Conversation Recall: Prove You're Paying Attention.

 

对话回想：证明你在注意听。

 

To really show someone you've been paying attention, try bringing up a topic that the person mentioned earlier.

 

为了真正表明你在注意听，你可以试着提出对方之前提过的话题。

 

Did your co-worker talk about working with his son on a science fair project last week?

 

你的同事谈论上周和他儿子一起参加科学展览了？

 

Follow up and ask how it went.

 

你可以接着这个话题问问他展览怎么样。

 

They don't have to be big, life-changing events. In fact, sometimes it says more that you can recall and show interest in even the small happenings in another person's life.

 

他们说的可能都不是威胁生命的大事，其实有时你能回忆起他们说的话、甚至对对方生活里的小事都感兴趣才更有说服力。
