As the differences in products and markets shrink, the professional world is fast becoming one that is defined¹ by the standards, qualities, and characteristics that exist in each company. This professional image is important and must be protected as according to the company's stated bylaws. This occupational image is usually what sets apart a great company from a mediocre² one. Reputation is everything. These are built on several key components³. An important one is an efficient managerial system that maintains a strict code of professional ethics⁴. If a business leader gives his or her word, this should cement him or her to the deal. Another is the idea of communication. This means being able to communicate with fellow team-members at work as well as with customers to provide the best service possible. Occupational quality is something that comes over time as trust is built. Part of this trust comes from the quality of the service. A customer that respects the producer will respect the product. It involves a reputation of equality, especially in seeking common ground while accepting the existing difference. Compromise is an important part of building a successful reputation. Professional image is not only in how you treat your customers but also in how you treat your employees. These people are the face of the company and reflect the image the company is trying to put forward. A happy worker is a productive⁵ worker. Each of these is important and a balance with other business skills must be maintained.

随着产品和市场差异的减小，专业领域正迅速发展为一个由每家公司的标准、质量和特色所限定的领域。这种专业形象很重要，必须依照公司的既定法规进行保护。这种职业形象往往就是大公司与一般公司的区别所在。信誉就是一切。它由几个关键的组成部分。其中重要的一项就是高效的管理体系。它能够使专业标准保持严格水平。如果公司领导有所指示，那就应该得到贯彻实施。另一个重点就是沟通交流。这意味着能与同一团队中的成员沟通，也能与顾客沟通，以便尽可能地提供最好的服务。专业品质是随着信任感的建立而慢慢形成的。这种信任一部分来源于服务质量。尊重生产者的顾客自然也会尊重产品。这与平等的信誉有关，尤其是在求同存异的时候。妥协是成功建立信誉的一个重要部分。专业形象不仅仅体现在如何对待客户，还体现在如何对待员工上。这些人是公司的门面，他们反映了公司想要展现的形象。一个快乐的员工也会是一个富有成效的员工。以上每项都很重要，并且还必须与其他商业技巧保持平衡。

Grammar 语法小结
虚拟语气

在虚拟语气中常会用到表示一个与事实相反的过去的情况，这是要用虚拟语气表示过去情况，从句要用过去完成时 had done, 主句要用 would have done, 例如：

If I had known that you were coming, I would have met you at the airport.

如果我知道你要来，我就会去机场接你了。

If anything had happened indeed, she would have let you know.

如果确实发生了什么事情，她早就通知你了。

If I had left sooner, I'd have caught the bus.

如果早点动身，我就赶上巴士了。

if有时可以省略，从句改为倒装语序，例如：

Had Benjamin been in charge, it wouldn't have happened.

如果本杰明负责，这事就不会发生了。

Had she been asked, she would have done it.

如果那时请她做，她是会这样做的。
