Laugh at Yourself
I’m a newspaper columnist and my husband is a politician, so both of us must be willing to converse with strangers when we’re eating out or shopping for groceries. In the rare moments when people are obnoxious (like the time a woman told me that I needed to get Botox), I can get impatient. But instead of being rude to the person, I formulate a joke, usually at my own expense.
自嘲
我是一名报纸的专栏作家,我的丈夫是一名政治家,所以当我们外出吃饭或买杂货时,我们俩必须愿意与陌生人交谈。在人们令人讨厌的那样为数不多的时候(就像有次一个女人告诉我需要去打肉毒杆菌),我可以不耐烦。但是除了粗鲁对人,我会编一个笑话,通常是自嘲。
Find a Distraction
Being out on the road for weeks on end can certainly test your patience. My wife and I—we drive as a team—have to deal with other drivers and the annoyances of traffic jams, and it’s natural to be anxious in these moments. We overcome that feeling by giving each other something else to think about. For example, my wife tells jokes and catches me up on the latest Facebook posts from friends. Or I’ll talk to my dogs (they also travel with us). Those quick moments of distraction recharge me, and I can again focus on the road without being irritated.
找到分心之处
在路上连续几周最终一定可以测试你的耐心。我和妻子——我们作为一个团队来开车,不得不与应对其他司机和恼人的交通堵塞,这种时候很自然会焦躁。我们通过让彼此思考其它一些东西来摆脱这种感觉。例如我的妻子会讲笑话,在脸谱网上朋友最新的帖子上了解我的近况。或者我会和我的狗说话(他们也和我们一起旅行)。那些分心的短暂时刻让我得到休整,我可以不发火地再次集中到路上。
