职场中的文化冲突1我曾在英国的一家公司工作，该公司的客户大多来自国外。一开始，我不了解其他国家的文化，所以发生了很多尴尬的事情。2有一次，有一位客户到英国来拜访我们。客户到了以后，我试图和他握手，但他拒绝了，并向我鞠躬。我对他问候我的方式感到惊讶。经过一些研究，我了解到他的宗教信仰禁止他与没有亲属关系或没有结婚的女人握手。TextA3AnotherexampleisfromaguestofBrazil.Asweweretalking,shekeptgettingveryclosetome,andIfeltuncomfortable,soIkeptbackingawayfromher.Shelookedatmesurprised.Butshedidn’tsayanything.Afterseveraldays,IfoundoutfrommycolleaguethatinBrazil,gettingclosetosomeoneisasignoftrust,andawaytoshowfriendliness.InChina,bycontrast,physicalcontactfromabusinesscolleagueisfrowned4

3还有一个巴西客户的例子。当我和这位巴西客户谈话的时候，她一直离我很近，我感到很不舒服，所以我一直往后退。她惊讶地看着我。但她什么也没说。几天后，我从我的同事那里了解到，在巴西，接近某人是信任的标志，也是表示友好的一种方式。相反，在中国，商业伙伴的身体接触是不被允许的。4为了避免尴尬和误解，我们必须知道如何处理工作场合的文化差异。TextA5First,taketimetoresearchorenquire5

5首先，你需要花时间研究或询问你的同事或客户的国家文化，了解他们喜欢和重视的东西。例如，他们的食物、传统和礼仪。由于你的额外努力，你的同事会感到感激，而你的客户会更倾向于向其他人推荐你。6其次，克服语言障碍。在与外国同事或客户交流时，你需要调整英语以适应他们的英语水平；尽量避免使用俚语和行话，说话要慢一点。TextA7Allinall,confronting11culturaldifferencesintheworkplaceisunavoidable12

Aftersomeresearch,Icametounderstandthathisreligionprohibitedhimfromshakinghandswithwomentowhomhewasnotrelatedormarried.“thathisreligionprohibited...relatedormarried”是宾语从句；prohibitsb.fromdoingsth.的意思是“阻止某人做某事”；“towhomhewasnotrelatedormarried”是定语从句，修饰先行词women，women在句子中做宾语；关系代词who或which在定语从句中做介词宾语时，介词可放在后面，也可提前构成介词+关系代词whom（先行词指人）/which（先行词指物）结构引导定语从句；关系代词whom在定语从句中通常可省略，但若其前有介词，则不可省略。Notes

培养全球化思维的五种方法商业全球化持续挑战着我们在不同国家和文化之间有效交流的能力，所以全球化思维是一种必不可少的职业特质。以下五步可以帮助你培养全球思维，提高跨文化交流的质量。1认清自己的文化价值观和偏见。第一步从发现和分析自己的价值观和偏见开始。培养强烈的自我意识有助于形成对差异的非判断性观点，这对于培养全球思维至关重要。TextB2.Gettoknowyourpersonalitytraits,especiallycuriosity.Therearefivespecifictraitsthataffectyourabilitytointeracteffectivelywithdifferentcultures:openness8,flexibility9,socialdexterity10

2了解自己的个性特征，尤其是好奇心。有五种特质会影响你与不同文化有效互动的能力：开放性、灵活性、社交技巧、情感意识和好奇心。虽然这些特质都很重要，但好奇心至关重要。因为我们都可以找到更容易的方式变得更好奇，而好奇心会引导我们提出问题并使我们具备全球工作特征所需的洞察力。TextB

3了解相关国家和市场的工作场所和业务期望。第三步需要将注意力从你自己转移到典型的工作习惯、期望和其他国家和文化的常见做法上。虽然你不可能对每种文化都了如指掌，但你可以从各种在线资源和数字学习平台上学习如何有效开展业务。4建立牢固的跨文化关系。就像学习第二语言一样，与世界各国的人相处对培养全球思维方式也是很有帮助的。建立自己的跨文化交际能力或构建自己的全球交流网络，这些都有助于找到可以给你反馈和指导的文化导师或教练。TextB
