1.Disarm them with your vulnerability 1.示弱让他们放松警惕 Sometimes the quickest way to make another person comfortable is to be vulnerable yourself. On a flight? Tell your seatmate, “Flying makes me a little nervous.” 有时让别人舒服的最快方法就是示弱。坐飞机时可以告诉同座的乘客“坐飞机我有点紧张。” 2. Be brutally honest 2.敢说真话 I find that being honest is best as it doesn’t waste anyone’s time. 我发现诚实最好,因为不浪费任何人的时间。 3. Tell them their celebrity doppelganger 3.说别人长得像名人 “Did anyone ever tell you that you look just like Sophia Vergara? ” This approach is always effective and the person on the receiving end will say thank you. “有人跟你说过你长得像Sophia Vergara吗?”这个说法总是很有效,对方还会说谢谢。 4. ‘Cheers’ them 4.跟他们干杯 If you are in a bar and looking for an excuse to talk to someone, just go up and raise your glass and say “cheers!”This is effective because it’s non-threatening. 如果你在酒吧想找理由跟别人搭讪,就走过去举起杯说“干杯!”,这招很有效,因为没有威胁性。 5. Size them up 5.让他们帮你量尺寸 People love to be seen as useful. For instance, if you’re shopping ask them what they think of a fit because the person you’re buying for is about their size. |
