不要说话:你应该保持沉默的十大场合

Getting in trouble is a part of life and sometimes the person in power just needs to run through everything they’re upset about. Bosses yell, referees yells, our spouses yell. It does not always help to talk back. On the other hand, be silent and take the blows, then find a good time to say a concise sorry. Even if you’re not in the wrong. This will get you out of jail and on with your life a whole lot quicker.
人生总是难免遇到麻烦。有权利的人往往需要对所有让他们失望的事发泄一下。老板在咆哮，裁判在咆哮，我们的另一半也在咆哮。其实并不需要去回应他们。不如保持沉默，一一承受，再找个合适的时机简单说一句对不起,哪怕你没有做错。你就会脱离苦海，生活进展更快。

7) When talking about money
7. 谈到钱的问题

Don’t mention your salary when others are bragging and don’t whine about being owed money. Lend to your friends, it’ll come back around. An aura of quiet confidence around money issues will help you someday find riches.
在别人吹牛时，别也跟着提及自己的薪水问题，更不要对借出去的钱发牢骚。借给你的朋友，他们总会还的。在钱的问题上保持沉默，这样的自信总会有天让你发现其价值所在。

8) In line at an event
8. 排队等候时

This one is specific, but I’ve noticed that those who wait patiently to get into a club or concert often get through faster than the loud mouths begging for entrance. Being loud and belligerent gets you nowhere and a quiet confidence makes it look like you belong.
这条比较特别，但我发现那些静静等候俱乐部或音乐会入场的人往往比那些吵吵闹闹的人们进去的要快。吵吵闹闹只会让你找不到方向，安静一点才让你看起来真正属于这里。

9) When congratulated
9. 被祝贺时

A smooth and confident “thank you” is the best response to a congratulations. It’s true. Just saying thank you is enough. Don’t say “oh, well it was all him” or “yeah, I don’t know how I did it” or something equally blasé. Just be the man, say thank you, and go dominate your next conquest.
对于祝贺最好的回答莫过于一句“谢谢”。的确是这样，说谢谢就够了。不要说“这都是他的功劳” 或是“啊，我都不知道自己怎么做到的”，或是其他类似的话语。就绅士点，说句谢谢吧，然后向着自己下个目标进军。

10) When some is divulging secrets
10. 某人对你吐露秘密时

If you find yourself in a rare moment when someone in power or with useful information has decided to pour it out for you, please just listen. You’ll learn a lot. Understand how valuable the information is and store it away for use later on. A smile is all the response you need to give.
如果你发现自己身处一个特殊的场合，某个有权利的人或掌握有用消息的人突然对你倾诉，那就好好倾听吧。你会学到很多东西。了解这些信息到底有多重要，然后自己消化以备以后的需要。这种情况下你只需要回馈一个笑容。

Shutting up is an art form. Spot these moments in advance and trust me, you’ll reap the silent benefits.
学会沉默是一门艺术。提前知晓这些该沉默的场合，相信我，你会从中受益良多。
