國外有熱心網友做了個網站,叫:How to professionally say...

也就是,原本簡單的一句話,怎樣用英文更委婉甚至更煞有介事地說。

比如,心裡的獨白是:

That sounds like a horrible idea.

但不要這麼說,「職業」一點,換成:

Are we confident that this is the best solution or are we still exploring alternatives?

還如,心裡想的是:

Stop assigning me so many tasks if you want any of them to get done.

嘴上得換成:

As my workload is quite heavy, can you help me understand what I should reprioritize to accommodate this new task?

嗯…

怎麼越看越感覺這是個國外版的「低情商 vs 高情商」?

😂

我是大概一個月前在 Hacker News 看到這個開源項目,當時開發者剛上線網站,內容還是以搞笑、諷刺的居多,就是想皮一下那種。

後來,項目在 Hacker News、Reddit 火了一陣,關注量大增,也有更多網友參與進來,內容慢慢也變正式不少,如作者在項目 GitHub 介紹所說:

Based on the responses there it seems like what I started as fun activity can be something more than I thought.

I'll be looking into the possibilities of improving the content to make it less satire and more appropriate for most of the people out there.

當時留意這個網站,主要是圖個樂子,然後還覺得當時條目內容大多可作為簡明英文的反面範本來用。

沒想到一月余過去,網站改頭換面,變化不少,作者建站的心態、目標似乎也與當初不同。

這麼看來,除了找找樂子,或許也真能從網站條目有所收穫呢。
