这种尊严同时体现在对公司销售人员的要求上，销售人员必须举止得体、彬彬有礼，正如波尔顿著名的训练员工的备忘录里所说：既不要像收税官那样不苟言笑，也不能像算命先生一样油腔滑调……
zhèzhǒng zūnyán tóngshí tǐxiàn zài duì gōngsī xiāoshòu rényuán de yāoqiú shàng ，xiāoshòu rényuán bìxū jǔzhǐ détǐ 、bīnbīnyǒulǐ ，zhèngrú bōěrdùn zhùmíng de xùnliàn yuángōng de bèiwànglù lǐ suǒshuō ：jì bùyào xiàng shōushuìguān nàyàng bùgǒuyánxiào ，yě bùnéng xiàng suànmìngxiānsheng yīyàng yóuqiānghuádiào ……
This dignity is also reflected in the demands on the company’s sales staff. Each salesperson must behave well and be polite, as Bolton’s famous staff training memo says: “Don’t be as frightful as the tax collector, or as slippery as a fortune-teller."

淮海中路肯定要去的。以前是以一个法国将军的名字命名的，叫“霞飞路”。是全上海公认的最美丽、最摩登、最有腔调的一条街。比南京路更有品位，更上档次。你要买名牌买奢侈品的话，淮海中路堪比巴黎。

这节目不挺好看的吗？上面全都是外国人，比赛谁的中国话说得好。你别说，有几个说得还挺顺溜的，虽然有点洋腔洋调，但能说到这水平太不容易了。这得费多大的劲儿啊？看你爸这么大年纪了，还肉弱不分，一口的家乡话，到现在还改不过来。

Isn't this show great? Everyone on it is a foreigner and they compete to see whose Chinese is the best. Actually, some of them speak quite fluently. Although it's a bit accented, being able to speak at this level is really not easy. Do you know how much effort you have to put in? Look at your old father. He still can't differentiate "meat" and "weak;" he speaks purely dialect. There's no changing it at this point.
