You look really young to be a manager. Jack，我可以問一下——你幾歲啊？你看起來很年輕，不像當主管的。 Jack Ha, thanks. Honestly though, age is one of those things people here don’t ask straight out — it can come across as a little personal. 哈，謝啦。不過老實說，年齡是這裡的人不會直接問的事——這樣問會給人有點太私人的感覺（come across as personal）。 Vivian Really?

Salary is pretty much taboo in American offices. Asking what someone makes really puts them on the spot. 噢，那個更嚴重。薪水在美國職場幾乎是禁忌（taboo）。問別人賺多少會讓人很難堪、下不了台（put them on the spot）。 Vivian Wow, I had no idea. We compare salaries all the time back home. What about family — are you married? Any kids? 哇，我完全不知道。我們在台灣超愛比薪水的。那家庭呢——你結婚了嗎？有小孩嗎？ Jack See, those feel personal too. Some people are fine with it, but others find it intrusive — you never know who’s going through something. 你看，那些也很私人。有些人不介…
