Dialogue A
Jenny is talking to one of her managers, Adam, about a new office policy that she has in mind.
Jenny: I've been thinking about the company's image recently. I want to
put a dress code1
into effect for all employees.
Adam: What will it include?
Jenny: I've noticed some people are wearing jeans and sports shoes. That's a bit too
casual for the office. I'd like people to dress in business fashion2.
Adam: Can you be more
specific about the rules?
Jenny: Of course. I'll send you the new policy
later on so you can inform everyone.
Dialogue B
Adam is discussing the new policy with Helen, his co-worker.
Adam: Bad news. The boss wants to
enforce a dress code in the office.
Helen: What kind of dress code?
Adam: No jeans, sports shoes, shorts, flip-flops3, or low-cut4 tops5.
Helen: Well, that doesn't sound too bad. That's
typical for most offices.
Adam: I know, but people
tend to dislike dress codes. How do I make it sound like a positive thing?
Helen: Just think of the benefits6 of having a dress code and then
point them
out.
Dialogue A
珍妮正在把一項她考慮執行的新公司政策說給她的其中一名經理亞當聽。
珍 妮：我最近一直在思考公司形象的問題。我想要對所有員工實施衣著規定。
亞 當：那會包含些什麼呢？
珍 妮：我注意到有些人會穿牛仔褲和運動鞋。那樣對辦公室來說太休閒了。我想要大家穿得有上班的樣子。
亞 當：您可以更具體地說明規定嗎？
珍 妮：當然可以。我會把新政策傳給你，然後你就可以通知大家了。
Dialogue B
亞當和他的同事海倫正在討論著這項新政策。
亞 當：壞消息。老闆想要在辦公室裡實施衣著規定。
海 倫：什麼樣的衣著規定？
亞 當：不能穿牛仔褲、運動鞋、短褲、夾腳拖鞋，或是低胸上衣。
海 倫：嗯，聽起來不算太糟啊。那是多數公司的典型規定。
亞 當：我知道，可是一般人往往不喜歡衣著規定。我怎樣才能讓它聽來像是件正面的事？
海 倫：想想有衣著規定的好處，然後把它們一一點出來就好了。
