雅思口语Part 3是很多同学直接“摆烂”的部分。很多时候,大家可能会发现,在Part3里面,不一定是英语能力问题,而是本身的知识储备或思想广度与深度不够。
在今天的文章里我们一起来看看与family business相关的语料素材。在当季的雅思口语Part 3中,较多是会问及家族企业/家庭生意的类型、优缺点。
在我们国家,比较普遍的家族生意是餐饮生意。上世纪8、90年代,在我国出现下岗潮后,许多下岗工人都选择了自主经营餐饮生意,比如经营一家餐馆或是夜市上的小吃摊。如今,一些不想成为打工人的群体也加入了这个行业,所以我们不难看到许多餐馆,老板是夫妻,服务员是家里的其他亲戚(如侄子、侄女或兄弟姐妹,甚至是一些长辈)。尤其是寒暑假时,家里的小孩们也会在自家的餐馆或小吃摊帮忙或兼职打工。另外常见的家庭生意还有花店、杂货店、农家乐、电商,缘由的话也大同小异。
相关表达:
catering business/service 餐饮生意/餐饮服务
family restaurant 家庭餐厅/餐馆
food stall 小吃摊
flower shop 花店
grocery (store) 杂货店
recreational farm 休闲农场
e-commerce 电商
online retailer 网上零售商
a mom-and-pop store 夫妻店
help out 帮忙
work temporarily 临时工作
work part-time 兼职
be self-employed
massive/large-scale layoffs 大规模裁员
laid-off worker 下岗员工
make a living by … 通过……谋生
参考例句:
The family restaurant is a common type of family business in China. Typically, one or two family members own this type of restaurant, where other family members work as receptionists, waiters, waitresses, or cleaning staff.
During the 1990s, millions of people who had previously worked for state-owned enterprises were laid off. Since then, many people have chosen to make a living by running a family restaurant or a food stall at night markets.

说到家族企业或家庭生意的优点,大家可能会较多提及轻松的人际关系(毕竟与你工作的人基本上都是自家人,相互认识了很多年,对彼此的脾性会比较了解)、。因此整个的工作氛围其实也会相对轻松、舒适一些。
相关表达:
interpersonal relationship 人际关系
character flaw 性格缺点
temperament 气质,禀性
temper 脾气,性情
be caught off guard 措手不及
ties of blood/ties of kinship 血亲关系/亲属关系
intimacy 亲近(n.)
count on 依赖,信任
genuinely 真正地,真心地
a more relaxing workplace 更轻松的工作环境
superior 上级
subordinate 下属
slack off 偷懒,懈怠
get the sack 被开除
a salary cut 降工资(n.)
dock one’s pay 扣某人的工资
参考例句:
You’ve already spent plenty of time with them, so you know well their character flaws. In this way, it saves you a lot of time getting used to their way of handling things, temperament and so on.
There’s a sense of deep intimacy between you and the people working around you because they’re not just your partners, co-workers, superiors or subordinates. They’re family members who genuinely care and love you and whom you can count on.
但家族企业或家庭生意的缺陷也是很明显的。比如正因“员工”“老板”之间有着血亲关系,一些人可能会利用这点在工作中“摸鱼”(因为他知道他不会因此被开除或扣工资)。再比如缺乏明确的管理结构或体系(绩效考核、日常考勤、奖惩等等)、裙带关系(不是以实力资历论等级,最终导致企业或生意日益衰退)、公私生活不清、家庭成员反目成仇(大家可以联想一下电视剧里那种为了继承家族企业亲兄弟姐妹之间相关斗争、耍手段的桥段)。
相关表达:
a lack of structure 缺乏结构
nepotism 裙带关系
climb the corporate ladder 在公司步步高升
a blurred boundary between family life and work life 家庭生活与工作生活的界线模糊
be committed to 致力于,献身于
conflict between family members 家庭成员间冲突
cause friction with family members 导致与家庭成员的摩擦
turn on sb. 背叛某人,陷害某人
a formal system of performance appraisal 正式的绩效考核体系
daily attendance 日常出勤
reward and punishment 奖惩
less qualified 不那么有资格的
not capable enough to assume/bear important/weighty responsibilities 能力不足以承担重要/有份量的责任
yield massive profits 产生巨额利润
inherit the business 继承生意
successor 继承人
play dirty/nasty tricks 使用肮脏的手段
wreck havoc on 严重破坏
参考例句:
Working for a family business reduces your chances of climbing the corporate ladder. Most senior management positions are filled by family members, even if they are less qualified or incapable of assuming such weighty responsibilities.
When a family business becomes large and yields massive profits, family members, especially younger ones, are likely to turn on each other and play dirty tricks in order to inherit the business. This will undoubtedly wreak havoc on their ties of blood.
Conflicting viewpoints can cause friction with other family members, and in fact, this happens a lot. In the beginning, everyone in the family is committed to the business, but as the business grows, members begin to have mixed ideas about how it should further develop. When this happens, the one whose idea is not taken or rejected is inclined to leave the business, and in the worst-case scenario, the entire family.
