5. Be alert to verbal and nonverbal cues
注意口头及非口头暗示
90% of all communication is nonverbal, based upon eye contact, body language, facial expression, and unconscious gestures and motions. These cues, when taken with verbal indicators such as word choice, tone of voice, and overall “projection,” create communication. Look for people with positive, open body language. These people carry themselves with their heads erect and make direct eye contact. They don’t keep their hands in their pockets or move aside more than necessary to allow others to pass on the street. A smile could be an invitation to talk. Be ready to accept it!
按照眼神接触、肢体语言、面部表情和无意识动作来划分,90%的沟通是非口头的。这些再加上诸如用词、声调、总体“影射”等口头暗示,即构成了交流。寻找肢体语言积极开放的人,这些人往往昂头挺胸、不回避眼神直接接触;他们不会把手插在口袋里,或惶惶然给街上的人让路。一个微笑即表示愿意交谈,请接受吧!
