Ann. 陈豪是在北京的美国ABC公司工作的年轻人。他今天到外面办事刚回来。一回到办公室就急着去找美籍华人Mary 。


(Office ambience)


C: 嗨,Mary,我刚才去我们的会计公司。接待我的那位先生身上有股味道。我得跟他凑近在一起看报表。真是受不了。


M: 我们总以为每个人都知道如何保持清洁卫生。可是在实际生活中并不如此。


Personal hygiene 1在美国,特别在公司里是很重要的 。


C: 我知道personal就是个人,那么hygiene就是卫生,对吗?


M: 对,Hygiene - H-Y-G-I-E-N-E就是卫生。Personal hygiene就是一个人要保持清洁。


C: 我猜想会计公司的那人恐怕好几天没洗澡了。


M: 在保持个人卫生方面,bathing is key and it needs to be done on a daily basis。


C: 那个人呀,穿的衣服皱得像豆腐皮一样,好像是在一堆赃衣服里找出来的。


M: That's awful! 赃衣服那当然有味道了。You have to wear clean pressed clothes。


C: 我注意到我们公司的同事们每天都西装笔挺,衬衫烫得好好的,很有气派。


M: 这会给客户造成很好的印象。


C: Mary, 你看...我在清洁卫生方面没有问题吧?


M: 没问题。 You're fine!


******


M: 哟,陈豪,你今天怎么啦?


C: 我怎么啦?


M: 你身上有一股味道。你肯定昨晚在跟朋友一起大吃大喝,还抽烟,对不对?


C: 你怎么知道的呀?


M: 你难道不知道,晚上喝很多酒,再加上不断抽烟,第二天早上你身上就会发出一股馊味。Over-indulgence in drinking and smoking the night before will make you smell bad next morning。


C: 我早上还洗了澡呢!看来周日晚上不能去喝酒了。不过,Mary,我还有一个问题。有的人可能没好好刷牙,有口臭,碰到这种情况那你怎么办?


M: 我有一个很好的办法。你身边老带一盒薄荷糖。发现对方有口臭时,拿出来请他吃一颗,你自己也吃一颗。


C: What a good idea, Mary!你给我用英文把刚才说的要点总结一下,好吗?


M: Of course, Personal hygiene can affect the whole office and what people think of you. No short cuts when it comes to bathing, shaving and wearing clean clothes. Avoid over-indulgence in drinking and smoking on weekday nights.


C: 哟,我和朋友约好今晚去聚会的。那,我得马上去打电话改期。我走啦,Mary!
