嘿，Lindsay。

Hey, Lindsay.

你今天过得怎么样？

How are you doing today?

今天很不错，Aubrey。

Doing great today, Aubrey.

你呢？

How about you?

有什么新鲜事吗？

What's new?

非常好。

Excellent.

我有个问题想问你。

I have a question for you.

好。

Okay.

我们在播客里之前提到过时区和夏令时，这对住在亚利桑那州的我来说很棘手，因为我们那里不实行夏令时，这反而让我们的时间更难协调。

We have mentioned on the podcast before about time zones and daylight savings time being tricky for me living in Arizona, where we don't observe daylight savings time, and it actually throws us off more.

是的。

Yes.

但是说到时区，你最受不了的是什么？

But what is your biggest pet peeve when it comes to time zones?

我最受不了的是有人发邮件说“我们上午十点见面吧”，你懂吧？

My biggest pet peeve is when people email, and they just say, "Let's meet at 10:00 a.m." Right?

因为我不跟任何人一起工作——

Because I don't work with anyone-

按你的时间还是我的时间？

Your time or my time?

我合作的人都不在我所在的时区，所以从来说不上是我的时间，对吧？

I don't work with anyone in my own time zone, so it's never my time, right?

我们现在跟邻居打交道已经不可能了，朋友们。

We're not talking to the person next door to us anymore, unfortunately, guys.

我们是在跟全世界的人做生意。遇到这种情况我就特别恼火，因为我还得回邮件，浪费时间问一句"是哪个时区？"

We're doing business with people around the world, and that just fires me up when people do that because it causes me to reply and waste time and say, "In which time zone?"

他们本来可以提前想到这个问题。

When they could've anticipated that question ahead of time.

我觉得这反映出他们没怎么考虑对方。

Because I think it shows a lack of thought about the other person.

这就是我最烦的事情。

That's my pet peeve.

有意思，因为他们可能习惯了跟住在附近的人合作。

It's interesting because they may be in more of a habit of working with people who live near them.

所以他们可能没怎么考虑过这个问题，但如果你是在和不住你附近的人交流，我们就得多为对方着想，对吧？

So they haven't had to think about it a lot, but if you're talking to anyone else who doesn't live right by you, we have to be thoughtful about this, right?

把它也写出来——

To share it-

对

Yes

……可能同时写出我们和他们所在的时区，或者至少说清楚我们指的是哪个时区。

... maybe in our time zone and theirs, or at least be clear about which time zone we're referring to.

没错。

Correct.

是的，我也觉得这个挺头疼的。

Yes, I struggle with that as well.

对。

Yes.

我之前提到过，有些地方不实行夏令时，那就很麻烦，你还得琢磨着跟世界各地谁的时间对得上。

I mentioned it's frustrating when some places don't observe daylight savings time, and then you have to figure out who you match with around the world.

唉。

Ugh.

我最近才发现，因为我们团队有个人住的地方，夏令时的调整日期不一样。

And I just recently discovered, because one of our team members lives somewhere where daylight savings time changes on a different date.

是的。

Yes.

他那边是十月份调整，而我们这边要到十一月一号。

It changes in October, and here, it's not until November 1st.

这确实很麻烦。

So that's really tricky too.

对任何在全球工作的人来说，你不仅要知道对方在哪个时区，还要知道他们那里夏令时什么时候变。

For anyone who works globally, you have to know not only what time zone they're in, but when daylight savings time is changing, when does it change where they live?

天哪。

Oh my gosh.

为什么我们就不能都用同一个日历呢，对吧？

Why can't we all just be on the same calendar, right?

确实很多。

It's a lot.

那真是太棒了。

That would be so nice.

事情太多了。

There's a lot going on.

是的，Aubrey，今天这个话题真的很重要，因为现在基本上我们都在跨时区工作。

Yeah, but this is such an important topic today, Aubrey, because we are pretty much all now working across time zones.

正是如此。

Exactly.

而我们这样做的时候，需要记住一些事情。

And there are certain things we need to keep in mind when we do that.

对。

Yes.

所以我们今天要给大家提供必备的短语和策略，让你们能够异步工作，我们会先解释一下这是什么意思——

So we are today giving you the phrases you need and strategies to be able to work async, we'll talk about what that means-

……还有如何清楚地交接工作，以及如何与那些生活在不同时区、不常见面的人保持紧密的联系。

... and how to hand off work clearly and how to keep those connections strong with people that live in different time zones that you don't see often.

对。

Yes.

各位，在节目继续之前，我想提醒大家，目前，仅限这一周，我们的商务英语特别课程正在特价促销，最高可优惠100美元。

Guys, before we get any further into the episode, I want to remind you that currently, this week only, our special Business English course is available for a special price, up to $100 off.

但是，Aubrey，这里有什么条件吗？

But Aubrey, what's the catch here?

这里有个时间限制和截止日期。

There's a timeline and a deadline here.

嗯，今天的话题不就是和时间有关嘛，对吧？

Well, it's all about time today, right?

是的。

Yes.

优惠100美元，最高可优惠100美元，直到11月1日星期日午夜，美国时间，对吧？

It's $100 off, up to $100 off, until Sunday, November 1st, at midnight, US time, right?

纽约时间午夜。

Midnight, New York time.

所以你得算一下，在你那边这对应的是什么时间。

So you'll have to calculate what time is that where you live.

我知道。

I know.

有点让人困惑，但为了省下高达100美元，这很值，而且这次我们还会做些新的特别的事情。

A little confusing, but it's worth it to save up to $100, and we're doing something new and special this time.

我们会为加入的学生提供一个免费的直播启动工作坊，让学员能和我们一起通话，从一开始就走上正轨，让你集中精力，让你和社区建立联系，并且让你朝着正确的方向前进。

We're going to be offering a free live kickoff workshop for students that do join to be able to come on the call with us and get started on the right foot, get you focused, get you connected with the community, and get you moving in the right direction.

这可是责任担当入门啊，Aubrey。

This is Accountability 101 here, Aubrey.

对。

Yes.

这一定会非常刺激的。

This is going to be really exciting.

我们特别喜欢现场活动。

We love our live events.

这是激发动力、真正提升流利度的绝佳方式。

It's such a great way to get motivated to really boost your fluency.

所以你现在就去 allearsenglish.com/business-

So you go right now to allearsenglish.com/business-

对

Yes

...报名这门课程。

... to sign up for the course.

好的。

All right.

太棒了。

Good stuff.

好，你刚才提到了一个有趣的词，我觉得现在挺流行的。

All right, so you mentioned an interesting word that I feel like is trending now a little bit.

我也是最近才第一次听到这个词，大概是在……

I only just heard this word for the first time maybe-

我也是。

Same

……六年前，七八年前，对吧？

... six years ago, seven, eight years ago, right?

异步。

Async.

那是什么意思？

What does that mean?

是“异步”的缩写。

It's short for asynchronous.

意思是在不同的时间。

So this means at different times.

所以那些工作时间不同、实时沟通很少的员工，对吧？

So employees that work different hours and have little real-time communication, right?

因为如果你不是在等即时回复的话——

There's no expectation of an immediate response because if you're-

比如说发邮件，可能对方那边是凌晨两点，对吧？

... sending an email, it could be 2:00 a.m. their time, right?

很多时候，你们的工作时间完全不一样。

Often, your working hours are totally different.

没错。

Exactly.

这其实很像我们All Ears English团队的工作方式，对吧？

And this is a lot of what our team looks like here at All Ears English, right?

我们在菲律宾有很棒的团队成员，遗憾的是，我们很少能和他们实时通话，所以我们都是异步工作的。

We have our wonderful teammates in the Philippines, and we don't have a lot of live time, unfortunately, with them on calls, but so we're working async.

我们睡觉的时候，他们在工作；他们睡觉的时候，我们在工作，对吧？

When we're sleeping, they're working, and when they're sleeping, we're working, right?

这就是异步工作。

So that is async.

对。

Yes.

是的，而且很多正在收听的朋友可能也处在类似的情况中。

Yes, and a lot of you listening are probably in a similar situation.

现在商业世界真的很全球化，或者你可能只是有朋友、家人住在——

The business world is so global now, or you may just have friends, family who lives-

——世界的另一边。

... across the world.

但在工作方面，特别重要的是我们要注意时区要明确，尊重他人的时间。

But when it comes to working, this is especially important that we're careful about being clear with time zones, being respectful about other people's time.

所以，是的，我们来看一些用于异步工作的短语。

So yeah, let's dive in with some phrases, first of all, for working async.

好的，Aubrey，这是我们喜欢的第一句好用的短语。

All right, Aubrey, so here's the first great phrase that we love.

我们需要那些词语，对吧？

We do need the words, right?

为了表明你意识到你们俩不在同一个时区工作。

To make it clear that you have the awareness that you're not both working in the same time zone.

这对职业关系很有帮助，你觉得呢？

This goes a long way for professional rapport, don't you think?

是的，完全正确。

Yes, absolutely, right.

所以第一个是，“我会在我这边的早上处理。”

So the first one is, "I'll pick this up in my morning."

对。

Yes.

或者，“我这边的一天结束时。”

Or, "End of day my time."

所以你不需要具体说明是几点。

So you don't have to give specifics about what time that is.

只要你明确指的是你的时间，这就完全没问题。

As long as you're being clear that you're referring to your time, this works perfectly.

对，正是这样。

Yes, exactly.

然后还可以说类似“我上线后再看”这样的话，对吧？

And then saying things like, "I'll take a look when I'm back online," right?

因为也许你碰巧看了工作邮件，但那时是你那边晚上九点，你并没有在工作。

Because maybe you happen to check your work email, but it's 9:00 PM your time, and you're not working.

让对方知道你收到了邮件，知道这事很重要，而且你会在工作的时候再处理它。

Giving people the awareness maybe that you've received the email, it's something important, and that you'll be back to it when you're working.

就是提醒别人你处于不同的时间段，对吧。

Just reminding people that you're in a different place, right, in your day.

没错。

Exactly.

非常重要。

Super important.

这样他们就知道，你可能要过好几个小时才能真正处理它。

So they know it might be several hours before you can really do anything about it.

是的，完全正确。

Yes, absolutely.

或者说，“我明天一早就继续处理这件事”，对吧？

Or, "I'll continue with this first thing tomorrow my time," right?

这样就是让对方知道，如果他们需要立即回复或者马上有人跟进，就得联系别人了。

So you're just letting someone know if they need an immediate response, immediate eye on it, they're going to need to reach out to someone else.

那奥布里，我们怎么把这个说法变得更正式一些呢？

And how would we make that a little bit more formal, Aubrey?

你可以说：“我会在我下一个工作时段继续处理这件事。”

You could say, "I'll resume this during my next working block."

对，这种说法更正式一些，但意思是一样的。

So yeah, that is a little more formal way of speaking, means the same thing.

是的，或者你也可以说：“我一回到办公桌前就跟进。”

Yeah, or you could say, "I'll follow up once I'm back at my desk."

这些都是表达同一个意思的方式，但你需要根据你们的关系以及是否需要正式或随意来选择合适的说法。

These are all ways of saying the exact same thing, but you need to know the relationship and the need for formality or just lack of formality.

我们能有多随意呢？

How casual can we be?

那是另一个话题，改天再说。

That's a separate topic for another day.

没错，而且平台也得考虑，对吧？

Exactly, and what's the platform, right?

Slack消息通常更随意。

Slack messages are more informal.

邮件虽然也比较随意，但相比起来会更正式一些，对吧？

Email's still pretty informal, but a little more formal, right?

所以这也是需要考虑的一点，用的是什么平台？

And so that's another thing to take into account, what is the platform?

消息发到哪儿？

Where is the message being sent?

是的，确实如此。

Yeah, it's so true.

那下一项异步工作是什么，奥布里？

And then the next piece of asynchronous work is what, Aubrey?

当我们跨时区协作时，经常做的某件事是什么？

What is something that we're frequently doing when we're working-

……在全球各地工作时？

... across the globe?

对，就是把工作交接清楚，对吧？

Yeah, it's handing work off clearly, right?

所以如果有人在你睡觉的时候接手……

So if someone's going to pick it up while you sleep-

……你需要明确这是他们的责任了，或者接下来该怎么做。

... you need to be clear about that that's their responsibility now, or maybe what next steps are.

所以，当下一步不明确或者不需要明确时，会有不同的说法。

So there are different phrases when next steps aren't clear or don't need to be clear.

好。

Okay.

我们先在这里分享这些。

We'll share those first here.

好的，你可以这样说：“我把我的更新放在这里了。

Okay, so you could say something like, "I've left my updates here.

你可以继续推进，我上线后再跟进。”

Feel free to keep things moving, and I'll catch up when I'm back online."

这种情况下，你不需要让他们回到正轨。

So this is where you don't need to get them on track.

你说过他们不需要下一步的指示。

You said they don't need next steps.

没错，对。

Exactly, right.

这里稍微灵活一些，对吧？

It's a little more fluid here, right?

你们是在协作完成某件事。

You're working collaboratively on something.

可能你并不确定他们接下来会做什么，因为——

Maybe you're not sure exactly what they will do next because-

……这取决于他们自己怎么处理，对吧？

... it's up to them to figure that out, right?

或者你可以说：“我不在的时候，这个就交给你来接手。”

Or you might say, "I'll leave this with you to pick up while I'm offline."

所以这更像是一个总体上的交接，让对方知道你已经完成了，今天要下线了，然后——

So this is a little more of a general handoff, where you're letting them know you're done, you're signing off for the day, and it's-

……就由他们来接着干。

... up to them to take over.

对，而且下一句，“我不在的时候，你尽管放手去做”，真的感觉像是把创作主动权交给了他们，对吧？

Yeah, and this next phrase, "Feel free to run with this while I'm away," feels really like you're giving them creative control, right?

而且你是在信任他们。

And you're in a trust.

对，我特别喜欢这句话，“放手去做”。

Yeah, I love this phrase, run with this.

就是说——

It's just like-

你该怎么做就怎么做。

... do what you're going to do.

放手去做吧。

Do your thing.

对。

Yep.

放手去做吧。

Do your thing.

然后我们还有一些表达，用于当接下来的步骤确实需要更明确的时候，对吧？

And then we also have phrases when next steps do need to be a little more clear, right?

如果你在交接工作，需要告诉对方你目前的进展和接下来该做什么。

If you're handing off work, and you need to share where you're at and what would come next.

比如说，你可能会说：“下一步是审阅草稿，并分享任何反馈。”

So for example, you might say, "The next step is to review the draft and share any feedback.

你能在我离线的时候处理一下吗？

Can you take care of that while I'm offline?"

或者你可以说：“我已经完成了X，剩下的就是Y。”

Or you could say, "I've completed X, and then Y is the remaining piece."

所以关键是让你的同事或合作伙伴明确方向，这样他们就不会浪费时间。

So really orienting your coworker, your colleague, to the right place so they're not wasting time.

想象一下，如果你去上班，有人就留下这样一份工作，你不知道该做什么或者从哪里开始，那是不是很让人心烦？

I would imagine it would be really distressing if you show up for work, and someone has just left this piece of work, and you don't know what you're supposed to do or where you're supposed to start, right?

那可能会让人压力很大——

That could be very stressful-

对同事来说。

... for a coworker.

尤其是如果你已经弄清楚了接下来需要做什么。

Especially if you have figured out what needs to come next.

那可能花了不少时间。

That probably took you some time.

是的。

Yes.

你不想让他们白费功夫重新做一遍。

You don't want to make them reinvent the wheel.

我的天哪。

Oh my gosh.

你能告诉他们的所有信息，让他们能直接接着你留下的工作继续做，知道下一步该干什么，这都能节省时间。

Everything that you can tell them so that they can pick right up where you left off and know what to do next is going to save time.

而且考虑到我们现在所处的2026年，我们会被评判的。

And keeping in mind where we are now in 2026, so we're going to be judged.

我们的一部分专业评估将取决于我们在全球范围内异步协作的能力，对吧？

Part of our professional evaluations are going to be based on how well we can work async across the globe, right?

完全同意。

Absolutely.

我们与接手我们工作的人沟通得怎么样？

How well are we communicating with who's picking up the work after us?

对，就是这样。

Exactly.

接下来我们要聊的是，怎么和你没法实时见面的队友保持联系，对吧？

And the next thing we want to talk about is how to keep that connection with teammates that you don't see live, right?

你们从来不在同一时间工作。

You don't ever work at the same time.

要让这种异步沟通感觉像人与人之间的关系，而不只是任务交换，确实挺难的。

This is tricky to make these async communications feel like a relationship still between people, not just an exchange of tasks.

是的，我觉得这句话说得非常好。

Yeah, and I feel like this kind of sums it up really nicely.

我们必须持续传递一致的信息。

We have to send consistent signals.

我们要让他们知道我们了解他们，重视他们做的工作，而且我们是并肩作战的。

We want to show them that we know them, we value the work they're doing, and that we're doing this together.

他们不是孤零零地在那里独自完成任务。

They are not just on their own over there in wherever they are doing the work.

我们是在一起的。

We're together.

我们是在共同创造一些东西。

We're co-creating something.

没错，而且要做到这一点，不需要开更多的会。

Exactly, and you don't need more meetings to do that.

你需要的是更多的人性化——

You need more human-

……那些——

... moments that are-

……融入你现在已经在做的工作中的瞬间。

... woven into the work that you are already doing.

那在进入今天的这些技巧之前，我先说一下，我喜欢用Loom来做这件事。

And I will just start, before we get into some of these tips today, one of the ways I like to do this is by using Loom.

而且不一定非要用Loom。

And it doesn't have to be Loom.

可以是用任何方式录个视频。

It could be any way of recording a video.

用什么牌子的工具不重要。

It doesn't matter what brand tool you use.

录个视频，而不是把这些东西写下来。你可以开个视频，共享屏幕，跟他们解释，因为这样他们能听到你的声音。

Recording a video, instead of actually writing these things, you could get on a video and screen share and explain to them, because that way they hear your voice.

这取决于你们公司的氛围有多随意，规模有多小。

And it depends on how casual your company is, how small your company is.

我们公司很小，我喜欢这样做，只是为了保持联系。但听到别人的声音有特别的感觉，

We're a very small company, and I like to do this just to stay in touch, but there's something special about hearing someone's voice-

当然。

Absolutely

...而不是只看到邮件里写着的文字。

... rather than just seeing the words written in an email.

对，这正好带出我们的第一个建议，就是要从人情味开始。

Yeah, that leads us right into our first tip here, which is to start with the human touch.

而且，就像你说的，发一封带语音、口头说明的邮件，比在邮件里写出来更有人的温度。

And part of that is, like you said, just sending an email that has your voice, spoken instructions, is more of a human touch than writing it out in an email.

另外，不要一上来就直奔任务——

And also, instead of jumping straight into tasks-

你可以先加点关于自己的话题，或者问问对方的情况，对吧？

... you can add a little context about yourself or find out about theirs, right?

比如在邮件或Slack里，第一句话可以是“希望你这一周有个好的开始”，或者——

If email or Slack, for example, your first message, "Hope your week's off to a good start," or-

“周一快乐。”

... "Happy Monday."

就是那种，体现双方都是人的话。

Just something that acknowledges that you're both human.

没错。

For sure.

Aubrey，你平时会说“周三快乐”或“周四快乐”吗？还是只说“周一快乐”或“周五快乐”？

Aubrey, do you ever say, "Happy Wednesday" or "Happy Thursday," or is it always just "Happy Monday" or "Happy Friday?"

比如说——

Like what-

我一般更常说“周一快乐”。

Happy Monday is more common for me.

然后如果是——

And then if it's-

好的

Okay

周三或周四的话，可能会更常说“希望你这一周都顺利”。

... Wednesday or Thursday, it probably would be something more like, "Hope your week's going well."

好的。

Okay.

“今天过得怎么样？”

"How's your day going?"

差不多这样。

Something like that.

明白了。

Got it.

好的，知道了。

Okay, good to know.

我们可以改天再聊这个，但是——

We can get into this another day, but-

但你也可以聊啊。

But you could.

周四快乐，何乐而不为呢？

Happy Thursday, why not?

是啊，为什么不呢？

Why not?

又没有规定说不可以。

There's no rule against it, so.

当然，在面对面开会时，就像我们说的，会问‘你这周过得怎么样？’

Of course, in a face-to-face meeting, yeah, like we said, "How's your week going?"

但我们说的不是这种，我们说的是异步会议。

But we don't do these, we're talking about async meetings.

所以再说一遍，除了直接谈正事，你能加哪些温馨的小细节？

So again, what are the little nice personal touches you can add instead of going right into business?

当然了——

And of course-

……如果你录视频的话，也可以口头说同样的话。

... you can do the same verbally if you're recording a video.

“嘿，希望你这一周过得不错。

"Hey, hope your week's going well.

我想给你录个短视频，让你看看我这几个小时做了什么，也告诉你接下来该从哪里接着做。”

I wanted to give you a quick video to show you what I've done in the last few hours and let you know where you can pick this back up."

对，就是这样。

Yeah, exactly.

所以那些你在面对面会议里会做的事，在这些消息、邮件里也能做。

So those same things you would do in face-to-face meetings, you can do them in these messages, in your emails.

加点人情味，对吧？

Add a little bit of human touch, right?

第二点，让你的异步交接显得更有人情味。

And second here, make your async handoffs feel personal.

尽量别让它们显得——

Try to avoid making them-

对

Yes

——太公事公办，对吧？

... feel transactional, right?

你不想打个字说‘搞定，交给你了’吧。

You don't want to type, "Done, over to you."

对方也是人，所以你可以说：‘根据你的反馈做了几处修改。

This is a human, so instead you could say, "Made a couple of updates based on your feedback.

有空的时候，我想听听你的想法。’

Curious what you think when you get a chance."

有意思，因为就算是现在，我们已经进入了AI时代，对吧？

It's interesting because even now, we're in the age of AI, right?

所以，我们在All Ears English，正在用智能体AI，也在探索它，试着弄清楚怎么用它来提高公司效率。

So, we're at All Ears English, we're working with agentic AI and working in there, figuring it out, trying to figure out how to use this to be more efficient as a company.

而且就算是AI，AI的声音也不会说“完成”或“任务完成”这样的话。

And even AI, the AI voice doesn't say, "Done," or, "Mission complete."

听起来已经不像电脑了，对吧？

It doesn't sound like a computer anymore, right?

它听起来——

It sounds-

对，没错。

Exactly

……更像这样。

... more like this.

比如，“我想出了一些点子。

Like, "I've come up with a few ideas.

你觉得这些怎么样？

What do you think about these?"

所以别——

So don't-

……听起来像电脑。

... sound like a computer.

即使是AI，现在听起来也不像电脑了。

Even the AI no longer sounds like a computer.

所以——

So -

对，

Exactly.

或者你可以说：“谢谢你那边把事情推动了。

Or you could say, "Thanks for getting things moving on your side.

我回来上线后，就接手下一部分。”

I'll take the next piece when I'm back online."

这些情况，只要让我感觉像是在跟真人说话，我就很在意这种连接感。

Any of these things where that feels like I'm talking to a real person, that I care about the connection.

你越是简短直接，对吧，就是那种“搞定，交给你了”的态度。

The more clipped you are, right, with just the, "Done, over to you-"

就越是在传达一种你并不真正在意这段关系的信号。

... the more you're giving the message that you don't really care about the connection.

对，我觉得这有个前提，如果你已经跟对方建立了默契，他们知道那就是你的风格、你的个性，就是那种，怎么说呢，简洁寡言的那种。

Yeah, and I think with one caveat there, if you have a rapport already established and they know that that's just your style, your personality, your, what would be the word, short-winded, I guess-

简明扼要。

... concise.

你们已经建立了某种默契，他们了解你这一点，那你这么做事没问题的。

You've built some kind of rapport and they get that about you, you could get away with it.

关键还是看关系，对吧？

It's all about the relationship, right?

一旦你跟某人合作了很多次。

Once you have worked together with someone a ton-

你们已经建立了那种联系，你花时间去——

... you have that connection built already, you've spent the time to-

是的

Yes

去了解他们这个人，那有些消息就可以像那样很简短，对吧？

... get to know them as a person, then some of these messages can be really quick like that, right?

完全正确。

Exactly.

奥布里，我们还有哪些方法可以让异步沟通更有效呢？

What are some other things that we could do, Aubrey, to make async work, work?

另外一点是，你要表现出对他们这个人的兴趣，而不只是他们的职位，对吧？

So another thing here is you want to show interest in the person beyond the role, right?

所以——

So-

记住他们分享的小细节，问问他们的情况。

... remembering little details they share, asking about them.

比如说，你可以庆祝他们的个人里程碑，像生日什么的。

For example, you could celebrate personal milestones, maybe birthdays-

还有职业上的成就，对吧？

... professional wins, right?

如果你……

If you-

对

Yep

……得知他们取得了什么成就，就发封邮件祝贺一下。

... find out a win they had, shoot them an email.

那是当然。

For sure.

在大家的领英上，你经常能看到人们庆祝在公司工作了多少年的更新。

On people's LinkedIn, you often see updates if someone has celebrated X number of years at a company.

你可以在下次给他们发邮件的时候提一下这个，对吧？

You might include that in your next email to them, right?

或者哪怕就是在你周一早上的邮件里，如果他们上周提到过什么，比如周末打算做什么，你就可以说：“嘿，希望周末的徒步旅行很愉快。”

Or even just on your Monday morning email, if they had mentioned something the week before, what they were going to do on the weekend, "Hey, hope the hike was great over the weekend."

没错。

Exactly.

还有，分享一些你自己生活的片段，对吧？

And sharing snippets of your own life, right?

希望你们能一来一回地聊，了解他们过得怎么样，慢慢熟悉起来，然后——

Hopefully you're asking back and forth to find out how they're doing, getting to know them a little bit and-

这有点难，不过当你们能安排一次线上欢乐时光或者类似的活动，可以更好地了解——

... it's tricky, whenever you're able to have a virtual happy hour or something where you can get to know-

彼此，那么这种关系就会——

... each other better, then this happens-

随着时间慢慢发展起来。

... sort of slowly over time.

对，我很喜欢这样。

Yeah, I love that.

好的。

All right.

奥布里，还有什么别的建议吗？

What would be another tip, Aubrey?

我们还能做些什么？

What else can we do?

这样很好，创造一些不聊工作的交流空间，对吧？

So this is great, to create a few spaces for conversations that aren't about work, right?

如果每次互动都是交接工作、赶截止日期，那就很难建立关系。

If every interaction is a handoff, a deadline, then it's hard to build that relationship.

会感觉有点平淡。

It can feel flat.

比如，建一个团队频道，大家分享书籍、食谱、宠物照片之类的，对吧？

So, for example, a team channel where people share about a book, a recipe, a photo of a pet, right?

很多人都有Slack频道——

A lot of people have Slack channels-

就是那种跟工作无关的，大家随便分享点小东西的地方。

... where there's sort of a non-business related to just share little snippets.

对，我很喜欢这个主意。

Yes, I love that idea.

这个可以只在公司员工之间设立，如果你想控制在员工层面的话，或者有时候经理们也会设立这样的。

And this could be set up just among employees in the company, if you want to have it just be at the employee level, or sometimes managers might set this up, too.

两种都可以，对吧？

You could do both, right?

你可以有一个……

You could have a-

完全可以。

Totally

一个由经理设立的频道，然后另一个只想让员工参与的，就保持在那个层面。

... a channel that a manager might set up, and then one that you just want employees to be involved in, and you just want to keep it on that level.

两种都行，但总有办法做这件事，对吧？

Both work, but some way to do this, right?
