Cultural Background

中文

在中国的商业场合,称呼商业伙伴通常比较正式,会使用职称加姓氏的方式,例如“王总”、“李经理”等。如果关系比较熟悉,也可以直呼其名。 称呼对方的家人时,通常会使用亲属称呼,例如“太太”、“先生”、“女儿”、“儿子”等,显得比较尊重和亲切。 在非正式场合下,关系比较好的商业伙伴之间,称呼可以更加随意一些,但也要注意场合和分寸。

English

In Chinese business settings, addressing business partners is usually formal, using titles plus surnames, such as “Wang Zong” (Manager Wang) or “Li Jingli” (Manager Li). If the relationship is more familiar, you can use the given name. When addressing the partner's family members, it's customary to use kinship terms, such as “tàitai” (wife), “xiānsheng” (husband), “nǚ'ér” (daughter), “érzi” (son), which shows respect and warmth. In informal settings, close business partners can use more casual forms of address, but you should always be mindful of the context and maintain decorum.
