让谈话远离僵局的3个技巧
文章摘要：以提问的方式重复别人的最后一句话，这种技巧可以称之为“鹦鹉学舌”。因为每个人都喜欢就自己感兴趣的方面展开话题，如果你重复他们已经说的话，就等于为他们的个人爱好“煽风点火”。
1. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat 重复重复再重复
以提问的方式重复别人的最后一句话，这种技巧可以称之为“鹦鹉学舌”。因为每个人都喜欢就自己感兴趣的方面展开话题，如果你重复他们已经说的话，就等于为他们的个人爱好“煽风点火”。
Example:
You: What did you get up to on the weekend。
你：周末干嘛去了？
Him: Went to the ball game on Saturday.
他：周六去看球赛了。
You: You went to the game on Saturday?
你：你周六去看球赛啦？
Him: Yeh, I did, took my son along for his first game. But it was good to see my team win!
他：是啊，带我儿子去看了他人生第一场球赛。不过很高兴我们队获胜了！
You: So it was good to see the team win?
你：所以说球队获胜了让你很高兴吧？
Him: Yeh, they have been strugglinga lot lately, and had lots of injuries。
他：是啊，他们近期一直很努力，为此受了很多伤。
想想用这种办法你能聊多久！
2. Become a word spy 注意他人的用词
你需要注意听对方说到的一些词，然后锁定一个目标，作为接下去的问题或话题。
Example:
大多数人都遇到过那种说话只说几个字，看上去态度很粗鲁的人吧。
You: So been busy today?
你：今天很忙吧？
Him: Yes. (one word answer)
他：是。（一个字）
You: How's the weather today? Pretty wet, isn't it?
你：今天天气怎么样？挺潮湿的不是吗？
Him: Yes, but the farmers will stop complaining. (again in the rude voice)
他：是，但是农民们不会再抱怨了。（仍然是粗鲁的语气）
很多人大概会继续问些无聊的问题，但是你应该抓住他所提到的farmer这个词。
You: You know some farmers, don't you?
你：你认识一些农民不是吗？
Him: Yes, I actually grew up on a farm. (his tone of voice graduallystarting to change)
他：是啊，其实我在农场上长大。（语气逐渐转变）
You: So did I. Where was you farm?
你：我也是的。你家农场在哪儿？
从这里开始，对话就能继续进行下去了。
给大家的提示：人在交谈中遇到自己感兴趣的事物时，就不会用一两个字打发过去。你就需要去发现这一点，找到他们的兴趣所在，点燃谈话热情。
3. Eavesdrop偷听
这个技巧从字面本身就可以理解了吧，在你想要向陌生人（比如和你同一领域的商业大腕，想要认识的知名人士，甚至是可爱的女孩子）介绍自己时可以运用。你只需在一旁倾听他同别人都谈些什么，估测这人的兴趣所在。如果发现某个自己可以参与的话题，那就是你上场的时候了。
Example:
你听到他们说起法国之旅，你可以走过去说：
I couldn't help but overhearyou were going to head to Paris later in the summer, I am actually a big fan of the city and have been there several times myself.
我无意中听到你们说在夏天晚些时候要去巴黎，事实上我超喜欢那座城市，而且已经去过几次了。
这样就是一个很好的开始，而且足以让对话进行下去。
Overkill 夸张的想法
Larry和李华一起去参观艺术博物馆，他们会用到一个常用语：Overkill，这个词本来的意思是过度杀伤，现在引申为“夸张、过分的想法或行为”。
LH：Larry, 听我的没错吧。逛艺术博物馆比看电影强多了！
L: Well I agree. But the art museum would be even better if it served popcorn too!
LH：这倒也是，要是博物馆里也卖爆米花、热狗、啤酒，边逛边吃，那该有多舒服啊！
L: Hot dogs and beer? I don't know, Lihua. I think that might be overkill.
LH：Overkill是什么意思？
Overkill 夸张的想法
L: When you think that an idea goes too far, you can say that it is overkill.
LH：哦，overkill就是过份的想法或行为。你是说，在博物馆里卖爆米花似乎还不错，可如果连热狗和啤酒都一起卖就太夸张了。
L: That's right! Here is another example. Elliot's boss thought about firing him for being an hour late to work, but then decided that would be overkill.
LH：哦，Elliot迟到了一个小时，老板本来想因为这个而炒他的鱿鱼，不过后来觉得，这么做未免太过份了。对了，Larry，博物馆这么好，我们天天来这里逛如何？
L: Lihua, I really enjoy the art gallery, but coming here every single day would definitely be overkill.
LH：什么过份，你真没有艺术细胞！我的艺术气质比你浓多了，我在想我干脆去读个艺术史的博士好了。
L: Lihua, it's fine to enjoy art as a hobby, but I think getting a PhD in art history would really be overkill.
LH：呵呵，我开玩笑的。对了Larry，你还记得上次咱们去华盛顿看兵马俑展览么？
L: I sure do! That was one of my favorites.
LH：就是，多好看啊。可惜展出的只是一部分，要是所有兵马俑都到美国来展览就好了！
L; I don't know ... I was satisfied seeing just a few. I think bringing the entire collection here!would be overkill.
LH：才不会呢!要看就得看全的！那个气势，肯定不一样！我给你买张机票，你去中国看吧！
L: Lihua, it's nice that you're encouraging me to see the Teracotta Warriors, but buying me a plane ticket to China is definitely overkill!
