First Meetings  初次见面

 

 

  第一天到公司上班,You must be nervous.你的心情一定挺紧张。怎么才能给上级和同事留下a favorable impression(良好印象)呢?西装革履的你看起来很cool,但你还是没有十分的把握。我们先来听听某家外企公司的新成员Peter King如何得体地处理他工作中的第一天。

    Peter: Good Morning. May I introduce myself?

      My name's Peter King and I'm new here.

  Anna: Pleased to meet you. I'm Anna White, the assistant to the Personnel Manager.Welcome to our company.

  你看,初次见面好比跳华尔兹,非常简单,就是三步曲:问候——介绍——对方回答。

  不过这首华尔兹在不同的场合,步伐也不相同。

  在formal正式场合中, 要用:Good morning/afternoon或How do you do,同时要shaking hands“握握手”来显示你的sincerity诚意。当然不要忘了smile一下,因为微笑是消除隔阂、沟通心灵的最好方法。

    而在informal非正式场合中,比如年轻人之间或平时的聚会中,我们就可以relax,放松一下,不单穿着随便,而且只需招手致意,问候语用简单的Hi, or Hello!就可以了。

  另外,作为新人,应该主动与同事交往,所以要先作self introduction,

  除了May I introduce myself? My name's Peter King,你还可以说:

  Let me introduce myself. My name's Peter. 或者I'm Peter. 作完了自我介绍,Peter希望Susan能把他介绍给经理或其他人,听听他是怎么说的:

  Peter: Could you introduce me to the Manager?

  Susan: Of course. Mr. King... Mr. White, let me introduce you to Mr. Peter King,

       the new clerk in your department.

  White: How do you do. I'm Alex White.

       We're going to be working together.

  Peter: How do you do. I've been looking forward to meeting you, Mr. White.

   原来他用了句型 Could you introduce me to sb.? 这显得很有礼貌。另外你还可以这样说:

   1、I haven't met your Managing Director yet. (我还没有见到你们的总裁。)

   2、I don't know anyone here. You'll have to introduce me.

    (这里的人我都不认识。您得给我作介绍。)

     如果情况相反,需要你把某人介绍给其他人,下面的句子可以帮你这个忙:

   1、Let me introduce you to our Managing Director.(请让我把您介绍给我们的总裁。);

   2、I'll introduce you to our Managing Director , this is Mr. Johnson, our MD.

    (我会把你介绍给我们的总裁。这是约翰生先生,我们的总裁。)

  最后,请问你知道在初次见面时哪句话是必不可少的吗? 对了, 是:

  Nice to meet you.(见到您很高兴。) 每当对方报上姓名时,你要记得说这句话。

    为了加深对方的印象,你可以加上你对对方的赞扬:

     I've heard a lot about you. (久闻大名) 。当然用 

    Glad to meet you. 或Pleased to meet you. 来替代Nice to meet you.也可以。

    得体的介绍和问候会给对方留下美好印象,但是你不能虎头蛇尾呀,告别也要无可挑剔。

   常用的告别语有:

   1、It was very nice to have met you.

   2、It was nice meeting you.

   3、Hope to see you again.
