出差日本須知

通知內(nèi)容：

出差在外應(yīng)入鄉(xiāng)隨俗，那么，去日本有哪些要注意的呢？

“一般性文化注意事項”(General Cultural Tips)有6項：

（1） When entering a

Japanese home it is customary to remove shoes and position them facing the

door. Follow your host's example （進日本人家里的時候，一般來說要脫鞋，將鞋尖對著門口的方向，可模仿主人的動作）。

（2） Most Japanese people

avoid direct eye contact during conversations（大部分日本人在談話間避免與對方目光對視）。

（3）If using chopsticks。

avoid using them to point at someone and do not leave them sticking up in a

bowl of rice（使用筷子吃飯時，不要用筷子指人，也不要把筷子插在米飯碗里）。

（4）Only ask people about

their spouse or children if you are sure your conversational partner is

married/has children. Asking unmarried people about a spouse or childless

people about children may embarrass a Japanese person（在于日本人交談時，只有你肯定對方已經(jīng)結(jié)婚并有孩子的情況下才可問及對方的配偶和孩子。如果向沒有結(jié)婚或沒有生育的人問侯配偶和孩子會讓日 本人感到尷尬）。

（5）It is customary to

bring chocolate, cookies or cakes when invited to a Japanese home.

Purchasing them in a department store where they will be wrapped is

recommended（如果被邀請到日本人家做客，一般可以帶巧克力、餅干或者糕點作為禮物。最好在大型超市購買禮物，并且包裝）。

（6）The Japanese do not

usually open gifts when they are presented（給日本人送禮時，日本人一般不會當(dāng)面拆開禮物）。

“商務(wù)文化注意事項”(Business Cultural Tips)有8項：

（1）The Japanese are

accustomed to shaking hands upon greeting, though bowing is traditional and

sometimes used as well. If your are bowed to, return the gesture by bowing

either to the same depth or lower - the depth of your bow is indicative of

the status relationship between you and your counterpart（鞠躬是日本人見面打招呼的傳統(tǒng)習(xí)慣，但也習(xí)慣于握手。如果對方向你鞠躬，你也要向?qū)Ψ骄瞎疃葢?yīng)與對方相當(dāng)或者稍微深一些—— 因為鞠躬的深度標(biāo)志著你與對方在地位上的差別）。

（2）Consider using the

honorific suffix san when addressing people when introduced: Mr. or Ms.

Yamada can be addressed as Yamada-san（與日本人見面時使用敬體，比如與山田先生或者山田女生見面時應(yīng)該稱對方為“山田桑”）。

（3）Business cards are usually

exchanged upon introductions. It is advisable to have yours printed in both

English and Japanese. Use both hands to both present and receive cards.

Read the card carefully before putting it away（在第一次見面互相介紹時遞上名片，名片最好是用日語和英語雙語。注意要用雙手遞，也用雙手接名片。接到名片后認真閱讀以后，小心翼翼地收好）。

（4）Make business

appointments in advance and be punctual（上午約會一定要提前確定，準(zhǔn)時抵達）。

（5）Entertainment is an

important part of business arrangements and usually takes place after

business hours at a bar or restaurant. Although business may be discussed。

these outings are primarily occasions for building friendships（娛樂是商務(wù)交往中的重要內(nèi)容，一般是在下班時間去酒吧或者餐館。在這種場合雖然也可能涉及商務(wù)，但主要是建立友好關(guān)系）。

（6）Business dress is

formal and conservative. Men should wear a suit and women should wear

either a dress or a suit（商務(wù)穿著偏正式和保守。男人穿西服，女人也要著套裝）。

（7）Business gifts are very

important in Japan. The gifts should always be wrapped and are often

presented at first business
