With the development of global economic integration, the business community is becoming more and more competitive.In order to stand out in business areas, we need to master effective communicative and proper interpersonal skills.Together with China's accession to the WTO, there is more emphasis on the importance of business etiquette.Thus I am going to talk about etiquette in business dealings.At the very beginning, I would like to give an introduction of business etiquette.“Etiquette is the general name of courtesy and ceremony.It refers to the established standards of conduct and procedures that people use to beautify themselves and respect others during the various social interactions.It embodies the politeness, courtesy, appearance, rite, etc.Etiquette is an important symbol of human civilization and social progress, which is not only the key part of communication, but also is the external manifestation of morality and culture.” When etiquette is used in business, it is formed into the business etiquette.That is to say, in the business interaction, there is a certain established and accepted procedure and means abiding by people to show respect to each other.The central role of the business etiquette is to reflect the mutual respect between people.Briefly, business etiquette is a general requirement for people’s appearance and manners in the business activities.For the classification, the widely common types are such as business negotiation etiquette, business letter etiquette, greeting etiquette, gift etiquette, conference etiquette, telephone etiquette, banquet etiquette and so on.Because business etiquette is a comprehensive subject, the so-called several branches, are relative.The different branches of business etiquette are mingling with each other.I am going to talk about greeting etiquette, gift etiquette, table etiquette, conference etiquette and dress etiquette one by one.Greeting Etiquette In different countries, people have different ways of greetings.“The impression you make starts with the greetings you give people.It's their first opportunity to assess your personality, your demeanor and your manners.Greeting people politely is an important skill to master both socially and in a business setting.To avoid making an unfavorable first impression, be sure that you know the proper etiquette for any situation you may encounter.Many western countries accept hugs and kisses as a popular form of greeting although a handshake is still the formal way of greeting people.”
In China, a handshake or a simple and kind salutation is common.Interactions in a business setting are, generally speaking, more formal than interactions in your private life.If it is your first time meeting someone, you should stand;shake his hand and say, “I'm glad to meet you.” If you have already been introduced to one another, say, “It's good to see you again,” or “It's good of you to join us.” It is proper to shake handsbut also how to sit and toast and any other manners that happen when we have dinner.When it is in china, we have our table etiquette.Chinese people love to eat and China is regarded as one of the world's greatest cuisines.During the long period of development of the eating culture, there formed many things about the eating that foreign visitors may find quite different from what they are used to and even feel weird.When called to table by the host, guests take the places assigned to them by the host.The order of the seating on the part of the host is somewhat complicated and follows strict rules.The first rule governs the guest of honor, who, if not a special guest for the occasion in question, is the eldest member of the family.In ordinary family get-togethers, the guest of honor is always the eldest member of the family.The guest of honor always occupies what in the American Wild West might have been termed the “Wild Bill Hickok Seat”, i.e., the seat that affords the most comprehensive view of the other guests as well as the best view of the entrance door to the room.If there is no seat facing the entrance door, then the “central” seat facing eastward is the seat of honor.A corollary to the respect shown to the guest of honor in the seating arrangement is the rule that the guest of honor “breaks the ice” by taking the first drink or by proposing the first toast, just as it is the guest of honor who is the first to begin eating.As to the mechanics of the first toast, the guest of honor raises his glass first, then the first “row”, the second “row”, etc., down the line as each “row” raises its glasses until the last “row” is reached, where upon everyone drinks at the same time, possibly to a special toast.As for western table etiquette, dinner usually begins with soup.The largest spoon at your plate is the soup spoon.It will be beside your plate at the right-hand side.If there is a fish course, it will probably follow the soup.There may be a special fork for the fish, or it may be similar to the meat fork.Often it is smaller.The main Course is usually served by the host himself, especially if it is a fowl or a roast which need to be carved.He will often ask each guest what piece he prefers, and it is quite proper to state your preference as to lean or fat, darker light.If a servant passes food around, he will pass the dish in at your left hand so that you can conveniently serve yourself with your right hand.Never serve yourself while the dish is on your right;it is then the turnof your neighbor on the right.It is polite to take some of everything that is passed to you.But if there is something you may not like, you may quietly say: “No thank you.” A salad is eaten with a fork only held in the right hand with points turned up.There is usually a special one for the salad, a little smaller than the meat fork.Bread is taken in the fingers and laid on the side plate or the edge of the large plate;it is never taken with a fork.Butter is taken from the butter dish with the butter knife and placed on the side plate, not on one's bread.It is impolite for a guest to leave the table during a meal, or before the hostess gives the signal at the end.When the hostess indicates that the dinner is over, she will start to rise from her seat and all the guests she raise from theirs at the same time.Conference Etiquette If you are going to companies, you are bound to have conference to attend.Prior to attending to the conference, do your homework and figure out whom you would like to meet and see over the next few days.Scan through the welcome packet and highlight any names of people you’d like to see.Upon arrival, make it your mission to network with the highlighted attendees.“Don’t come so hungry that you attack the bar area and food area as soon as you arrive.Networking is the time to meet and greet, and then eat and drink.About a half hour before the opening reception, get a snack.Make it something light but filling, like an apple or a smoothie.Then, you won’t be starving during the opening session.” The purpose of this event is to meet and greet people, which can be difficult when you’re carrying a drink and a plate.If you are alone at the networking or opening session, start off by approaching another individual or small group of two to three people.It can be awkward to approach a larger group, as they are harder to break into and to start a one-on-one conversation.After you have your initial conversations, ask your new contacts to have a drink with you or meet you near the buffet for food.Move around the room.When you meet someone, introduce yourself, exchange business cards, talk, possibly set-up anothertime to meet, or a time for a call when you return to the office.Shake hands as you leave;thank them and then move on to the next person.You need to come to the session prepared with notebook paper and pens.If you forgot to bring some, you may be able to find a notepad in your hotel room or at the front desk, but better to be prepared ahead of time.Don’t take up two or three seats.Move right on in and meet someone new, sitting next to you.Introduce yourself.Enjoy their company before the speaker begins.Arrive early, sit in the front and learn as much as you can.This is a time to learn.If you’re with a chatty attendee, politely tell them that you would love to talk after the session.Be polite, sincere, and firm.Tell them right at the beginning of the conversation.If you wait too long to say something, you can get hooked into the conversation, and it will be more uncomfortable to get out.Respect the speaker.As a speaker, it can be frustrating to be on a stage in front of a group and realize attendees are chatting among themselves.If you must have a conversation or make a phone call, please leave the room out of respect.Dress Etiquette It is often said that the first impression is the best impression.So, efforts must be taken to ensure that a positive long lasting impression is made the first time.Appearance and the way one carries oneself are the two things that are first noticed on entering a room.So, corporate dressing etiquette is to be given great importance.The way we dress reflects our inner self.Dress can make a person look confident and in control of the situation.Dress should be befitting the occasion.Identify the dress code followed in the business entity before appearing for the interview.Company website can give a general picture of the dress code followed.For example, while browsing through the careers in Accenture, India, one gets a view of the people and the way they have dressed helps in preparing oneself for the interview.Geographical and cultural environment influence the dress code to an extent.For instance, many Indian companies opt for casual attire because of the warm climate in the country.Formals like blazers are generally worn on important customer meetings, if necessary.The cultural environment is another significant determining factor.For example, wearingof a black tie is inappropriate in the presence of Japanese clients as black ties are worn during mourning.So selection of the dress must be made with great care.Dress attire can be casuals or formals.Men should be properly shaved and dressed to the occasion.While choosing formal attire, the suit, shirt, tie and the shoes must be in perfect co-ordination and well fitted, the tie knot should be in accordance to the situation, hair should be well groomed, aftershave must be applied, and it should not be too strong.Similarly, casual shirts and trousers must not be too flashy or too tight, never wear shorts to work.In case of women, skirt suit is ideal, but trousers too can be opted with formal closed shoes and suitable jeweler and perfume.Casuals should not be too flashy, never wear tight, revealing or short attire to work.Companies invest a great deal of time, effort and money on creating and maintaining brand image.The importance of proper attire has been accepted by many.Companies like Tata Consultancy Services provide a dress allowance to employees who are working with the customer onsite to create a better image on its manpower.The recognition of the power of a well dressed individual is reflected by this example.Customers are more willing to accept the ideas put forth by a well dressed person as the better the image projected, the better the confidence they have in you.The personality, the confidence can be made conspicuous by dressing in accordance to the situation.An enterprise with well dressed manpower can speak of better confidence, thus adding to its brand value.参考文献:

Finding someone you like is the most important when you start a job-share.As job sharing is a way for two people to both fill one job,finding someone you like is very important for the success of the scheme.You may find one from your current workplace, or you may find one outside through all kinds of contacts.Organising and planing how you share the work is also important.If it’s shared reponsibility, there is no division of duties but two people have to split the hours clearly to ensure that the work flows continuously.If it’s divided responsibility, each partner has to be clear about his own case—load or project to focus on during his working hours.If it’s unrelated responsibility, the partners have to learn what their separate tasks are in the same department, and each has to do his own share well.Communication is another important factor to consider when you arrange the job-share,especially for shared responsibility.Partners have to communicate well so that jobs are done smoothly.Using email, voicemail messages, daily logs and notes are some techniques that help facilitate communication.B:WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN„?

行业介绍快餐行业
公司介绍McDonald's Corporation
随着西方习俗和文化对亚洲的渗入,西方的快餐业也大量融进中国市场。其中麦当劳就是最成功的快餐行业中的例子。现在麦当劳拥有超过31000家快餐厅,分布在全球121个国家和地区,拥有39000人,无疑是世界快餐业的巨无霸。麦当劳的成功和它管理的规范化和产品质量的标准化及服务的周到密切相关。在对麦当劳的参观过程中,我们进一步了解到麦当劳内的操作体系和程序,员工内的奖惩制度以及顾客至上的原则。本人参考许多文献及网上资料,将在本报告中对麦当劳进行以下几方面的分析:公司文化,客户价值,产品,员工及竞争对手等方面对麦当劳终端市场做出描述并给出SWOT分析和评价,并对公司的未来发展给出个人的意见和建议。最后,将结合公司文化和自身特点谈谈本次实习的意义和感悟。
麦当劳终端市场分析
1.企业文化
企业文化是一个公司的灵魂,是一个公司扬帆远航的指南针。企业文化是为一个企业所信奉的主要价值观,是一种含义深远的价值观、神话、英雄人物标志的凝聚。我将从以下几个方面描述麦当劳的企业文化
1.经营理念特许经营模式QSCV
特许经营模式 麦当劳采用特许经营的方式,在全球范围有越来越多的加盟店进入,达到产品标准化、服务标准化、促销标准化,进一步扩大了它的品牌。麦当劳提供日常营运操作、培训、营销、广告、人力资源、采购和店铺选址等广泛的支持和保障,让被特许人不仅在创业初始无后顾之忧,更能在未来餐厅发展上,赢在细节和执行。
4.麦当劳拥有世界上最优秀的供应链,通过与供应商紧密合作,以全球化采购的方式,确保以最有竞争力的价格提供最优质的原料。
以租赁为主的房地产经营策略
麦当劳开展特许经营主要是以购买或租赁地产的形式进行,麦当劳公司总部长期承租或购进土地和房屋,然后将店面出租给各加盟店,这种经营策略,实质上是把第一债权人的权利转让给了麦当劳总部,使它具备了从银行取得贷款的资格,从而解决了各加盟者开店的资金困难,为麦当劳特许经营的顺利开展奠定了坚实的基础。
联合广告基金制度
设立广告基金是麦当劳开展特许经营的重要营销策略,由加盟者联合起来,共同筹集资金承担广告费用,可以在更大范围内扩大麦当劳的统一品牌形象,弥补加盟者单独进行品牌宣传广告经费不足的问题。
SQCV
Q代表优质,是指麦当劳为保障食品品质制订了极为严格的标准。麦当劳对品质管理十分严格,视频制作超过一定期限就舍弃不用,如汉堡包的时限是10分钟,炸薯条的时间是7分钟,原产品面包一般是15天,肉饼最多也不能超过3个月。麦当劳的每一家分店食品质量和配料都一样,也同样保证麦当劳食品送到顾客手中之前,经过了一系列周密的品质保证系统。严格的标准使顾客在任何的时间,任何地点所品尝到的麦当劳食品都是同一品质的,一切以质量取胜。
S代表服务,是指按照细心、关心和爱心的原则,提供热情、周到、快捷的服务。麦当劳餐厅的侍应生谦虚有礼,餐厅设备先进快捷。顾客等候的时间很短,还备有各类消毒的食品包装,干净方便。餐厅布置典雅,播放轻松的乐曲,顾客在用餐之余还能得到优美的听觉享受。
C代表清洁,是指麦当劳制订了必须严格遵守的清洁工作标准。如与昂你上岗前必须用特制的杀菌洗手液搓洗20秒,然后冲净,烘干,甚至连厕所都规定了卫生标准。
V代表价值,即物有所值,是为了进一步传达麦当劳的 “向顾客提供更有价值的高品质“的理念。麦当劳的食品讲求味道、颜色、营养。价格与所提供的服务一致,让顾客吃了之后感到真正的物有所值。
2.服务理念顾客第一;高效、快速;“苛刻”更多欢笑,更多选择,尽在麦当劳
为了使各加盟店都能够达到令消费者满意的产品与服务标准,麦当劳建立了严格的检查监督制度。麦当劳体系有三种检查制度:1.常规性月度考评;2.公司总部的检查;3.抽查。公司总部统一检查的表格主要有食品制作检查表、柜台工作检查表、全面营运评价表和每月例行考核表等;
为了吸引顾客,提高服务质量,麦当劳始终坚持优质服务,雷。克罗克提出一句口号:“把自己摆在顾客的位置上,“要求员工”将心比心“,事事时时为顾客着想。另外,麦当劳要求员工都是要微笑待客的,而每家麦当劳里都有一位接待员为顾客提供服务。此外,快捷的速度,创造欢乐舒适的氛围,顺应顾客要求,不断提高服务质量一直是他们的服务宗旨。
客户价值
每一个企业都深知客户就是上帝,客户的忠实度对一个企业来说是非常重要的。因此在质量、服务方面麦当劳一直重视着客户价值。这些都已经体现在服务理念及产品方面中。
产品
麦当劳的所有产品原材料均来自一个厂商,不会因为要减少运输费而在当地进行购买达到标准的统一化。并且它在选择合作者的条件上十分严格,如麦当劳的面包是不会掉渣的。可口可乐的最可口温度是4度,所以它的可乐都是保持在4度的。麦当劳的产品在同等质量上与其他竞争对手相比,是价格低的。而同等价格上它的质量绝对是好的,并且美味的。
员工方面
麦当劳采用人性化管理,将其广大员工和人才视为最大的两大财富之一。麦当劳公司的合作者们首先是“队员”,其次才像其它公司的人一样是雇员。团体观念在一个工作条件艰苦的行业中是十分重要的,在麦当劳,艰苦的工作条件和激烈的竞争,要求每个人的必要的谅解和容忍的精神。为了提高服务质量,对工作人员的挑选非常认真,注意职工素质的训练,对新招来的职工必须进行为期10天的训练,才能正式提任店员。麦当劳特别重视管理人员和服务人员的培训,并且为了激发公司员工上下团结一致,麦当劳采取以下的措施,1善待员工,让他们懂得你是为他们着想的,2多参与员工们的活动,了解他们的苦衷,及时与员工们沟通3 给下属们创造良好的工作环境,让他们知道管理者处处体贴他们4认同员工的表现,向员工表示赞赏,不仅要口头肯定,还要适当加薪,让他们知道管理者随时在肯定他们的贡献5容忍每位员工的个性与风格,使他作为一个活生生的人存在吗不要把他们管理成仅会说话的机器。
竞争对手
除了清洁程度,服务标准,质量的大大不同外,很多人都在诧异,为什么肯德基在中国比麦当劳受欢迎,但麦当劳确是世界上的巨无霸呢。很大程度上,是因为麦当劳的质量标准化,世界每一个角落的麦当劳都是一个味道的,曾经有老外人,在中国吃麦当劳有家的味道。我想这是很多快餐店无法比较的。
SWOT 的分析
1、S: strength, 即优势快捷,美味,服务好,质量好
产品质量好,价格实惠
服务周到,真诚对待每一个顾客,环境优雅整洁
点餐时间短,方便快捷。
员工忠诚度高,团队精神强。
注重了年轻顾客,尤其是一些小朋友
2、W: weakness, 即劣势。
店铺分布不够广泛,品种不是太齐全,有的产品不适合部分客户的口味,如辣。
广告不够响亮,及普遍。
3、O:opportunities,即机遇
随着工作的紧张及时间的不足,越来越多的人开始选择吃西式快餐。
知名度的提高,越来越多人 开始喜欢上麦当劳。
为很多顾客提供了方便,市场的进一步扩大化
4、T:threats,即挑战

1、麦当劳的市场优势在于清洁(clean)、快速(fast)、品质(quality)、服务(service)、价值感(value)。
2、麦当劳以年轻人为主要目标市场(年龄由4—30岁男、女性),3、市场定位:A.麦当劳:以年轻、活泼作诉求,希望提供一个轻快的用餐环境。
4、麦当劳:依消费者对消费价值感的知觉来感受价值,加以订价。
环境战略:麦当劳:○以地区人口分布决定开店地点与规模;○着重地区分布与物流配销问题;肯得基:○人口结构与密度;○商
圈特征(以商业区分布与学校附近及人潮集中地区为主)
5、通路策略:麦当劳:逐步向中南部发展,并发展适合各种商圈与立地条件的店(包括人潮集中区、车站附近、学校、商业区、金融圈)。肯得基:全面性发展。ZHG:以快速开店来占据市场空间拉近与麦当劳的距离,并定位于市场追随者的角色。
6、推广策略:在零售服务业的行销策略中,企业形象的建立与知名度的炒热相当重要。除了通过经营者所提供的商品带给消费者的感觉外,广告与促销活动更是经营者在争取消费者认知与印象的重要策略。因此,广告策略与促销战略的实战运用,并发出适当的广告与促销讯息与消费者心连心,建立密切关系,乃是推广策略的主要课题。快餐业的推广策略分述如下,快餐连锁店的推广策略:
电视广告。麦当劳:○带动狂热;○大量投入TV广告;○密集强打。
促销活动:麦当劳:○合作促销生日餐会;○赞助回馈社会活动。
公共报道:麦当劳:○利用机会制造新闻事件;○各种活动吸引各媒体注意;
7、口碑宣传及耳语运动(Whisper Campaign)是极重要的沟通方式。此外,加强服务、维持良好品质都是必须落实执行的事项。(5)促销活动最常使用的方式是赠品与赠奖,举凡赠送小礼物、集点券、赠奖券等都非常流行与有效。(6)与其他企业合作做联合广告也是很有效果的方式。例如麦当劳与俏丽洗发精的联合广告即很成功。(7)社会爱心回馈活动、写作比赛、亲子活动、快乐家庭等顾客参与性的宣传与促销活动渐渐被快餐经营者所采用。(8)连锁店整体企业形象的塑造与提升,必须藉公益性活动、体育赞助活动以及捐血活动等慈善活动达成。(9)动用新闻性、话题性的讯息来做“议论纷纷”的宣传,可吸引大众传播媒体的注意与免费的宣传报道。(10)由各家分店的小商圈行销策略中,可做定点行销与广告表示的模范。同时,针对各商店附近的商圈特性、人潮特性加强促
销与推广的整体活动。
8、麦当劳还主动创造记者采访机会,参加公益活动,获得公众注意。在麦当劳的公关手册中,还提到在各个不同市场应采取的不同手段,如在以家庭为主的市场可将汉堡包所得捐给当地的学校做乐队制服,手册还指导加盟者如何争取报纸报道各店的活动,如何争取照片上报等。麦当劳每年捐出4%的营业所得,约5000万美元用于各项赞助活动,麦当劳总裁透纳曾说:“使我们的名字出现在公众
面前,而创造一个足以抵消卖汉堡包的企业形象。我们的动机99%是商业性的。
5、个人建议
进一步的扩大市场,加大广告力度,在商业繁华地多参加一些店铺的数量。
适应一些地方的独特口味设计一部分符合当地人的食品,增加营业额。
顺应市场的发展,多生产可爱特别的玩具吸引小朋友
个人感悟
1.整个企业 人生总是充满机遇的,只是我们很多时候没有发现。像克罗克发现了麦当劳特许经营的商机,而麦氏兄弟却没有,将这么好的机会让给了别人。一个企业最重要的是企业文化,树立好的口碑,敢于在行业领域中创新,处处为顾客着想。快餐行业中不仅仅产品的质量很重要的,同样餐厅氛围也是很关键的。另外,商业中要懂得抓住重点,像麦当劳将它的市场主要定位于年轻人,重点还要吸引孩子们,像在餐厅内设置游乐场所。服务的重要性,管理的完善性,管理者的智慧,良好的市场调查,质量的保证,顾客满意的重要性在麦当劳中都得到很好的体现。
对自己的认识
无论是在大学学习中还是在以后的工作中,我们时刻都要保持创新精神,善于寻找机遇,创造机遇。另外,从麦当劳中我主要学会了团队精神,无论是领导还是员工首先他们是一个团队,团队中一直活跃着奋进和家的气氛企业内部的支持和信赖是非常重要的,他们以亲人的形式互相支持,共同奋进,在快乐的氛围下,所有人都充满了干劲才能更好的工作为企业做贡献。我们无时无刻都要严格的要求自己,像麦当劳公司用严格的标准来要求雇员的衣着、修饰及仪态。我们更要时刻的要求自己,只有严律才会使自己奋斗上进.。

商务英语里面有一些赞美的词语或者表达法,尤其是在口语对话里面,它们的使用频率会更高一些。比如你参加一个商业聚餐,当你和外宾聊天的时候,怎么恰当地使用英语来赞美对方或者表扬对方呢?
我们先来看看最常用的表示赞美的英语单词有哪些: wonderful 太好了 excellent 好极了 beautiful 漂亮 great 真棒 这些词是我们经常使用表达对一些事情的赞美,但英国人用的赞美词比我们想象的要多,象“gorgeous”(极好),“terrific”(极妙),“fabulous”(极好)和“fantastic”(极妙)。是不是觉得好像听到过?
例句: You look fabulous at the party yesterday.(昨天你在聚会看起来太漂亮了)。He bought a gorgeous suit from the shop.(他从这个商店买了一套特别漂亮的衣服)。I saw a terrific film yesterday.(昨天我看了一个特别棒的电影)。
我们这里还有30句非常简单实用的英语口语,可以在平时生活或者适当的商务场合使用,都是用来赞美或表扬对方的。
1.You look great today.(你今天看上去很棒。)[每天都可以用!] 2.You did a good job.(你干得非常好。)[国际最通用的表扬!] 3.We're so proud of you.(我们十分为你骄傲。)[最高级的表扬!] 4.I'm very pleased with your work.(我对你的工作非常满意。)[正式、真诚的赞扬!] 5.This is really a nice place.(这真是个好地方!)[随口就说、但效果很好的表扬!] 6.You're looking sharp!(你看上去真精神/真棒/真漂亮。)[与众不同的表扬!] 7.You always know the right thing to say.8.You're very eloquent.(你总是说话得体。)[高层次的表扬!] 9.Nice going!= you did a good job.(干得好!)[极其地道的表扬!] 10.The food is delicious.(好吃!)[最普通、但非常重要的表扬!] 11.Everything tastes great.(每样东西都很美味!)
12.Your son/daughter is so cute.(你的孩子很可爱。)[外国人绝对喜欢听的表扬!] 13.What an adorable baby!(多么可爱的孩子。)[只管大胆用!] 14.I admire your work.= 15.i respect your work.(我对你的工作表示敬意。)[世界通用!] 16.You've got a great personality.(你的个性很好。)[一个非常安全的表扬!] 17.You have a good sense of humor.(你真幽默。)[美国人极其喜欢的表扬!] 18.Your chinese is really surprising.(你的中文令人惊讶。)[绝对和其他人不一样的表扬!] 19.Your english is incredible.(我真不敢相信你的英语。)[用了六星级形容词!] 20.You have a very successful business.(你的事业很成功。)[现代人非常喜欢听!] 21.You're very professional.(你非常专业。)[专业化的表扬!] 22.Your company is very impressive.(你的公司给我留下深刻印象。)23.You're so smart.(你非常聪明。)
24.I envy you very much.(我非常羡慕你。)
25.Your wife is very charming.(你的妻子很有魅力!)26.You two make a lovely couple.(你们真是天生的一对!)27.You're really talented.(你很有天赋。)
28.You look nice in that color.(你穿那种颜色很好看。)29.You have a good taste.(你很有品位。)
30.You look like a million dollars.= you look outstanding.=you look like a movie star.(你看上去帅呆了。)1.请假 Would it be possible for me to take the day off this Friday? 这个星期五,我是否可以休一天假?
请求休假用take the day off。如果是两天以上就用days off。上司可能会很干脆地答应说 “That'll be OK.”,也可能会不悦地回答“Will everything be all right?(一切都安排就绪了吗?)”。这些都要看你平时的工作表现而定。2.提议
I think we need to buy a new copier.我想我们需要买一台新的复印机.说出这句话之前,必须要说明“Our copying machine has broken down again.(复印机又出毛病了。)”以作为提案的依据。客气一些的提议,可用“suggest”来表达,如“I would suggest we buy a new copier.” 3.表示了解上司的指示 Yes, of course.是,我知道了.也可以用“I understand.(我明白了。)”,或“Yes, right away.(好的,马上去做。)”对上司说“OK”或 “all right”并不恰当。如果你很忙,应该说“I'm sorry, but I'm busy now.Could I do it later?” 4.确认上司指示的内容
You did say next Tuesday at 2:00 p.m., didn't you? 您是说在下星期二下午2点,是不是?
任何事都必须确认一下。如果对方是外国人更要如此。上句也可以直截了当地说“Let me confirm.(让我确认一下时间和日期。)” 5.报告商谈结果
I had a feeling he was in favor of the plan.我觉得他赞成那个计划.记住“I have a feeling(that)...(我觉得……)”,以及“...(that)he was against the plan.(他反对那个计划。)”这两句话,都是非常有用的哦!“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” 在外企工作强度大,8小时之外,人们进行不同方式得到娱乐消遣。一方面也是增加彼此的感情,有利于团队建设。而很多西方国家的老板虽然在工作中比较严谨,但是在工作之后非常乐于丰富多彩的娱乐活动。喜庆节日,公司业绩有所突破都会借口吃饭或是出去娱乐。
Why don't we have some entertainments for relaxation? 英国老板最崇拜文化,工作之余与他谈国家的文化,英国老板一定会和你结成知己。而浪漫的法国人工作和非工作时间简直盘若两人,他们会很热情的邀请同事吃饭或参加Party。而像荷兰人就不愿意和员工出去旅游。要注意的是集体场合上不要对同事说长道短,不要不停地谈孩子,家庭。这些话题都不适宜。在舞会上,女员工可以邀请男老板跳舞,只是跳一个舞没有什么不合适,假如一直邀请她的老板就不合适了。
If we go on a package tour ,we don't have to worry about accommodation,meals during the trip.如果我们跟团去的话,我们就不用担心住宿和吃饭问题了.package tour由旅行社组织的旅游。由旅行社负责预定飞机,预定宾馆,负责三餐的旅行方式称之为旅行团。这类旅行团往往价格便宜,很受欢迎。We can together sometimes.我们什么时候聚聚吧.在英美等西方国家,邀请分书面和口头。书面主要是通过请帖或请柬,较为正式。若采用口头邀请的形式,邀请人一定要向被邀情人讲明参加某一社交活动的内容。并要求对方表态接受还是谢绝。强调这点很重要,因为英美国家的人,尤其是美国人他们的邀请听起来像是口头邀请。但实际上并不具备以上规定的内容,因而不是邀请。如果对方不清楚对方向自己发出了邀请,很容易造成误解。
例如:
I haven't seen you for a long time.You must come round for dinner sometime.好久没见,什么时候一定过来吃饭哦.It's good seeing you.Would you like to have a cup of tea with me? 见到你很高兴,你愿意和我喝杯茶吗? 这里有两种情况需要注意。有时说的这些话完全只是表示友善的方法而非真正的邀请的意思。就像前一句话,我们只须回答:Thank you.I'd love to.(谢谢,我很乐意。)切记不要问:“什么时间?”否则会令说话人非常窘迫,因为他没丝毫心理准备。对于后一种情况,说话人实际上是在试探邀请成功的程度如何。通过交谈,说话人试探出邀请的成功性,便会发出真正的口头邀请。明确具体时间和地址。
I will have a birthday party next weekend.I was wondering if you'd like to go.邀请需要用词委婉贴切,要根据与对方的关系选择得当的语气。对于你的老板,虽然不是工作时间,但为表示你的尊重和委婉还是邀注意语言的口气。例如不应说:“You come to have dinner with us tonight.英美国家的人常常用一种东方人听起来不十分肯定或者商量的语气。I'm going to give a party this weekend.Would you like to come?.周末我要开晚会,你有时间来吗?
How about joining us for dinner this Friday night?(本周五晚上吃饭好吗?)对于这类邀请,从语气上判断,东方人总觉得邀请人心不诚,因而对是否接受邀请很犹豫。其实,你大可不必有此想法、西方人这样做是反映了他们为人处世不强加于人的行为准则。发出邀请要尊重对方的意愿与选择,以不妨碍对方的生活。对于某一社交活动,不管是书面还是口头邀请都需要在一周之前通知,并确定被邀请的客人是否接受邀请。并做出相应安排。也给被邀情人足够的时间来安排自己的活动。

职场工作英语技巧:如何跟老板说话
1.申请许可
Wouldn't it be possible for me to take the day off this Friday? 这个星期五,我是否可以休一天假?
请休假用take the day off.如果是两天以上就用days off.老板会很干脆地答应说that'll be OK,或是会带有不悦意味回答will everything be all right?(一切都安排就绪了吗?),这些都要看你平时的工作表现而定.2.提议
I think we need to buy a new copier.我想我们需要买一台新的复印机.说出上句之前,必须说明our copying machine has broken down again.(复印机又出毛病了)以作为提案的依据.客气一些的提议,用suggest如I would suggest we buy a new copier.3.表示了解上司的指示
Yes, of course.是,我知道了.也可用I understand(我明白了),或Yes, right away(好的马上去做),对上司说OK,或 all right并不恰当.很忙时,说I'm sorry, but I'm busy now.Could I do it later? 4.确认上司指示的内容
Yor did say next Tuesday at 2:00 P.M.,didn't you?您是说在下星期二下午2点,是不是?
任何事都必须确认一下.如果对方是外国人更要如此.上句也可直截了当地说let me confirm(make sure of)(让我确认一下时间和日期)5.报告商谈结果
I had a feeling he was in favor of the plan.我觉得他赞成那个计划.记住I have a feeling(that)...(我觉得......),及......(that)he was against the plan.(他反对那个计划)这两句话都很管用.实用商务英语名句详细解读

B: I don’t know how to choose it.There are a lot of apartmentsonsale.我不知道 该怎么办,那么多房子,眼都挑花了。
A: It is a buyer’s market, you know.现在是买方市场嘛!
2.a country mile一段很长的距离
该习语多用在美国口语中,名词country有“农场”的意思。在美国,由于科技比较发达,农场往往都很大。这些农场总能给人以辽阔、遥远之感。故该习语用country来指“距离之远”。
A: Is the house close to the central city?那房子*着市中心吗?
B: It is a country mile from the Central Park.But it won’t beaproblem since you drive.离中央公园远着呢。可既然你开车这就不成问题了。

3.a drug on the market滞销商品,滞销货,供应过剩的商品
drug的本义是“麻醉药品”,而麻醉药品是不能在市场上公开出售的,因此该词常常用来指“滞销货”。
A: The things my son bought home were usually a drug on themarketfor adults.我儿子买回来的东西在咱们眼里都是卖不出去的。
B: That’s not abnormal for a youngster.Young people all seemstobe crazy about such things.这对年轻来说没什么不正常的。年轻人看起来对这些东西都非常感兴趣。

4.a fair shake公平的待遇
shake在口语中有“处置、对待”的意思。当fair的意思为“公平的”时,这个短语的意思是“顺利的、有意的”时,它的意思就是“好机会”。
A: Bob, can you ever make a thing center?鲍勃,你就不能做对一件事吗?
B: Yes, I can and I am doing the center thing.我能,而且我现在干的就是对的。
A: You should go and see how Allan handles it.你真该去看看阿伦是怎么干活的。
B: It’s that Allen again!Why can’t you ever think of giving meafair shake?又是阿伦!你怎么就不能对我公平点?
5.a fat chance微小的机会
fat本是“很多”的意思,但在这里用了反意,表示“微小的机会”;表示同样意义的短语还有a fat lot,指“很少”。
A: What do you think of his plan?你觉得他的方案如何?
B: I have a feeling that is it doomed to fail.我感觉它注定要失败。
A: Why don’t you vote against him?干吗不投票否决他的提议?
