實用英語之職稱技巧:人人都該掌握的十大社交技巧

Remember to Say Thank You 　　記住說謝謝 　　Strap in, I』m going to write something extremely controversial here: Yes, you can thank someone with an email or a phone call. We all know traditional thank-you etiquette calls for a handwritten, snail-mail note, but I』ve seen it happen all too often: You keep meaning to find a nice thank-you card or choose some pretty stationery. But something comes up: a crisis, some project at work, football season. And time passes, as it does. Before long, it』s too late. And then a chance encounter with the would-be, should-have-been recipient of the phantom note sends you slinking into the shadows, quivering in breathless social shame. 　　注意了，下面我要說的話題極具爭議：是的，你可以通過電子郵件或者電話向某人致謝。我們都知道傳統的致謝禮儀要求必須是一封手寫並且龜速郵寄的致謝函，但我也經常遇到下面這種情況：你一直想找一張漂亮的致謝卡片，但遇到了一些突髮狀況，比如一場危機、一個工作上的項目、或者足球賽季，然後致謝這件事就這麼不了了之。再過了一段時間，你發現此時致謝已經太遲了。也許某一天你偶然看見了這張本該寄出的致謝卡片，於是羞愧萬分，恨不得鑽地縫。
