The Problem 問題
My resolution for 2009 is to reduce the amount of time I spend waiting.I always arrive punctually at internal meetings and am enraged to have to wait five or 10 minutes for colleagues. At external meetings I am sometimes left waiting in reception, or, worse still, am made to wait for guests at restaurants. I could simply opt to be 10 minutes late for everything myself, but that goes against the grain. Are there any ways of encouraging others to be as punctual as I am myself?
我2009年的愿望是減少我花在等候上的時(shí)間，
然后讓其它人跟我一樣守時(shí)
。我總是按時(shí)參加內(nèi)部會(huì)議，讓我感到憤怒的是，我不得不等上5分鐘或10分鐘，同事們才會(huì)到場。在參加外部會(huì)議時(shí)，我有時(shí)會(huì)在前臺(tái)等人，或者，更糟糕的情況下，還要在餐廳等待客人的到來。我可以選擇每件事都晚到10分鐘，但這不是我的性格。有什么辦法能讓其他人像我一樣守時(shí)呢？

On January 1 people resolve to change their behaviors, in spite of the fact that such resolutions hardly ever stick for more than a day or two. You have wisely skipped this stage and are resolving to change others instead. The popular belief is that changing others is harder than changing yourself, but this isn't true - at least it isn't if you are the boss.
1月1日，人們會(huì)決心改變自己的行為，不過事實(shí)是，這種決心很難堅(jiān)持一兩天以上。你聰明地跳過了這個(gè)階段，而是希望改變其他人的行為。人們通常認(rèn)為，改變別人比改變自己更難，但事實(shí)并非如此--至少如果你是老板的話，就不會(huì)如此。
Punctuality is about power, and if you are in a position of power over your colleagues it should be perfectly possible to get them to show up on time.
守時(shí)與否事關(guān)權(quán)力大小，如果你的權(quán)力大過你的同事們，那么他們完全有可能按時(shí)到場。
You simply make sure the meeting starts on time, and that the door is then firmly closed - or, better still, locked. Latecomers will have to knock and be admitted in disgrace. You can make a big deal of every late arrival, and say in the most schoolmasterly fashion "so kind of you to drop in" or similar. That should do the trick.
你只需確保會(huì)議按時(shí)開始，然后把會(huì)議室的門緊閉--或者更棒的是，把門鎖上--遲到的人必須先敲門，然后得到允許，再一臉羞愧地走進(jìn)來，

《然后讓其它人跟我一樣守時(shí)》(http://www.szmdbiao.com)。你可以對每個(gè)遲到者小題大做，用最具教訓(xùn)式的口吻說"你能來造訪真是太好了"或者類似的話。這應(yīng)能解決你的。
However, if you are not the boss, you can do whatever you like and it will not have the slightest effect. Punctuality or lack of it is deep-seated. I have a friend who is so terminally late for things he even missed his own wedding. Whereas I am like you: constitutionally incapable of being even 30 seconds late and enraged by a lack of punctuality in others. I have experimented with being five minutes late, but found it so stressful it wasn't worth it. I have also tried making the other party feel bad by saying "what kept you?" or by looking at my watch and sighing. Mostly this makes me feel petty, so it isn't the answer either.
然而，如果你不是老板，你可以做任何你喜歡做的事情，但它不會(huì)產(chǎn)生任何影響。守時(shí)或不守時(shí)的習(xí)慣往往根深蒂固。我有一個(gè)朋友，他遲到的過于離譜，甚至錯(cuò)過了自己的婚禮。不過，我和你一樣：遲到30秒都覺得是在犯罪，其他人不守時(shí)同樣也讓我憤怒。我曾試過遲到5分鐘，但發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣做壓力太大，不值得如此。我也曾試過讓對方感到不舒服，我會(huì)跟他說"什么事耽擱啦？"或者一直看著表嘆氣。多數(shù)情況下，這讓我感到自己有些小心眼，因此這也不是個(gè)好辦法。
The only way out is to arrange fewer meetings. This way one saves not only the time one would have wasted waiting, but the time in having the meeting too, leaving one free to get some work done instead.
唯一的方法是減少會(huì)議。這樣做，人們不僅可以省掉本來要浪費(fèi)在等其人上的時(shí)間，還節(jié)省了開會(huì)的時(shí)間，人們有時(shí)間來完成一些工作。
