「小朋友,
你是否有很多問號?」
生活中,有很多「?」
可不只是小朋友
而且有些「?」
真的很不可愛!
難受的是有些問題不得不回答
下面是一些小沃給出的一些小技巧
來幫助你「躲過」這些問號
01.Answer part of the question 回答問題的一部分
「I appreciate that this is of interest, right now.」
「我很感激你現在對這個很感興趣。」
If you don’t want to answer the entire question, find a part that you can address.
如果你不想回答整個問題,那就找一個你能回答的部分。
You can say, 「I appreciate that this is of interest, right now.」 And then briefly answering part of the question may be enough to assuage and satisfy them.
你可以說:「我很感激你現在對這個很感興趣。」然後簡短地回答一部分問題可能就足以安撫和滿足他們了。
entire /nta/ 全部的;整個的
appreciate /pri:iet/ 感激;欣賞
be of interest 感興趣
assuage /swed/ 平息;使安靜
02.Turn around the pronoun 轉換代詞
「It’s interesting that you think that, and why is this question of interest to you?」
「你這樣想很有趣,那你為什麼會對這個問題感興趣?」
The difference between giving a good answer and a better answer could simply be your use of pronouns.
給出一個好的回答和一個更好的回答之間的區別可能只是你使用代詞的不同。
You can focus on other people. For example, you can say, 「It’s interesting that you think that, and why is this question of interest to you?」 Changing 「I」 to 「you」 can take the focus off of you.
你可以「關注他人」,例如,你可以說,「你這樣想很有趣,那你為什麼會對這個問題感興趣?」把「我」』換成「你」會把注意力從你身上分散開。
pronoun /prnan/ 代詞
take off /teik f/ 使……離開
03.Divert the question 轉移的問題
「What I think you really want to know is…」
「我認為你真正想知道的是……」
You can also resolve the situation by diverting to a different topic
你也可以通過轉移話題來解決問題
says Eldonna Lewis-Fernandez, author of Think Like a Negotiator: 50 Ways to Create Win-Win Results by Understanding the Pitfalls to Avoid. 「Say, 『What I think you really want to know is…』」 she says.
《像談判者一樣思考:通過理解要避免的陷阱來創造雙贏的50種方法》一書的作者Eldonna Lewis-Fernandez提到:「你可以說,『我認為你真正想知道的是……」
divert /dav:t/ 使轉移
resolve /rzlv/ 使消釋;使分解
negotiator /ngiet/ 磋商者;交涉者
pitfall /'ptf:l/ 陷阱
04. the asker some control 給請求者一些控制權
「I understand you’re frustrated. Would it be helpful if I shared someinformation about that?」
「我知道你很沮喪。如果我能分享一些相關信息會有幫助嗎?」
Tough questions tend to be emotional. Give the other person control over the conversation.
棘手的問題往往是情緒化的。讓對方控制談話
You can say, 「I understand you’re frustrated. Would it be helpful if I shared some information about that?」 This gives the person control over the conversation, and he or she will automatically calm down.
你可以說,「我知道你很沮喪。如果我能分享一些相關信息會有幫助嗎?」這會讓對方控制談話,他或她會自然平靜下來。
frustrated /frstretd/ 挫敗的,失意的
automatically /:t'mtkl/ 無意識地;不自覺地
