=================================
英語で勤務期間を伝える際の定番表現2パターン
=================================
社会人になると、「この会社でどのくらい働いているんですか?」と聞かれることがよくあると思いますが、そんな時、英語ではどのように返答していますか?日本ではnew employee、new hire、new recruitなどの表現を使っている人をたまに見かけますが、これらの表現は実はネイティブの間では殆ど使われません。そこで今回は、多くのネイティブが使っている代表的な表現2つをご紹介します。
--------------------------------------------------
1) This is my _____ year.
→「入社◯◯年目です」
--------------------------------------------------
日本語の「入社◯◯年目です」に相当する表現で、英語ではこの言い方で表現するのが一般的でしょう。入社1年目であれば、「This is my first year」、2年目であれば「This is my second year」のように、myとyearの間に勤務年数(序数)を入れるだけでOKです。
✔英語では、1年目のことを「Rookie」や「Freshman」と表現すると聞いたことがある人もいるかも知れませんが、これは仕事(会社)においては使わないので気をつけましょう。「Rookie」は、高校や大学の部活入部1年目およびプロ選手1年目など、基本的にスポーツ選手に対して使われます。そして、「Freshman」は、高校と大学の1年目(1年生)の学生に対して使われます。
<例文>
I started working there 6 months ago. It's still my first year.
(6ヶ月前にそこで働き始めたところで、入社してまだ1年目です。)
I've been here for a while now. This is my 10th year.
(ここで働き始めてもうだいぶ経ちます。入社10年目です。)
〜会話例〜
A: How long have you been working here?
(ここで働いてどのくらいになりますか?)
B: This is my third year.
(3年目です。)
--------------------------------------------------
2) I've been (working) here for _____ year(s).
→「ここで_____年間働いています」
--------------------------------------------------
この表現は、「◯◯年ここで働いています」を意味し、上記と同様、ネイティブの会話でよく耳にする言い方です。beenの後のworkingについては、話し相手が仕事の話をしていることがわかっているのであれば、あってもなくてもどちらでも意味は全く同じです。ちなみに勤務年数をforとyearの間に入れる際、OnceやSecondなどの序数ではなく、oneやtwoなど普通の数字になるので気をつけましょう。
✔「here」の代わりに「with 会社名」でもOK。
<例文>
I've been with ABC Inc. for 7 years.
(ABC株式会社では7年間働いています。)
I've only been with them for less than a year. I still have a lot to learn.
(そこで働き始めて、まだ1年も経っていません。まだまだ学ぶことが沢山あります。)
〜会話例〜
A: How long have you been working for Starbucks?
(スターバックスで働いてどのくらいになるんですか?)
B: I've been with Starbucks for about 5 years now.
(スターバックスに入社して、約5年になります。)

There's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.
通往目的地的路不止一條,有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步,然後再邁出下一步,幾年下來,將會成為巨大成就。

I didn’t meet my father until I was 6 years old. My parents had a comfortable, middle-class life in Shanghai, or as close as you could get under communism. But they always wanted to live overseas, and just before I was born, my dad came to Sydney to set things up. I don’t know why, but in the end, my mother and I didn’t join him until I was 6.
•a middle-class life 中產階級生活
•set things up 打點一切
•live overseas 往海外生活
•in the end 最後 (表達在經過一段時間或一連串事件之後的結果)
直到六歲前我都未曾見過父親。我的雙親在上海過著舒適的中產階級生活,或著說,在共產階級下所能得到的最接近的生活。他們一直響往海外生活,就在我出生前,我父親來到雪梨打點一切。但不知何故,直到六歲那年我與母親才終於與父親團聚。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Unfortunately, half a year after we arrived, he left us. That was a huge shock. Our transition had already been quite difficult, as we both didn't speak English. Also, as Shanghai was such a big bustling city, Sydney felt a bit like the countryside, especially on the weekends, as no shops were open back then!
•shock 令人震驚的事件(或經歷);驚愕,震驚 (come as a great shock 讓人倍感震驚)
•transition 轉變;過渡
•a bustling city 繁華都會
不幸的是,就在我跟母親抵達半年後,父親離開了我們。這是個巨大的打擊,因爲我們不會說英文,在適應過渡期本就已過得相當艱辛。此外,不同於上海的繁華都會,雪梨更像鄉下,尤其在週末,那時連商店都不開門。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
We were very much reliant on my dad, not only financially, but also as a conduit into the wider community. So to have that broken was quite distressing. I remember Mum crying a lot. As we had become socially isolated, we didn’t find out anything about Centrelink, so we survived on her savings for a while, and then got some help from her family back in China.
•be reliant on… 依賴...
•a conduit into 進入...的渠道
•distressing (adj.) 令人苦惱的,令人擔憂的
•become socially isolated 變得孤立於社會
•survive on her savings 僅靠的她積蓄過日子
我們相當依賴我父親,不僅是經濟,他也是我們進入更廣泛社區的渠道。因此,當局面被打破時令人相當痛苦,我還記得母親時常哭泣。由於我們孤立於社會,所以我們並不知道澳洲社會福利聯絡中心 (Centrelink)的任何資訊,僅靠母親的積蓄支撐了一段時間,然後從母親在中國的娘家得到一些幫助。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Eventually, Mum moved us down to Melbourne, where we were able to make some new networks and family friendships. But I was bullied a bit at school about things like my food and clothing! Whenever someone bullied me, I would defend myself, but because I didn’t have the language skills to explain to the teacher why, I got in trouble quite a bit. I ended up having to move school 3 times before I came to Balwyn Primary School, which was relatively multicultural.
•be able to 能夠
•make new networks 建立新的人脈,關係網
•be bullied 被霸凌
•language skills 語言能力
•get in trouble 惹上麻煩
•end up 最後處於;最後成爲;以…告終
•relatively 相對地
•multicultural 多元文化的
最後,母親帶著我搬遷到墨爾本,在那我們能夠建立起新的網絡與家庭情誼。然而。我在學校飽受霸凌,例如我的食物及衣物。每當有人霸凌我,我會自我防衛,但我的語言技巧不足以向老師解釋事發原因,因此常常陷入麻煩。後來我不得不再三轉學,直到就讀相對多元文化的博文小學(Balwyn Primary School)。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
After that, I did alright. Music featured very prominently in my life. I had started learning the violin from the age of 2.5 years old and even with all the troubles that were going on in my life, had somehow still kept up with it. As a result, I got a music scholarship to Trinity Grammar School. But even there I used to get into quite a lot of mischief, and would often skip school to go to the movies.
•do alight 過得不錯,做的不錯
•feature (v.) 以…為特色;給…以顯著的地位
•prominently 重要地;著名地;突出地,顯眼地
之後,我便過得不錯。音樂在我生活中佔有重要的一席之地,我從兩歲半開始學習小提琴,儘管生活中事事不如意,我依然堅持不輟。因此,我獲得三一文法學校( Trinity Grammar School)的音樂獎學金。但即使在那,我也常惡作劇、逃學看電影。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
By the end of year 11, I was told I would have to either repeat the year, or consider going to another school, which was quite humiliating for my mum. I decided to move school and surprisingly, I ended up doing quite well in year 12! As a result, I ended up getting into a double degree in Law and Music at Monash.
•repeat the year 留級 ; 重唸一年
•humiliating 令人感到恥辱的,丟臉的
11年級結束時,我被告知要麽被留級,要麼考慮轉學,這對我母親來說相當丟人。我決定轉學,而令人驚訝的是,我在12年級的時候表現優異,最後錄取蒙納士大學法律與音樂雙學位。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
When I started, my first thought was that I didn’t belong because I had done so badly in school up to year 11 and everyone else seemed so smart. But I put my head down, got through it, and ended up getting a job in the legal department of a major manufacturing company, which was a different approach to what most law students do.
•do not belong 不屬於這
•put my head down 埋頭苦幹
•the legal department of ...的法律部門
•a different approach 不同途徑
•approach (思考問題的)方式,方法,態度
當我開始進入大學,最初的想法是我不屬於這,因為我在11年級前都表現不佳,而這裡的人似乎都聰明絕頂。但我埋頭苦幹,咬牙撐過,最後在一家大型製造公司的法律部門找到工作,這與多數法律系學生的途徑不同。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I really enjoyed it. It was hard work, but I learned a lot of foundational business, legal and corporate communication skills. After that I worked in corporate governance in RMIT, then started to moonlight as a lecturer in the Law Faculty. Eventually, they asked me if I wanted to do a PhD and I blindly said yes! I next worked at Swinburne University, and then was head-hunted to lead the corporate legal team at the Commercial Passenger Vehicles Commission.
•foundational 基礎的
•communication skills 溝通技巧
•corporate governance
•moonlight (v.) (尤指瞞著僱主)從事第二職業,兼職
•headhunt (v.) 物色(人才); 挖角
•legal team 法律團隊
我非常喜歡這份工作,這是份辛苦的工作,但我學習了很多基礎商業、法律以及公司溝通技巧。之後我在皇家墨爾本理工大學( RMIT)從事公司治理工作,並開始兼職擔任法律系講師。後來他們問我是否想要讀博士,我便盲目地答應了。接下來,我在斯威本大學(Swinburne University)工作,再被挖角到商用小客車委員會領導法律團隊。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I had a good life, but after a while, I realised I wanted a different kind of job. I could see my seniors were making a lot of money but that their family life was not that good. And looking at my own upbringing, I wanted to be the kind of father who could be present in my own kids’ lives. So I decided on dentistry. It would not only allow me to use the hand skills that I had developed from playing the violin, but also the analytical and reasoning skills that I'd developed in law. Plus it would be flexible, and offer me a stable income and the chance to meet different people every day!
•upbringing 教養
•decide on sth 決定某事或東西
•analytical and reasoning skills 分析和推理能力
•offer a stable income 提供穩定收入
我的生活很不錯,但一段時間後,我意識到自己想要一份不同的工作。我知道前輩們賺了很多錢,但他們的家庭生活並不美滿。看著自己的成長經歷,我想要成為可以在孩子生活中出席的父親,所以我決定改行當牙醫。這項職業能讓我使用從拉小提琴中發展出的手部技巧,也能運用我在法律中發展出的分析與推理技能。此外,這個職業相當靈活,能為我提供穩定收入,並有機會每天與不同的人見面。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
My now fiancée, who was my girlfriend at the time, was also applying for further study, and coincidentally we both got into university in South Australia, so we moved to Adelaide together a few years ago.
•fiancée 未婚妻
•at the time 當時
•apply for 申請
•further study 繼續教育,進修;進一步研究;深造
•coincidentally 碰巧地;巧合地
我的未婚妻,當時的女友,也申請繼續深造,巧的是我們都考上南澳大學(University of South Australia),所以幾年前一起搬到阿得雷德( Adelaide)。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I was lucky to get a university job at Flinders University. Initially, I started out as a casual lecturer in the law school, but I’ve since transitioned into teaching health law and research, and I’m currently writing a few books on the intersection between law and medicine. And also, obviously, trying to finish my dentistry degree!
•start out as… 起初擔任...
•transition into… 轉變到...
我很幸運的在福林德斯大學(Flinders University)找到工作,起初我在法學院擔任臨時講師,但我後來轉換到醫事法教學及研究。目前我正撰寫幾本關於法律與醫學相接的書籍,並努力完成我的牙醫學位。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Mum eventually retrained as a Chinese high school teacher, and she’s still teaching to this day. Like most first generation migrants, she struggled quite a lot, and invested heavily in my success. After we’re married, my fiancée and I are planning to have children, and I’m sure they will have it much easier than I did.
•retrain 重新培養;再培訓;再訓練
•to this day 至今
•first generation migrants 第一代移民
•struggle a lot 掙扎奮鬥許久
•have it much easier 過的比較輕鬆
我的母親最終重新接受培訓,成為一名中文高中老師並執教至今。如同大多數第一代移民,她掙扎奮鬥許久,並為我的成功投資甚多。我與未婚妻打算婚後生孩子,我確信孩子會過的比我輕鬆得多。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Still, a lot of the failures that I’ve had in my life have really informed a lot of my successes. Looking back, I wouldn't really want to change that to have a smoother life.
•inform [正式] 影響某人的態度或意見
https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/inform
•have a smoother life 有一個更順遂的人生
我的生活中的種種失敗確實為我的成功提供借鑑。回首過去,我不會想要改變那些坎坷經歷去擁有一個更順遂的人生。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Over the years, I've learned that perseverance is very important. I hope that through telling my story, I can be an example to others who might be in a similar position as I was: to show that there's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.
•over the years 多年來
•perseverance 不屈不撓,堅持不懈
•be an example 成為榜樣
•be in a similar position 處於相似的處境
•down the road/line/track 將來(的路)
多年來,我學到堅持不懈是至關重要的。我希望透過講述自己的故事,能成為其他可能與我有相似處境的人的榜樣:向他們展示通往目的地的路不止一條,有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步,然後再邁出下一步,幾年下來,將會成為巨大成就。

Who is ready for Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節) ? Come and get the lantern with me in Sai Ying Pun!
New Mid-Autumn Festival Shopping Vlog is ready! Watch till the end to see which lantern we bought at last: https://youtu.be/gV0pRlIv2Qs
There is a number a paper offering stores near Queen's Road West, Sai Ying Pun 西營盤皇后大道西. Every year before the Mid-Autumn festival, the street becomes a Lantern Street! One thing we found disappointing is that the quality of the handmade lantern dropped. Swipe to see the last 2 photos, those are the rabbit and goldfish lanterns we found 4 years ago.
Don’t forget to check out 卓越食品餅店, which is right opposite to these Lantern shop for the Piggy biscuit #豬籠餅 #豬仔餅, which was once a very popular Mid-autumn festival snack!
Bakers used to bake a small portion of mooncake dough to test the temperature of the oven. To sell off leftover mooncake dough, bakers make it into the shape of piggy, goldfish, and sold them in tiny colourful pig cages.
Mid Autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month (falls on 21st September, 2021 in western calendar). On this full moon (which symbolizes family reunion) night, family members gather to eat mooncakes, play lanterns and enjoy the moon.
How to go: Take MTR to Sai Ying Pun station, Exit A1 西營盤皇后大道西

歡迎光臨~我是樂筆!
終於嘗試網路線上錄音,意外的品質......尚可接受!
大辛大學快畢業時決定休學,用全部的專注堅持走他想走的路─經營社群。不到一年時間,累積五千粉絲,並且受邀至各大企業、校園擔任專業簡報講師!最近他又集結一群優秀的創作者一起開了個很厲害的FB社團:BXTeam 職涯交流吧!
某天推薦這個社團給新銳 Youtuber「哇喜珮珮」時,他很驚訝我認識大辛並表示他欣賞大辛富有美感與邏輯的創作有段時間了,一直很想認識大辛......看到他發光的眼神,我決定默默幫珮圓夢,找他一起採訪「大辛先生」,結束時珮一直對我說:「我的榮幸!好開心自己參與其中!大辛的分享實在太受用了!」
相信這集對所有「想經營社群的人」都很受用,謝謝大辛不藏私地跟我們分享他如何開始經營社群,又是如何在孤獨的創作路上找到他的方式,將他人生的劣勢轉為激勵人的故事!
前幾天因為要製作投影片的關係私下問了大辛一些小技巧,結果大辛不但分享技巧給我,還直接幫我做了一個工具包,打開來應有盡有!真的是活出創作者樂於分享的愛呀~
還在猶豫的你,開始吧,我們一起走!
Welcome to Sunlight~
Finally I had tried to record online. Out of the blue, the quality was acceptable!
Mr. Bigxin decided to quit school before he soon graduated, focusing on social media management. Owning over 5,000 fans within one year, he was invited to give a speech about slides to enterprises and campuses! Recently, he has brought a group of excellent creators together to start an impressive FB group: BXTeam!
One day I recommended the group to Passion, a new youtuber, and then she was surprised that Mr. Bigxin and I were acquainted and said that she wanted to meet Mr. Bigxin because she admired his aesthetic and logical works. Seeing her glowing eyes, I decided to make her dream come true, so I invited her to interview Mr. Bigxin together. After the interview, Passion kept saying that it was her pleasure to take part in the interview because his experience was extremely helpful.
I believe the episode is helpful to people who want to manage social media. Thank Mr. Bigxin for generously sharing his experience of managing social media and finding his way to turn defeat into inspirational stories!
Few days ago, I asked Mr. Bigxin for some tips of making slides. He not only told me his tips but shared a toolkit, which has everything, to me! He’s definitely a creator willing to share~
Still on the fence? Let’s go!

2 years today @sirhanwahab popped back into my life after the last time I saw him was way back when we were in secondary school. While accompanying a mutual friend to my place for my little Raya do, on the 13th of June 2019 he sent me a DM on @instagram and as fate would have it, here we are sitting on our sofa in our home here in Dubai looking at our beautiful wedding album by @glamorouscapture ??
The album was ready over a year ago but due to the pandemic we weren’t able to return home to Malaysia as initially planned but when I recently did get the chance earlier this year, this was one of the items I decided to bring back especially because I wanted to share the first time of unboxing it with Sirhan naturally.
Thank you @i.am.muz of @glamorouscapture for the magnificent pre-wedding photographs that were shot at #MemorialTunkuAbdulRahman and of course the fantastic pictures taken during the Khatam Quran as well as the Nikah ceremony.

今天是Lady Gaga《Born This Way》專輯的十週年🙌🏾
為了慶祝這件事,本來想唱完整張專輯,但怕沒有人有這樣的耐心,所以我從專輯中選6首歌弄成10分鐘的組曲,希望這樣可以讓大家聽完我辛辛苦苦錄完的一切😍
若要說影響我最深的專輯,絕對非《Born This Way》莫屬,它陪伴我度過了自我認同的過程、讓我學會對自己誠實、並自在地做自己。回頭看看自己,現在我已經比十年前的自己,更健康、更自信了😌
#BornThisWay10thAnniversary #MarytheNight #BornThisWay #Judas #Scheiße #YoüAndI #TheEdgeofGlory #肯尼開唱 #許凱勛 #KenniHsu
It's the 10-year anniversary of "Born This Way" album🙌🏾
To celebrate that, I was going to cover the whole album. However, I was worried that people wouldn’t have the patience, so I made a 10 mins medley with 6 songs of the album. Hope this could encourage everyone to listen to it thoroughly, which I put lots of effort into this one❤️
If I have to point out one album that influence me the most, it would be 100% "Born This Way". It helped me get through those self-identification moments, taught me to honest about myself and to live my truth. Compared to myself 10 years ago, I think I’m healthier and more confident now! Thank you, Lady Gaga!
