職場(chǎng)英語(yǔ)：女性在職場(chǎng)中應(yīng)避免的5個(gè)錯(cuò)誤

Here’s a list of five simple and common missteps we must learn to dodge.

以下是我們必須學(xué)習(xí)避免犯下的5個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單又常見(jiàn)的過(guò)錯(cuò)：

1. Use your full name when meeting potential clients or new collegues.

1.使用全名會(huì)見(jiàn)潛在客戶(hù)或新同事。

Beyonce, Adele, Shakira have the whole one name thing covered. The rest of us down here on earth have two names—use them when introducing yourself.

碧昂絲、阿黛爾、夏奇拉可以只用名來(lái)介紹自己。剩下的我們，就要把名和姓都用上——介紹自己時(shí)請(qǐng)使用全名。

2. There are no excuses for not completing work, getting to work on time, or making a mistake.

2. 拒絕任何理由來(lái)解釋未完成工作、遲到或犯錯(cuò)。

Apologize and fix the problem. Everyone makes mistakes, if you’re not making any then you’re probably not going outside of your comfort zone and trying new things. The important thing is not to over-explain, just work to correct the issue and keep it moving.

請(qǐng)道歉，并解決問(wèn)題。每人都會(huì)犯錯(cuò)，如果你不會(huì)犯錯(cuò)，也許你就從未走出過(guò)自己的舒適區(qū)、嘗試過(guò)新事物。重要的是不要過(guò)度解釋?zhuān)灰Ω恼e(cuò)誤，繼續(xù)向前就好了。

3. Disregard # 2 when you haven’t made any mistakes.

3. 你沒(méi)犯錯(cuò)時(shí)，請(qǐng)忽略上一點(diǎn)。

Women have a tendency to apologize in the workplace, even when we’ve done nothing wrong. While you may think you’re merely being polite, you’re actually hurting your image. Think about it: If you’re apologizing all the time, people may interpret this behavior as a sign of weakness or a lack of conviction. So, whether you’re closing a business deal or negotiating your compensation, don’t be apologetic.

女性更愿意在職場(chǎng)上道歉，盡管我們根本沒(méi)做錯(cuò)什么。雖然你認(rèn)為這會(huì)顯得更禮貌，其實(shí)這樣已經(jīng)傷害了你的形象。認(rèn)真想想：如果你無(wú)時(shí)不刻都在道歉，大家可能就會(huì)將其理解為軟弱或缺乏信念的信號(hào)。所以，不管是在做生意，還是討論補(bǔ)償問(wèn)題，你都不要歉意連篇。

4. Don’t take it personally.

4. 不要把問(wèn)題個(gè)人化。

“Women, especially, need to realize that business choices and decisions are often made without regard to whether they are liked or their work is appreciated,” says Arlyne Diamond, Ph.D., a management consultant and professional development coach in Santa Clara, California. Just because someone in the office takes a pass on an idea of yours doesn’t mean they don’t like you. It’s not about you. It should be about the greater goal of making the business successful. You need to be a part of team or it will be personal when people begin to think all you want is your own success and really begin to resent you.

加州圣克拉拉管理顧問(wèn)和專(zhuān)業(yè)發(fā)展指導(dǎo)員、博士阿爾蘭·戴阿蒙說(shuō)：“尤其是女性，需要意識(shí)到，商業(yè)選擇和商業(yè)決策常常與她們的喜好和工作質(zhì)量無(wú)關(guān)。”同事忽略了你的觀(guān)點(diǎn)不代表他們不喜歡你。那與你無(wú)關(guān)。他們是為了商業(yè)成功的大目標(biāo)。你需要成為團(tuán)隊(duì)一員，否則，眾人如果認(rèn)為你一意孤行只想著自己的成功，他們就會(huì)開(kāi)始厭惡你。

5. Don’t s**t where you eat.

5. 勿進(jìn)餐時(shí)爆粗口。

It’s a place of business. Be friendly, but not overly personal with co-workers. They’re not your therapist if you had a rough night with your partner or your father confessor if you had a rough night at a bar. Building healthy relationships with co-workers is important, but draw the line, and be aware, some of these people may be in a position to raise you to the next level, or help you if you become their boss. Be the team leader.

這里是上班的地方。可以顯得友好些，但不要在同事面前大暴私事。他們不是治療師，不能解決你與同伴的矛盾，他們也不是知心姐姐，不會(huì)幫你解開(kāi)喝酒后的醉意。與同事建立健康的關(guān)系十分重要，但要有界線(xiàn)，還得注意，有些人可能計(jì)劃提拔你，或是在你成為老板以后輔助你。做一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)的好領(lǐng)導(dǎo)吧。

Lastly, the greatest mistake women make, and studies have shown it, is to sublimate their self-assurance in their undying efforts to “be liked”. A report, published last year by the Stanford Graduate School of Business, concludes that women who are assertive and confident, “but who can turn these traits on and off” depending on the circumstance “get more promotions than either men or other women.”

最后，據(jù)研究顯示，女性犯的最大錯(cuò)誤，就是爭(zhēng)先恐后把自信提升為“受歡迎”。斯坦福商學(xué)研究所去年發(fā)布的報(bào)告稱(chēng)，堅(jiān)定、自信但又能跟隨環(huán)境“顯示或隱藏這些特質(zhì)”的女人，“更易受到他人的肯定，無(wú)論男女。”

It’s less important to be liked at work than it is to be triumphant. That’s a win-win for everyone.

職場(chǎng)上“受歡迎”不如成為勝利者來(lái)得重要。那對(duì)誰(shuí)都是雙贏。
