About this episode

在國際化的職場中,一個小小的用詞選擇,就能決定對方對你的印象。 雖然 "foreigner" 是大家熟知的英文單字,但在辦公室對話中,有時它可能會聽起來有點疏離甚至不太友好。 今天就來教你幾個 更自然、更得體的替代說法,讓你和外國同事聊天時既禮貌又專業,還能瞬間拉近距離。 ▶點我看【 逐字稿、重點單字、句型】 https://mjenglishclass.com/business-english/foreigner-office-english 💬 Dialogue 地點:辦公室茶水間 情境:兩位同事在泡咖啡時,聊到新來的國際同事,並討論在職場中如何更禮貌地稱呼外國人。 英文對話 Mark: Did you see the new guy from our London office? He seems really sharp. Sarah: Oh, you mean Alex? Yes, he's great. I heard he's leading the new project. Mark: He is. He's a foreigner from the UK, right? Sarah: Yeah, but in the office, it's better to say "British" or "from our London office" instead of "foreigner." Mark: Really? Why is that? Sarah: "Foreigner" can sound a bit negative or distant. Being specific makes people feel more included. Mark: I see. So I should say "British" instead? Sarah: Exactly. Or just mention the office or country name. Mark: That makes sense. Thanks for the tip! Sarah: No problem. It's a small change, but it goes a long way. 中文 Mark:你有看到我們倫敦辦公室來的新同事嗎?感覺很厲害耶。 Sarah:哦,你是說 Alex 嗎?對啊,他很不錯,我聽說他在帶新的專案。 Mark:是啊,他是英國來的外國人吧? Sarah:對,不過在辦公室最好說「British」或「from our London office」,不要直接用「foreigner」。 Mark:真的嗎?為什麼啊? Sarah:「Foreigner」有時聽起來有點負面或疏遠,用更具體的說法會讓人感覺被尊重。 Mark:我懂了,所以應該改說「British」比較好? Sarah:沒錯,或者直接講辦公室或國家的名字也行。 Mark:有道理,謝啦! Sarah:不客氣,小改一下但很有幫助。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
