[摘要]在商務(wù)場(chǎng)合，和他人握手是經(jīng)常要做的一件事。這很簡(jiǎn)單的一件事背后其實(shí)包含了很多的含義，需要職場(chǎng)人士去注意怎樣握手才能不失禮節(jié)，尤其是和外國(guó)朋友握手時(shí)更應(yīng)該注意。

 

A handshake is more than just a greeting. It is also a message about your personality and confidence level. In business, a handshake is an important tool in making the right first impression.

一個(gè)握手的動(dòng)作不僅是一種問候，同時(shí)也給別人傳遞著你的個(gè)性和自信心的信息。尤其在商務(wù)工作中，握手對(duì)于留下良好第一印象至關(guān)重要。

While the art of handshaking does vary within cultures, in the United States the "rules" are pretty universal.

雖然不同文化的握手習(xí)慣不同，但是美國(guó)的"基本規(guī)則"則是比較通用的。

1.Begin With an Oral Introduction of Yourself

1. 以自我介紹為開始。

Before extending your hand, introduce yourself. Extending your hand should be part of an introduction, not a replacement for using your voice. Extending your hand without a voice greeting may make you appear nervous or overly aggressive.

伸出手前，首先介紹自己。雖然主動(dòng)伸手也算是自我介紹的一部分，但不能代替聲音的作用。如果你只伸出自己的手跟別人握手，而沒有說話，則有可能顯示你的不安或過度的侵略性。

2.Pump Your Hand Only 2-3 Times

2. 擺動(dòng)2-3次就可以了。

A business handshake should be brief and to the point. Holding on for more than three or four seconds can make other people feel uncomfortable.

商務(wù)上的握手禮儀應(yīng)該是短暫直接的。擺動(dòng)超過3或4次會(huì)讓人不舒服。

3.Shake From Your Elbow

3. 從手肘開始擺動(dòng)。

4. Do Not Use a Forceful Grip

4. 用力不要過猛。

A handshake should be a friendly or respectful gesture, not a show of physical strength.

握手應(yīng)該是友好和表示敬意的，而不是表現(xiàn)身體素質(zhì)有多強(qiáng)的動(dòng)作。

5.Avoid Offering a "Fish Hand"

5. 避免伸出"魚手"。

A limp hand is never a good idea when it comes to a business handshake. Do return the grip, but do not get into a power struggle, even if the other person squeezes too hard.

軟弱無力的手永遠(yuǎn)都不能很好地完成握手的過程。可以轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)榫o握，但是不要用力過度，即使另一個(gè)人握得很緊。

6.Forget "Lady Fingers"

6. "夫人指"就算了。

Offering only your fingers to shake may be appropriate in some social settings, but in business settings you are an equal, not a "lady." Extend your entire hand, and be sure to grasp using your entire hand as well.

在某些場(chǎng)合只用手指握手也許是合適的，但是在商務(wù)場(chǎng)合中，每個(gè)人都是平等的，你也不是"夫人"。伸出整只手，并且確保用整只手握住別人的手。

7.One Hand is Better than Two

7. 單手更有禮貌。

8.Shaking a Sweaty Hand

8. 滿手大汗。

If you shake hands with someone who has sweaty palms, do not immediately wipe your hands on your clothing, handkerchief, or tissue. This will further embarrass the other person, who is probably already aware they have sweaty hands. You can discretely wipe them on something after you are out of site, and wash them later.

如果你與一位滿手出汗的人握手，請(qǐng)別急著擦干手，在衣服上，手帕上或紙巾都不行。這會(huì)讓對(duì)方更尷尬，因?yàn)樗?她早已知道自己出手汗的事。你可以事后用別的非場(chǎng)內(nèi)的物品擦干，并清洗干凈。

9.Ending a Handshake

9. 結(jié)束握手。

End the handshake after 3-4 seconds, or 2-3 pumps.

在3-4秒后，或擺動(dòng)手2-3次后結(jié)束握手。

10.Covering Your Mistakes

10. 沒“握對(duì)”的補(bǔ)救。

Even if you make a mistake, do not panic. There are many ways to save the moment. If you are worried that your handshake did not convey the right message about yourself, simply change the focus of the moment by offering a quick compliment or asking the other person a question.

即使你出了錯(cuò)，也不要驚慌。有很多補(bǔ)救的方法。如果你擔(dān)心握手無法為自己傳遞正確的信息，那么只需轉(zhuǎn)移注意力，比如稱贊別人或提出問題。
