哈囉大家好，歡迎來到CathyChinese, 我是Cathy.
今天要來和大家講講有關第一次見面時會用到的幾個中文句型。
第一次和陌生人見面時，除了名字之外，大部分會聊到的內容不外乎是工作和職業吧! 所以如果別人問你在哪裡工作的時候，
Hello everyone, welcome to CathyChinese; I am Cathy.
Today I want to talk to you about a few Chinese sentence patterns that will be used when meeting for the first time.
When you meet a stranger for the first time, besides the name, most of the things you will talk about are your work and occupation! So if someone asks you where you work,
You can say:
- 我(目前)在______工作/上班。
- I (currently) work at _company_.
Or you can say:
- 我(目前)從事________業。
- I work in __________ business.
業這個字在中文有很多意思，其中一個意思指的是社會上的各種工作職務。
Yè has many meanings in Chinese, one of which refers to various jobs in society.
當我們使用”業”這個字來描述別人的工作時，聽起來會更正式一點。
When we use Yè to describe someone else’s work, it sounds a bit more formal.
例如有人當農夫，我們就可以說，他從事農業；如果有人是賣東西的，是個商人，我們就說，他從事商業。
For example, if someone is a farmer, we can say he is engaged in agriculture;
if someone is a seller, we can say he is involved in the business.
那麼以下是幾種常見的行業:
Here are a few common industries:
補教業(Bǔ jiào yè): Supplementary Education
首先，如果一個人在補習班，補習班就是學生們放學後會去加強課業的地方，如果一個人在這個補習班當老師的話呢，我們會說他從事補教業。
First of all, if a person is in a cram school, the cram school is where students go to strengthen their studies after school. If a person is a teacher in this cram school, we will say he is engaged in supplementary education.
資訊業 (zīxùn yè): Information Technology
如果這個人是某種工程師的話，而且他的工作內容和電腦相關的，我們會說這個人從事資訊業。
If this person is an engineer, and his job content is related to computers, we will say that this person is in the information industry.
金融業(jīnróng yè): Finance
接下來呢，如果你的工作是和錢相關的，比如說這個人可能在銀行工作，或是在某種金融機構上班的話，
那麼我們會說這個人從事金融業。
Next, if your job is related to money, for example, this person may work in a bank or some financial institution, then we will say that this person is engaged in the financial industry.
餐飲業(cānyǐn yè): Food and Beverage
如果一個人的工作和食物有關，做食物給別人吃，例如他可能在早餐店、餐廳、咖啡廳工作的話，那我們會說這個人從事餐飲業。
If a person’s work is related to food, making food for others to eat, for example, he may work in a breakfast shop, restaurant, or coffee shop, and then we will say that this person is in the catering industry.
服務業(fúwù yè): Service Industry
再來的話，如果一個人的工作內容需要經常和他人接觸的話，我們會說這個人做的是服務業，例如在服飾店、百貨公司上班，常常要和客人接觸的行業，我們都稱之為服務業。
Next, if a person’s work requires frequent contact with others, we will say that this person is in the service industry. For example, working in a clothing store or department store, the industry that often has contact with customers is called service. Industry.
醫療業(yīliáo yè): Medical
最後一個，如果一個人的職業是醫生或是護理師，或者是在醫院工作，那麼我們就會說，這個人從事醫療業
Next, if a person’s work requires frequent contact with others, we will say that this person is in the service industry. For example, working in a clothing store or department store, the industry that often has contact with customers is called service. Industry.
如果你不想透漏太多的個人資訊的話，你也可以簡單回答一句:
If you don’t want to be precise about where you work, you can say
- 我是上班族。
- I’m an office worker.
如果你是學生的話，你可以說:
If you’re a student, you say:
- 我是學生。
- I am a student
如果你是從別的國家來台灣的學校短期念書的話，你可以說:
If you come to Taiwan from other countries to study for a short time, you can say:
- 我是交換學生。
- I am an exchange student.
如果你是從別的國家來台灣的大學或是研究所讀書的話，你可以說:
If you are studying at a university or research institute in Taiwan from another country, you can say:
- 我是學位生。
