Dressing for Business (2)
商务着装（2）
A: Even if our company didn’t have a dress code, I still think people would wear formal clothing to work.
A：即使我们公司没有着装规定，我也认为上班时应该穿正装。
B: I wouldn’t be so sure... People want to wear what they feel most comfortable in.
B：我看不一定……人们都想穿着自己最舒服的衣服吧。
A: Maybe that’s true for some positions, but I think the marketing and sales staff would definitely not agree. They dress for success! You can’t go out on a sales call if you are dressed in jeans. It’s just not respectful to your clients.
A：对某些岗位可能如此，但我认为市场部和销售部的员工绝对不会同意。他们得穿着得体！你不能穿着牛仔裤去约见客户，那是对客户的不尊重。
B: I think what you wear is so overrated. I would rather have a down-to-earth, honest and so1id sales person than a painted, patent leather, designer suit salesman.
B：我觉得你对着装太过在意了。我宁愿销售人员踏踏实实、诚实可信，好过他们穿着新颖的高级定制彩绘皮装。
A: It’s not as simple as that. People judge you by your appearance, whether you like it or not. So dressing professional is being professional. The image that you portray to others is so important in business. It is your image and how others perceive you that makes the difference between landing or losing a sale.
A：事情没那么简单。无论你愿不愿意，人们都会从外表来判断一个人。所以，着装专业就说明你很专业。你展示在他人面前的形象在商务活动中非常重要。你的形象和他人对你的看法会决定你能否做成生意。
B: Maybe you’re right, but I’ll take my sneakers and jeans any day!
