一天，一家大公司的老板注意到一個(gè)新來的雇員，于是把他叫到辦公室來。
"What is your name?" was the first thing the bossasked the new guy.
“你叫什么名字?”老板先問道。
"John," the new guy replied.
“約翰，”新來的答道。
The boss scowled, "Look, I don't mind what kind of a place you worked at before, but I don'tcall anyone by their first name! It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown inauthority."
老板皺著眉頭說：“聽著，我不管你以前在什么樣的地方工作，可是我們這不會(huì)用名字稱呼一個(gè)人!那樣叫法是會(huì)有親切感，但是會(huì)導(dǎo)致權(quán)威的喪失。”
"I refer to my employees by their last name only--Smith, James, Henry--that's all."

The new guy sighed and said, "Darling. My name is John Darling."
新來的嘆了一口氣說：“我姓達(dá)林。我叫約翰·達(dá)林。”
"Okay, John, the next thing I want to tell you is..."
“好吧，約翰，下面我要說的是……”
