单选题 John has excellent interpersonal skills and is sociable, patient and a good listener. As a friend, I particularly appreciate his loyalty and sense of humor. I also admire his calmness when facing difficult situations. Therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending him for the position of Training Manager for your company and wish him every success in his application.

【正确答案】约翰有良好的人际沟通能力，喜欢交际，富有耐心，善于倾听，作为他的朋友，我尤其欣赏他的忠实和幽默感。另外，我还很钦佩他面临困境时的镇定。因此，我豪不犹豫地推荐他担任公司培训经理一职，祝愿他求职成功。

【答案解析】[解析] 本文是一则推荐信，首先推荐者列举了数项被推荐者的良好素质，然后声明自己的推荐意愿。需要注意的是里面涉及到众多描述性格的词汇，翻译时要注意根据汉语的习惯，尽量将这些词汇译得工整，如sociable，patient and a good listener就可分别译为“喜欢交际，富有耐心，善于倾听”。另外名词loyalty和sense of humor分别意为“忠实”和“幽默感”，his calmness when facing difficult situations意为“他面临困境时的镇定”。末句中，I have no hesitation in doing sth.意为“毫不犹豫地做某事”。
