01 生活起居(4/8)
y allow employees who are not dealing directly with the customers to wear casual attire, including some of the usually non-acceptable items mentioned above.
西方商界对于上班着装的观念比较保守，衣服不能太浮华张扬、太随便、太紧或太暴露。对于女士而言，比较常见的有长裤西服装、齐膝短裙或长裙、衬衫、正装长裤、夹克、高跟鞋和时装鞋这样的着装。而对于男式来说，大家认可的商务着装是西服和领带。公认职业装的颜色是黑色或灰色（暗色调或浅色调），但有些公司采用别的着装颜色，比如蓝色。以下罗列的着装在大多数白领工作场合通常是不被接受的：如牛仔裤、t恤衫、圆领背心、露趾或低帮鞋、平底鞋和运动鞋。然而，现在许多西方公司中都实行周五便装日，他们允许那些不直接接触客户的雇员们身着休闲装，包括上述一些在白领工作场合通常不被接受的服饰。
我为租房忙
dialogue
john wants to rent a satisfactory apartment with a proper rent. but it's not easy.
约翰想租一个租金合理又令人满意的房子，但这并不容易。
hugh: i heard that you have bought a house, is that true?
休：我听说你买房了，是真的吗？
john: oh, i always have the idea, but the house prices have gone through the roof without any sign of reduction these two years. i even can't afford the down payment of a house. i have chosen to rent a house instead of buying one. or else i am going to be mortgage slaves for life.
约翰：哦，我是有那个想法，但是近两年的房价暴涨，而且丝毫没有下降的征兆，我连买房首付都付不起。我已经选择租房了。否则我就要成为终身房奴了。
hugh: have you rent a house?
休：你已经租到房子了吗？
john: no, i have been busy with looking for an apartment lately near our company.
约翰：没有，最近我一直忙着在公司附近寻找套房子。
hugh: that's good. you needn't worry about being late any more for traffic jams.
休：那样很好啊。你再也不用担心因为交通拥堵而迟到了。
john: but i haven't found a satisfactory apartment.
约翰：但是我还没有找到让我满意的房子。
hugh: what kind of house do you have in mind on earth? there are many houses as you required nearby.
休：你到底想找一个什么样的房子？这附近有很多这样的房子啊。
john: i know. but the rental of the houses with furniture and electric appliances is too high. i don't think they deserve that price.
约翰：我知道。但是带家具和电器的房子租金太贵了，我觉得不值那个价钱。
hugh: how much is the rent?
休：租金多少？
john: 2000 yuan per month.
约翰：一个月2000元。
hugh: hmmm…indeed a little high. but the houses downtown are always expensive.
