办公室说话技巧:永远不要问同事的10个问题

2012-11-10来源:互联网
6. "I heard Kim is dating Ryan." If you spread office gossip, your co-workers might listen eagerly, but they'll note that they can't trust you to be discreet. It's great to bond with co-workers over life outside the office, but the details of other people's lives aren't yours to share.
6. “听说卡姆正在和瑞恩约会。”如果你八卦办公室恋情,你的同事可能会过来凑热闹,但是他们会变得谨慎,不再信任你。你可以和同事讨论办公室外的事情来联络感情,但是不要涉及到别人的私生活。

7. "You're HOW old?" Whether you're implying someone is surprisingly young or surprisingly old, keep your amazement to yourself. Show respect for your colleagues as professionals, and don't baby the younger ones or make the older ones feel they're one step away from retirement.
7. “你多大了?”不管你是想暗示同事你特别年轻还是年长,最好把这个念头留在心底。从专业人员的角度尊重你的同事,别把年轻人当做小孩,也不要把年龄稍大的同事看作即将退休的老人。

8. "Don't ask me. They don't tell me anything." Complaining about how disempowered you are is a good way to undermine your own credibility and authority. If you don't have the information you need to do your job, you should go ask for it—not complain to others that you don't have it.
8. “不要问我,他们什么也没告诉我。”抱怨别人不重用你,只会降低你自己的可信度和威信。如果你没有得到信息,你应该做好自己的工作,去努力争取,而不是向别人抱怨。

9. "Why are you so dressed up today? Got a job interview?" You might not be thinking when this pops out of your mouth, but there's no outcome here that doesn't put your co-worker in an awkward position. If she does have an interview, you're forcing her to either confide in you or lie. If she doesn't, she now has to worry that you think she does.
9. “你今天为什么穿这么正式?要去面试吗?”你说出这句话的时候,肯定没经过大脑。这句话会让你的同事陷入非常尴尬的局面。如果她确实是去面试,你在强迫她相信你或者对你撒谎;如果她不去面试,她会担心你认为她是去面试。

10. "I'm so hungover." Telling your co-workers about your long nights partying might seem like no big deal, but if you get a reputation as a lush, you'll find your credibility diminishes—no matter how good your work.
10. “我昨晚喝多了。”向你的同事讲述你的通宵派对,看起来似乎没有什么问题。但是,如果别人认为你是个酒鬼,不管你工作做得多好,你的可信度都会大大降低。
