New Employee: I can't believe you wear jeans to the office! Are you trying to lose your job? 真想不到，你竟然穿着牛仔裤来上班了。你不想干了？
HR Administrator: Of course not. I'm just observing casual day. On Fridays, the company doesn't require us to wear formal business attire. 当然不是。我这么穿也是符合有关便服日的规定的：公司不要求员工在星期五穿正规的职业装。
New Employee:Wow! Nobody told me about that. Won't the relaxed dress code damage the company image? 哇！没人告诉我这个。难道这种善于便服的着装规定不会损害公司形象吗？
HR Administrator: We don't think so. Casual days are becoming more common, and we believe employees can maintain a professional image without wearing uncomfortable clothes. 不会的。实行便服日的这种规定已经越来越普遍了；我们认为，即使员工穿着舒适随意一些，也能保持专业形象。
New Employee: I guess it lets people express their individual tastes. But won't some people abuse it ? 身穿便服可以体现个人品味。难道不会有人滥用这个规定吗？
HR Administrator: Not really. Besides, there is a separate dress code for casual day. People can't just wear whatever they want. 不会吧。穿便服有有单独的规定，员工也不能想穿什么就穿什么。
New Employee: It seems that a relaxed atmosphere could hinder productivity. 轻松的气氛会影响工作效率。
HR Administrator: Believe it or not, it has the opposite effect. Employees are actually more productive on casual days. 不管你相不相信，事实恰恰相反。员工的效率在便服日恰恰是得到了提高。
