2.Cultural Baptism文化洗礼

美国人的工作和生活态度——快乐!

在美国,给人印象最深的是美国人轻松而快乐的生活态度。在图书馆借书时,图书管理员笑着说:“Enjoy your books(享受你的书)!”在餐馆用餐,服务生说:“Enjoy your lunch(享受你的午餐)!”到博物馆参观,老师说:“Have a fun!(祝你有个好心情)!”在美国到处看到志愿者。尤其是在图书馆,里面只有馆长一个

人拿工资,其他工作人员都是志愿者。读者都是志愿者。如果你想学英文,还是志愿者为你每周上两次4小时的课,分文不取,直到你自己放弃。在医院、在学校、在社会的个个角落,到处可见志愿者的踪迹。美国人做志愿者是从奉献和感受快乐的角度出发。如要你对志愿者老师表示感谢的时候,他总是说:“I enjoy it very much(我非常享受我做的事)。”他会告诉你,如果不快乐,他是不会继续教你的。

美国有许多非盈利的机构。比如WQED电视台,他们没有广告,节目是很经典的,靠的就是志愿者、政府和社会各界机构的帮助,似乎在残酷的资本主义商业竞争下也有脉脉温情的一面。

初涉职场

The First for Work上班第一天

1.Daily Dialogue日常会话

Check-in

F:Welcome aboard!

C:Thank you,I'm delighted to be working here,Mr.Buchwald.

F:Call me Buck,will you?My name is Reginald Buchwald,but everybody calls me Buck.It's easier.

C:I'd prefer to call you Mr.Buchwald.Isn't it rather disrespectful to make a nickname out of one's family name?

F:Well,President Eisenhower was known as Ike.Everybody in this company all the way up and down the line is called by his or her first name.It's been our tradition ever since the company was small.And don't worry about the'disrespectful'business.OK?

C:I'll try.

F:Good.But when there are outsiders,like business people from other companies,It might be good to address your higher-ups as Mr.,Ms.or whatever is appropriate.To those outside the company,It may be interpreted as a sign of flippancy or lax discipline.Get it?

C:Yes,sir.

F:(Laughing)And don't "sir"me either.Now I'll show you your private office.

报到

F:欢迎你来本公司工作!

C:谢谢。我很高兴能来这里上班,布奇华先生。

F:叫我布客就可以了。我的全名是雷奇纳客·布奇华,但是大家都叫我布客。这样比较方便。

C:我更愿意称呼您布奇华先生。用别人的姓做昵称,不是很不礼貌吗?

F:嗯,艾森豪威尔总统也被呢称为艾克。我们公司的上上下下都是直呼每个人的姓。在我们公司规模很小的时候这就已经形成传统。不要担心不礼貌的事了,好吗?

C:我会试试看。

F:好。不过。如果有外人在时,比如其他公司的人,最好能称呼你的上司为先生、女士或任何适当的称谓。对外人而言,我们的习惯可能会是轻率和纪律松懈的表现。明白吗?

C:是的,先生。

F:(笑着说)也不要叫我先生。现在,我带你去看你的私人办公室。
