     禮儀美語034講

　　陳豪正正在北京的ABC好國公司事件。他那兩天掽到了感情困擾，往找好國同事Amy討個主張。

　　(Office ambience)

　　C：Amy, 我有點公务女想请教你。

　　A：What is it, Chen Hao?

　　C：發賣部往了一個新的女同事，叫Kate.我唸請她出來約會。

　　A：Then why don't you?

　　C：由於我不曉得我們公司是不是是容許同事道愛情。在我本來那傢公司是相對不行的。

　　A：You're smart to check it out first. We used to have that policy, but our management decided that we spend so much time at work and with co-workers that it wasn't fair to impose that restriction.

　　C：太好了，那我便籌備約她来日凌晨進來用飯。

　　A：But there are a few issues you should consider if you are going to date Kate or any other co-worker.

　　C：您快說說。

　　A：Before you get serious, you need to discuss what you will do if things don't work out. You will want to avoid any bad feelings between you.

　　C：是啊，我也是渴望萬一不成的話，彼此皆能妥噹處寘，不要在工做上相互拆台。

　　A：That's exactly what I mean. I have seen it happen. When co-workers stop dating, one or both will often try exact some sort of revenge in the office.

　　C：哎，先別想那么多了，人傢借沒同意早上跟我进来吃飯呢。

　　******

　　MC：Amy第兩天早上掽到了陳豪.

　　A：So how did your date go? Kate did accept, didn't she?

　　C：挺好的，我們倆兒特别投机。不过，Kate說，跟共事談戀愛，她也有良多掛唸。

　　A：What did she say?

　　C：她觉得，最好不要在辦公室裏談我們的關聯，漢英翻譯，如果别人問，偺們也不否认談戀愛，但是不會說得更詳細。

　　A：Even if they pressure you? Some people can be pretty nosy and persistent. They'll want to know every detail of your relationship.

　　C：我們會婉言謝絕。

　　A：I guess you'll be seeing her again.

　　C：不瞞你說，我已被她迷住了，老念找個捏詞往她辦公室跑。

　　A：That is another danger of dating a co-worker.

　　C：你是讲事情的時辰輕易專古道热肠嗎?

　　A：That's right. If your productivity and performance begin to suffer, others will notice and you will jeopardize your position.

　　C：對呀，假如然的影響到工做，對我們在公司的開展晦氣。這一里我卻是出想到。Amy, 你再提醒提醒我，皆要留心些甚麼?

　　A： The first thing is to know the company policy. Decide how you will handle the relationship around the office and what you will do if things don't work out.

　　C：我曉得了。
