Cell Phone Etiquette
手機禮儀你知多少?
Recently on the facebook,Little things matter fans page,I wrote two posts on Cell Phone Etiquette.The comments I received clearly expressed passionate opinions about proper use of cellphone.There was a strong concensus that talking on, text on and email from your cellphone in certain places and at certain times is inappropriate, irritating and downright rude.
最近在臉書小事業重要粉絲頁面我發了兩篇關于手機禮儀的帖子。評論中清楚地表達了他們對于合理使用手機的看法。關于在什么時間什么地點用手機打電話、發短信或者發郵件讓人感到不合適、令人惱火甚至感到對方無禮，人們的觀點相當一致。
I share their opinion.
我理解他們的感受。
If you don’t show respect and common courtesy when using your cell phone, you run the risk of aggravating people and destroying your personal brand. On the other hand, if you use discretion and follow the simple recommendations outlined below, you will be able to enhance the impression you make.
手機禮儀。如果在使用手機時不懂公共場合禮儀，不尊重他人，就有可能會惹惱別人，你的個人形象也會大打折扣。另一方面，如果遵循以下建議并使用恰當，別人對你的印象就會大大加分。
Avoid using your cell phone…
以下場合盡量不用手機：
1.In public places—When you are in public places where others can hear your conversation, you should avoid talking on your cell phone. When your phone rings, let it go into voicemail.
1.公共場所。在公共場所，別人會聽到你的談話內容，此時應該避免打電話。如果有人給你打電話，就讓對方留言。
If you determine it is ABSOLUTELY critical to accept the call, be respectful of others. If possible walk outside or to a private area where others won’t be annoyed or distracted by your conversation. If there is no escaping, then keep your voice down and cover your mouth to keep your voice from traveling and wrap up the call as soon as possible.
如果你覺得某個電話非接不可，也得尊重旁人。如果可以的話，到外面或私人區域去聽電話，這樣就可以避免打擾他人或使他人分心。如果無處可去，那么請降低音量，用手擋住嘴巴以免聲音外傳并盡可能快地結束通話。
2.When spending time with the family—Unless you have a job that requires you to be on call 24 hours a day, be respectful of your family by not talking, texting or e-mailing people when you are together. As an entrepreneur for the last twenty-nine years, I know there will be exceptions. When I do make an exception I always apologize to my family members. Once again, the example we set for our children will pave their way to appropriate and effective behavior.
2.和家人在一起時。除非你的工作要求你24小時隨叫隨到，否則和家人在一起時不要和別人打電話，發短信或發郵件，尊重一下家人。我從過去29年的企業家經歷中知道，例外是無可避免的。當我必須要在家人聚在一起時用電話，我經常會和他們說一聲抱歉。再強調一遍，我們在孩子面前的所作所為將為他們日后成為舉止得體有效的人奠定基礎。
