【商務英語】Lesson 021 - Remembering Names

　　禮儀好語021講

　　陳豪正在北京的ABC美國公司事件，好籍華人Mary分開後，他立即結識了公司新往的美國同事Amy。看，他們正在喝下戰書茶。

　　(Office ambience)

　　C: Hi, Amy. 你在這兒太好了。我正好有個題目请求教你。

　　A: What is it?

　　C: 我開端正在那女工做以來，結識了良多人，到哪兒都会掽上，但卻記不住他們的名字。

　　A: I have a simple way to remember names.

　　C: 那你快教教我，甚麼好办法。

　　A: I have an acronym that helps me.

 

　　C: 那是什麼?

　　A: An acronym is an abbreviation formed by using the first letter of words in a phrase or name.

　　C: 我曉得了，就是几個單詞的英文尾寫字母的縮寫。

　　A: The acronym I use to remember names is FACE. F stands for focus。 您第一次睹到一小我俬傢，起重要留心他的名字。

　　C:說起來輕易，可我就是做不到。我總唸著上里該說點兒什麼。那你再說，翻譯，A代表什麼呢?

　　A: The "A" is for ask. Repeat the name in the form of a question. For example, if you are introduced to Bill, 你就能夠問, "Bill?"

　　C: 聽起來不偶異嗎?

　　A: 诚然不了. It is natural that you would want to verify the name and make sure you heard correctly. 越是不經常应用的名字，便越應噹問清楚。

　　C:你說得確切有道理。别人讓我反復自己的名字，是渴望不會叫錯，我會觉得別人這樣做是尊重我。那C呢?

　　A: The "C" is for comment. Make a comment about the person's name - a comment that connects the name to someone or something that you can recall later.

　　C: 你是讲如果有人叫Bill，我就可以夠說"Bill? As in President Bill Clinton?"

　　A: 你實是一面就通。It is also a conversation starter so now you see why you don't need to worry about what to say next. It comes naturally.

　　C: 對呀。如許接下來就有話題了。那最后一個字母E呢?

　　M:"E" stands for employment. Employ means to use the name in conversation with the person. Using the name helps you remember it.

　　C:出錯。有的時刻多叫僟回便記著了，並且借能讓别人感应你重视他。Amy，你能不能再反復一下FACE的用法。

　　A：I am happy to repeat it. First you focus and think only of the other person's name. Next you ask or repeat the name in the form of a question. Then you make a comment about the name. Finally you employ or use the name while you are speaking with the person.

　　C: Thank you. 来日凌晨我刚好有一個事情宴會，到時辰一定要嘗嘗這個訣竅。
