閱讀試題

　　Soldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indicate their status.But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits，and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another.So how do people in the business world show their superiority? An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films.They had two actors play the parts of an executive(經(jīng)理)and a visitor，and switch roles each time.The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of an executive，while the other，playing the part of a visitor，knocks at the door，opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter.

　　The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status.A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings.The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated man.He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk，and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front Of the seated executive.

　　Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and entering.For the seated executive，his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answering.The quicker the visitor entered the room，the more status he had.The longer the executive took to answer，the more status he had.

參考翻譯

　　士兵和其他軍隊中的人都要穿制服，并且衣服上有各種各樣的標(biāo)志來表明他們的身份地位。但是在商業(yè)的世界中，幾乎每個人都穿的差不多一樣的衣服。乍看之下，很難分出身份地位的高低。那么,在商界,人們?nèi)绻砻髯约焊呷艘坏饶?

　　2個研究者通過一系列的默劇對此進行嘗試和研究。劇中只有2個演員，分飾經(jīng)理和拜訪者的角色，每次兩人都要交換角色。劇中演的是經(jīng)理坐在辦公桌旁邊辦公，來訪者敲門，推開門，往辦公桌走去，和經(jīng)理討論業(yè)務(wù)上的事情。

　　觀看的觀眾被要求說出經(jīng)理和拜訪者的地位孰高孰低。從觀眾的意見總結(jié)出一套地位的歸路。當(dāng)拜訪者站在剛進門的地方，遠遠的穿過整個房間和經(jīng)理說話，表明來訪者的地位最低。當(dāng)拜訪者站在門和桌子的中間時，地位較高;當(dāng)他徑直走到桌子旁邊站在經(jīng)理前面時，地位最高。

　　在觀眾眼中，另一個影響拜訪者地位的事情是他敲門和進房間之間的時間間隔。對于坐在那里的經(jīng)理來說，他的地位受聽到敲門和應(yīng)答的時間間隔的影響。拜訪者越早的進入房間，他的地位就越高。

　　經(jīng)理越遲應(yīng)答敲門聲，他的地位越高。
