商务礼仪之Knowing Your Boundaries at Work

陈豪在北京的`ABC美国公司工作。他在走廊上遇到同事Amy。

(Office ambience)

C：早上好，Amy. 我刚听到一条办公室的小道消息。

A：小道消息？

C：是关于销售部那个金发美女Sally的。

A：I know a Sally Smith in Marketing. I don't know anything about her except that she appears to be quite talented.

C：我从来没有跟她共事过，听说挺能干的，不过这件事跟工作无关。

A：Then why are you talking about her?

C：我听说她结婚刚刚几个月，就在闹离婚了。

A：I'm sorry, Chen Hao. What does this have to do with work?

C：当然跟工作无关了，说说罢了。

A：This is gossip. How did you come to know this?

C：会计部的Tim跟Sally是朋友，他告诉了Melissa, Melissa又告诉了我。

A：So, is everyone talking about this now?

C：大家都在传。Amy, 你干嘛那么不高兴，是因为Sally要离婚，替她觉得惋惜吗？

A：No. Well, yes, I am sorry to hear that kind of news, but that is not what is bothering me. Let's talk about this over lunch.

C：好，那我们中午在餐厅见。
