Question 1

你好，商学院的学生。今天我应你们教授的要求来这里和你们谈谈在商业中找到自己的定位（特长）的重要性。

Answer 1

Hello, business students. I’m here today at your professor’s request to talk to you about the importance of finding your own niche in business.

Question 2

常言道，从事商业的人需要使他们的技能组合多样化，这样他们就可以在任何他们决定进入的领域最灵活多变（游刃有余）。

Answer 2

Conventional wisdom says that people in business need to diversify their skill sets so that they can be the most flexible in whatever field they decide to enter

Question 3

虽然这有一定的道理，但这仅仅是真相的一半。

那些过于多样化的人有可能成为一个万事通而不精通的人。

Answer 3

While there is some truth to this, that’s only half of the picture.

Those who diversify too much run the risk of being a jack of all trades and master of none.

Question 4

从潜在雇主的角度看，没有一套集中的技能也可能被视为优柔寡断（不够重要的，没有决定性的），你的申请可能因此而被搁置。

Answer 4

Not having a focused set of skills may also be seen as indecisive from the standpoint of a potential employer, and your application may fall by the wayside as a result.

Question 5

拥有一个特长将帮助你在人群中脱颖而出。

在商业领域，既要有任何公司都需要的一般技能，又要拥有使你成为组织中最合适的人选的专门技能，这是一种平衡的做法。

Answer 5

Having a niche will help you stand out in the crowd.

Question 6

在商业领域，既要有任何公司都需要的一般技能，又要拥有使你成为组织中最合适的人选的专门技能，这是一种平衡的做法。牢记这一点，你会走得更远（更成功）。

Answer 6

In business, it’s a balancing act between having the general skills that any company will want, and also possessing specialized skills that will make you the go-to person in your organization.
