This is a very important and very popular question which could be phrased in many different ways. As well as pre-preparing your answer to, “Are you a team player”, you should also draft answers to all the alternative questions I’ve listed above. There will be common ground between your answers but each will have a slightly different slant to it.

這是一個非常重要的問題，經常會被問到，提問的方式也有很多種。你不僅要事先想好“你善于團隊合作嗎”這個問題的答案，上面列出的其他相關問題也要事先準備。這些問題的答案具有共同點，但是每一個都要有不同的側重點。

You could answer the question in the context of your current job but you’d be better off approaching it from the angle of the job for which you are applying. They’re asking you in what ways you are a team player but you need to be asking yourself in what ways will they want you to be a team player. Are they looking for a leader? Are they looking for someone who brings out the best in others? Are they looking for the person who generates the ideas or the person who is a dab hand at putting new ideas into practice?

你可以從現在的工作切入來回答這個問題，但是最好從你申請的工作這個角度入手。他們也許問的是你如何說明自己善于團隊合作，但是你要問自己的是他們希望你成為怎樣的團隊合作者。他們找的是領導嗎？或者他們找的是能在團隊中帶動別人的人？他們是要找出點子的人，還是要找能將想法付諸實現的能手？

Establish in your own mind what sort of a team player they want you to be and then deliver an answer which caters to that image.

在心中想好他們要找的是那種團隊合作者，再據此做出相應回答。

Example:

例子：

I certainly very much enjoy working with others; I’m outgoing, I enjoy the team spirit and I’m understanding of the needs of others. I’m good at helping the team to see the bigger picture – to see the wood from the trees – helping them to focus on what really matters rather than getting bogged down in irrelevant detail. I’m also good at helping the team to spot flaws in our approach – and potential problems and pitfalls. I believe I have strong communication skills and, while I don’t yet have experience in a leadership role, I do have a talent for liaising between different team members and resolving any disputes which may arise. Conflict between different team members is rarely very productive and is normally best avoided.

我當然非常享受和別人合作的過程。我性格外向，欣賞團隊精神，我也了解他人想要什么。我擅長幫助整個團隊掌握大局——從樹木中看到森林——幫助他們專注于最重要的事而不是糾結于不相關的小細節。我還很擅長幫助團隊找到工作中的不足之處，發現潛在的問題，避免陷阱。我的溝通能力很強，雖然我沒有在團隊中擔當過領導角色，但是我善于聯絡不同的團隊成員，解決糾紛，因此團隊成員發生的沖突很少會惡化并且能很好地解決。
