  Business Casual Done Right

商务休闲装正确穿戴

陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作。他有个问题要请教美国同事Amy。

(Office ambience)

C: Hi, Amy. 你有一点儿时间吗?我有个问题想问你。

A: Sure, I need a little break.

C: 我听说最近从美国西岸调过来的几个同事在要求什么“business casual”, 什么是“business casual” 啊?

A: Business casual is the term given to dressing 1 down at work.

C: Dressing down?

A: Yes. If you usually wear a suit and tie to work, dressing down means wearing a sport jacket and tie. If you normally wear a sport jacket and tie, to dress down, you leave off either the jacket or the tie.

C: 我们不是周一到周五都应该穿西装打领带。为什么又要休闲呢?

A: It's an American phenomenon that started on the west coast of the US years ago. Some people believe that they are more productive when they are dressed in comfortable relaxed clothing.

C: 那你觉得穿着舒适休闲会提高工作效率吗?

A: Personally I do not feel as confident or professional when I dress down. I believe that I lose some of my credibility.

C: 我们的新老板会不会考虑放松我们的着装要求呢?

A: Well, I have heard a rumor 2 that he might, but only once a week—on Friday.

C: 哦,怪不得我听大家都在说casual Friday, 休闲星期五呢!

MC: 第二天,陈豪在饭厅里遇到了Amy.

A: Hi Chen Hao. Did you hear the news about Casual Friday? The boss has agreed to try it for three months to see how it works.

C: 这么说以后星期五我们愿意穿什么就穿什么喽?

A: Not at all. True business casual means dressing down just one notch 3 from business professional. You don't have to wear a suit and tie, but it doesn't mean that your old jeans and a T-shirt are acceptable.

C: 怎么还那么多讲究啊?

A: Yes, this is business casual. Think of it as a merger 4 of professional and casual clothing. Professional clothing is tailored, consists of suits and ties, dark to medium colors and fine fabrics 5.

C: 职业性装束要求穿西装、打领带。那休闲服装呢?

A: Casual clothing is loose, relaxed, and made of softer fabrics and includes things like jeans, shorts, T-shirts and tennis shoes.

C: Business casual就是介于二者之间喽?换句话说,我不用穿西装,但是也不能穿T-恤衫和球鞋上班了。

A: That's right. We need to combine the business credible 6 look with the comfortable creative look.

C: 看来我要出去买衣服了!
