Ⅲ.課文篇

We spend so much time each week at work closely interacting with our colleagues. It's not surprising then to discover that almost 40 percent of married couples say they first met at work. Work romances can be OK if they are managed carefully but you must be very careful to avoid sexual harassment.
每周我們花在與同事一起親密共事的時(shí)間很多。因此發(fā)現(xiàn)幾乎40%的夫婦說他們第一次見面是在工作中也就不足為奇了。如果人們小心處理，在工作中發(fā)生浪漫的故事是可以的，不過你必須非常小心，以避免性騷擾。。

Sexual harassment is unwanted, repeated sexual attention at work. In most countries is it against the law. Companies can be fined for allowing a staff member to sexually harass another and individual can be sent to jail.
性騷擾是工作中不需要的、反復(fù)發(fā)生的與性有關(guān)的注意。在大多數(shù)國家它是違反法律的。如果公司允許一個(gè)員工對(duì)另一個(gè)員工進(jìn)行性騷擾，那么公司可能會(huì)受到處罰，而且進(jìn)行性騷擾的那個(gè)人可能要去坐牢。

Some types of sexual harassment include:
性騷擾的一些類型包括：

. Suggestive comments about your appearance
. Unwanted touching or other physical contact
. Unwanted sexual jokes or comments
. Sexual advances
. Exposure to pornographic pictures
＊ 提示有關(guān)你相貌的言語
＊ 不必要的撫摸或身體上的其他接觸
＊ 不必要的性笑話或評(píng)論
＊ 表示性意向
＊ 顯露黃色圖片

Sexual harassment is illegal even if the harasser is not your boss, even if he is not threatening that you will lose your job if you don't go along.
即使騷擾者不是你的老板，即使他不威脅你如果不合作你就會(huì)失去你的工作，性騷擾也是違法的。

Everyone has the right to a workplace free of harassment. If you feel that you have been harassed you can and should take clear action against the offender.
每個(gè)人都有權(quán)利要求一個(gè)沒有騷擾的工作環(huán)境。如果你覺得你被騷擾了，你可以也應(yīng)該對(duì)冒犯者采取明確的行動(dòng)。

Say no clearly. Inform the harasser that his or her attentions are unwanted. Make clear you find the behavior offensive. If it persists, write a memo to the harasser asking him to stop; keep a copy.
明確地說不。告訴騷擾人他／她的注意是不需要的。明確地表示你覺得那種行為冒犯了你。如果騷擾還在繼續(xù)，給騷擾者寫一份備忘錄要求他停住；自己保留一份。

Document the harassment. Write down each incident including date, time and place. Detail what happened and include your response. Keep a copy at home. This information will be useful if you need to take legal action.
騷擾的證據(jù)。記下每一次事件，包括日期、時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)。詳細(xì)地描述發(fā)生了什么事情，包括你的反應(yīng)。留一份備份在家里。如果你需要采取法律行動(dòng)，這些信息將很有幫助。

Document your work. Keep copies of performance evaluations and memos that attest to the quality of your work. The harasser may question your job performance in order to justify his behavior.
工作的證據(jù)。保留工作表現(xiàn)評(píng)估和證明你工作質(zhì)量的備忘錄的備份。騷擾者為了證明他的行為是正當(dāng)?shù)?，可能要質(zhì)問你的工作表現(xiàn)。

Look for witnesses and other victims. You are probably not the first person who has been harassed by this individual. Ask around,you may find others who will support your charge. Two accusations are much harder to ignore.
尋找目擊者和其他受害者。你也許不是被那個(gè)人騷擾的惟一一個(gè)人。問問四周；你可能找到支持你訴訟的其他人。兩起指控更讓人難以忽視。

Everyone has the right to work in a safe environment that is free from harassment of any sort! Sexual harassment is among the worst types and must be stopped! Complain loudly and clearly to prevent the harasser from doing it again to others!
每個(gè)人都有權(quán)利在一個(gè)安全的、沒有任何騷擾的環(huán)境里工作！性騷擾在最糟糕的類型之列，而且必須停止！大聲、明確地控訴，防止騷擾者再次對(duì)其他人進(jìn)行騷擾。
