Say instead: “I’m so sorry I have to leave right now. I’ll be available again at 7:30, and I’ll call to check in. Please, keep me posted, and I’ll catch up as soon as I can.”

应该这样说：“对不起我现在必须离开了，7点30分的时候我能腾出时间然后再打电话回来报告。若有任何消息请通知我，我会尽快赶上进度的。”

6. When referring to colleagues

6.当提到同事的时候

Don’t say: “My boyfriend Pedro in IT just fixed my email, it’s working great now!”

不能这样说：“我的IT部门男朋友Pedro刚刚帮我解决了电子邮件的问题，现在运行得非常顺畅!”

Why it’s a problem: Of course it’s not a Don Draper–level offense: You, Pedro and everyone else knows that he’s not actually your boyfriend, but when you refer to him like that, you’re downgrading his professionalism, and your own.

问题出现在哪里：当然这不是唐·德雷柏级别的冒犯。你，Pedro还有其他人都知道他并不是你的男朋友，但当你这么称呼他的时候，你正在降低他的专业性，还有你自己的专业性。

Say instead: “Pedro did such an amazing job fixing my email that I’m letting his boss know he’s a rock star.”

应该这么说：“Pedro工作真出色，他把我的电子邮件问题解决了，我要告诉他的老板他真的很棒!”
