How to Improve Your Communication Skills
如何改善人际交流能力
Ask Questions and Repeat the Other Person
问问题并重复他人的话
Let's face it, we've all drifted off when someone else was talking or misheard the other person.
让我们面对现实吧，当别人在说话时，我们都会走神或听错话。
Asking questions and repeating the other person's last few words shows you're interested in what they say, keeps you on your toes, and helps clarify points that could be misunderstood (e.g., "So to recap, you're going to buy the tickets for Saturday?").
问问题并重复他人最后说的几句话表明你对他们说的话感兴趣，这能帮你保持警觉，并有助于澄清容易误解的地方（比如，“也就是说，你想买周六的票？”）
It also helps for small talk and to fill in awkward silences.
这样也有助于闲谈，能使得沉默的时刻不那么尴尬。
Instead of trying to stir up conversation on mundane topics like the weather, ask the other person questions (e.g., "Got any plans for the summer?" or "What are you reading lately?") and engage in their answers.
除了可以用像天气这样单调的话题来展开谈话，也可以问别人一些问题。（比如，“夏天有什么计划？”或“最近在读什么书？”），并就他们的回答进一步展开。
It's more important to be interested than to be interesting.
感兴趣比有意思要重要得多。
