How to Improve Your Conversation Skills (part 4 of 6)
如何提升你的會話技巧 (六段中的第四段)
When you hit a traffic jam in your conversation, you can find a way around it. Here are a few ideas:
When you don't understand—"Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn't catch it."
When the speaker talks too fast—"Could you speak more slowly, please?"
When you don't agree—"I'm not sure I can agree."
When you want to change the subject—"By the way . . . " or "Speaking of . . ."
當在對話中發生了「交通阻塞」，你可以找一個迂迴之法。
下面是幾個點子：
當你沒聽懂時——「抱歉，能否請你再說一遍，我沒聽懂。」
當說話者速度太快時——「能否請你說慢一點？」
你不同意時——「我不認為我同意你…」
你想換個話題時——「題外話…」或「說到…」
