Common phrases

JAMES:  Good morning, Professor Austin, how are you doing?
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Good morning, James. I am doing well. And you?
JAMES: I’m great, thank you. This is my friend Emma. She 
is thinking about applying to this college. She has a 
few questions. Would you mind telling us about the 
process, please?
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Hello, Emma! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m more 
than happy to speak with you. Please stop by my office 
next week.

much for helping us.

LANGUAGE NOTES
• The greetings good morning/good afternoon/good evening are used at different times 
of the day to greet people. “Good evening” is often used after 6 p.m. or generally when 
the sun has set.
• “Good night” is not a greeting: It is used when leaving a place or group of people. 
Thank you and good night!/Good night, and see you tomorrow.
• When people meet in the United States, it is customary for them to shake hands. A 
handshake should be firm and usually lasts for about two to three seconds — which 
allows enough time to say “Nice to meet you.”
• “Don’t mention it” is another way of saying “You’re welcome.” The phrase “You are 
welcome” is more formal. However, responses such as Don’t mention it./No problem./
Happy to help. are informal ways of responding to a thank you.

大家好 欢迎来到我的播客 今天聊什么
今天我们聊一聊，睡午觉！
睡午觉就是中午的时候睡觉，一般睡很短的时间，比如睡30分钟、睡15分钟
你有没有睡午觉的习惯呢？很多中国人都有睡午觉的习惯。
如果你问一个在美国公司工作的中国人：“工作当中最不适应的地方是什么？”
很多人可能会想到文化差异、语言、思维方式（想问题的方式）等等常见的话题。其实，首先让他们不习惯的是：中午不方便睡觉

不同的办公室文化，是因为每个国家都有不同历史文化传统。对讲求个人空间和隐私的美国人来说，在办公室呼呼大睡，是非常不合适的。这时候，人们一般会喝一杯咖啡。

午睡、睡午觉在美国办公室文化中很少见到，但科学家开始研究午睡对午餐后困倦(post-lunch dip)的作用。睡眠专家David Dinges指出，在办公室、工厂和别的工作环境，人们在吃午饭以后的时段比别的上班时间更容易犯错误。也有科学家说，60分钟到90分钟的午睡，可以提高你的记忆力。

睡午觉，是为了下午工作更好，更有精神；不睡午觉，是为了有时间做更多事。不同国家，有不同的办公室文化。欢迎你跟我上课讨论，你们国家的办公室文化。今天的播客就到这里，下次再见
