   Ann. 陈豪刚从大学毕业就在北京的一家美国公司找到了一份工作。今天他收到一张通知,可是里面有一个词他不懂,他只知道让他去参加一个什么训练班。所以他就去请教公司里的美籍华人Mary 。


  (Office ambience)
  C:Excuse me, Mary, 请问通知上这个词是什么意思呀?E-t-i-q-u-e-t-t-e。
  M:Oh, etiquette 1, 原来是法文,意思是礼节。
  C: 噢,原来是要我去参加礼节训练班。 Mary,这词是怎么发音的?
  M:E-ti-ket。Q-u是发k的音,而不是发q的音,e-ti-ket。
  C:我们来公司工作,又不是来社交,为什么要讲礼节呀?
  M:Etiquette is very important to business。一个公司的雇员对客户是不是很客气,有礼貌,这对经营有很大关系。
  C:具体地说,这儿说的etiquette指些什么呢?
  M:Etiquette is a set of rules that allow us to interact with others in a civilized 2 manner。
  C:以文明的方式对待别人的一些原则。
  M:具体地说就是treating other people with courtesy and respect and making them feel comfortable with you.
  C:嗯,(若有所思地) 对人要有礼貌,要尊敬别人,还要让人觉得和你在一起很自如。
  这没问题,I'm always polite and courteous 3 to others。
  M:但是,训练班讲的是西方礼节 - western etiquette,和中国的礼节还不完全一样,因为两国有文化差异。
  C:这礼节还有文化差异?我得去训练班听听再说。
  ******
  C:嗨, Mary,我的训练班结束了,你那天说的文化差异一点也没错。
  M:听起来训练班好像让你开窍啦?
  C是啊。我那天跟会计室的那金发女郎聊天,聊得很愉快。 结果我问她多大年纪了,她一下子就变得很不高兴,支支吾吾没有回答就走了。
  M:Asking someone's age is offensive to an American.
  C:参加了训练班才知道不能问美国人年龄的。
  M:你办公室里的小王今天早上突然问年薪有多少。美国人认为打听这种私人的事是不礼貌的。我想对有些中国人来说也是不礼貌的。
  C:没错。
  M:既然你训练班已经结束,我来考考你: Tell me what is etiquette?
  C:我来试试。 Etiquette is a set of rules that allow us to interact with others in a civilized manner。
  M:And treating other people with courtesy and respect and making them feel comfortable with you.
  C: Mary,以后我有问题还会来请教你哟!
  M:No problem。
