6. Politics: You've seen how out of hand political discussions can get with your family at the dinner table. Do you really want to start that kind of drama at work? Keep in mind that while your family is obligated to love you no matter what, co-workers are not。

　　6. 政治议题：你已体认过与家人吃饭时所聊的政治议题如何失去控制，你还要让这种戏码在工作岗位上演吗？谨记你的家人有义务无条件爱你，但同事可没有。

　　7. Salary information: Money's a weird topic in our culture. As eager as we are to find out what other people make, we're not as ready to divulge our earnings. Salary is associated with worth, and when your salary's known, it invites speculation of whether you're being over- or undercompensated. Why are you getting paid that much when another person with the same qualification earns much less?

　　7. 薪资：金钱在我们文化中是一个相当奇特的话题。我们渴望打听到别人赚多少钱，本身却没洩漏的打算。薪资与身价有关，当你的薪资被公开，大家就会开始臆测你的身价到底被高估还是低估，以及为什麼你有资格领的比相同能力的人多。

　　Vicky Oliver, author of "Bad Bosses, Crazy Co-Workers and Other Office Idiots," also cautions that your accomplishments can be downplayed if this information is public. "You don't want your co-workers to snivel about how you 'don't need the money' every time your boss wants to give you a bonus." Avoid the drama and gossip and keep your salary to yourself。

　　《坏老板、疯狂同事、和其他办公室白痴》此书的作者维琪奥利福也告诫，此举会导致绩效被低估。每当你的老闆打算给你奖金，你不会想要同事到处哭诉你并“不需要这笔钱”。避免流言的最好方法就是绝口不提。

　　8. Religion: See politics。

　　8. 宗教议题：如同“政治议题”。

　　9. Your privileged life: Along the same lines of keeping salary information to yourself, your enviable pull with society's high rollers should also stay private. Although you have the good fortune to know powerful business leaders and social butterflies, bragging about how many doors they've opened for you will tarnish your image。

　　9. 所享特权：正如薪资，别让别人知道你对上流人士令人又羡又忌的吸引力。虽然有幸认识有权势的公司老闆和社交花蝴蝶，夸耀他们给的好处只会有损形象。

　　"Don't rub your privilege in other people's faces," Oliver warns. "People should be rewarded on the basis of merit." Bragging about how you got into an Ivy League school or even in your current position will put doubt about your qualifications。

　　“不要以此惹怒同事。”奥利福警告，“人们的奖赏应奠基於实力。”炫燿你如何进入长春藤名校或是目前职位将会使你的能力受到质疑。
