(Office ambience)
A：CH, What happened to you during your presentation?
C：你注意到什么了嗎？
A：You were doing a great job. You obviously had done extensive research. You had good materials. You were completely confident until half-way through.
C：這么說(shuō)你能看出我后半截很不自在？
A：Yes. You suddenly became unsure of your self.
C：唉，都是因?yàn)镸r. Stone, 上個(gè)月從紐約來(lái)的副總。
A：What about him?
C：他根本沒(méi)看我，一直在看其他文件。
A：Did you try to ignore that?
C：我也試著不去管他，可注意力就是集中不起來(lái)。
A：Did Mr. Stone do anything else?
C：他還在椅子上轉(zhuǎn)來(lái)轉(zhuǎn)去，不斷看窗外。
A：He's the key decision maker these days.
C：是啊，現(xiàn)在公司一切都是他說(shuō)了算，更糟糕的是，他剛剛讓秘書(shū)通知我，要找我談話。
A：Try not to let this upset you too much until you meet with him. Let me know what happens, will you?

陳豪下午去找Amy。
A：How did things go with Mr. Stone?
C：完全是虛驚一場(chǎng)。Mr. Stone還表?yè)P(yáng)我，說(shuō)我工作很有成績(jī)。
A：That's great.
C：看他早上開(kāi)會(huì)時(shí)的表現(xiàn)，難道我的擔(dān)心是多余的嗎？
A：You were reading his body language this morning and he clearly wasn't sending a positive message.
C：Body language? 肢體語(yǔ)言？
A：Words aren't the only way we communicate. We send messages with our bodies.
C：那Mr. Stone的肢體語(yǔ)言為什么跟他的想法不一樣呢？
A：Perhaps he was distracted or had something else on his mind. Evidently he was listening to you, but that is not the impression you got.
C：下次再遇到這種情況，我應(yīng)該怎么辦呢？
A：Normally, you could have stopped at that point and asked for questions or opinions, specifically addressing the person who didn't seem to be involved.
C：停下來(lái)征求意見(jiàn)和問(wèn)題？可Mr. Stone是老板?。?/font>
A：In this case, you were in a tough spot since he is the vice-president.
C：你別說(shuō)，有了這件事，我今后肯定會(huì)特別注意自己的肢體語(yǔ)言。
A：That's a good lesson for all of us. Too often we send nonverbal messages without being aware of how others interpret them.
C：這么說(shuō)來(lái)，很多誤解都是在不知不覺(jué)之中產(chǎn)生的。
A：Body language can be used to impress people or to turn them off. It is directly related to good manners if you think about it.
C：肢體語(yǔ)言怎么會(huì)跟一個(gè)人的禮貌和修養(yǎng)有關(guān)系呢？
A：Positive body language like giving someone your full attention and having a pleasant expression on your face are all part of showing courtesy and respect.
C：注意聽(tīng)別人講話本身就是對(duì)別人的尊重。
