職場心經

在西方人的觀念中，無論是私人會面還是商業(yè)約會，事先約定是基本社交禮儀。安排經理、老總們約會往往是秘書或者助理的職責。掌握上司的工作日程和活動，了解約會的目的和意圖，是安排上司和他人約會工作中很重要的事情。預約可以當面進行，也可以通過傳真，電子郵件和信函，但大多數(shù)都是電話商定約會的具體時間和地點。

today與tomorrow：

表示“今天”“明天”，有兩層意思：一是指狹義的今天、明天（相對昨天而言），二是廣義地指現(xiàn)在、未來（相對過去而言）；表示前者的意思通常用-'s構成所有格，表示后者的意思，通常用of構成所有格。例如：

Have you read today's paper?

你讀過今天的報紙了嗎？

The news will be in tomorrow's newspaper.

明天的報紙將刊載這條消息。

Young people of today have no manners.

如今的青年人不講禮貌。

The world of tomorrow will be very different.

未來的世界將大不相同。

由于today和tomorrow可同時作名詞或副詞，所以用of構成所有格時，有時可省略of而直接用副詞后置定語。如：women today（當今的婦女），the changes tomorrow（未來的變化）等。

另外，在現(xiàn)代英語中用于廣義表示“現(xiàn)在”“未來”時，有時也可用-'s構成所有格，但不如用of普通。例如：

Today's youth will be the leaders of tomorrow.

現(xiàn)在的年輕人將成為未來的領導者。
