Here are some handy tips on how to get out of an argument with your grace intact. 以下是一些可行的建议,帮你优雅地争吵,还不伤感情。 1. Ask Whether The Issue Really Merits Getting Angry 1.问问自己这件事是否真的值得生气 Most of the time, arguments happen because one person’s pride is in the way. But look at it this way: It doesn’t make sense to devote two hours to arguing about whose home city has the better pizza! Swallowing your pride is an option. 大多数时候发生争吵都是因为一个人的自尊心在作祟。但你可以从这个角度考虑:花两个小时争论谁家乡的披萨更好吃一点意义都没有!你可以选择收起你的骄傲。 2. Postpone The Argument If Necessary 2.如果有必要就稍后再吵 When you feel yourself getting irate, stop and ask yourself if you can put off this discussion. If you’ve just got back from an exhausting day at the office, or are tired or hungry, try and put off your disagreement. 你感觉自己生气时就停下来问问自己是否能稍后再讨论,如果你刚从办公室回来筋疲力尽、或者累了饿了,尽量先搁置争议。 3. Don’t Hit Below The Belt 3.不要恶语伤人 It’s tempting to bring up old arguments or issues in the relationship when you want to score points. But don’t do it. Keep your focus on the immediate issue, don’t expand the arena of the fight, and this will prevent the disagreement from going into any dark places. |
