名刺交換のマナー
Business card exchange etiquette
日本のビジネスシーンでは、初めて会う人と名刺を交換するのが一般的です。名刺は、その人の名前や会社での役割が書かれた大切なものです。そのため、相手から名刺をもらうときは、両手で丁寧に受け取るのがマナーです。
また、受け取った名刺をすぐにポケットに入れたり、机の上に置いたままにしたりするのは失礼だとされています。相手の名前をしっかり確認し、会議の間は自分の前に並べておくのが基本です。相手を敬う気持ちを形にすることが、信頼関係を作る第一歩になります。
Translation
In Japanese business scenes, it is common to exchange business cards when meeting someone for the first time. A business card is an important item that lists a person's name and their role in the company. Therefore, it is etiquette to receive a card from someone else with both hands respectfully. Also, it is considered rude to put a received card immediately into your pocket or leave it on the desk. You should check the person's name carefully and keep the card in front of you during the meeting. Showing respect for the other person in this way is the first step toward building a relationship of trust.
