Some Things Good Listeners Do Differently

侧耳倾听成就更棒的倾听者

They're empathetic.

他们会设身处地。

Part of effective listening is the effort to empathize with the person you're speaking with. Whether or not you're able to fully relate, your compassion won't go unnoticed. "Spend a moment putting yourself in their position, what's going through their head and what it must be like for them," Sacco says.

有效倾听的一部分就是要尝试站在和你讲话的人的角度。无论你是否能完全设身处地，你的恻隐之心不会被忽略。“花些时间把自己摆在他人的角度，想想他们脑中所想以及由此而生的感受，”萨科讲道。

"Understanding what their experience is even before you talk to them [can help you connect with them]. And it sounds bad, but even if you blow it, you're still better off because the other person will see the attempt."

“甚至在和他们讲话前，就了解他们的感受。这点会帮助你和他们建立联系。虽然听起来糟糕，可即使尝试泡汤了，你仍有优势，因为另一个人会看到你的努力。”
