禮節美語：Participating in Company Social Events （英語聽力）ZT



陳豪在北京的ABC美國公司工作。他午間休息遇到了美國同事Amy。

(Office ambience)

C：Amy, 你看見副總裁布朗先生有關公司野餐的電子郵件了嗎？

A：Yes, I read it this morning. It sounds like fun. I think the committee is planning a full day of activities.

C：沒錯，要整整一天，而且還是個星期六。

A：You sound as if you have a problem with all this.

C：我是有點兒不高興。我這是第一次聽說公司還要開野餐會。

A：It's become a tradition, and it is always held on the same weekend each year. We have a great time.

C：可我一點兒興趣也沒有，尤其是要浪費一天周末時間。我打算告訴布朗，說我那天正好有事。

A：Chen Hao, That is not a good idea. Everybody is expected to be there. It's really not an option unless you have a legitimate reason for your absence.

C：什麽？非去不可？可我覺得，周末是自己的時間。公司沒有權利要求我用自己的業餘時間去參加工作上的活動。

A：You need to understand how these events are part of your job. Let's take a minute and sit over there in the park to discuss this.

C：我倒是想聽聽，為什麽公司野餐非去不可！

******

Amy和陳豪在公園的椅子上坐下。

A：Let me see if I can explain this to you. If you want to be a successful member of the team, you have to do more than just show up for work every day and do your job.

C：這太可笑了。參加社交活動跟做好本職工作又有什麽關係呢？

A：First of all, they are a way to build relationships with our colleagues and co-workers. You get to see another side of people when you do things together outside of work. You establish friendships on another level.

C：加深對同事的了解？跟他們做朋友？可我為什麽要跟他們做朋友呢？

A：Having good relationships with co-workers can make daily work life more pleasant and make shared assignments go more smoothly.

C：好吧，我去就是了，可為什麽還要主動承擔組織籌備的工作呢？

A：By serving on a committee and helping out with the event, you have the opportunity to reveal leadership skills and to express a spirit of cooperation.

C：我注意到，野餐會上還有不少家庭活動。

A：That's right. There are events for adults and children. Everyone brings their family so it is all quite lively.

C：我們有必要去認識同事的家人嗎？

A：Of course you do. Displaying an interest in their family says that you value more than just your workplace relationship with your co-workers.

C：那好吧，我回去就報名參加野餐組織委員會。
