公司高层开会，老板Frank建议，严格员工的着装标准，穿得不能太随便。公司主管Penny说，
P: I'm inclined to agree with Frank. You know that old saying: "Don't judge a book by its cover?" Well, almost everyone DOES judge by what they see on the outside. ---1---.
F: ---2---. Clothes that are too revealing are not appropriate either.
G: What exactly is acceptable and what is not?
俗话说，Don't judge a book by its cover，人不可貌相，可实际上，Penny表示，几乎所有人都难免以貌取人judge by what they see on the outside, 因此公司需要树立专业形象。
Frank又说，女员工穿着也要tone down收敛，不能过于暴露，revealing, r-e-v-e-a-l-i-n-g, revealing，是暴露的意思。 那到底什么样儿才符合要求呢？
F: Well, for the men it's pretty simple. ---3---. Jeans are not acceptable.
P: ---4---. And blouses or shirts should not show too much skin.
F: And of course, no sandals or flip-flops. Shorts are NEVER acceptable.
P: Do you think members of the board should try to dress especially well?
F: Yes I do. ---5---. I'd say the men should try to wear a full business suit when possible.
男人简单，无非是衬衫领带，不穿牛仔。女人则要穿职业女装，裙子过膝，上衣不能太露，一个字，professional looking，看上去要职业化。此外，凉鞋、拖鞋和短裤是万万不能穿的。Frank还说，理事会成员代表公司，要以身作则，穿得更正式。
G: Can we still have "Casual Fridays?"
F: (Chuckle) Sure, Gary...let's keep that tradition. But "casual" can't be too casual. I'd say jeans are OK on Fridays, but no T-shirts. Polo shirts or short-sleeved sports shirts are OK.
G: So I guess we are going to need to send out a memo with these new guidelines. Some people aren't going to be very happy about this.
F: Well, we in management can lead by example.
P: Actually, I kind of enjoy getting dressed up! It's fun!
G: And I guess I'll get used to the new rules. I do look pretty good in a suit.
F& P: (Chuckle)
Frank同意保留星期五随意着装的传统，但不能太过份，牛仔裤可以穿，带领子的马球衫Polo shirts和短袖衬衣可以穿，但是没领子的T恤衫还是不行。Gary最后无可奈何地说，I guess I'll get used to the new rules，我想我会慢慢习惯新规矩的。I think we do need to present a more professional image
Some of the ladies may also have to tone down their attire as well
They should wear a button-down shirt with a collar and preferably a tie as well
For the women I'd say professional looking skirts or dresses that go down to at least the knee are acceptable
We are representatives of the company and we need to be a good example |
