二管轮英文面试问题及参考答案
考官对二管轮的面试主要集中在服从意识、对分管的机器和设备的维护保养方面的知识、对一些常见机械故障的判断能力、对一些常见机械的工作原理的认识、对《国际安全管理规则》(ISM CODE)和《公司安全管理手册》(SMS)的认识情况等等。经验表明，轮机员相对于船上驾驶员而言，英语基础稍显薄弱，很多轮机员的普遍问题是无法用较准确的英文术语和句子说出所负责的机器的工作原理、技术故障、日常保养的方面的问题。因此，建议平时工作时带上一本好的英汉轮机方面的词典，多读一下所负责机器的英文说明书以及船东的英文公司安全管理手册，多看船上安全和管理方面的安全录像。过不了多久，你的专业英文会有意想不到的进步。
