Business Travel
 
Business trips can be hectic, fast-paced and run on tight schedules. Good preparation is vital if you’re to reduce the effects of stress and keep an organized, alert mind. By thinking ahead and preparing well for your trip you’ll not only be doing your health a favor but also your company, by turning up at your meetings looking refreshed and focused.
商务旅行可以是忙乱的,快节奏的,紧凑的日程安排。
如果你想减少压力的影响,保持一个有条理、警觉的头脑,做好准备是至关重要的。
通过提前思考和为旅行做好准备,你不仅会给你的健康带来好处,也会给你的公司带来好处。
  Before You Go
Collect information in a file folder as soon as you decide to make a trip. Make it the repository for, contact names, airline tickets, hotel and car rental confirmations, maps and driving directions, and receipts.
  Create an itinerary and leave a copy at your home base. Factor in jet lag: whether it's a three-hour difference between coasts or a lengthy overseas flight, the time change and trip fatigue can greatly impact your mental and physical energy. Also scout out restaurants and local attractions online in case you have extra time.
  Eat Well. Boost your immune system with good nutrition. Start supplementing your diet with extra vitamin C, to help your immune system fight any viruses that might be hanging around.
  Dress appropriately for maximum comfort, unless you are traveling with a client or expect one to meet your flight. In the past, people viewed air travel as more formal; but today, the emphasis is on comfort. However, if the luggage you check is delayed or lost, make sure that a suit is included in your carry- on bag.
  Keep luggage light. Don’t expect anyone else to carry it for you, but preparing suitable clothes is necessary. You should pack the correct professional clothing for the climate of your destination.
  Don't get stressed. Setting off for a trip on the wrong foot is asking for trouble. Staying calm and focused will allow you to arrive at your destination in one piece without feeling like you have traveled half way across the globe. Start by making sure you have all your important travel documents in hand and get to the airport in good time, to check in, have a meal or snack, and relax before the flight. You could also use this downtime to go through work documents or prepare for your meetings.
一旦你决定去旅行,就在文件夹中收集信息。
让它成为仓库,联系人姓名,机票,酒店和租车确认,地图和驾驶方向,和收据。
创建一个行程,并在你的总部留下一份副本。
时差因素:无论是三小时的时差还是长途的海外飞行,时差和旅途疲劳都会对你的精神和体力产生很大的影响。
你也可以在网上搜索餐馆和当地景点,以防你有额外的时间。
吃得好。提高你的免疫系统与良好的营养。
开始在你的饮食中补充额外的维生素C,以帮助你的免疫系统对抗任何可能存在的病毒。
穿着得体,以获得最大的舒适感,除非你是和客户一起旅行,或者期待一个人能赶上你的航班。在过去,人们认为航空旅行更正式;
但今天,重点是舒适。
但是,如果您托运的行李延误或丢失,请确保您的随身行李中包含一套套装。
保持行李。别指望别人替你拿,但准备合适的衣服是必要的。
你应该根据你的目的地的气候包装正确的专业服装。
不要让压力。走错路是自麻烦。
保持冷静和专注会让你在到达目的地的时候感觉自己已经走了半个地球。
首先要确保你手头有所有重要的旅行文件,及时到达机场,办理登机手续,吃顿饭或零食,然后在飞机起飞前放松一下。
你也可以利用这段时间浏览工作文档或准备会议。
  On the Flight
Make wise choices about what you eat and drink. Drink plenty of fruit juice or water. Try to avoid alcohol Choose still water rather than carbonated, as this will keep you from the bloated, gassy feeling associated with carbonated drinks. Avoid any stimulant such as caffeine as this will only leave you with a false sense of alertness that will soon fade, leaving you more tired than before. Try to avoid too much bread or potatoes and instead stick to protein and vegetables, which will leave you feeling less bloated and more alert. On short fights your airline is likely to offer little more than a bag of peanuts and a drink, so make sure that you have a good meal before the flight, or pack a healthy snack bar and a piece of fruit in your hand luggage to keep you going.
Try to move about regularly on the flight. Just a quick walk up the aisle or circling your ankles around can help improve your circulation and leave you feeling less stifled in your seat.
  Another trick is not to change your watch during the fight, so that you stick to your own time zone’s sleep patterns. If your watch tells you that it is late then try and get some sleep rather than saying up to watch the in-flight movie. Your body and mind will thank you once you get to your destination.
  Packing earplugs and even an eye mask are great ways to ensure that you get some much needed sleep on long-haul flights, to cut out cabin noise and light.
对你所吃的和喝的东西做出明智的选择。
多喝果汁或水。
尽量避免饮酒,选择静水而不是碳酸饮料,因为这会让你远离碳酸饮料带来的浮肿、胀气的感觉。
避免任何刺激物,比如,这样只会让你产生一种错误的警觉感,这种感觉很快就会消失,让你比以前更累。
尽量避免吃太多的面包或土豆,而坚持吃蛋白质和蔬菜,这会让你感觉不那么腹胀,更有精神。
在短途飞行中,你的航空公司可能只会提供一袋花生和一杯饮料,所以要确保你在飞行前吃得很好,或者在你的手提行李里装上一个健康的小吃店和一片水果,让你继续飞行。
尽量在飞机上有规律地走动。在走道上快速走一圈,或者在你的脚踝周围转一圈,可以改善你的血液循环,让你在座位上感觉不那么压抑。
另一个诀窍是在战斗中不改变你的手表,这样你就能坚持自己的时区的睡眠模式。
如果你的手表告诉你已经晚了,那就试着睡一觉,而不是说起床去看飞机上的电影。
一旦你到达目的地,你的身体和精神都会感谢你。
带上耳塞,甚至带个眼罩,都是确保你在长途飞行中获得必要睡眠的好方法,可以减少机舱的噪音和光线。
  Arriving at Your Destination
If you have to jump straight off the plane and head to a meeting then ensure you get some sleep or rest while flying Otherwise try to give yourself a few hours rest when you get to your hotel or accommodation. A warm shower is a good way to revive you. A good workout or swim in the hotel gym can also help to give you a lift. Don't head for the hotel bar or reach for a cup of coffee instead.
  Jet lag. It takes about one day per time zone crossed to adjust to local time, so bear this in mind when you arrive at your destination.
  Get a good deal of sleep before your journey. It’s also important to rest as much as possible during your fight. Planning to arrive at your destination as near to the time when you normally go to sleep will also help with the adjustment. If you are able to plan your itinerary allow time on arrival for this adjustment.
less is more 翻译
  On arrival at your destination get active as soon as possible and adjust your meals and activities to local time as soon as you can. Exposure to light is also a good way of naturally allowing your body to adjust.
如果你必须直接从飞机上跳下来去参加一个会议,那么要确保你在飞行期间得到一些睡眠或休息,否则,当你到达酒店或住处的时候,尽量给自己几个小时的休息时间。
温暖的淋浴是使你苏醒的好方法。
在旅馆的健身房好好锻炼或游泳也能让你搭便车。
不要去酒店酒吧,也不要去喝咖啡。
时差。每个时区需要一天的时间来适应当地时间,所以当你到达目的地的时候要记住这一点。
旅行前好好睡一觉。在战斗中尽可能多的休息也是很重要的。
计划在你通常睡觉的时间附近到达你的目的地也有助于调整。
如果您能够计划您的行程,请在到达时为这次调整预留时间。
到达目的地后要尽快行动起来,并尽快根据当地时间调整你的饮食和活动。
暴露在光线下也是一种很好的自然调节方式。
Behave Appropriately on Business Travel
Be polite. This is includes when you’re dealing with airport security checking into your hotel or waiting in a line for a cab. Act courteously to your co-workers. You're representing your employer, after all.
  Dress appropriately for all the activities. Since you’re on a business trip, you should maintain some level of professionalism throughout. For men, conservative business suits and ties are best. If you know you will be entertained formally, a tuxedo should' be packed as well. For after-hours or informal entertainments, sport jackets, slacks, and light weight sweaters are generally appropriate. Your appearance should show respect to your host and host country and should reflect your status as a businessperson.
  For women, conservatism is again the key requirement. No backless, sleeveless, or strapless dresses for business. Mid or long-sleeved dresses are the best, and pumps are more suitable than toeless or backless shoes. Dresses with jackets or suits are perfect. Blouses should be buttoned more to the top than not. Make-up should be light, and hair should be smooth and neat. For evening entertainment, dresses that can be livened up with a change of accessories are easiest for traveling. A long gown is not necessary except for the most formal parties.
  Be on time for everything. Nothing turns some people off more than constant lateness. It’s considerate to be on time or even early for meetings, meals and gatherings
  The last tip to mention is to hold on to your paperwork. Most companies require that you document your expenses. Since you will need them for reimbursement, always find a place to keep them in your carry-on luggage.
  While the tips won’t eliminate all the problems you may face, at least you are doing everything to make your travel life easier and less frazzled.
要有礼貌。这包括当你正在处理机场安检,入住酒店或者排队等出租车的时候。
对你的同事要有礼貌。
毕竟你是代表你的雇主。
在所有的活动中都要穿着得体。
既然你在出差,你应该始终保持某种程度的专业精神。
对男人来说,保守的西装和领带是最好的选择。
如果你知道你会得到正式的款待,一件燕尾服也应该打包。
在业余时间或非正式的娱乐活动中,运动夹克、休闲裤和轻便毛衣通常是合适的。
你的外表应该尊重你的主人和东道国,应该反映你作为一个商人的身份。
对于女性来说,保守主义再次成为关键要求。
商务场合不能穿无背、无袖或无肩带服装。
中长袖或中长袖是最好的,与无鞋或无背鞋相比,轻便鞋更适合。
带夹克或套装的连衣裙是完美的。
上衣的钮扣应该多扣一点。
化妆品应该是轻的,头发应该是光滑和整洁的。对于晚上的娱乐活动来说,可以换换配饰的连衣裙最适合旅行。
除了最正式的聚会外,不需要穿长礼服。
凡事都要准时。没有什么比经常迟到更让人讨厌的了。准时,甚至提前开会、吃饭和聚会是很体贴的。
最后一个要提到的技巧是坚持你的文书工作。大多数公司要求你记录你的开支。
既然你需要报销,那就个地方把它们放在你的随身行李里。
虽然这些建议并不能消除你可能面临的所有问题,但至少你正在尽一切努力让你的旅行生活更轻松、更轻松。
