THE SILENT COMPETITION

沉默的竞争

Do you have a competitive colleague who usually keeps you at arm's length?

你是否有个和你有竞争关系，平时很疏远你的同事？

Asking engaging questions is by far the best approach here. How about asking why they decided to attend or what they're looking forward to that week?

问一些有关参加聚会的问题最好不过了。比如，问问对方为什么决定参加？或者那一周有什么期待？

Keep things short and sweet and don't fall into the trap of talking too much. Sometimes it is wise to mirror the other person's pace of conversation.

对话要简洁明了，千万不要说太多。谈话节奏跟着对方来是很聪明的做法。

If you are met with out and out silence, then at least you've tried. Never feel awkward about silence, conversation is a two-way street but it helps to have some conversation points prepared in case.

如果遇到冷场，那至少你已经尝试过了。不要对冷场感到尴尬，谈话是双向沟通，但提前准备好想说的话很管用。

THE STRANGER

陌生人

In large companies you might find yourself thrown together with people you've never met or barely spoken to before.

在大公司里，你会发现自己在聚会上遇到了陌生同事，或者几乎没说过话的同事。
