【辦公室潛規則】避免成為「奇葩」同事!初來報到學用英文摸清公司文化
Part 2:「談辦公室文化」模擬情景
第一天上班的Candy與同事Vivian和Jessica一起到外面吃午餐,並順便詢問公司的辦公室文化:
(C: Candy V: Vivian J: Jessica)
C: So, is there anything I should know about the company culture? Any special do's or don'ts?
那麼,關於公司文化有甚麼是我該知道的嗎?有甚麼特別該做或不該做的嗎?
V: I can offer one piece of advice for avoiding dirty looks: don't monopolize霸佔 the hot water in the morning.
我可以提供避免被提臭臉的忠告:別在早上霸佔熱水壺。
J: Some people load up these huge thermoses保溫瓶, leaving a sad trickle滴 of hot water for the rest of us.
有些人會用超大保溫瓶裝熱水,讓剩下的我們只有幾滴熱水。
C: Oh no! I bet people get cranky不耐煩 without their morning dose of caffeine咖啡因. I can sympathize!
不會吧!我打賭有人早上若沒來點咖啡因會很不耐煩的。我理解!
V: It's just thinking about other people and cleaning up after yourself. You know, normal grown-up 成年人stuff.
這只是替別人著想和為自己善後。你曉得的,就正常成年人該做的事。
J: Also, some people get really testy 煩躁的;易怒的 if you use the photocopier at lunch when they're trying to nap.
還有,午餐時間有些人會打算小睡一下的,如果你在這個時候使用影印機,他們會很煩躁。
C: Oh, this is a napping office? I love putting my head down for a mid-day snooze小睡.
辦公室的人會午睡啊?太棒了!我超愛在中午時趴下來小睡一會。
