英文中有些詞語可以分分鐘暴露你的不自信，千萬不能用哦！那麼，到底是哪些詞會讓人對你產生「不自信」的印象呢？一起來看看吧！
1. Might
Be careful when you tell people you "might" do something. Are you sure about that? No one is asking you to solve world peace. When you say you "might" finish a report, it implies you lack some ability, don't manage your time well, or have too many priorities.
當你告訴別人『可能』做某事時要小心。你真的確定嗎？沒有人讓你去維護世界和平。當你說你『可能』完成了一份報告，這就意味著你能力不足，不能有效地管理時間，或者有過多要處理的事情。
I might take the college entrance test.
我或許會參加高考。
I might fail.
我可能考不上。
I might just forget about college.
上大學這件事兒我還是別想了。
工作計劃、學習安排、還有未來的打算，但凡跟might這個詞扯上關係，八成你是實現不了了。因為might正好透露了你沒目標、沒方向，或者壓根就不在乎的小心思。靠譜一點的做法是直截了當地說Yes或No。就算不太肯定，用maybe也行啊~ 只是別忘了給個最後期限，這樣才顯得自信有擔當！
Might is an ambivalent word that shows a lack of intention and direction. Using might on your weekly planning, daily to-do lists, or in response to others』 requests could result in tasks left undone. That’s precisely because in your thoughts and speech, you don’t appear to care either way. Go for a YES or NO. If you are not sure about whether or not to do a task, think 「maybe」 but give it a deadline and convert soon to a YES or NO. It’s not about saying yes all the time; it’s about making a decision either way. You move from not confident to decisive.
2. Won't
Here's an obvious word to avoid in your emails. Anyone who says he or she "won't" do something or "won't" attend a meeting is generating a negative vibe. Be more decisive: Either accept an invitation or reject it; using the word won't suggests hesitancy.
很顯然要在郵件中避免使用這個詞。那些說他或她『不會'做某事或』不會『參加會議的人是在製造一種消極的氛圍。要更堅定一些：要麼接受邀請要麼拒絕；用不會這個詞代表猶豫不決。
It won’t work.
這樣行不通。
I won’t be able to do that.
這個我做不來。
失敗主義者最愛won't這個詞。凡事還沒開始做，就先把過去的某些經歷搬出來，認為這回也一定不行。別總想著失敗啦！成功都是嘗試出來的！你可以說「That could work.（這個可能行。）」 或者 「Yes, I think I can do that. （是的，我想我可以。）」 要不了多久，你就會成為一個善於思考又自信的人。
Won’t is a defeatist word that assumes failure in a race even before the first step is taken. People who think and say this word often base their negative thinking on a couple of past experiences. When you conclude in your mind that a process, a project, or you will fail, that is exactly what will happen. Open your belief to the real probability of success with, 「That could work」 or, 「Yes, I think I can do that.」 As you become more optimistic, good results will start happening to move you from not confident to positive thinker.
3. Usually
This is a trigger word in email that makes it obvious to everyone that you don't have all the facts. If you say the accounting department "usually" doesn't approve your expense report or the boss is "usually" late to work, it means you're stretching the truth.
這個詞在郵件中會讓每個人認為你沒有掌握所有實際情況。若果你說財務部門』通常『不會通過你的支出報告或者老闆』通常上班遲到，這說明你在誇大事實。
This is usually the way we do it.
我們通常都是這樣做的。
I usually work better solo.
我通常喜歡單幹。
Usually是保守派的口頭禪，它不僅能抹殺掉各種美好的可能，還可以為自己的懶惰找到合理的藉口。別再躲避生活中的變化啦！你可以說：「We can try another way.（我們可以試試另一種方法。）」 或者「 I will take a chance working with this team.（我想試試和這個團隊一起合作。）」 之後，你就等著被自己強大的適應力和各種的新發現驚呆吧！
Usually is a status quo-type of word that accepts things as they are. Things are just that way, end of story. It’s a word that closes the door to finding newer, better ways of doing things. It’s sometimes used to justify laziness. Instead, think of alternatives, options, and new things. Be willing to think and say 「We can try another way」 or 「I will take a chance working with this team,」 and get ready to be surprised by your adaptability and other new discoveries. As new things become usual to you, your experience and expertise grows. And so does your confidence.
4. Suspect
Unless you are talking about a suspect in a trial, avoid saying you "suspect" anything. You're not Sherlock Holmes. Just use direct terms: You know an investor is pulling out of the project, and here's why; or you have facts to support your conclusion on a new marketing plan.
除非你在討論一個審判中的嫌疑人，否則不要說你『懷疑』某事。你不是福爾摩斯。就用那些直接的措辭：你知道投資者在退出項目，這是原因；或者你有證據支撐你對一項新市場計劃的結論。
I suspect there will be a company takeover.
我懷疑公司要被收購了。
I suspect there is a catch to their proposal offer.
我懷疑他們的提議另有隱情。
重重的疑慮只會讓人心生不安，還會影響到你的人際關係。快快把疑慮從你的言談中抹掉吧！勇敢接受你所看到的，好好想想怎樣交涉更有效。
Unlike the previous words, which mostly affects the speaker, suspect brings a shadow of suspicion on another person’s motive and sows intrigue and fear in others. Verbalizing your negative thinking contaminates those around you. It causes low morale and an air of distrust that affects relationships and productivity. Drop suspect altogether from your thoughts and speech. Stop judging, accept news and gestures at face value, and improve your interpersonal skills.
5. Impossible
I'll bet Mark Zuckerberg has never used the word impossible in an email. The recipient will lose confidence in you quickly. State why something might be hard or difficult or just don't agree to a course of action. Don't bother telling people it's impossible.
我敢肯定馬克扎克伯格從來沒在郵件中使用過不可能這個詞。收件人會立即對你失去信心。陳述一件事為什麼可能會很辛苦或困難，或者只是不同意某種做法。不要浪費時間告訴別人它是不可能的。
That’s impossible; it has never been done.
這不可能，這事兒沒人幹成過。
It’s impossible for me to work with [fill in person, task, or department].
讓我（跟某人或某個部門合作）、（完成某件工作），那不可能！
當你奮不顧身地提高了嗓門大喊一聲「Impossible」時，一扇通往成功的大門砰地一聲關上了。Impossible這個詞集悲觀與守舊兩種負能量於一身，時時刻刻幫你繞開各種可能。想改變自己的小夥伴們，不如讓你的話裡多些possible，從「not possible」開始，到「could be possible（或許行）」，再到「Yes, it can be done！（是的，這可以做到！）」 你將會有不同的感受。
Impossible combines the defeatism of won’t and the status quo of usually to firmly lock the door to new successes. The danger is in the passion you use when you say the word, often with a raised voice and a strong hand gesture. The stronger the feeling that is attached to a word, the surer and sooner it will manifest. As you continue to use impossible in your thoughts and words, you will notice less positive things happening in your life. From not confident, you could drop to outright fearful. Throw out impossible from your vocabulary. Shift to 「not possible」 and then to 「could be possible」 and finally to 「Yes, it can be done!」
6. Worried
We all worry about the stresses of life. Telling people you are worried by email makes it seem as if you lack confidence in your abilities. If you are worried, don't bother saying that to anyone--just express what you are concerned about and offer solutions.
我們都擔心生活中的壓力。告訴別人你為郵件感到憂慮表明你似乎對自己的能力缺乏自信。如果你感到擔憂，不需要告訴任何人—只需要表達你擔心什麼和提出解決措施。
I’m worried about my presentation.
我擔心我的演講。
I’m worried the client will not be satisfied.
我怕客戶不滿意。
很多的擔心害怕都來自不自信。擔心中間出狀況，害怕結果不理想——這些只能讓你的精力都集中在負面的假設中，而無暇顧及當下的事情。如果你無法往好的地方想，那麼就全力以赴做好手頭的事情吧！
Worried is the reason people are not confident. Being worried comes from imagining a bad or worst case scenario. Its two components are (1) thinking ahead and (2) fearing a negative outcome. When you find yourself thinking ahead to the day of your presentation or project submission, summon a positive image of a supportive audience and an impressed client. Smile, hear the audience applauding, and feel the firm handshake of your happy client. If you are unable to imagine a positive image, then focus only on the present moment as you complete the project and prepare for the presentation.
7. Confused
Expressing your confusion will create even more confusion. It's better to just say what you are confused about and ask questions. Saying you are "confused" gives people the impression that either you don't understand something or that the topic is confusing to you.
表露你的困惑會產生更多的困惑。更好的做法是說出你困惑然後提出問題。表達你很『困惑'給別人留下的印象是要麼有些事你不明白或者這個話題使你迷惑。
I’m confused about my team leader’s work expectations.
我搞不懂領導想做什麼。
I’m confused if he wants to seriously continue this relationship.
我就納了悶兒了，他到底想不想認真地繼續這段關係？
模稜兩可的狀況和不戰而敗的態度總會讓人困惑不已。不明確工作目標，你如何知道下一步該做什麼？不清楚自己在一段關係中位置，又怎能知道內心是否堅定？逃避掉種種問題，最後就只剩下一聲confused。最好的辦法就是先搞清狀況，之後自信滿滿地做你該做的事。
Sometimes, a confusing situation is to be blamed for the ambivalence of might and the defeatist attitude of won’t. If you don’t know what your work objective is, you won’t be able to take steps to get there. If you don’t know how you stand in a relationship, you won’t know how committed you can be. Get yourself out of the confusion to a place of clear understanding by speaking to your team leader or your significant other. Ask clear, direct questions. Explain you want to understand their expectations so you can act accordingly, from not confident to sure of yourself.
8. Need
We all have needs in life. When you express those needs by email over and over again, it makes you look needy. I "need" you to come to work early, I "need" you to get that report done. Avoid saying "need" and express requirements more directly.
我們在生活中都有需求。當你重複在郵件中表達這些需求的時候，會使你看起來不自信。我』需要『你早點來上班，我』需要『你完成這份報告。不要說』需要『，而是更直接的表達要求。
I need to buy expensive suits before I go to any job interview.
去面試前，我得買件貴點兒的西裝。
I need to be sure there is no risk of getting turned down before I ask her out.
約她出來前，我得確保她不會拒絕我。
Need這個詞就是夢想的終結者，它只會讓人不斷拖延想做的事，並且為失敗尋找藉口。失敗了還可以繼續再戰，何必考慮那許多沒用的條件？有時過程比結果更重要。當你不再糾結於結果時，你會發現其實你並不需要那麼多的條件。
Need acts like a stalling tactic and a justification for failing. It’s also a dream stopper. It’s you setting up conditions—which are often unnecessary—for you to succeed. It’s better to try and fail, than to fail to try. The experience of engaging in an action or a relationship is far more important than the result. When you are not too attached to the results, you actually don’t need much to start.
9. Quandary
Have you sent a message and said you were in a "quandary"? You should know that the word means you are in a total state of perplexity. I mean, you are really perplexed. That's not often the case when it comes to a new business proposal or fundraising round.
你是否在郵件中說過自己』左右為難』？你應該知道這個詞意味著你在一種完全困惑的狀態。我的意思你真的不知所措。但在一份新的商業提案或融資過程中通常不是這種情況。
10. Likely
Few of us are in the business of predicting the future. If you say something is "likely" in an email, you are expressing to the recipient that you are not really sure about the topic, and you don't have all the facts yet. It's likely that you just lack confidence.
幾乎沒有人從事預測未來的的工作。如果你在郵件中說一件事『貌似』，你就是在向收件人表達你對這個話題並不確定。，而且你還沒有掌握所有情況。你可能只是缺乏自信。
