I know its not always easy being a Chowderhead, said Dad. Ive been a Chowderhead my whole life, and Ive been teased a lot. But you shouldnt change who you are. Let people get to know you first and your name later. 我知道作为乔德黑德家族的一员,有时候不是那么容易,爸爸说,我都姓了一辈子乔德黑德了,我也受到了很多嘲弄。但是你不应该因此而改变自己。你要让别人先了解你,然后才是你的名字。
How can people get to know me before they know my name? I asked. 别人怎么会在知道我叫什么名字之前就了解我呢?我问。
He said, Ask good questions. 他说:问些好问题。
I looked at him blankly. He went on, When you meet someone new, ask them a question. It cant be a mean question, and it has to be something that youre really curious about. Once people start talking about themselves, they dont judge you. Theyre just happy that someone is interested in what they have to say. 我一脸茫然地看着他。他接着说:当你结识新朋友的时候,问他们一个问题,但是不要问那种尖酸刻薄的问题,这个问题必须是你确实感到好奇的。一旦人们开始谈论他们自己,就不会去对你品头论足了。他们只会觉得开心,因为有人对他们要说的内容感兴趣。
