Meeting the Team · 认识新同事
basicHey, you must be the new hire! I am Jake, I sit right across from you. Welcome to the team!
嘿，你一定是新来的！我是 Jake，我坐你对面。欢迎加入团队！
Hi Jake, nice to meet you! I am Lin. Today is my first day, so I am still figuring things out.
嗨 Jake，很高兴认识你！我是 Lin。今天是我第一天，还在慢慢熟悉。
💡 美国职场第一天不需要太拘束，微笑、眼神接触、主动握手就很好。不需要鞠躬或过于正式。
No worries, we have all been there. If you need anything, just tap me on the shoulder. Want me to show you where the break room is?
没关系，大家都经历过。有什么需要的话，拍拍我肩膀就行。要我带你看看休息室在哪吗？
That would be great, thanks! By the way, what time does the team usually grab lunch?
太好了，谢谢！对了，团队一般几点吃午饭？
Most of us head out around noon. We usually try a different spot each week. You should totally come with us today!
大部分人中午出去吃。我们每周通常会换一个地方。今天你一定要跟我们一起去！
I would love to! It will be a great way to get to know everyone. Thanks for being so welcoming, Jake.
我很乐意！这是认识大家的好机会。谢谢你这么热情，Jake。
💡 美国职场中表达感谢很重要，但不需要过度客套。简单真诚的 'thanks for being so welcoming' 就很得体。
Setting Up Your Workspace · 工作环境设置
intermediateHey Lin, IT just dropped off your laptop. Do you need a hand getting everything set up?
嘿 Lin，IT 刚把你的笔记本送来了。需要帮忙设置吗？
Actually, yes. I am trying to connect to the Wi-Fi but I cannot find the network. Do you know the password?
确实需要。我在连 Wi-Fi 但找不到网络。你知道密码吗？
Oh right, the guest network is different from the employee one. You need to use CorpNet — the password should be in the welcome email from IT.
对了，访客网络和员工网络是不同的。你需要用 CorpNet——密码应该在 IT 发给你的欢迎邮件里。
Found it, thanks! One more thing — how do I request access to the shared drive? I need to see the project files.
找到了，谢谢！再问一个——怎么申请共享盘的权限？我需要看项目文件。
💡 在美国职场，主动问权限和工具的使用方式是正常的，不要怕麻烦同事，大家对新人都很有耐心。
Just submit a ticket through the IT portal. It usually gets approved within an hour. I will send you the link.
在 IT 门户网站提一个工单就行。通常一个小时内就能批准。我把链接发给你。
Perfect, I really appreciate all your help. You have made my first day so much easier!
太好了，非常感谢你的帮助。你让我的第一天轻松多了！
