怎样有效转移话题

Answer and then immediately pivot. 回答问题后立刻转移话题。

If you can pivot to something people will want to talk about, so much the better.

奥普拉震撼全美的演讲,出乎意料的被喷了

Seal has lashed out at Oprah Winfrey following her inspirational Golden Globes speech, claiming she knew about the rumors surrounding Harvey Weinstein but did nothing.

奥普拉·温弗瑞在金球奖颁奖典礼上发表了鼓舞人心的演说之后，希尔却斥责她知道有关哈维·温斯坦的流言，但却什么都没做。

The talk show queen's widely-applauded speech on Sunday night focused on the plight of sexually abused women and the 'MeToo' movement. 星期天晚上，这位脱口秀女王发表的那番广受赞誉的演讲主要围绕着遭受性侵的女性们的困境以及“我也是”运动来展开的。

But Seal accused the media maven of being an example of 'sanctimonious Hollywood'.

然而，希尔却谴责这位传媒专家是“好莱坞中假装圣洁的人”。 He took to Instagram Wednesday, sharing a shot of Oprah with the disgraced producer at two events with a meme that read: 'When you have been part of the problem for decades... but suddenly they all think you are the solution.'

星期三他在Instagram上发布了奥普拉与那位声名狼藉的制片人在两次活动上的合照，并配文称：“几十年来你一直都是问题的一部分……而他们却突然都以为你是解决方案。”

The 54-year-old singer took it one step further, captioning the meme that Oprah knew about the sexual misconduct allegations against Weinstein, writing 'You'd heard the rumours but you had no idea he was actually serially assaulting young actresses who in turn had no idea what they were getting into. My bad.'

这位54岁的歌手进一步表示，奥普拉早就知道那些针对温斯坦性行为不端的

6 / 26

指控，并写道“你听说了那些流言，但你不知道他确实接连性侵了几位年轻的女演员，而这些女演员也不知道自己陷入了什么样的境遇。我的错。” He hash-tagged the post with '#SanctimoniousHollywood.' 他还为这个帖子加上了“好莱坞中假装圣洁的人”这样的标签

It is unclear if Seal could say with certainty that Oprah was aware of the varied claims againstWeinstein.

目前还不清楚希尔是否能确切地说明奥普拉知道针对温斯坦的各种控诉。 Oprah's speech at the Globes speech was likened to a campaign speech, which in turn sparkedthe reports that the former talk show queen is eyeing a potential presidential run in 2020.

奥普拉在金球奖颁奖典礼上的演说很像一次竞选演说，这也使有关报道称这位前脱口秀女王可能在考虑参加2020年总统大选。

The singer caught a good deal of backlash for his post, with many angered by Seal muddlingOprah's speech.

这位歌手因为他的帖子而遭到了大量抵制，许多人对于希尔混淆了奥普拉的演说而气愤不已。

Some questioned if Seal himself knew about the allegations against Weinstein.

一些人质疑希尔本人是否了解针对温斯坦的指控 ==

Eight Small Things People Use To Judge Your Personality

The human brain is hardwired to judge. This survival mechanism makes it very hard to meet someone without evaluating and interpreting their behavior.

While we tend to think that our judgments are based on the content of

7 / 26

conversations and other obvious behaviors, the research says otherwise. In fact, the majority of our judgments are focused on smaller, subtler things, such as handshakes and body language. We often form complete opinions about people based solely on these behaviors.

We are so good at judging other people’s personalities based on small things that, in a University of Kansas study, subjects accurately predicted people’s personality traits, such as extroversion/introversion, emotional stability, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness, simply by looking at pictures of the shoes they wore.

Our unconscious behaviors have a language of their own, and their words aren’t always kind. These behaviors have likely become an integral part of who you are, and if you don’t spend much time thinking about them, now is a good time to start, because they could be sabotaging your career. How you treat waiters and receptionists. How you treat support staff is so indicative of your makeup that it has become a common interview tactic. By gauging how you interact with support staff on your way in and out of the building, interviewers get a sense for how you treat people in general. Most people act the part when they’re speaking to the hiring manager or other “important” people, but some will pull a Jekyll and Hyde act the moment they walk out the door, treating others with disdain or indifference. Business lunches are another place this comes to light. No matter how nice you are to the people you have lunch with, it’s all for naught if those people witness you behaving badly toward others.

How often you check your phone. There’s nothing more frustrating than

8 / 26

someone pulling out their phone mid-conversation. Doing so conveys a lack of respect, attention, listening skills, and willpower. Unless it’s an emergency, it’s wise to keep your phone holstered. A study from Elon University confirms that pulling out your phone during a conversation lowers both the quality and quantity of face-to-face interactions. Repetitive, nervous habits. Touching your nails or face or picking at your skin typically indicates that you’re nervous, overwhelmed, and not in control. Research from the University of Michigan suggests that these nervous habits are indicative of a perfectionistic personality, and that perfectionists are more likely to engage in these habits when they’re frustrated or bored. How long you take to ask questions. Have you ever had a conversation with someone where they talked about themselves the entire time? The amount of time someone allows to pass before they take an interest in you is a strong personality indicator. People who only talk about themselves tend to be loud, self-absorbed “takers.” People who only ask questions and share little about themselves are usually quiet, humble “givers.” Those who strike a nice balance of give-and-take are reciprocators and good conversationalists.

Your handshake. It’s common for people to associate a weak handshake with a lack of confidence and an overall lackadaisical attitude. A study at the University of Alabama showed that, although it isn’t safe to draw assumptions about someone’s competence based on their handshake, you can accurately identify personality traits. Specifically, the study found that a firm handshake equates with being less shy, less neurotic, and more

9 / 26

extroverted.

Tardiness. Showing up late leads people to think that you lack respect and tend to procrastinate, as well as being lazy or disinterested. Contrary to these perceptions, a San Diego State University study by Jeff Conte revealed that tardiness is typically seen in people who multitask, or are high in relaxed, Type B personality traits. Conte’s study found that Type B individuals are often late because they experience time more slowly than the rest of us. Bottom line here is not to read too much into people showing up late. It’s better to ask what’s behind it than to make assumptions. Handwriting. There are all manner of false stereotypes attempting to relate your handwriting to your personality. For example, people believe that how hard you press down on the paper relates to how uptight you are, the slant of your writing indicates introversion or extroversion, and the

neatness/sloppiness of your writing reveals organizational tendencies. The research is inconclusive at best when it comes to handwriting and personality. If you have an important letter to write, I’d suggest sticking to the keyboard to keep things neutral.

Eye contact. The key to eye contact is balance. While it’s important to maintain eye contact, doing so 100% of the time is perceived as aggressive and creepy. At the same time, if you only maintain eye contact for a small portion of the conversation, you’ll come across as disinterested, shy, or embarrassed. Studies show that maintaining eye contact for roughly 60% of a conversation strikes the right balance and makes you come across as interested, friendly, and trustworthy.

Bringing It All Together

Sometimes the little things in life make a big difference. It’s good to be ready for them, so that you can make a strong impression.

Degrees to make you rich 英国：学历和收入之间的关系

上大学获取一个学位可不是件容易的事。大多数人相信，获得大学文凭对一名毕业生的未来职业发展必有帮助。但这一纸文凭究竟有那么管用吗？学生所学习的专业会影响其未来的就业和收入吗？本集《随身英语》讨论在英国，学历和收入之间的关系。 课文内容

Vocabulary: Education 词汇: 教育

What's the point of studying?! It's something you might ask yourself if you're studying for a degree and you're struggling to complete

an assignment or sweating it out in an exam, especially if your friends seem to be out having a good time, or are working and earning lots of money.

Many of us choose to go to university as a first step towards a good career but sometimes that career is hard to achieve

and graduates end up doing something they are overqualified for. The Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development says that with the spiralling costs of university, students need to ask themselves whether

11 / 26

a degree path is the best route into a career. It says there is a need for much better career advice and guidance, alongside high-quality alternative vocational routes into employment other than university education.

But other new research commissioned for the BBC, says that a degree will, in the long run, earn you more. However there are differences in your earning potential. Dr Jack Britton from the Institute for Fiscal Studies says that \Russell Group universities earn an average of ￡33,500 after five years - about 40% more than those who studied at other universities.\

However, it found it's not just the location but other factors than can play a part in what you can earn, such as the subject a student chooses to study. It discovered that five years after graduation, the income gap between students who studied the subjects that attract the highest and lowest salaries can be considerable. Graduates in subjects such

as law, medicine and dentistry tend to do well. And as they progress, the pay gap between these careers and others, such as the creative arts, widens. There are other factors too that influence what you might earn: Five years after graduation, men earn on average, 14% more than women. Also, a student's social background can have an effect, with those from better-off households much more likely to go to university and particularly a good one.

But if you still feel university delivers the best opportunities then there are encouraging words from Alistair Jarvis, head of Universities UK, who told BBC News that \graduates are half as likely to be unemployed as non-graduates. There are

12 / 26

many many good graduate outcomes coming from universities.\all that studying is worth it – after all 'no pain, no gain'! ==

中年换工作？这几个错误千万不能犯

The 7 worst mistakes you can make during a career change

人到中年改行绝不是件容易的事，你不但要进行充分的调查研究，还要积累足够的职场人脉，根据目标职位升级文凭、调整简历，而且最好不要裸辞 Changing careers is never easy—but it is absolutely possible. Just because you're on a dedicated career path doesn't mean you have to stay on it forever.

换工作从来不是件容易事——但绝对是可能做到的。只是因为你一直以来都坚持某条职业道路,不意味着你永远要做这个工作。

Sure, your family and friends may think you've lost your marbles when you announce plans for a midlife career change, but take heart: 59% of working adults say they're interested in taking the leap, according to a recent survey from the University of Phoenix School of Business.

诚然，在你宣布中年改变职业的计划时，你的家人和朋友也许会认为你是失去理智了，但是不要失去信心：菲尼克斯大学商学院最近的调查显示，59%的在职成年人表示有兴趣挑战一下自己，换一份工作。

Whether you're bored at work, burned out on a job, or simply want a fresh challenge, there are a number of considerations that go into a successful career change.

无论现在的工作是让你感到无聊，还是筋疲力尽，或者仅仅是想要一个全新的挑战，这里有几个需要考虑的因素，帮助你成功改变职业。 1. Making a rash decision 错误一：草率做决定

13 / 26

Before changing occupations, you should do a deep dive to assess why you want to leave your current one. \why you're dissatisfied and what's going to make you more satisfied going forward,\

在换工作前，你应该深度分析一下为什么你想离开目前的工作。职业转换教练黛博拉?欧伦齐欧说：“你需要花些时间，想明白为什么你对现在的工作不满，接下来换什么样的工作才能让你更满意。”

Ask yourself why you're unhappy—and answer honestly. You may simply be having a bad week or a bad month—or you may just hate your boss, not your industry.

问你自己为什么不开心——然后诚实地做出回答。你也许只是这一星期或一个月过得很糟糕——或者你只是讨厌你的上司，而不是讨厌这一行。 \an executive coach and staffing consultant. \something, not running away from something.\

执行教练、招聘顾问兰迪?布洛克说：“我们在工作中都会经历不开心的时期。你应该是朝着某个目标前进，而不是逃离某种东西。” 2. Choosing a new career based on salary 错误二：依据薪水来选新职业

You obviously need to be financially strategic when choosing your next career, but don't base your decision solely on earning potential.

在选择下一个职业时，显然你需要有经济方面的考量，但是不要只依据收入来做决定。

\strengths, you're not going to be happy,\happy being paid more money to do a job you aren't into? Maybe at first,

14 / 26

but the novelty will likely wear off sooner than later.

霍利?根瑟说：“如果你选择了一份和你的兴趣、价值观或优势不相符的高收入工作，你不会快乐的。”做一份你不喜欢但薪水更高的工作，你会开心吗？也许一开始会开心，但是这种新鲜感迟早会消退的。

It's not that you should disregard salary when evaluating your options, but you must consider other important factors—like work-life balance and room for growth—in addition to compensation.

这里不是说，你在衡量选择的时候不应该考虑薪水，而是你在收入之外还必须考虑其他重要因素——比如工作和生活的平衡，还有发展空间。 3. Not researching the job market in your next field 错误三：不对目标行业的就业市场进行调查

Not sure what field you want to go into? Research industries and positions to find a good match for your skills and career goals, Genser says. Otherwise, you're throwing darts in the dark.

不确定自己想入哪一行？根瑟说，你必须调查各个行业和职位来找到适合你技能和职业目标的工作。否则，你只能摸黑碰运气了。 4. Quitting without having another job lined up 错误四：裸辞

Research shows it's easier to get a job offer when you're still employed, which makes sense since gaps on a resume might make a hiring manager think twice about calling you in for an interview.

调查发现，在你仍在职的时候找工作更容易被聘用，这是因为简历上的空档期可能会让人力经理在决定是否给你面试机会时有所顾虑。

Consequently, it's in your best interest to stay at your current job until you have your next one set up.

所以，在找到下一份工作之前，最好是留在你目前的工作岗位上。

15 / 26

5. Neglecting your networking 错误五：忽略你的人际网络

Even if everything you research about the field you're interested in sounds promising, until you actually talk with people who work within that field, you really don't know what you're in for. As such, you should be growing and refreshing your professional contacts constantly.

即使你在调查了你感兴趣的行业之后发现它很有前途，但是如果没有和那一行的人交谈过，你真的不知道你选择的是什么。正因为这样，你应该不断拓展和更新你的职场人脉。

One of the best ways to expand your circle is to go on informational interviews with people who currently work in the field you're pursuing. During these meetings, be sure to ask meaningful questions (e.g., \do you see the industry going?\companies you'd like to work for. Not only will you learn the nuts and bolts, you'll also be more likely to hear about job openings and get internal referrals.

拓展职场人脉最好的一个方法就是请目前在你向往的行业里工作的人介绍情况。在这种会面中，一定要问有意义的问题（比如，“你觉得这个行业未来会如何发展？”）建议：把目标瞄准你想就职的公司的员工。你不但能了解到这一行的具体细节，你还更可能得到职位空缺的消息和内部推荐机会。 6. Going back to school prematurely 错误六：过早回学校进修

Depending on your new career choice, you may need to get another degree. Some fields have clear education requirements (e.g., obtaining a master's degree and licensing to be a nurse practitioner), but others don't require you to go back to school.

16 / 26

如果你的新职业有需要，你可能还需要再攻读一个学位。一些行业有明确的学历要求（比如，获得硕士学位或护士执业资格证），但其他的行业不需要你重返校园。

\but they don't always need to,\

布洛克说：“许多人认为，‘我应该拿个工商管理学硕士学位’或者‘我应该去读研究生’，但是他们并不总需要这么做。”

You have to research whether getting another degree will, in fact, improve your job prospects or increase how much money you can make.

(Networking is especially helpful in determining these answers.) If it won't, you'd just be wasting money—or taking on student loan debt—to get a degree you don't need.

你必须去调查，攻读另一个学位是否真的会改善你的就业前景，或增加你的收入。（在寻找这些问题的答案时，人际网络的帮助特别大）。如果这个学位对事业无益，你只会浪费钱——或者背上助学贷款——来得到一个你不需要的学位。

7. Not adjusting your resume for a career change 错误七：在寻求职业改变时没有相应调整简历

While it's great that you have 15 years of experience in public relations, if you want to switch careers to human resources, your old resume won't cut it.

尽管在公共关系这一行有15年的经验很不错，但是如果你要改行做人力资源，你的旧简历将不会帮到你。

Your resume needs to be tailored to the new industry you're pursing. Check out some of the job descriptions in your desired field and note what skills and credentials are valued. Which of your skills are transferable?

17 / 26

你的简历需要根据你想入的新行业来进行相应调整。查看你的目标行业中的一些职位描述，注意这个职位所看重的技能和文凭。你的哪些技能是可迁移的呢？

For career changers, a functional resume is more likely to promote your qualifications than a chronological resume. Put in the time and effort to update and polish your credentials, regardless of how many years you have in the workforce.

对于要改变职业的人来说，一份功能型履历比一份时序型履历更能提升你的资质。不论你在职场干了多少年，都要花时间精力更新和润色你的简历 ==

有理有力有节！2017年外交天团十大精彩回应

外交部的回应是了解中国外交政策最直接的窗口。当重大外交事件发生时，世界的目光都会聚焦到中国外交部的表态上，因为他们的每一句话不仅代表着外交部，更是代表着中国。

面对一些记者的“挑事儿”问题，外交部或火力全开或妙语连珠，滴水不漏的巧妙回答让网友频频点赞。

我们一起回顾2017年外交部有理有据、有力有节的精彩回应！ “一意孤行”

Not stray any farther down the wrong path

3月8日，外交部长王毅在两会记者会上谈到“萨德”时表示：

引进“萨德”显然是一个错误的选择，不仅有违为邻之道，而且很可能使韩国陷入更加不安全的境地。

Deploying THAAD is a wrong move. This is not the way for neighbors to treat each other. It may very well make the ROK less secure.

所以我们奉劝韩国国内某些势力不要再一意孤行，否则结果只能是损人又害己。

18 / 26

China strongly advised the ROK to halt the deployment of THAAD and not stray any farther down the wrong path, \hurting themselves and others.

“枉费心机”

Wasting their efforts doing so

2月7日，针对“日本收买英国右翼智库抨击中国”一事，外交部发言人陆慷回应道：

如果报道内容属实，我只能说这是枉费心机。

If what is told in the report is true, I can only say that they are wasting their efforts doing so.

日方一方面呼吁改善中日关系，如果另一方面又无端攻击抹黑中国，这就涉及诚信问题了。

Japan's credibility is called into question when it on the one hand calls for an improved relationship with China and throws mud at China on the other. 我们敦促日方切实端正对华认识，多做有利于中日关系改善的事，而不是相反。

We urge the Japanese side to correct its attitude toward China and work for the improvement of the bilateral relationship rather than the opposite.

“捕风捉影、疑神疑鬼”

Making speculations out of thin air or filling oneself with suspicions 3月3日，针对“中国公民入境济州岛受阻，国家旅游局提出严正交涉”是否与“萨德”有关的问题，外交部发言人耿爽回应：

中方对中韩之间的交流与合作持积极开放态度，但这需要有相应的民意基础和舆论氛围。

19 / 26

We have said repeatedly that China takes a positive and open attitude towards China-ROK exchanges and cooperation, but such exchanges and cooperation hinge on proper popular support and appropriate public opinion.

与其总是在这里捕风捉影或疑神疑鬼，不如切实倾听民众呼声，采取有效措施。

I have to add that rather than making speculations out of thin air or filling oneself with suspicions, it is better to heed the voice of the people and take effective measures to avoid affecting China-ROK relations and bilateral exchanges and cooperation.

“别有用心”

An attempt out of ulterior motives

7月7日，针对印度所谓“三国交界点”说法，外交部发言人耿爽回应称： 此次印军非法越界的地点位于中印边界锡金段的边界线上，距离吉姆马珍雪山约有2000多米之远，与三国交界点问题没有关系。印方无视边界条约的规定，把整个洞朗地区说成是三国交界点的范围，显然是别有用心。

The illegal trespass by the Indian troops took place at the Sikkim section of the China-India boundary over 2,000 meters away from Mount Gipmochi and has nothing to do with the tri-junction. The Indian side, in disregard of the boundary convention, takes the whole Doklam area as part of the tri-junction. This is obviously an attempt out of ulterior motives.

印度在此次事件中引入三国交界点概念，并企图将三国交界点扩大为一个区域概念，是在混淆视听。

The Indian side tries to introduce the concept of tri-junction into this incident and equate that point with an area. They are misleading the public.

神敏锐度周期波动的大量研究结果一致”。

Mondays make sense, he says, because “people are fresh, mentally and physically at the beginning of the week, and fade as the week goes on.” 他说，周一最高效是有道理的，“在周一，人们精神饱满，体力充沛。而在一周之后的几个工作日，精力逐渐衰退。”

The different phases of the year also reflect natural volleys between high- and low-energy levels. Drummond says people return from summer holidays fresh, so they are productive in early autumn, while winter’s early plunge into darkness each night might explain lagging productivity, mental acuity and dips in mood.

一年中的不同阶段也反映出精力充沛和精神萎靡的自然波动状态。杜德蒙说，人们暑假归来后精力充沛，所以在初秋工作高效。而冬天天黑得较早，因此工作拖沓，精神敏锐度降低、情绪不佳。

Drummond has some suggestions for capitalising on these findings: “Allow people to have the time required to flex their creativity early in the week and early in the day,” he says. “Don’t, for example, schedule a boring meeting then. Alas, that is when almost all boring meetings are scheduled.” 杜德蒙对于如何利用这些研究结果还给出了一些建议。他说：“让人们能够在一周前几天的清晨充分发挥他们的创造力。比如，在那时不要安排无聊的会议。唉，但几乎所有无聊的会议都安排在这些时候了。” ==
