第一印象很重要：如果给别人留下好的初次印象？

This one is tricky. However if you find your mind wandering to a moment of stress, like something nagging you, you’ll often face-plant mid conversation. We all do it.
这项比较棘手。如果你发现自己的思绪有片刻的压力，就像是有事情困扰着你，那么在谈话中你的表情就会显示出来。我们都经历过。

So before you head off the big meeting or big date, try to free your mind of whatever it is that’s worrying you.
所以在参加重要的会议或约会前，无论在担心什么事情，都要尝试去释放自己的头脑。

Don’t turn to alcohol. Instead, just take a few deep breathes and maybe have a laugh at yourself too. Freeing up your mind will really help you interact smoothly and pleasantly.
不要喝酒。做几次深呼吸，也许还可以自嘲一下。 释放你的头脑能真正地帮助你和他人顺利、愉快地互动。

5) Make the right amount of eye contact
适量的眼神交流

The right amount of eye contact basically equivocates to showing someone you care about what they are talking about.
适量的眼神交流基本上等同于告诉别人你在乎别人谈论的内容。

Making too much of it, well, that’s not really a problem. Everyone has their own style. But if you fail to make eye contact you may appear aloof or careless. You may even appear scared.
眼神交流过多也不是什么大问题。每个人都有自己的风格。但是如果你无法进行眼神交流，你可能看上去很冷漠或漫不经心。你甚至看起来有些害怕。

It’s important to practice making eye contact in first impression situations, so even if it bothers you try and get out there and stare ‘em down.
要想留下好的第一印象，练习眼神交流非常重要。所以即便你不喜欢这样做，也要试着去看着别人的眼睛。

6) Be comfortable with the mic
说话时要泰然自若

If you have acheived all of the above, you need to be comfortable speaking when the conversation drifts your way. That means confidently telling folks what you do, why you do it, and a couple other interesting facts about yourself.
如果上面的这几项你都掌握了， 那么当轮到你说话时，你要泰然自若。也就是说要自信地告诉对方你做了什么事情、为什么去做，还有一些自己的趣闻。

If you can’t manage this, or stammer, or act confused, all your efforts will be wasted. If you can show composure and speak with a bit of authority, you’ll really drive the nail in. Plan a few tidbits about yourself in advance, but keep them malleable to the dynamics of the situation.
如果你做不到，或口吃，或做出让人迷惑的行为，那么你的努力就都白费了。 如果你表现沉着，说话时带点儿威严，那你算是抓住要点了。提前想好自己的趣闻，但是在现场要根据情况发挥。

7) Use a concise good-bye
简单明了地再见

Just like your introduction was concise, the good-bye should be brief and professional as well.
就像你的自我介绍要简单明了一样，再见也应该简洁并体现出职业性。

This shows you’re used to meeting new people, are comfortable breaking from a conversation, and above all could make the other party wish for more of your company down the road.
这体现出你经常和不熟悉的人见面，能自如地结束对话，此外，还能让对方希望有机会再和你见面。
