Aubrey: 在日常交流中,我很少直接命令别人做什么,那样显得过于生硬。我更倾向于使用请求或询问的方式,这样既能达到目的,又能保持良好的沟通氛围。例如,我会说“你能帮我做...吗?”,而不是直接说“你去做...” 这种方式在英语中同样适用,通过使用一些特定的短语和表达方式,可以有效地柔化语气,使交流更加顺畅和愉快。 Lindsay: 我认为在英语交流中,使用“make sure”这样的短语,有时反而会使语气显得更加强硬和带有命令的意味。例如,直接说“Don't bore your friends”可能比说“Make sure you don't bore your friends”更柔和。因此,在选择使用这些柔化语气的短语时,需要仔细斟酌,确保它们能够真正起到缓和语气、增进交流的作用,而不是适得其反,使对方感到不悦或不适。
