　　谢谢。我很高兴能来这里上班，布奇华先生。

　　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。

　　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?
　　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的和纪律松懈的表现。明白吗？

　　是的，先生。
