职场美语说礼节:如何快速记住别人的名字
(Office ambience)C: Hi, Amy. 你在这儿太好了。我正好有个问题要请教你。
A: What is it?
C: 我开始在这儿工作以来,结识了不少人,到哪儿都会碰上,但却记不住他们的名字。
A: I have a simple way to remember names.
C: 那你快教教我,什么好办法。
A: I have an acronym that helps me.
C: 那是什么?
A: An acronym is an abbreviation formed by using the first letter of words in a phrase or name.
C: 我知道了,就是几个单词的英文首写字母的缩写。
A: The acronym I use to remember names is FACE. F stands for focus。 你第一次见到一个人,首先要注意他的名字。
C: 说起来容易,可我就是做不到。我总想着下面该说点儿什么。那你再说,A代表什么呢?
A: The "A" is for ask. Repeat the name in the form of a question. For example, if you are introduced to Bill, 你就可以问, "Bill?"
C: 听起来不奇怪吗?
A: 当然不了. It is natural that you would want to verify the name and make sure you heard correctly. 越是不常用的名字,就越应该问清楚。
C: **** Hidden Message *****
A: The "C" is for comment. Make a comment about the person's name - a comment that connects the name to someone or something that you can recall later.
C: **** Hidden Message *****"Bill? As in President Bill Clinton?"
A: 你真是一点就通。It is also a conversation starter so now you see why you don't need to worry about what to say next. It comes naturally.
CH: **** Hidden Message *****
M: "E" stands for employment. Employ means to use the name in conversation with the person. Using the name helps you remember it.
C:**** Hidden Message *****
A:I am happy to repeat it. First you focus and think only of the other person's name. Next you ask or repeat the name in the form of a question. Then you make a comment about the name. Finally you employ or use the name while you are speaking with the person.
C: Thank you. **** Hidden Message *****
