15.4-Being Observant-Becoming more Observant

仔细观察-变得更加善于观察

Demo - 例子

1. At the next meeting of an organization you belong to or any other gathering, try to notice things you would normally miss: objects in the room, the arrangement of the furniture, the positions of the people in relation to one another, the subtle reactions of people during the dicussion.

在下一次你参加的组织会议或任何聚会上，试着注意那些你通常会忽略的事情：房间里的物品、家具的摆放、人们之间的互相关系、人们在讨论中的微妙反应。

2. The next time you are walking around your neighborhood or in the mall, try to see how many things you've been missing. Which hourses are best cared for? How many people smile and nod or otherwise greet you? What activities are people you pass engaged in? Do they seem to be enjoying what they are doing? How many different sounds do you hear? Which sounds dominate? Are they pleasant or harsh?

下次你在附近或者购物中心步行时，试着看看你错过了多少东西。哪些房子保养的最好？有多少人用微笑或者点头或者其他方式向你问候？你路过的人都参加过哪些活动？他们看起来是在享受他们正在做的吗？你能听到多少种不同的声音？哪种声音占据主要？他们是愉快的还是刺耳的？

What-是什么

The way to be observant is to use all five of your senses to keep your mind from wandering aimlessly.

变得善于观察的方法是使用你所有的五官保持你的思想不要漫无目的的游荡。

Why-为什么

All often, people are unobservant because they are too absorbed in themselves their own thoughts and feelings.

很多时候，人们不善于观察是因为他们太专注于他们自己的想法和感受了。

• When they speak, they are so busy froming their words and enjoying the sound of their own voice that they forget their listeners.

  当他们说话的时候，他们忙于形成自己的语言和享受自己的声音，从而忘记了他们的听众；

• Observant people, on the other hand, have learned how to get outside themselves, to be constantly in touch with waht is happening around them.

  另一方面，善于观察的人们，已经学会如何走出自我，不断地与【周围发生的事情】保持联系；

How-怎么做

A good way to start becoming more observant is to practice receiving sense impressions more attentively.

一个开始变得更加善于观察的好方法是联系跟专注地接受感觉印象。
