M: Oh, the sweaty palms, trying to find your way around. It’s a lot.
M：喔，那種手心冒汗、到處找路的感覺，真的資訊量爆炸。
J: It is. And you’re just bombarded with instructions. Get this ID card, sign these papers, find your desk.
J：真的。而且你會被一堆指示轟炸：去拿員工證、簽這些文件、找到你的座位。
M: And because it’s so full of instructions like, you know, “go here” or “sign this”.
M：也因為這種情境充滿了像是「去那邊」「在這裡簽名」這類指示語句。
M: If you can master the rhythm of these conversations, you’ll feel a lot better in real life and, uh, on the exam.
M：如果你能掌握這類對話的節奏，不管是在真實生活，還是……在考試裡，都會輕鬆很多。

J: Okay, poor Alex. That was a whirlwind of instructions. Let’s break down some of that vocabulary.
J：好，可憐的 Alex，那真的是一連串指示狂轟亂炸。我們來拆解一下裡面的一些單字吧。
M: There were some very specific business terms in there.
M：裡面出現了不少非常明確的商業用語。
J: The first one that stood out to me was when HR asked for his ID for “verification”. What does that really mean?
J：第一個讓我特別注意到的是，人資要求他出示證件做「verification」。這到底是什麼意思？
M: Right, verification. It’s a noun that basically means the process of checking if something is true or valid. She just needs to prove he is who he says he is.
M：對，verification 是一個名詞，基本意思就是「確認真偽或有效性」的過程。她只是需要確認他真的是他所說的那個人。
J: Then Kevin from IT handed him an “access badge”. I feel like every office has a different name for this.
J：接著 IT 部門的 Kevin 給了他一個「access badge」，我覺得每家公司對這個東西的叫法都不太一樣。
M: A fob, a key card… But “access badge” is the standard formal term. You’ll see it on tests and in handbooks.
M：像是 fob、key card……但「access badge」是最標準、正式的說法，你會在考試和員工手冊裡看到。
J: And Kevin also mentioned a “quick start guide”.
J：而且 Kevin 還提到了一個「quick start guide」。
M: Which is just what it sounds like. A manual to get set up fast.
M：顧名思義，就是一本讓你快速上手的說明手冊。
J: But then Sophie, the manager… she used my favorite word of the dialogue. She told Alex to “shadow” Jamie.
J：但接下來主管 Sophie 用了我整段對話裡最喜歡的一個字，她叫 Alex 去「shadow」Jamie。
M: Yes, “shadow”. In business, this is a verb. It doesn’t mean… you know… a dark shape on the ground.
M：對，「shadow」。在商業英文裡這是一個動詞，不是指……你知道的……地上的影子。
M: It means to follow a colleague and watch how they work to learn the job. It’s a really common training method.
M：它的意思是跟著同事、觀察他們怎麼工作，藉此學習工作內容，是一種非常常見的訓練方式。
J: And then she got a little serious. She warned him about “confidential files”.
J：接著她的語氣變得比較嚴肅，提醒他注意「confidential files」。
M: A crucial word. “Confidential” just means private or secret information. Things that need to be protected. It’s usually tied to “company policy”, which just means the rules.
M：「Confidential」是一個非常關鍵的字，意思就是私人或機密資訊，是需要被保護的內容，通常會和「company policy」，也就是公司規定，一起出現。
J: So beyond the vocabulary, the way they spoke was very… um… polite, but also very purposeful.
J：所以除了單字本身，他們說話的方式也很……嗯……有禮貌，但同時又很有目的性。
M: And this is where the sentence patterns come in. Did you notice how the HR manager said “just to confirm”?
M：這就是句型發揮作用的地方。你有注意到人資主管說了「just to confirm」嗎？
J: “Just to confirm you’ll be working under the marketing team.”
J：「Just to confirm you’ll be working under the marketing team.」
M: Right. It’s such a polite way to double-check something without sounding like you don’t trust the person.
M：對，這是一種非常有禮貌的確認方式，不會讓人覺得你不信任對方。
J: And Kevin used “for your reference”.
J：而 Kevin 則用了「for your reference」。
M: “For your reference, I printed a quick start guide.” You use this when you’re giving extra, helpful information. It’s a signal that says, “Hey, this is to help you.”
M：「For your reference, I printed a quick start guide.」這句話是在你提供額外、有幫助的資訊時使用，意思是在說：「這是給你參考用的。」
J: I also caught that the manager said “as discussed”.
J：我也注意到主管用了「as discussed」。
M: That’s a powerful one. It refers back to a previous conversation. It shows you’re on the same page and that this isn’t a new surprise. “As discussed, you’ll shadow Jamie.”
M：那是一個很有力量的說法，它指的是之前談過的內容，表示雙方有共識，這不是臨時冒出來的新安排。「As discussed, you’ll shadow Jamie.」
J: And finally, the warning. She didn’t just say “No USB drives.”
J：最後是那個提醒，她沒有直接說「No USB drives」。
M: No, she said “Please don’t.”
M：沒有，她說的是「Please don’t」。
J: “Please don’t store confidential files on a personal USB.”
J：「Please don’t store confidential files on a personal USB.」
M: It’s a soft but firm way to state the rules. It keeps the tone professional, not aggressive.
M：這是一種溫和但堅定的規定說法，能維持專業，而不會讓人感覺強硬或咄咄逼人。
J: It really makes a difference. These phrases can make that awkward first day go so much smoother.
J：真的差很多，這些句子可以讓尷尬的第一天變得順很多。
M: If you can use “just to confirm” and “as discussed” correctly on day one, you already sound like you belong there.
M：如果你在第一天就能正確使用「just to confirm」和「as discussed」，聽起來就已經很像自己人了。
J: That’s it for today’s MJ English. Remember, 5 minutes a day is all you need to win at work, win the TOEIC, and win over your colleagues. If you found this episode useful, don’t forget to follow and share it with your friends. See you next time.
