陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作。他在走廊里遇到了美国同事Amy.
7 M7 s) P/ T- x/ O' N! W/ c2 DC:Amy,你有时间吗?
( e/ |' ^# m" e) a8 _; U" W% EA:Sure,什么事?
- I! U; i" G' ~6 @# R% I! [' L2 u# ~C:Todd这个人真是很奇怪。有时候,我打电话给他,他明明在办公室里,而且也不忙,可他就是不接电话。我只好在电话里给他留言,可他好几个小时才回电话,有时根本就不回。: O6 l# |/ }+ p: d
A:How does that make you feel?! H7 o; W$ K9 D' T* M
C:让我觉得自己无足轻重。我不愿意跟他共事。6 A- w; O7 h1 L9 _
A:That happens when we use voice mail to hide from other people. Voice mail makes it easy to ignore callers.: a  N5 K. y8 {/ \
C:我有的时候也不接电话,让打电话的人留言,比如手头工作急着要完成的时候。Is that wrong?, r* v3 F; u% I- D
A:No. That's a perfect reason to use voice mail. All of us have times when we need to work without interruption., \# _  Z* k$ x# C
C:可是有些人从来不接电话,电话打过去,一定是留言。这样下次谁还会找你呢?
$ F4 h* e% D6 g( N# `; c6 eA:没错。It doesn't take long for people to determine who is responsive and values their callers, and they call those people instead.
' o! x- z! {$ f  r7 s* K8 cC:他们这样做不仅会得罪人,还会失去很多机会。我倒要看看,这个Todd什么时候才会回我的电话。: \4 w% A3 m. J

) G( g# B" K0 v2 b, A* EA:CH, I am curious. Did Todd ever call you back yesterday?
; N/ g$ e' Z6 g5 |0 W: ?. LC:NO. 他一直没给我回电话。我觉得他这样做非常不礼貌。3 @/ _, V" `& ~5 U
A:Totally rude. It is quite one thing to use your voice mail when you can't be interrupted, but to use it
! U1 G+ z( M; I" U# R6 z8 zall day for your own convenience is disrespectful of other people and their time.+ y( I1 h  J$ V) h- o5 t
C:这确实是对我的一种不尊重。说实话,如果能从别人那里得到我需要的信息,我以后是不会再去找他的。我觉得Todd不是那种能愉快共事的人。
' ]" s2 q; M0 P7 h* S" BA:There are people who think that they are too important to answer their own phone and always use voice mail or someone else to answer for them.
  B8 A  l5 L% W! [! eC:不过,据我所知,一些非常成功的人士反倒有时间亲自接电话。Amy, 一般情况下,我们什么时候可以让别人留言而不失礼呢?9 O. O3 P1 X' B$ w9 [7 A' X
A:Send your calls to voice mail when you have someone in your office, when you need to concentrate on a project or when you are away from your desk.9 E" H0 @0 e% i) m( R% p* ?
C:噢,办公室里正好有人在谈事儿的时候,手头有工作赶着要完成的时候,或是不在办公室的时候,这些时候都可以让别人在电话上留言。+ g& L: Y4 k9 G, m
A:Otherwise, if your job or your business depends on relationships with other people, make yourself available.
/ G5 b! Q' Z, @0 KC:对呀,不管是谁,打电话都希望能找到自己要找的人。
