Annie: Good Morning. Let me introduce myself. My name's Annie Hall and I'm new here.
Peter: Pleased to meet you. I'm Peter Alan, assistant to the Personnel Manager. Welcome to our company.
你看,初次见面其实非常简单,就是三步曲:问候--介绍--对方回答。不过在不同的场合,步骤也不尽相同。
在正式场合中, 要用"Good morning/afternoon或How do you do",同时要"握握手"来显示你的诚意。当然不要忘了微笑一下,因为微笑是消除隔阂、沟通心灵的最好方法。
而在非正式场合中,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"或者 "Hello!"就可以了。
另外,作为新人,应该主动与同事交往,所以要先作自我介绍,除了"Let me introduce myself. My name's Annie Hall",你还可以说"I'm Annie. "
作完了自我介绍,Annie希望Peter能把她介绍给经理或其他人。我们来听听她是怎么说的:
Annie: Could you introduce me to the manager?
Peter: Of course. Ms. Hall. Mr. White, let me introduce you to Ms. Annie Hall, the new clerk in your department.
她用了句型 "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 managing director.(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,还要记得初次见面时必不可少的一句话,就是"Nice to meet you.(见到您很高兴。)"每当对方报上姓名时,你一定要记得说这句话。当然用"Glad to meet you." 或"Pleased to meet you."也可以。
为了加深对方的印象,你还可以加上你对对方的赞扬:I've heard a lot about you. (久闻大名。)
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.
第一天上班其实很简单哦!
