(单词翻译:单击)

Sorry. Murder is not an option.
歉,谋杀(室友)是禁止的。

Step 1: Confront the problem
Let the person know you’re unhappy. He may not be aware he’s doing things that bug you.

第一步:勇敢地面对问题
让室友知道你并不快乐。也许他并没有意识到他所做的事打扰了你。

Step 2: Get feedback
Ask him what you do that annoys him. This way, he won’t feel he’s being attacked.

第二步:得到反馈信息。
询问室友你做的事那些打扰了他。这样做,他不会感到受到了冒犯。

Step 3: Negotiate
Negotiate. Tell him that if he stops blowing his nose in the dishtowels, you’ll stop doing yoga in the nude.

第三步:协商。
协商。告诉他如果他停止用毛巾擦鼻涕,你就停止裸身做瑜伽。

Step 4: Set some rules
Decide on some house rules, like how loudly and when music can be played; how often friends can come over and/or sleep over; how clean the bathroom and kitchen should be, and how to handle offensive smells in those rooms.

第四步:制定一些规则。
制定一些规则。比如什么时候放音乐,音量应该放多大。朋友来拜访或来睡觉的次数;洗漱室和厨房应能保持的清洁程度,以及如何处理这些房间中的刺鼻气味。

Tip:Consider drawing up a “roommate contract” that spells out the house rules. Many colleges now require them for dorm mates.
小贴士:考虑起草一份包含房屋规则的“室友协定”,很多大学都让学生住集体宿舍。

Step 5: Alter your schedule
Adjust your schedule to minimize the time you’re together. For example, make plans to go out on evenings he’s planning to kick back at home.

第五步:改变你的时间表。
调整你的时间表,尽可能较少你们在一起的时间。比如:当他打算在宿舍中休息的晚上,你可以制定一些室外的计划。

Step 6: Kill him with kindness
Kill him with kindness. Bring home the cookies he likes; offer to wash the dishes when you know he’s running late; make him chicken soup when he’s sick. If you change your attitude, he might do the same.

第六步:用你的关怀俘获他
用你的关怀俘获他。带会一些他喜欢的饼干;当你知道他要迟到时主动去洗碗;当他生病时,为他煮鸡汤。如果你改变态度,他也可能改变态度。

Step 7: Terminate the agreement
Still not getting along? Take steps to terminate the arrangement, whether that means speaking to a Residence Assistant about getting a new roommate, or asking your landlord if you can break your lease.

第七步:终止协定
还是无法相处?那就分步骤来终止协定,无论那是否意味着和住宿管理员交谈申请调换新的室友,或是询问房东你是否能终止租房。
