The scheduling of appointment is very important in western culture.

预定约会在西方文化里是非常重要的。

If you want to visit somebody or invite somebody to do something, the best way is to make an appointment with him in advance, because most westerners often keep a strict person schedule. They don't welcome unexpected visitors. Usually for a westerner three schedules are kept, one for daily events one for weekly planning and one for long term planning. You have to show respect for their cultural custom.

如果你想拜访某人，或者是邀请某人做某事，最好的方法是预先与他订个约会，因为大多数西方人常常遵守一个严格的个人时间表。他们不喜欢不速之客。通常一个在西方人得遵守三个时间表：一个是当天的计划安排，一个是每周的计划；另一个是长远的计划。你得尊重他们的文化习俗。

Often appointments are made on the phone by talking with him directly or with his secretary, who can help him to arrange the appointment. Remember to tell him or her directly why you want to meet him. Before making an appointment,you must know the full name and title of the person you want to meet. If necessary ,you can check with his secretary. All the appointments should be double-checkde for accuracy. The time, address, names of involved parties, and spelling and pronunciation of the names should be verified.

通常你可以通过电话与他本人预定约会或通过他的秘书来安排约会。记住直接告诉他或她要见他的目的。约会之前，你必须知道对方的全名和头衔。如有必要，可与他的秘书核实一下。为了准确起见，应该核实所有约会。约会的时间、地点，所涉及人物的姓名以及姓名的拼写和发音都应加以核实。

Don't be late for the appointment. You have to get to the meeting place on time. If something urgent happens which prevents you from keeping the appointment, you can change or cancel the appointment immediately. It is very impolite for you to fall to keep an appointment.

约会时不要迟到。你得按时赶到约会地点。如果发生急事，你不能按时赴约，你应立即改变或取消约会。失约是很不礼貌的。
