English vocabulary for IT professionals to know
English vocabulary for IT professionals to know
Sometimes if you apply for a company with a foreign background
or many people in this company have overseas or foreign work backgrounds,
you may still use some vocabulary in daily work communication.
For example, let’s take a look at the speech of a supervisor at a meeting:
Xiao Wang, please "Push" this matter as soon as possible, and follow the "case" that we set in the "Plan" in the previous period.
Every "Milestone" must When "Share" comes out, the work you are responsible for must be fully "Open".
Tomorrow, it's best to have a "Conference" with the customer to have a "Face to face" exchange.
Xiao Li, your "Project" has some "Delay" recently, so many "Resources" have been allocated to you,
and so many "Part time" have been allocated to you, as a "PM"
you should know the current " Cost" I am afraid that "Cover" will not be able to live with this project, you have to complete it as soon as possible.
Recently, the "Marketing" side has stricter requirements for our "Team", and
the performance of "Sales" has also increased. As the technical department, we must resolutely support the "Product".
Please note that this is not a joke, but the most common departmental meeting that occurs every day in some companies.
If you do not understand these vocabulary, I am afraid that after this meeting, you will not know what the leader said.
Translation:
Xiao Wang, please "promote" this matter as soon as possible, and "track" this "event" according to the "plan" we set in the early stage.
Every "milestone" must be "shared". You are responsible for this. Block work should be fully "open to everyone".
Tomorrow, it is best to have a "discussion" with customers to have a "face-to-face" communication.
Xiao Li, your "project" has been "delayed" recently. So many "resources" have been allocated to you,
and so many "temporary employees" have been allocated to you. As a "project manager" you should know the current This "cost" may not be able to "cover"
this project, you have to complete it as soon as possible.
Recently, the "marketing department" has stricter requirements on our "team", and
the performance of the "sales staff" has also increased. As the technical department, we must resolutely do a good job in the backing of "product development".
Interesting, I often see leaders who like to speak Chinese and English in the company.
Either the company itself is a foreign company, or the leader used to work in a foreign company,
or he thinks it’s cool to talk like this, but no matter what the reason is that it is mixed in Chinese and English,
we, as programmers, can’t be in a meeting." Big eyes and small eyes" now!
Therefore, we should be as familiar with these English vocabulary as possible, in case of emergency. Let's summarize below,
what are the meanings of some words often used in the company, and when they can be used.
