陳豪正正在北京的ABC好國公司事件。他上班旁邊栖息，跟好國同事Amy一路下樓喝茶。
(Office ambience)
C：Amy, 你坤嗎老看我的足啊？
A：I'm sorry. I just couldn't help noticing that you aren't wearing socks today.
C：天兒太熱了，中文翻譯日文，不穿襪子還涼爽點兒。
A：Personally, that might be all right, but professionally that's a bad decision.
C：為何？我睹過很多人上班皆不穿襪子的。
A：However, at ABC Company, professional dress is important for our corporate image.
C：我上班穿西拆，打發帶，這還不够嗎？
A：No. Would you consider not wearing a shirt with your coat and tie?
C：我诚然不會光著膀子穿西裝打領帶了。
A：Then you shouldn't consider wearing your shoes without socks. If your boss Mr. Jones sees you, he will not be pleased.
C：那可壞了。我可我出帶襪子。那怎樣辦呀？
A：Avoid Mr. Jones at all cost. Then buy some socks when you go out for lunch today. There's a department store right around the corner.
C：您說得對，我得先躲著點兒老板，午時吃飯的時辰趕快来商舖買襪子穿上。I will see you later.

MC：午饭後，陳豪找到Amy.
A：Chen Hao, did you find any socks?
C：我正籌備穿上呢！天兒熱，所以我買了兩雙白襪子，起码比深颜色的襪子涼爽里兒。
A：Oh dear.
C：怎樣了？
A：White socks are inappropriate for corporate dress. They are more for athletic wear and outdoor attire.
C：啊？白襪子是跑步打毬穿的，不是上班穿的。怎麼這麼多講供呀！倖虧我借購了一單深色的。傚勞員初終揹我傾銷下腰兒的，即是能夠推到小腿肚女上往的那一種。我觉得太熱，沒買。
A：Oh dear.
C：又怎麼了？
A：You should have listened to the salesman. Short socks just won't do in the business environment.
C：那為什麼？
A：It's because when you sit down and cross your legs in short socks, you expose everyone around you to the sight of your hairy legs.
C：Amy, 我素來沒唸到穿襪子还有這麼多講求。
A：Your business attire is extremely important "right down to your socks".
C：這麼讲，我穿成甚麼樣兒也會影響到公司形象了。看來我下班還得再來買襪子，Amy，你伴我往吧，完了事兒我請你用飯。
A：Thank you. I'll look forward to that.
C：Amy，你能不能再告诉我一下上班要穿什麼樣的襪子。如許我旧道熱腸裏便罕见了。
A：Avoid white socks and short socks，日文翻譯. The right sock in business is the one that covers your calf and matches your shoes and pants.
