EP 10. 5 TRUCOS PARA HABLAR MEJOR EN ESPAÑOL

今天我们要学的是 ——中国人怎么叫不认识的人！很多外国朋友来中国都会发愁："看到陌生人，怎么开口打招呼呢？" 别担心！今天我们就来学几个超简单、超好用的称呼，马上就能学会哦！
先学怎么叫年纪大的人！如果看到头发白、年纪大的爷爷，就叫 "大爷"（dà ye）！比如你在北京的胡同里想问路，就说："大爷，您好！故宫怎么去呀？" 爷爷会很开心地告诉你！
红柿多少钱？" 这样叫，奶奶会觉得你很有礼貌～
再学 "大叔"（dà shū）！"大叔" 是叫比爸爸妈妈年纪稍大的叔叔，大概 40-50 岁的男士。比如在便利店买东西，你可以说："大叔，我要一瓶水！" 对方会笑着给你拿水哦～
现在年轻人最喜欢的称呼是 "小姐姐"（xiǎo jiě jie）！看到年轻的女生，不管在哪里，都可以叫 "小姐姐"！比如在奶茶店，你想问："小姐姐，哪款奶茶最好喝？" 在商场想问洗手间："小姐姐，洗手间在哪里？" 这样叫，对方会觉得你很可爱，回答也会很热情～
🌟 这里有个小陷阱，要注意哦！
以前中国人会用 "小姐"（xiǎo jiě）称呼年轻女性，比如几十年前，大家去餐厅会说："小姐，麻烦买单！" 但是现在情况变啦！😯 现在很多地方听到 "小姐" 会觉得不太舒服，尤其是南方城市，比如广州、上海，这个词可能会让人误会。举个例子：假如你在餐厅喊服务员 "小姐"，对方可能会皱眉头，心里想："这个人是不是不太懂我们的习惯呀？"
所以记住哦，现在要把 "小姐" 这个词悄悄收起来，换成更可爱的 "小姐姐"，或者正式一点的 "女士"（nǚ shì）！比如在餐厅，你可以说："小姐姐，我的饭好了吗？" 或者对稍微年长的女性说："女士，请问这里可以坐吗？" 这样既礼貌又不会出错，就像给语言加了一层 "安全保护罩"！
接下来是最厉害的 "师傅"（shī fu）！这个称呼什么场合都能用！坐出租车时，对司机说："师傅，去火车站！" 修鞋子时，对修鞋的人说："师傅，我的鞋坏了。" 剪头发时，对理发师说："师傅，剪短一点。" 记住哦，只要对方在工作，叫 "师傅" 就对啦！
主播：中国不同地方的称呼还有小差别哦！比如重庆、四川，大家叫阿姨 "嬢嬢"（niáng niang），听起来像在撒娇："嬢嬢，来一碗面！" 在广东，不管多大年纪，男生都叫 "靓仔"（liàng zǎi），女生都叫 "靓女"（liàng nǚ），意思就是 "帅哥、美女"！所以在广州听到有人喊你 "靓仔"，别奇怪，就是在叫你呢～
还有两个正式的称呼："先生"（xiān sheng）和 "女士"（nǚ shì），开会或者正式场合用。比如："王先生，这是你的文件。"" 李女士，你好！"而" 同志 "（tóng zhì）以前常用，现在警察叔叔可能会说：" 同志，请出示身份证。"
主播：现在来做个小测试！大家跟着我一起说：
1.坐出租车时，怎么叫司机？→ "师傅！"
2.看到卖菜的奶奶，怎么叫？→ "大妈！"
3.问年轻女店员问题，怎么叫？→ "小姐姐！"对啦！大家都学会了吗？

Understanding Different Perspectives:

Step into Their Shoes:  Each department has its own metrics for success.  Marketing might prioritize customer acquisition, while engineering focuses on product quality and  feasibility.  Understanding their goals fosters empathy and reveals potential areas of collaboration.

Communicate Clearly: Clearly outline your desired outcomes and explain how they align with the company's overall objectives. Frame your requests in a way that resonates with their priorities.

Finding Common Ground:

Focus on Benefits:  Negotiation shouldn't be a win-lose scenario.  Instead, seek solutions that provide value to all parties involved. Brainstorm creative solutions that address everyone's concerns.

Be Prepared to Compromise:  Recognize that concessions are often necessary. Identify areas where you have flexibility and be willing to make trade-offs that won't severely hinder your core objectives.

Active Listening and Collaboration:

Listen Attentively:  Pay close attention to their concerns and reservations. Ask clarifying questions to ensure a complete understanding of their perspective.

Collaborative Problem-Solving:  Work together to address challenges.  Their insights might reveal unforeseen roadblocks or opportunities you haven't considered.

Maintaining Positive Dynamics:

Respectful Demeanor:  Throughout the negotiation, maintain a professional and respectful tone.  Avoid accusatory language or dismissive attitudes.

Focus on the Future: Don't dwell on past disagreements.  Keep the conversation focused on reaching a mutually beneficial solution moving forward.

Consistency is key to measurable progress. Confidence is grown from control and preparation.
