新加坡有85%的人会讲华语,用简单的英语可以与另外10%的人交流,毕竟这是修车吗,不是写论文。另外5%的人交 ...
Don't provide wrong information to the threadstarter if you want to help him.
Can you explain how are you going to execute your duty when you cannot even understand your job card? Can you explain how are you going to communicate to your suppliers and logistics if you don't even know how to properly address the parts you need. Can you explain how are you going to follow up with the jobs returning based on warranty?
First of all, try and decipher the following commonly used job card jargons below. Don't try and use an online translator because you will not have the time on the job.
Radiator Fan N/W RPL fan belt ZYL1 misfire; troubleshoot OSF tyre bald 40K svc Servotronic servo-throttle converter malfunctioning Engine gasket leaking close to the crankcase track control arm bushing loose Sway bar link loose ARB link loose RPL ATF & Filter; transmission
Next, try and tell me what are the items normally communicated between workshops and logistics.
Torsion Bar; Tag Axle Steering column Recirculating ball steering gear system rack and pinion power steering system Engine block Inlet Camshaft Outlet Camshaft DOHC Engine Rocker cover
SAE10W/50 Exxonmobil GL5 Dot4
I have to refrain from employing Chinese mechanics when my Singaporean mechanics resigned or retired. Although there are exceptions, the Chinese mechanics I know always have a problem understand complicated stuffs. I know of workshops that hire Chinese mechanics having to hire another translator to communicate the information to the Chinese mechanics. Malaysian mechanics or Philippinos always fill the spot because of the language barrier. Also, after being in the trade for a decade, I have never seen a Chinese mechanic bearing the same technical efficiency as a Singaporean mechanic. Even a Thai mechanic is more technically efficient than all the chinese mechanics I have seen. I certainly look forward to finding one Chinese mechanic who can be otherwise. Be realistic, don't be overly optimistic and take for granted that you think since people understands Mandarin, so it naturally means that technical terms will also be communicated in Mandarin effectively.
Think global. China is not the world.
