面试英语翻译：面试时五类问题不可问If you’re looking for a new job, you know you’re going to have to answer some tough questions in the interview process. But did you know there are some questions that are illegal for employers to ask you?For example, it’s illegal to ask any questions relatedto protected classes, says Charles A. Krugel, an HR attorney. “Protected classes typically include race, gender, nationality, religion, military status and age (40 and up). Usually, such questions are intended to identify those class members. More often than not, it's ‘loaded’ questions that are asked, or those where it's fairly obvious that the asker has a hidden agenda and the question has little to do withthe job's essential duties.”Some exampl es of these questions include,”I notice that you live in Brookfield, there's some nice country clubs and retirement communities there -- are you a member of any of them?” and “If you need to commute to work, how would you do that?” The first question can r elate to socioeconomic status, gender, race, religion and age, Krugel says., while the second may be looking for information on socioeconomic status and race.Here are five common questions that interviewers shouldn’t be asking, under the law.Who will take care of your children while you’re at work?Even if you’ve shared information about having children, there’s no need for a prospective employer to ask who’staking care of them, says Tom Spiggle of the Spiggle Law Firm. The law prohibits making employment decisions based on gender stereotypes, he explains. “For instance, that women or men with children are less committed to work than those without.”“Note, however, that it would not be illegal to deny ajob opportunity to a candidate who volunteer ed, ‘I haveyoung children and can't work past 4：30,’ when the job requires evening work,” Spiggle says. “Such a decisionwould be based on work restrictions offered by the candidate, not because of improper stereotype.”How did you get that scar/mark/other physical abnormality?“The ADA prohibits not only discrimination against those with an actual disability, but against those who are‘regarded as disabled,’” says Kelly Kolb, labor and employment attorney atFowler White Boggs. “Questions aboutan employee's physical characteristics (to the extent they reflect a perception of disability) are prohibited, just asare questions about a person's actual disability.”Prospective employers may, however, ask if you’re ableto perform essential functions of the job, with or without accommodation, Kolb says.How often are you deployed for your Army Reserve training exercises?Kolb says employers cannot make employment decisions onthe basis of a service member's membership or active duty service in the milit ary. “Essentially, the employer cannot ask questions about the effect of the employee's military service on his ability to work for the employer.”When are you planning on having children?Employers can’t make judgments about a person’s dedication to their work by whether they have kids or will have them in the future. “If the employer wants to find out how committed the candidate will be to the job offered, the interviewer should ask questions such as, ‘What hours can you work?’ or ‘Do you have commitm ents aside from work that will interfere with specific job requirements such as traveling?’” says Davida S. Perry of Schwartz & Perry.Even an innocuous question such as “when is your baby due?” to an obviously pregnant applicant can cause problems, says Lisa Schmid, an attorney at Nilan Johnson Lewis. “It is not illegal under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, but it presents a risk for employers because it obviously seeks information about an applicant’s pregnancy, and discrimination on the basis of preg nancy is illegal.” Also, there may be state laws that explicitly prohibit asking about a pregnancy.Have you ever been arrested?It’s legal to ask about whether candidates have been convicted of a crime, but not if they’ve been arrested, says Shari Shore of Wolf and Shore Law. Cases may have been dismissed without a conviction, or the original charges may have been lowered to lesser charges.如果你正在找工作，那你一定很清楚，面试过程中，雇主会问出一些刁钻的问题，但是你知道吗，有些问题即使是雇主也是没有资格来问你的。

人力资源律师查尔斯·A·库鲁格表示，像应聘者的一些个人信息是受到保护的，雇主不得开口询问。

“具体有以下几点：关于种族，性别，国籍，宗教，军衔和年龄(如应聘者年龄达四十及以上)的信息。

通常来说，雇主提这些问题的目的是想给应聘者贴上标签。

而雇主通过提问刺探应聘者隐私往往会给后者带来很大压力，很明显，他们是有意为之，而这些问题又基本和未来的工作无关。
