(Office ambience)
A: Hi, Chen Hao, you look especially nice today. Is that a new suit you are wearing?
C: 是啊，我上星期買的，拿去改了一下，昨天取回來(lái)的。
A: Is there a special event or did you think it was time to upgrade your wardrobe because of your job promotion?
C: 二者都有點(diǎn)兒。我現(xiàn)在經(jīng)常接觸高層次的客戶，發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的穿著好像要更正式一些。
A: That was a smart move on your part. It is always good to imitate the way the highest level executives dress.
C: 跟他們?cè)谝黄?，光穿一件西裝上衣就會(huì)覺(jué)得很不自在。
A: We Americans have a saying about business attire: "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have."
C: 這么說(shuō)，如果我想當(dāng)公司老板，就得穿得象老板一樣嘍？
A: That's right. You have the idea. Would you mind if I pointed out a few things you could do to improve your look even more?
C: 我當(dāng)然不會(huì)介意，你的意見(jiàn)我永遠(yuǎn)歡迎。
A: I am short on time right now so could we talk over lunch?
C: 好，那我們一起吃午飯。
陳豪和Amy一起吃午飯時(shí)間。
C: Amy, 我們剛才說(shuō)到職業(yè)著裝。
A: You did a good job selecting the suit. That shade of gray is professional looking. Stick to grays, dark blues and charcoal. Blacks and browns are not good choices for a business suit.
C: 要選擇灰色、深蘭色和炭灰色，不要選擇黑色和棕色。還有嗎？
A: I am concerned about the length of your pants. The tailor seems to have gotten them too short when he hemmed them.
C: 你覺(jué)得這條褲子改得太短了嗎？
A: Unfortunately, they just barely come to your ankles. The hem of your pants should rest on the top of your foot with a slight break.
C: 還有嗎？
A: It's your shoes.
C: 我的鞋怎么了？這種船鞋不用系鞋帶，既方便又舒服。
A: They are a bit too casual for your suit. When you wear a business suit, your need a dressier shoe.
C: 那得什么樣的鞋才夠正式呢？
A: A lace-up shoe is the most conservative and coordinates well with traditional business attire.
C: 原來(lái)還是要系帶兒的鞋。
A: One final word is to make sure that your shoes and your belt match.
C: 幸好我升職的時(shí)候工資也一起漲了，看來(lái)我的衣柜要重新?lián)Q過(guò)才行。
A: The good news about that is that you only need a few pieces and when you buy suits and accessories that are top quality and conservative in style, they will last a long time.
