職場(chǎng)心經(jīng)

在西方人的觀念中，無(wú)論是私人會(huì)面還是商業(yè)約會(huì)，事先約定是基本社交禮儀。安排經(jīng)理、老總們約會(huì)往往是秘書(shū)或者助理的職責(zé)。掌握上司的工作日程和活動(dòng)，了解約會(huì)的目的和意圖，是安排上司和他人約會(huì)工作中很重要的事情。預(yù)約可以當(dāng)面進(jìn)行，也可以通過(guò)傳真，電子郵件和信函，但大多數(shù)都是電話商定約會(huì)的具體時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)。

today與tomorrow：

表示“今天”“明天”，有兩層意思：一是指狹義的今天、明天（相對(duì)昨天而言），二是廣義地指現(xiàn)在、未來(lái)（相對(duì)過(guò)去而言）；表示前者的意思通常用-'s構(gòu)成所有格，表示后者的意思，通常用of構(gòu)成所有格。例如：

Have you read today's paper?

你讀過(guò)今天的報(bào)紙了嗎？

The news will be in tomorrow's newspaper.

明天的報(bào)紙將刊載這條消息。

Young people of today have no manners.

如今的青年人不講禮貌。

The world of tomorrow will be very different.

未來(lái)的世界將大不相同。

由于today和tomorrow可同時(shí)作名詞或副詞，所以用of構(gòu)成所有格時(shí)，有時(shí)可省略of而直接用副詞后置定語(yǔ)。如：women today（當(dāng)今的婦女），the changes tomorrow（未來(lái)的變化）等。

另外，在現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)中用于廣義表示“現(xiàn)在”“未來(lái)”時(shí)，有時(shí)也可用-'s構(gòu)成所有格，但不如用of普通。例如：

Today's youth will be the leaders of tomorrow.

現(xiàn)在的年輕人將成為未來(lái)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。
