How to deal with difficult people?

如何和难处的人打交道？

Place a Time Limit on How Long They Can Vent

允许对方发泄，但设定时间限制

Listening, however, doesn't mean you have to listen for hours on end.

倾听并不表示你必须牺牲几个小时来听对方诉说。

Instead, place a time limit on how long you're willing to listen to difficult people vent. Allowing them to repeat themselves over and over isn't likely to be helpful in diffusing the situation.

当对方发泄时，试着设定时间限制，表明自己只能忍受多久；不要纵容对方喋喋不休抱怨，这对处理问题毫无益处。

Make it clear that you've heard what they have to say and that you don't want to be subjected to hearing all their complaints over and over. Instead, try to move the conversation forward in a direct, yet polite manner.

明确告诉对方：你已经知道他们说的是什么，不想遭受怨言的反复轰炸。直接而礼貌地将话题引开。
