Jim: Why's that? How are you supposed to get to know someone if you don't ask what they think?
吉姆：这是为什么呢？如果你不询问他们的想法又怎么去了解他们呢？
Mary: You can ask about other kinds of things. You'll never know if the person you are talking to has the same ideas. If
they don't, they might get offended at your ideas or you might get offended at their ideas.
