你不该告诉老板的十件事

2010-07-19来源:和谐英语
6 No!

If the boss comes to you with a project to do, it's not always in your best interest to refuse to do it. You could suggest someone else do it or declare how busy you already are, but to say no might not be appreciated.

不行!

如果你的老板去找你让你做一个项目,但它并不总是你最感兴趣的。如果想要拒绝他,你可以建议其他人来做,或是告诉他你现在有多么忙,但是直接说不行也许会让你的老板很不高兴。

7. How much do you make a year?

We all would love to know the truth about that one, and maybe some boss' are free to discuss it. But generally, it's a big no, no.

你一年挣多少钱啊?

我们都想去知道这个问题的答案,也许有些老板也并不介意去讨论它。但是总体来说,这是一个很不合适的问题。

8. Can I have another raise?

Most companies have a set program for raises and you need to understand that plan so that you don't look foolish and ask for a raise out of turn. If you feel you're entitled then make sure you do a bit of research and find out the best time to ask.

能不能再给我涨一次工资?

大部分的公司关于涨薪有自己的一套程序,你要了解这个程序以至于你不会很傻地再要求额外涨薪。如果你觉得自己有涨薪的资格,那么你要确保自己做一些调查,找出最合适的时候去要求。

9. You don't know that?

Most bosses like to feel that they know everything, although you and the rest of the office may differ in opinion on that issue. Try beginning your sentence with, "You probably already know this ". This shows your boss that you respect their intelligence, even though you know better.

你不知道那个?

大部分的老板觉得自己懂得所有的东西,尽管你和你办公室的其他同事也许会在一件事情上和你的老板有不同的观点。试着这样去说,“你或许已经知道这个”。这就让你的老板感觉到你尊重他的想法,即使你知道的更好一些。

10 Oops, I forgot.

And we do get so busy that we can't remember everything, but some things may not be well received when we say that. So, instead of saying you forgot, try, "I"m on it but I haven't got through to them yet'. It's like saying the glass is half full instead of half empty. They mean the same; one just sounds better.

啊!我忘记了。

当我们很忙的时候,我们不可能记得所有的事情,但是有些事情当我们说忘了的时候,老板们也许就会不高兴。所以,你可以说,“我正在做,但是还没有完成”而不是直接说你忘记了。

这就像是说玻璃杯里的水是半满着而不是半空着一样。它们的意思是相同的,只是另一个听起来更好。
