[00:03.87] Team-building gurus are hired by some corporations to lecture us on how to work more effectively with each other. 一些公司聘请了团队建设大师来教我们如何更有效地合作。

[00:11.14] And they organise awaydays - a time employees spend together away from their usual workplace.他们还组织休假日——员工们在远离日常工作场所的地方一起度过的时光。

[00:17.91] Here in the UK, employees can take part in activities such as Zombie boot camps where military instructors train you how to fight walking 'dead people'. 在英国，员工可以参加诸如僵尸训练营之类的活动，在那里，军事教官会训练您如何与行走的“死人”搏斗。

[01:17.62] Kelly Eide, co-founder of True Leadership, says: "The horses don't care if your hair is purple, if you're a man or a woman, if you're old or young... 真正领导力的联合创始人凯利艾德说：“马不在乎你的头发是紫色的，是男人还是女人，是老是少……

[01:26.90] It transcends all of those cultural boundaries – age, gender, religion, tradition etc. – so that's a perfect fit. 它超越了所有这些文化界限——年龄、性别、宗教、传统等——所以这是一个完美的契合。
