相关背景知识

在英语国家，工作单位对各部门的职责分工非常明确。员工各司其职，互不越位。如果在工作中员工的行为超越了自己的工作职责范围而受到人身伤害，那怕是在为公司做好事，公司也可以不负责任的。在这一听力练习中的员工因为站到桌子上去修电灯而摔下来受了伤，但按照公司劳动守则规定，修电灯并不是他的职责，他因此受了伤，公司本来是可以不管的。

英语中用来表司职责，义务的单词和词组主要有

1． To be under (an) obligation "负有......的义务，有义务做......"，比如：we are under no obligation to give him what he wants. 我们没有他要什么就给什么的义务。

2． To be obliged to do sth "必须（做某事）"，比如：Parents are obliged to send their children to school. 家长必须让他们的子女去上学。

3． Have to do sth "不得不......"，表示有外部客观因素导致的职责和义务，比如：the train leaves at six o'clock, so I have to get up early tomorrow. 火车明天六点开，所以明天我只好早起。

4． Must"应该，必须"，表示说话人主观上认为有义务这样做。比如：I must clean my teeth everyday. 我应该每天刷牙。

5． To be required to do sth." 被要求做......，必须做......"，比如：All passengers are required to show their tickets. 所有乘客都必须出示车票。
