早安。很高兴能在这儿跟各位介绍自己：我是jennifer wong，来此应征海外业务代表。
我的背景和工作经验使我足以胜任这份业务代表的工作；我在台湾念大学，是主修行销，一九八五年，再从美国德州大学的商学院得到企管硕士的学位。过去五年来，我以这些专业知识及技巧担任神奇厨具用品公司的外销部副主任。

如果能进入贵公司工作，对我来说可以好好继续学习，也是个大好机会。我希望能成为action电器公司的一员。谢谢。
短语解说
tailor-made 最适合，最完美的
"tailor"是‘裁缝师’；裁缝师以手工制作的西装，总是最合身。因此这个词组是形容某人或是某物的条件好，对于某种情况来说，是最完美、最合适的。
with her background and education, she is tailor-made to run this company.
以她的背景和教育程度，她来经营这个公司是最适当了！
mba 企管硕士
这是"master of business administration"（企管硕士）的缩写。"master"是指‘硕士（学位）’；"administration"是‘行政管理、经营’的意思。
if you want an mba, it’s important to get accepted to a good school.
你若有心攻得企管硕士的学位，最好先申请到一所好学校。
forward-looking 高瞻远瞩的
这个口语用法源自动词词组"look forward",‘往前看、眼光向前’之意。所以"forward looking"这个形容词引申有‘高瞻远瞩的、考虑未来’的意思。
only the most forward-looking companies will adapt and profit in the 1990’s.
在九ｏ年代，只有把眼光放远的公司才能生存获利。
take-charge 负责的
这是由动词词组"take charge of"演变出来的形容词，意思就是指‘能控制事情，负起责任’的人或组织。
we’re looking for a take-charge company to distribute our new product in a competitive market.
我们在找一个肯负责的公司，将我们的产品在竞争激烈的市场中分销出去。
market share 市场占有率
特指某种产品，因有固定的消费者购买，故而控制了市场的一部份；"market share"即指在同类产品的市场中所占有的销售比例。"share"在此当名词用，有‘份儿；分担’的意思。
after all of our tv sets were found to be defective, our market share dropped by 75%.
我们的电视机被发现有瑕疵之后，市场占有率下跌了百分之七十五。
