音频讲解
Speaking 说话 (2)
If there’s a lull in the conversation (a pause in the conversation) ask the other person a question about themselves.如果对话中有一个停顿(谈话中的停顿),问对方一个关于他们自己的问题。
If you tell a story, don’t go on and on (talk too much) - remember that you’re having a brief chat(a quick conversation); you’re not making a speech. 如果你讲一个故事,不要没完没了(说太多)——记住你只是在进行一个简短的对话(一个快速的对话);你不是在做演讲。
Be careful about cracking jokes – you might end up having to apologize profusely(apologize many times) if the person is offended. 开玩笑的时候要小心——如果对方被冒犯了,你可能要不停地道歉(道歉很多次)。
Having good communication skills can really improve your relationships. People appreciate it when you get straight to the point (talk directly about the essential message) rather than dropping hints(trying to communicate very indirectly). 有良好的交流技能真的可以改善你的人际关系。人们欣赏你开门见山(直接谈论重要的信息)而不是暗示(试图非常间接地交流)。
Of course, nobody trusts a person who tells lies (says things that aren’t true) or stretches the truth (exaggerates and distorts the facts). If you always tell the truth, then people know they can count on you when you give your word(make a promise or statement of the truth). 当然,没有人会相信一个说谎(说不真实的事情)或夸大事实(夸大或扭曲事实)的人。如果你总是说实话,那么人们就知道当你做出承诺时他们可以信赖你。
