　　谢谢。我很高兴能来这里上班，布华奇先生。

　　F: Call me Buck, will you? My name is Reginald Buchwald but everybody call me Buck. It’s easier.
　　叫我布客就可以了，好吗？我的全名是雷奇纳客.布奇华，但是大家都叫我布客。这样比较方便。

　　C: I would hesitate to call you anything but Mr. Buchwald. Isn't it rather disrespectful to make a nickname out of the family name?
　　除了布奇华先生之外，我不好直呼其他名字，替别人另外取绰号，不是很不礼貌吗？

　　在我们公司规模很小的时候这就已经形成传统。不要担心不礼貌的事了，好吗？

　　C:I’ll try.
　　我会试试看。

　　F: Good. But when there are outsiders, like business people from other companies, it might be good practice to address your higher-ups as Mr., Ms.orwhatever is appropriate.
　　好。不过。如果有外人在时，如其他公司的人，最好能称呼你的上司为先生、小姐或任何适当的称谓。

　　F: To the outside world, our custom may be interpreted as a singn of flippancy or lax discipline. Get it?
　　对外人而言，我们的习惯可能会是轻率的和纪律松懈的表现。明白吗？

　　C:Yes, sir.
　　是的，先生。

　　F: (laughing) And don’t sir me either. Now I’ll show you your private office.
　　（笑着说）也不要叫我先生。现在，我带你去看你的私人办公室。
