   纽约时报发文:Don’t Call Me Dude, Boss or Bro. It’s Comrade to You(By DIDI KIRSTEN TATLOW),据说对于你正在与之打交道的中国官员,即使你心里有点把他当成哥们、兄弟,或者老板——也不要用这些词来称呼他。根据官方的说法,这些称呼受到了官僚主义、宗派主义、“江湖习气”等不良风气的影响。


  其实,即使像“哥们”这样的俚语式称呼也是有等级的。以下是一个简短的词汇表,从现在开始你就不能用它们来称呼官员了:(注意,其中很多称呼不适用于女性,但是那些通知里没有提到对女性的称呼。)What to call him — or her — instead?
  那么怎么称呼他——或者她呢?
  Dude (哥们, gemen or gemer, literally 1 “older brother”). Applied 2 to someone who is your inferior in rank.
  “哥们”,适用于等级比你低的人。
   Brother or bro (兄弟, xiongdi, “older younger brother”). Also your inferior.
  “兄弟”,也适用于等级比你低的人。
  Boss (老板, laoban, “old board,” as in chairman of the board.) Applied to your superior.
  “老板”,适用于等级比你高的人。
   Group leader — also the boss of a criminal gang (老大, laoda, “old big”). Also your superior.
  “老大”——犯罪团伙的老板,也适用于等级比你高的人。
  Colleague (同事, tongshi, “same affairs”). Unisex and egalitarian, this theoretically works for everyone.
  “同事”。男女皆宜,具有平等主义意味,理论上适用于每一个人。
   Comrade (同志, tongzhi, “same ideal”). Also unisex and more radically 3 egalitarian, in decades past this was a near-universal form of address.
  “同志”,也是男女皆宜,不过平等主义意味更强,在过去几十年里,这几乎是对他人的统称。
