公司里的人為什么不能友好些？

Why Can’t People in the Corporate World be Friendly?

The way friends greet each other is very different from the way professional people greet each other in formal situations. An enthusiastic, “Hi, Jack!” works among friends, but if a business person used this way to greet a colleague in a meeting, it would be extremely awkward! “Hi!” expresses too much enthusiasm and intimacy. It would be uncomfortable to bring intimacy into the boardroom. “Hello, it’s nice to meet you,” is a more standard greeting- with a strong and quick handshake too, of course. For these reasons, business people have the image of being very stiff and robotic. They wear black, expressionless suits and carry nondescript briefcases. There’s not much room for originality in the corporate world!

中文翻譯

朋友之間打招呼的方式和專業人士在正式場合打招呼的方式是完全不同的。一句熱情的“Hi,Jack！”用于朋友沒有問題，但如果一位商務人士在會議上也用這種方式稱呼他的同事，那會令人十分尷尬的。“Hi！”包含了太多的熱情和親密。而把親密的招呼帶到會議室會另人感到不舒服的。“Hello, it’s nice to meet you.”這樣的問候語就比較正式了，當然你也可以在這么打招呼的時候，和對方來一個有力而短暫的握手。由此，商務人士給人的印象總是非常呆板的和機械的，他們總是穿著黑色的、毫無生氣的西裝，拎著難以區分的公文包。在公司的世界里，可沒有多少創意的空間噢！
