We all usually want to get from A to B as quickly as possible and when we want to get our messages across to people who have the same job as ours, we often use jargon (行话). It’s a kind of short-cut that helps us communicate without wasting time. Jargon is simply a kind of language shorthand that lets us say what we mean quickly. In the business world, you might expect to hear or use a lot of jargon. However, a report in Britain claims that most managers overuse business jargon and that this has a negative effect on how staff feel. Most employees in Britain, according to this survey, have a low opinion of the colleagues who use management jargon. Over a third of those surveyed think it shows a lack of confidence and almost one in five think people who use it are untrustworthy or trying to cover something up. Some of the most overused business expressions were: get our ducks in a row (have everything arranged efficiently), brain dump (tell everything you know about a particular subject) and think outside the box (be creative in how you think about problems). |
