qǐng xiān kàn gǎngwèizhízé.

Yes. In this sentence, 请 is being used like please to make the instruction polite:

• 请先看岗位职责。 = Please first look at/read the job responsibilities.

In Mandarin, 请 + verb is a very common polite pattern:

• 请看。 = Please look.
• 请坐。 = Please sit.
• 请等一下。 = Please wait a moment.

You may also learn that 请 can mean to invite or to request, but here it is simply a polite marker before the action.

先 is an adverb meaning first or before doing something else. In Mandarin, adverbs usually go before the verb, so:

• 先看 = look first / read first

That is why the order is:

• 请 + 先 + 看 + 岗位职责

A very natural way to think of it is:

• Please first read the job responsibilities.

You can compare:

• 先吃饭，再工作。 = Eat first, then work.
• 请先填写表格。 = Please fill out the form first.

Mandarin often leaves out subjects when they are obvious from context. In English, you usually need to say you, but in Chinese it is very common to omit it.

So this sentence could be understood as:

• 请你先看岗位职责。

But the 你 is omitted because it is unnecessary. The listener already knows they are the person being addressed.

This kind of omission is extremely common in instructions, notices, and spoken Chinese.

Yes, 看 can mean several related things, including:

• look
• watch
• read

The exact meaning depends on the object.

Here, the object is 岗位职责, which is written information, so 看 is best understood as read or look over.

Examples:

• 看书 = read a book
• 看电视 = watch TV
• 看这个 = look at this

So in this sentence, 看岗位职责 means read/look over the job responsibilities.

岗位职责 is a workplace term. It is made up of two parts:

• 岗位 = post, position, job role
• 职责 = duties, responsibilities

Together, 岗位职责 means:

• job responsibilities
• duties of the position
• role responsibilities

This is a common phrase in job ads, HR documents, and internal company materials.

Grammatically, it is often treated as a fixed workplace phrase made from two nouns:

• 岗位
• 职责

Together they function as one unit meaning job responsibilities.

In practical learning terms, it is best to memorize 岗位职责 as a set phrase, because it appears very often in professional contexts.

Yes, absolutely. 看看 is a reduplicated form of 看, and it often makes the action sound:

• lighter
• softer
• more casual
• less forceful

So:

• 请先看岗位职责。 = Please first read the job responsibilities.
• 请先看看岗位职责。 = Please first take a look at the job responsibilities.

The version with 看看 can sound a bit more conversational and gentle. The version with just 看 is also completely natural, especially in written instructions or professional settings.

It is fairly neutral and polite. It works especially well in practical or professional situations, such as:

• a job application page
• a recruitment notice
• HR communication
• an onboarding instruction

Because it begins with 请, it is polite. Because it is short and direct, it also feels efficient.

If you wanted to make it more formal or respectful, you might say:

• 请您先看一下岗位职责。

That adds:

• 您 for politeness
• 一下 to soften the action

A simple breakdown is:

• 请 = please
• 先 = first
• 看 = look at / read
• 岗位职责 = job responsibilities

So the pattern is:

• polite marker + adverb + verb + object

This is a very common Chinese sentence pattern.

Another example with the same structure:

• 请先填写申请表。
  • 请 = please
  • 先 = first
  • 填写 = fill in
  • 申请表 = application form

The pinyin is:

• qǐng xiān kàn gǎngwèi zhízé

Tone by tone:

• 请 qǐng — 3rd tone
• 先 xiān — 1st tone
• 看 kàn — 4th tone
• 岗 gǎng — 3rd tone
• 位 wèi — 4th tone
• 职 zhí — 2nd tone
• 责 zé — 2nd tone

A few pronunciation notes:

• qǐng starts with a q sound, like a very light ch with the tongue forward.
• xiān starts with x, which is not like English x. It is a soft sound made with the tongue close to the front of the mouth.
• zhí starts with zh, a retroflex sound, with the tongue curled slightly back.

There are no especially tricky tone changes in this sentence, so you can pronounce each word with its normal tone.

Not exactly. A very literal order would be:

• Please first look job responsibilities.

But natural English would usually be:

• Please read the job responsibilities first.
• Please review the job responsibilities first.
• Please first look over the job responsibilities.

This is a good example of how Chinese and English use slightly different wording even when the meaning is straightforward.
