Basic Business Rules
简单的生意规则
How to Dress
如何着装
The convention is that men wear a suit and tie and that woman wear either a business suit or clothes of a formal design. Suits are normally black or grey however women are not as limited as men and colour can be used as long as it is done conservatively.
依照常规,男士应该穿西装,戴领带,而女士应该穿职业套装或者是正式设计的服装。西装的颜色一般都是黑色或者灰色的,然而对女士来说,在 服装颜色上的限制却没有男士那样的多。
Greetings
见面礼节
A handshake is normal when meeting and saying goodbye to people. And it is used for both men and women. Men usually prefer a firm handshake but not so firm for women. Women can remain seated for a handshake but men should stand up as a matter of courtesy. It is important to have eye contact but not for too long. If you look someone in the eyes for too long they will start to feel uncomfortable. Also do not stand too close to people, as the British are well known for wanting what we call personal space.
当你与人见面或者告别的时候,握手是一种常见的礼节。男士和女士都可以使用握手礼节。男士之间的握手一般都比较有力,而与女士握手时你不 能握得太用力。女士可以坐着与人握手,而出于礼貌男士应该起身站立与人握手。当你与人握手时,眼神上的接触是很重要的,但却不能持续太长 的时间。当你用太长的时间注视着别人的眼睛,会让人感觉很不舒服。同时,当你与人握手时,不要与人站的太近,因为英国人对个人空间的要求 是众所周知的。
Titles
称谓
When addressing people it is still customary to use their titles. i.e. Mr, Mrs, Miss and in some cases Ms. Try to avoid using first names until you are invited to do so. Although the younger generation of businessmen and businesswomen are a bit more relaxed about this rule.
当你与人说话时,应该用尊称来称呼他人,这仍然是一种习俗。尊称有,先生,夫人,小姐,有时也用女士。当你称呼他人时,避免用他们的名字 ,除非是名字的主人让你如此称呼他。然而年轻一代的商人对这一条规则却不是那么的在意 。
