請求幫忙並不是錯事,不需要一開口就先「歹謝」。
△ Can you help me?(太直接)
△ Sorry for bothering you, but I need help.(太禮貌)
O Will you help me with this?(正常詢問)
O I need your help.(對熟人)
O Could you do me a favor?(禮貌)
美國人習慣插話不是因為沒禮貌,是他們的文化鼓勵每個人勇於表達,從不插話反而會被認為你參與性很低或是根本沒有想法。記得抓準時機,適時插話!
△ I totally agree with you.(話題終止)
△ I have come to the same conclusion.(話題終止)
O I love your idea but that’s not entirely true.(先認同,再延伸)
O Could I stop you there for a moment? I think…(禮貌性打斷,延續話題)
O While we're on that topic, I would like to add something here(補充意見)
