- Exchanging handshakes is a vital part of doing business. Refusing to shake hands is an insult. If you are unable to shake hands because of illness or injury, apologize and explain immediately.
握手在生意中是很重要的一部分。拒絕握手被視為對別人的一種侮辱。如果你因為生病或者受傷而不能和別人握手,應立即解釋和道歉。
- A firm handshake is the only one proper handshake. Extend your hand, make sure the web of your hand makes contact with the web of my hand, close your thumb over the back of his hand; give a slight squeeze with your fingers; two quick pumps and let go.
唯一合適的一種握手方式就是緊緊地握手。伸開你的手,確保你的手掌和我的手掌貼在一起,然後把你的大拇指扣在我的手背上,同時用其他手指輕輕地握緊我的手,很快地上下搖動兩下後就鬆手。
