J：John A：Ariel The next day, John and Ariel meet at the office. J：Since we' ll also be meeting Japanese representatives, I went ahead and did some research on their customs. A：So, what did you find？ J：I read that it' s very bad manners to be late in Japan. A：That' s right, and when you give out your business card, you should offer it with both hands. I made that mistake the last time I was in Japan. J：What happened after？ A：Luckily, my client later reminded me about that, and he understood I wasn' t trying to be rude.
隔天，约翰和爱莉儿相约在办公室。 约 翰：由于我们也会和日本代表会面，所以我就著手研究一些他们的风俗习惯。 爱莉儿：所以，你得出了什么？ 约 翰：我读到在日本，迟到是非常不礼貌的行为。 爱莉儿：没错，还有在递名片时，你应该用双手呈上。我上次在日本时就犯了这个错。 约 翰：那之后发生了什么事？ 爱莉儿：很幸运地，我的客户后来提醒了我这件事，他也理解我并不是故意失礼的。
