【kaka礼节美语】147 着装标准，你懂的 1

听力简介：

公司高层开会，老板Frank建议，规定着装标准，不能太随便。

Frank: Good morning everyone. Thanks for being on time.

Gary & Penny: Good morning, Frank.

F: We've got a whole bunch of topics to go over today, but let's start with a simple one: ---1---.

G: We have a dress code?

F: Well...if we didn't have one before, I'm instituting one, starting now.

P: What exactly does this mean?

公司老板Frank说，首先讨论着装要求，dress code。Gary觉得奇怪，不知道公司什么时候有了dress code. Frank表示，以前没有没关系，I'm instituting one starting now. 就从现在开始定。

F: ---2---. I was walking through the office the other day and some people were wearing shorts and T-shirts! I don't think that is appropriate office wear.

P: It's true. ---3---. It used to be that we wore casual clothes only on Fridays, but these days it seems we do it almost everyday.

Frank原来是看到员工穿得太随便，a bit too casual. T恤衫，短裤，什么都有，不合适上班穿。另外一位女主管Penny承认，着装标准是有些下降，原来只有星期五不用穿得太正式，也就是常说的Casual Friday, 可如今大家每天都穿得很随便。

G: But Frank, don't you think maybe this isn't such a big issue? I mean, why does it matter what we are wearing? ---4---!

F: Actually, I agree with you, Gary. Productivity is the most important thing. But I think what we wear is linked to productivity.

P: In what way are they linked?

F: Police officers wear uniforms, right? It's a symbol to both them and the public that they are serious about what they do.

Gary觉得，穿着并不重要，重要的是工作效率，productivity. Frank却认为，穿着跟效率之间也有密切联系。比如警察穿制服，就是一个象征，a symbol, 告诉自己，也告诉大众，他们觉得自己的工作很重要。

G: You're the boss, Frank, so of course it's your call...but I have to say, ---5---. I think neckties cut off blood circulation. I'm much more in favor of a relaxed workplace environment.

F: And for some companies a relaxed atmosphere might work. At Google they let you bring your dog to work! ---6---.

Frank的工作态度论并没有说服Gray. 他说，you're the boss. It's your call，你是老板，你说了算，但我还是主张有一个轻松的工作环境 I'm in favor of a relaxed workplace environment. Frank看来已经拿定主意，说轻松的工作环境适合某些公司，但他们是一家严谨的金融公司，with an image to uphold，要保持公司形象。新的dress code是什么呢？我们下次继续听。
