溝通的基礎

authentic: known to be real and what somebody claims it is and not a copy

evident: clear; easily seen

instinct: a natural quality that makes people and animals tend to behave in a particular way using the knowledge and abilities that they were born with rather than thought or training

caustic: critical in a bitter or sarcastic way

sarcasm: a way of using words that are the opposite of what you mean in order to be unpleasant to somebody or to make fun of them

square with: to make two ideas, facts or situations agree or combine well with each other; to agree or be consistent with another idea, fact or situation

pertain to: to be connected with something/somebody

desperately: in a way that shows you have little hope and are ready to do anything without worrying about danger to yourself or others

    If you want to be really effective in the habit of interpersonal communication, you cannot do it with technique alone. You have to build the skills of empathic listening on a base of character that inspires openness and trust.

    真正有效的溝通源自於我們內在的品格和真實的關心。當我們以真誠的態度傾聽他人，理解他們的感受和觀點，就能建立更深層的連結。
