面试被要求撩裙看腿:give me a twirl

一间高层办公室里,年轻女性刚说完自己想在镜头前工作,对面就让她站起来转一圈。I want to convince you that that is where I belong(我想让您相信,镜头前才是我该待的地方)说得再诚恳,也挡不住一句 give me a twirl(转一圈给我看)。面试里听懂这种客气的指令,比背单词更要紧。

发生了什么

艾尔斯的办公室,会面先聊到梅根敢说真话、观众要的是真实,随后一位想在镜头前工作的年轻女性推销自己:I want to convince you that that is where I belong(我想让您相信,镜头前才是我该待的地方),又补一句 I'd be freakin' phenomenal(我会极其出色)。话锋一转,对方夸她漂亮,give me a twirl(转一圈给我看),再让她把裙子往上拉,接着一句 It's a visual medium(电视是靠看的)。这些说法在面试和职场对话里都用得上;最该听懂的是:夸奖后面跟着指令,那就不是夸奖。

I want to convince you that that is where I belong, Mr. Ailes.

我想让您相信,那才是我该待的地方,艾尔斯先生。 把求职说成归属宣言,礼貌称呼压住野心,比‘我想要这份工作’更狠。

It's a visual medium, Kayla.

这是个视觉媒介,凯拉。 用行业术语给越界要求找理由,平静得刺人。

关于这一章的问题

give me a twirl 是什么意思?

是让人原地「转一圈给我看」。台词里 Here, stand up and give me a twirl 之后接一句 Now?,紧接着 Just a quick spin,就是「就快速转一圈」。

it's a visual medium 怎么理解?

visual medium 的意思是「视觉媒介」,指电视主要靠画面。台词里 It's a visual medium, Kayla 出现在「把裙子撩起来,让我看看你的腿」之后,就是拿电视的性质当理由。

「实情是」用英语怎么开口?

用 the thing is。台词里 Well, the thing is, sir, I actually started on-air during college in Central Florida,就是先垫一句「实情是」,再说自己大学就上过镜。

「我该待的位置」英语怎么说?

where I belong。台词里 I want to convince you that that is where I belong 的意思就是「我想让您相信,那才是我该待的地方」。

in the spotlight 是什么意思?

字面是「在聚光灯下」,意思是「在公众关注下」。台词里一句 few have courage in the spotlight,说的是在众人注视下还敢说真话的人不多。
