職場英語培訓班總結：職場說話藝術

Here are a few career-damaging statements to avoid.
下面有些可能對職業造成損害的話語要記得避免。
1. At 8 a.m. Monday morning, walking into the office
1. 週一早上8點，走進辦公室
Don’t say: “Before you settle in, I need to talk to you about the presentation.”
不能這樣說：“在你坐下來前，我想跟你談談會議展示的事情。”
Why it’s a problem: Is the presentation an actual fire that needs to be put out or just something that’s on your mind at that moment? People are still transitioning from the weekend. You may be catching someone unprepared, or she may have other critical deadlines that need her immediate attention.
問題出現在哪裏：會議展示真的那麼重要得馬上討論出方案嗎，還是隻是你當時心裏有一些想法？人們還在週末假期調整過來。也許你發現有的同事沒有做好準備，或者她有其他關鍵的最後時期事情需要她當即關注。
Say instead: “Hope you had a great weekend! Let me know when you have time today to talk about the presentation.”
應該這樣說：“希望過了一個愉快的週末哦！請讓我知道今天你何時有空能一起聊聊會議展示的事情。”

2. During a major meeting
2.重要會議的過程中
Don’t say: “I don’t have the numbers today because the intern didn’t give them to me.”
不能這樣說：“今天我沒拿到數據因爲那個實習生沒有把數據遞交給我。”
Why it’s a problem: It doesn’t matter if the intern really did screw up—it looks like you’re throwing the blame on someone else. Which makes you seem like you’re not accountable, and it makes your colleagues wonder if they’ll be looking at the undercarriage of the bus next.
問題出現在哪裏：實習生是否搞砸了並不重要——這樣看起來像是你在把責任推卸到別人的身上。這樣會讓你看起來不可靠，還會讓你的同事思考他們是否就會看到拖後腿的人了。
Say instead: “I don’t have the numbers right now, but I’m working with the intern to get them as soon as possible.”
應該這樣說：“當前我的手頭上沒有數據，不過我正跟實習生溝通儘快拿到數據。”
