考研英語(yǔ)時(shí)文賞讀（72）：英國(guó)職場(chǎng)出新規(guī)，“握手”也違規(guī)

　　摘要：考研英語(yǔ)作為一門考研公共課，雖然大家都學(xué)了英語(yǔ)十幾年，卻仍經(jīng)常有總分過線掛在英語(yǔ)上的情況，因此英語(yǔ)復(fù)習(xí)不單單是單詞、做題。閱讀作為考研英語(yǔ)的大頭，僅僅做考研真題或許沒法滿足你的閱讀量，因此幫幫之后會(huì)不定時(shí)推出一篇英文美文，這些文章都與考研英語(yǔ)閱讀同源，多讀必有好處。

　　It’s your first day at a new job and you want to make a good impression when being introduced to your new workmates.

　　你新工作的第一天，當(dāng)你被介紹給你的新同事時(shí)，你想給他們留下一個(gè)好印象。

　　However, if you’d normally go in for a solid handshake, then potential new workplace rules mean you’ll have to rethink this.

　　然而，如果你通常會(huì)選擇給對(duì)方一個(gè)強(qiáng)有力的握手，那么潛在的職場(chǎng)新規(guī)則意味著你必須重新考慮這一點(diǎn)。

　　Employment expert Kate Palmer, an associate director of advisory at HR consultancy Peninsula, said that in a bid to avoid "grey areas", shaking hands with your fellow employees could be BANNED.

　　人力資源咨詢公司Peninsula咨詢副總監(jiān)、就業(yè)專家凱特?帕爾默(Kate Palmer)表示，為了避免職場(chǎng)“灰色地帶”，可能與同事握手會(huì)被禁止。

　　It comes off the back of the #MeToo movement, with bosses rethinking their policies and heading to a more "black and white" stance.

　　它來(lái)自于“我也是”運(yùn)動(dòng)，老板們重新思考他們的政策，走向一個(gè)更加“黑白分明”的立場(chǎng)。

　　Speaking to the Metro , she said: "Some employers may put a complete ban on physical contact.

　　她在接受《地鐵報(bào)》采訪時(shí)表示:“一些雇主可能會(huì)全面禁止身體接觸。

　　Whether that’s going too far or not is a question I would pose, because it’s contextual.

　　“我想問的是，這是否太過了，因?yàn)檫@需要一定場(chǎng)合的配合。

　　Does shaking someone’s hand go too far?

　　和別人握手是過分的舉止?

　　They may just say ’no contact at all’ because there’s no grey area.

　　“有些人會(huì)說(shuō)‘（和性騷擾）沒有半點(diǎn)關(guān)系’，沒有什么灰色地帶。”

　　The move is not without traction.

　　此舉并非沒有號(hào)召力。

　　According to a recent survey of 2,000 adults on Totaljobs, three out of four were keen for a complete physical contact ban when at work.

　　根據(jù)最近對(duì)2000名從事Totaljobs工作的成年人的調(diào)查，四分之三的人希望在工作時(shí)完全禁止身體接觸。

　　Kate pointed out that gestures such as putting your hand on someone’s back or giving a comforting hug could all fall under the umbrella of being "too personal" and workers should be "mindful" of doing that sort of thing.

　　凱特指出，把手放在別人背上或給對(duì)方一個(gè)安慰的擁抱等手勢(shì)都屬于“過于個(gè)人化”的范疇，員工們應(yīng)該“注意”這種行為。

　　She also added that you’re still "probably" safe to shake hands unless your employer bans it, in which case you must follow the rules.

　　她還補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，除非你的雇主禁止握手，否則你和別人握手“可能”還是安全的，在被禁止的情況下，你必須遵守規(guī)定。

　　It’s not just how you comport yourself in the office which matters either.

　　重要的不僅是你在辦公室里的舉止。

　　Kate warned: "The workplace does extend outside the office. The classic example is the Christmas night out. We get a lot of queries about how to control staff behaviour at events."

　　凱特警告說(shuō):“工作場(chǎng)所的行為的確延伸到了辦公室之外。最典型的例子就是圣誕夜外出聚餐。我們收到了很多關(guān)于如何約束在活動(dòng)中員工行為的問題。”
