Promptness is important in American business, academic, and social settings. The importance of punctuality is taught to young children in school. Tardy slips and the use of bells signal to the child that punctuality and time itself are to be respected.
People who keep appointments are considered dependable. If people are late to job interviews, appointments, or classes, they are often viewed as unreliable and irresponsible. In the business world, "time is money" and companies may fine their executives for tardiness to business meetings. Of course, it is not always possible to be punctual. Social and business etiquette also provides rules for late arrivals. Calling on the telephone if one is going to be more than a few minutes late for scheduled appointments is considered polite and is often expected. Keeping a date of a friend waiting beyond ten to twenty minutes is considered rude. On the other hand, arriving thirty minutes late to some parties is acceptable.
"Time is money" here means______.
选项
A、time is very important in the business world
B、time can bring you money
C、if you hurry, you can get some money
D、if you are late, you will lose money
答案
D
解析
注意,此处的time is money后面跟的信息就是fine(罚款)。所以,其所体现的含义就是:如果不守时,就要被罚款,与D选项的意思最相近。
