约翰是美国一家商务咨询公司的总裁,之前曾经是芝加哥博物馆的董事会成员。在博物馆的一次筹款会议上,南茜·里根被列为主讲人。约翰打算与其他董事会成员一起欢迎这位第一夫人。在办公室度过了繁忙的一天后,约翰到达了酒店后,发现进入宴会大厅的人们都穿着正式的服装。几周来他都没有检查邀请函,约翰忘记了这是一个正式的场合,需要穿正装。 John is president of a U.S. business consulting firm and was previously a board member of the Chicago Museum. Nancy Reagan was listed as a keynote speaker at a museum fundraising conference. John intends to welcome the first lady with other board members. After a busy day in the office, John arrived at the hotel and found that people entering the banquet hall were wearing formal clothes. For weeks he did not check for invitations, and John forgot that this was a formal occasion and needed to be formally dressed.
