| OK, um, this work topic, uh, it depends whether you’re talking about [people who] work as part of a group or do their work by themselves. I think that this is more or less the same in Taiwan and the US because it depends on your type of work. Like, some more research type jobs, working in a lab, uh, I think an individual has to really focus when in his workplace, in the lab. Uh, I think that in jobs where you tend more to work by yourself… now of course I don’t mean 100% [by yourself] because you probably spend 10% of your time exchanging information, exchanging “ideas” with your colleagues.
Now, generally, at larger companies, for these, uh, larger projects, you probably form a “team,” a, a team from people of different departments. Now I think that in that situation, how you interact with others is extremely, how people go about cooperating with one another is extremely important; it’s not about one person’s performance. Like, it’s like playing basketball. Everyone has their own position. Everyone has their own function. But how they interact is extremely important. So I think whether you work alone or as a team depends on the nature of the work, and also depends on the kind of project the company gives you [to do]. | OK， 啊这个谈到工作啊是跟群体工作呢还是说个人一个人啊在工作时工作。那我想这个在台湾来讲或是在美国来讲，大概都是差不多。因为就是象看你的工作的性质。那象有些比较类似研究工作，那在实验室工作，那我想就是个人要很专心在工作房，在工作实验室。 那我想在比较偏向于个人的工作，那当然不是说啊百分之百。因为可能啊百分之十的时间你要跟你的啊工作伙伴去交换啊资料，交换啊这个idea.
那后那象大部分在啊比较大的公司，比较大的这个的的项目，可能就是有不同部门的人组成一个team,一个一个团队。那我想在那个情况之下就非常跟别人怎么互动，别人跟别人怎么去啊合作是非常重要的，而不是个人的一个啊表现。 象这就象在打篮球一样，每个人有每个人的啊位置，每个人有每个人的啊功能，可是互相之间的互动是非常重要的。所以我想是个人做呢还是团体做，这个是看工作的性质，还有跟公司啊给你的项目有关系。 |
