Fall in love with a word or expression and not only do other people tire of it, they start to hear nothing else. Then whatever you hoped to get across gets lost as they think, “Oh jeez, for once could he leave out the ‘that’s neither here nor there’”?
当你爱上使用某个词或是表达方式的时候,人们不但会对它感到厌烦,他们也开始听不进别的东西。于是,不管你希望让他们明白什么,他们都不会听进去。“噢天哪,他什么时候可以不要说‘非此即彼’这个词了啊。”
Ask someone if you overuse a word, phrase, or figure of speech. At first they’ll look uncomfortable and try to avoid answering. Insist.
问问别人你有没有过度使用一个词、句子、或是修辞。一开始他们会觉得不舒服,并且尝试不作回应,坚持听下去。
Eventually they’ll tell you, and I guarantee you’ll never do it again.
但最终他们一定会告诉你,而且我保证你永远都不会再那么做了。
6. The Double Name: Using a person’s name twice (worst case using your own name twice) in the same sentence as a way to justify unusual or unacceptable behavior.
6.两次提到同一个名字:在一句话中两次提到一个人的名字(最糟糕的情况是两次提到你自己的名字),期望以此来纠正别人反常的或是令你无法接受的行为。
Typical usage: “What can I say?" Shrug. "That’s just Joe being Joe.” (Worse, “Hey, that’s just me being me.”)
