?When people ask you a simple question, don't respond with the habitual one word.
?有人問你一個簡單問題時，不要習(xí)慣性地只回答一個字。

?When you are in social situations and you are scared of breaking the ice. Take a deep breath. Then say hello or hey there. Those two are the best ice breakers in the world.
?在社交場合你不敢打破沉默時，深呼吸，然后說“hello”或“hey”，這兩個詞是世界上打破沉默最好的詞。

?Always ask why. Asking why people make decisions is how you get to know them on an emotional level.
????????總要問為什么。問人們?yōu)槭裁醋瞿菢拥臎Q定可以使你在精神層面了解他們。

?Ask interesting questions. Ask creative questions such as - what's your story? What's the Craziest thing you have ever done?
????????問有趣的問題。問一些有創(chuàng)造力的問題，比如：你有什么故事？你做過什么最瘋狂的事？

?When you feel the awkward silence. Don't panic, just ask another question preferably what brought them there or their favorite type of music.
?當(dāng)你感覺沉默很尷尬時，不要慌，再問一個更合適的問題，比如他們?yōu)槭裁慈ツ莾夯蜃钕矚g什么類型的音樂。

????????上網(wǎng)調(diào)查一下你的談話對象。上谷歌調(diào)查他們，看看他們的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)頁面，找找有什么共有的內(nèi)容，你就能知道他們喜歡聊什么話題了。
