item owned by a company.
protective masks: This is simply incorrect. Polly suggests that Warbuckle wear a protective mask before he enters the laboratory, but she is not expressing that Delavigne's competitors desire Horatio's protective masks.

1 Objective:: The "Objective" is a basic summary designed to encourage a prospective employer to read the CV in full. It usually states job title, key skills and experience and what the candidate is looking for. Note: Paul McCarthy's "Objective" is not ideal! A better accounting profile might read: "Experienced accountant with proven abilities in preparing invoices and financial reports. Now seeking senior position in customer-focused accounts department." Note: This section could also be entitled "profile".
1 Achievements:: This is not the best choice here. "Achievements" are "accomplishments" or "big successes" designed to impress an HR manager.
1 Special skills:: This is not the best choice here. A profile may briefly mention skills, but only as a part of other key information that provides a general overview of an individual.
1 Experience:: This is not the best choice here. The "Experience" section usually provides a summary of a candidate's employment history.
1 Education:: This is not the best choice here. The "Education" section usually lists academic qualifications.
1 Interests: This is not the best choice here. The "Interests" section of a CV provides additional information about a person's hobbies and activities outside of the workplace.
1 Referees:: This isn't the best choice here. The "Referee" section usually includes the names of people (former bosses for example) who can comment on a candidate's skills and experience.
2 Achievements:: The term "achievements" means "accomplishments". In this section of the CV, a candidate tries to impress a prospective employer by listing their main successes. Luna may have been more impressed if Paul had written: Presented a seminar at the Royal Institute of Chartered Accountants Conference 2004; Trained 40 senior bank managers in new credit control application; Implemented new accounting procedures that increased efficiency by 50 percent.
2 Objective:: This heading doesn't make sense here. The "Objective" section briefly summarizes the job candidate and their career goals.
2 Special skills:: This heading doesn't make sense here. The "Special skills" section usually lists key skills and abilities.
2 Experience:: This isn't the best choice. An "experience" section usually shows exact dates and gives an idea of career progression.
2 Education:: This isn't the best choice. A "qualifications" section presents an individual's academic background, not professional "highlights".
2 Interests:: This is not the best choice here. The "Interests" section of a CV provides additional information about a person's hobbies and activities outside of the workplace.

3 Special skills:: The term "special skills" describes specific abilities or talents that a person possesses. Note, when listing skills, we often use the gerund (or ING form), because a verb is treated like a noun. For example, in the CV, Paul writes: negotiating contracts and working as part of a team. He might also have impressed Luna with: Preparing financial statements; Offering expert advice to clients; Maintaining accounting records. An "ability" is synonymous with a "skill".
3 Achievements:: "Achievements" need to contain past tenses (not the gerund or ING form of verbs) and be more specific. For example: negotiating contracts and working as part of a team --> skill; Successfully negotiated maintenance contract with Asuka Bank worth 10 million dollars --> achievement.
3 Objective:: This isn't the best choice here. The "Objective" section briefly summarizes the job candidate and their career goals.
