礼节美语：Participating in Company Social Events （英语听力）ZT



陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作。他午间休息遇到了美国同事Amy。

(Office ambience)

C：Amy, 你看见副总裁布朗先生有关公司野餐的电子邮件了吗？

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

C：没错，要整整一天，而且还是个星期六。

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

C：我是有点儿不高兴。我这是第一次听说公司还要开野餐会。

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

C：可我一点儿兴趣也没有，尤其是要浪费一天周末时间。我打算告诉布朗，说我那天正好有事。

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：什么？非去不可？可我觉得，周末是自己的时间。公司没有权利要求我用自己的业余时间去参加工作上的活动。

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：我倒是想听听，为什么公司野餐非去不可！

******

Amy和陈豪在公园的椅子上坐下。

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：这太可笑了。参加社交活动跟做好本职工作又有什么关系呢？

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：加深对同事的了解？跟他们做朋友？可我为什么要跟他们做朋友呢？

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，可为什么还要主动承担组织筹备的工作呢？

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，野餐会上还有不少家庭活动。

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

C：我们有必要去认识同事的家人吗？

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，我回去就报名参加野餐组织委员会。
