Performance review最常犯的錯:努力了一整年,卻敗在幾個英文用字

又到了第四季,許多外商都要寫 self-review,或進行 performance review。這份報告不只是例行公事,更是讓主管看見價值、爭取升遷加薪的好機會。

但挑戰往往不在於「沒有貢獻」可寫,而是如何用英文表達得專業又自然。稍一疏忽,常常就掉進中式英文的陷阱。

 

Fanny是一家科技公司的專案經理。在self-review報告裡,她寫下:

“I am very confidence that I complete all my tasks very hardly. I always discuss about the project with my teammates. Sometimes I help my supervisor to growth.”

看起來像英文,但錯誤連連。這些錯誤,其實正是職場人士最常犯的幾個。

 

錯誤一:形容詞名詞搞混

我很有把握/很有信心

(X)I am very confidence…
(O)I am very confident…

Confidence 是名詞,「信心」;Confident 才是形容詞,「有信心的」。

 

錯誤二:副詞誤用

我很努力完成了所有的任務。

(X)I complete all my tasks very hardly.
(O)I worked very hard to complete my tasks. 

這句其實變成「我幾乎沒有完成任何任務」。因為 hardly 在英文裡是「幾乎不」的意思。

 

錯誤三:多餘的介系詞

我經常和團隊討論專案

(X)I always discuss about the project with my teammates.

(O)I always discuss the project with my teammates.
Discuss 已經包含「討論」的意思,不需要再加 about。

錯誤四:動詞用錯場合

(X)I help my supervisor to growth.
(O)I support my supervisor with reports and coordination.
(O)I help my team grow by improving efficiency.

首先,growth 是名詞,應該用動詞 grow。但就算改成 I help my supervisor to grow,在職場語境裡仍不自然。因為主管通常不會被表述為「成長」。

怎麼寫才好呢

把這些錯誤修正後,Fanny的自評會是這樣:

“I am very confident that I worked hard to complete all my tasks this year. I consistently discuss project issues with my teammates to ensure alignment. I support my supervisor by preparing reports, coordinating meetings, and helping the team grow by improving efficiency. I am proud of the contributions I made and the goals I achieved.”

同樣的內容,換成正確又專業的英文,主管讀起來感受完全不同。

 

在績效考核裡,英文不是裝飾,而是專業展現。避免直翻中文,用字精準、搭配正確,你的努力才能被看見。記得少用模糊的 help,多用 supportcontributeachievestreamline 這類職場常用動詞,讓自評不只是「交作業」,而是「展示影響力」。

為什麼要這樣改

I am very confidence that I can finish my tasks.

I am very confident that I can finish my tasks.

confidence = 名詞 / confident = 形容詞

I complete all my tasks very hardly.

I worked very hard to complete all my tasks.

hardly = 幾乎不;work hard 才是「努力」

I always discuss about the project with my teammates.

I always discuss the project with my teammates.

discuss 是及物動詞,不需再加 about

I help my supervisor to growth.

I support my supervisor with reporting and coordination.
或:I help my team grow by improving efficiency.

grow 用在「team/skills/knowledge」更自然;對主管用 support/assist 更符合真實場景

I am pride of my contribution.

I am proud of my contribution.

pride = 名詞 / proud = 形容詞

I can handle with difficult situations.

I can handle difficult situations.

handle 不需要加 with

I am responsible of project management.

I am responsible for project management.

正確搭配:responsible for

I am good in communication.

I am good at communication.

正確搭配:good at

I achieved many targets this year.

I achieved many goals / objectives this year.

target 偏向「攻擊目標」,review 常用 goals 或 objectives
