英文原文
Passage 3
短文3
Communication can essentially be divided into two categories: the written and the spoken. How the balance is struck between these two forms of communication, the point at which one needs to be exchanged for another, really depends on individual cultures. Understanding when it's appropriate to exchange one form for another can be a major key to success in international business.
溝通基本上可以分為兩大類：書面溝通和口頭溝通。如何在這兩種溝通方式之間找到平衡，何時(shí)需要將一種溝通方式轉(zhuǎn)換為另一種，這實(shí)際上取決于不同的文化。了解何時(shí)適合轉(zhuǎn)換溝通方式可能是國(guó)際業(yè)務(wù)成功的關(guān)鍵。
Many cultures place a much greater value on the spoken word than the American working culture does. In parts of the Middle East, you'll find spoken word agreements are seen as rigorously binding. A person's word is linked to their honor, so verbal agreements are seen as important, whereas written contracts are taken as memos of understanding.
許多文化比美國(guó)工作文化更重視口頭語言。在中東的部分地區(qū)，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)口頭協(xié)議被視為具有嚴(yán)格的約束力。一個(gè)人的話與他的榮譽(yù)聯(lián)系在一起，因此口頭協(xié)議被視為很重要，而書面合同則被視為理解備忘錄。
Western working culture tends to place a high value on the written word, and this reaches its highest level of intensity when it comes to contracts. In the US, France, and Germany, written contracts tend to be seen as something that must be strictly carried out. The written contracts are quite so binding that it can prove a challenge to western businesses if your business partner wants to renegotiate terms that you thought were already agreed on.
西方工作文化往往高度重視書面語言，這在合同方面表現(xiàn)得尤為強(qiáng)烈。在美國(guó)、法國(guó)和德國(guó)，書面合同往往被視為必須嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行的。書面合同的約束力如此之強(qiáng)，以至于如果你的商業(yè)伙伴想要重新談判你認(rèn)為已經(jīng)達(dá)成一致的條款，這可能會(huì)給西方企業(yè)帶來挑戰(zhàn)。
For example, a Japanese firm may have signed a contract, but they may not feel bound by every detail of it, particularly if circumstances later change. Such differences in value that different working cultures place on the written word tend to cause many problems when it comes to business relationships.
例如，一家日本公司可能已經(jīng)簽署了合同，但他們可能并不覺得合同的每一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)都具有約束力，特別是如果后來的情況發(fā)生了變化。不同工作文化對(duì)書面語言的不同重視程度，在業(yè)務(wù)關(guān)系中往往會(huì)導(dǎo)致許多問題。
