Here are 5 phrases that should be banned from the office. Have you said these words?
以下5句话是绝不能在办公室讲的，你曾经说过这些话吗？
1. “It’s not fair.”
“这不公平。”
In fact, you will always find that there are unfair things happen every day.
事实上，你会发现不公平每天都会发生。
Just like your colleague got a raise, you didn’t.
就像是你的同事加薪了，你却没有。
The only way to avoide it is to solve the issues. Complaining passively is useless.
唯一避免不公平的办法只有积极解决问题，抱怨无济于事。
What makes you better is to impeove yourself.
只有提升才会促你前进。
2.“I don’t have time for this right now,” or “I’m too busy.”
“我现在没有时间”或“我要忙死了”
Even if these statements are true, no one wants to feel less important than something or someone else.
就算你说的都是事实，也没人愿意觉得自己还不如其他事或其他人重要。
You may say: I’d be happy to discuss this with you after my morning meetings. May I stop by your office around 1pm?”
你应该说：“我早上开完会后就有空跟你讨论这个问题了，下午1点左右我去你办公室怎么样？”
3. “That’s impossible!”
“那不可能！”
When you say these negative phrases, your words convey a pessimistic, passive, even hopeless outlook. This approach is seldom valued in the workplace.
当你说出这种消极的话时，说明你为人消极悲观甚或决绝，这是职场大忌。
Instead, try something like, “I’ll be glad to check on it again,” “Let’s discuss what’s possible under these circumstances,” or, “What I can do is this.”
你应该说“我最好再检查一遍吧”、“让我们看看这种情况下还能有什么办法”或“我能做些什么”。
4. “That’s not my problem,” or “That’s not my job.”
“那不是我的问题”或者“那不是我的工作”。
This must be the worest reaction in you company.
这是职场中最糟糕的回答了。
Your boss will think that you are lacking of good team-spirit and even want to fire you.
你的上司会觉得你没有良好的团队精神，甚至会想开除你。
Meanwhile, this doesn’t mean you have to say yes; it does mean you need to be articulate and thoughtful when saying no.
但同时，这并不是要你有求必应；只是告诉你三思之后再拒绝。
For example, if your boss issues an unreasonable request, rather than saying, ‘You're kidding! I don’t get paid enough for this,’ instead say, ‘I’ll be glad to help. Given my current tasks of A, B, and C, which one of these shall I place on hold while I work on this new assignment?’
比如说，如果你的上司提出了不合理的要求，不要说“开什么玩笑，这根本就不是我的分内之事。”，更高明的说法是“我很愿意帮忙，但我手上还有A、B、C等任务，哪个任务可以暂放一放，以便完成这项新任务呢？”
5. “He’s a jerk,” or “She’s lazy,” or “My job stinks,” or “I hate this company.”
“他是个傻瓜”，“她很懒”，“我的工作真糟糕”或“我讨厌这家公司”。
Avoid making unkind, judgmental statements that will inevitably reflect poorly on you.
不要恶意评价你的同事，否则最后只能自己吃苦。
If you have a genuine complaint about someone or something, communicate the issue with tact, consideration and neutrality.
如果你确实对某人或某事有意见，还是老练、细致并中立地沟通解决吧。
As is often the case with bad habits, we are unconscious of the fact we’re saying career-limiting words and phrases.
坏习惯总是不自觉的，我们有时并不能意识到事实上我们说的话会危及到工作。
These are common phrases that might be difficult to eliminate completely, but the trick is to gain awareness of the language you’re using.
这些常见的话语可能一时难以完全改正，但是你可以加强防范，随时留意自己所讲的话。
