答案

成为一个好的倾听者
I strongly believe that it is rather important to be a good listener.
我坚信成为一名好的倾听者是非常重要的.
And although I have become a better listener than I was ten years ago,I have to admit I'm still only an adequate1 listener.
即使比起十年前,我更善于倾听了,但我必须承认,我依然不是一个好的倾听者.
Effective2 listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences.
善于倾听不仅仅是不在他人诉说时或是没说完之前打断人家.
It's being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond.
而是耐心的听人说完整件事,这比没耐心的回应更重要.
In some ways,the way we fail to listen is symbolic of 3 the way we live.
在某些方面,不善于倾听有三种表现：
We often treat communication as if it were a race.
我们经常视交流为赛跑.
It's almost like our goal is to have no time gaps4 between the conclusion of the sentence of the person we are speaking with and the beginning of our own.
我们的目标就像是与我们交谈的人一说完,我们就迫不急待接着说.
My wife and I were recently at a cafe having lunch,eavesdropping on5 the conversations around us.
最近,我和太太在一家咖啡店吃午餐,无意间听到周围人的谈话.
It seemed that no one was really listening to one another,instead they were taking turns6 not listening to one another.
似乎他们都没有认真听对方说话,而是转过头像是米听别的什么人说话似的.
I asked my wife if I still did the same thing.
我问我妻子我是不是也这样?
With a smile on her face she said," Only sometimes."
妻子微微一笑说：“只是有时”.
Slowing down7 your responses and becoming a better listener aids you in becoming a more peaceful person.
不必急于回应,成为一个善于倾听的人可以帮你成为一个安静的人.
It takes pressure from you.
你会给他人带来快乐.
If you think about it,you'll notice that it takes an enormous amount of energy and is very stressful to be sitting at the edge of your seat trying to guess what the person in front of you （or on the telephone） is going to say so that you can fire8 back your response.
想一想,你会注意到,坐在椅子边儿上,试图猜想你面前的人（或与你通电话的人）会书写什么,一边你迅速回应是要消耗大量精力,承受巨大压力的.
But as you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish,as you simply listen more intently9 to what is being said,you'll notice that the pressure you feel is off.
但当你等待与你交谈的人诉说完,但你仅仅是倾听,而不是紧张的思索将说些什么时,你会注意到你所承受的压力全然不见.
You'll immediately feel more relaxed,and so will the people you are talking to.
你会立刻感到放松下来,同你交谈的人也放松了下来.
They will feel safe in slowing down their own responses because they won't feel in competition with you for " air time10" !
放慢回应的速度他们会感到安全,因为他们不会感觉到是在与你进行比赛!
Not only will becoming a better listener make you a more patient person,it will also enhance the quality of your relationships.
成为一名善于倾听的人不仅使你成为一个更具耐心的人,也会使你和朋友们的关系更加密切.
Everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying.
每个人都愿意与一个可以真正听他们说什么的人进行交谈.
终于敲完字儿了!
