Just Do It!
If you put off things for too long,they can easily become uncontrollable.The longer you wait to tackle a problem,the more difficult it becomes. Don’t waste time thinking about how difficult something is. Just take the advice in this passage.
Many people put off tomorrow what they can do today.They always look for excuses to postpone doing something.In the end,it never gets done. If we leave things undone ,we will eventually worry.This will cause unnecssary stress. Therefore,if you have this bad habit,it’s best to get rid of it and do things as soon as possible.

事情一旦被拖得太久就会变得难以控制。问题拖得越久,就越难以解决。所以,不要把时间浪费在考虑某事到底有多难,从这篇短文接受忠告!
很多人把今天能做的事推到明日,他们总是找借口拖延做事。到头来,事情总是没做完。如果我们没有把事做完,我们心里会感到忐忑不安,从而造成不必要的压力。因此,如果你有这种坏习惯的话,最好是将它客服,尽快把事情做好。
【李阳老师痛定思痛】我因为有“拖延”的恶习,才使我的成功大打折扣。我是“拖延”这个坏习惯的受害者。因为拖延,我的疾病不能得到即使治疗。因为拖延,我今天能做的事而没有做。明日复明日,明日何其多;我生待明日,万事成蹉跎。这篇文章是我的最爱,我几乎每天都要读一遍。

如果你不明白的话,一定要毫不迟疑的发问。有些中国人以为是提问题是不礼貌的,即使在他们不是十分明白的时候。然而,你直言不懂比假装而含糊地回答要来的好。当你不明白或弄不清对方说什么是,你可以用以下方式来提问:
“你能再说一遍吗?”
“我没听清你说什么。”
“恐怕我不明白你的意思。你介意再说一次吗?”
“ 很抱歉我不明白你的意思。”
“你能重复一遍吗?”

第18篇 误解
【疯狂星级】★★★★四星级?大学四六级?国际商务级
【疯狂短评】
吃饭的时候,中国人总是很热情地为客人添菜。对于客人来说,夹到碗里的菜,即使自己不喜欢吃,但出于礼貌还是要吃下去。这常常令很多外国朋友感到尴尬。而另一方面,中国人常常婉言谢绝人家给他的食物和饮料,即使事实上他还饿着或渴着。这在外国人看来觉得很不思议。不同文化的差异就是这样,避免误解最好的方法就是学习,从而能真正做到“入乡随俗。”
Misunderstanding
Eating is always a learning experience in a new culture.Here are some differences between American and Chinese dining cultures.
I must put in a few words about my experience here in China.If I have dinner with a Chinese host,he always pressess more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it of the previous helping.That often makes me feel very awkward.I have to eat the food even it I don’t feel like it,because it is considered bad manners in the west to leave one’s food on the plate.I have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American party,he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty.This might be good manners in China,bot it is defi-nitely not in the west,In the Unitrd States,it is impolite to keep asking someone again or pgain or press something,on him.Americans are very direct.If they want something,they will ask for it.If not,they will say,”No,thanks.”

在一个陌生的文化中,吃饭往往是一种值得学习的经验。以下是中美饮食文化之间的一些差异。
这里我得先讲一讲自己在中国的经验。倘若我与中国主人一起用餐,我刚吃完前一次夹给我的菜,他总是马上又在我的碟子里堆上更多的菜。这常常使我感到尴尬,即使是我不愿吃的食物,我也得吃。因为在西方,碟子里剩下食物是不礼貌的。我注意到,当以为中国人坐在美国人举行的宴席上,他常常推辞递给他的食物和饮料,尽管事实上他还饿着或渴着。在中国,这样做可能是得体的举止,但在西方,着绝对

不是。在美国,不停的问人家要不要食物,或强塞食物给某人是不礼貌的。美国人很直率,如果他们想要什么,他们会提出。如果不想要,他们就会说:“不,谢谢。”

每一种文化都有一些禁忌的话题,忌讳的话题往往会使人尴尬。美国人对自己的体重特别敏感。所以,和美国人交往时,避免这些敏感的话题就显的十分重要。学过英语的人见到美国人时,如果还说“噢,你看起来像是重了几磅”这样的话,说明他的英语功力还不够深厚,还需要大大加强。

如果你提出一个令人尴尬的话题,通常整个房间会变得鸦雀无声。这种令人不自在的安静很容易使你失去信心。读读这篇短文,知道哪些话题应该避免,你将获得比别人更多的优势。
忌讳的话题往往会使人尴尬。哪些话题是我们不该与美国人谈论的呢?
体重是最敏感的话题之一。在美国,体重超标是一件让人极为难堪的事,甚至是一种罪过。美国人很关心体重,且极少披露他们的体重。所以,你还是不过问为妙。但如果你非得要讲,那就说“哦,你看起来像是减了几磅”,这远比 “哦,你看起来像是胖了一些”要稳妥得多。然而,如果你想说实话但又不想上别人的心,那么你在用词时应该谨慎一点,或许可以说:“嘿‘你看起来棒极了。很健康。”千万记住要让对方相信,那不是脂肪,而是肌肉。
