改善肢体语言的六大理由

When we’re in school or at work, we’re taught to improve our words. We learn to improve our language and words to impress. We learn to construct clever chains of words to gain an upper hand and to communicate more clearly. But when we grow up we learn very little beyond improving our words. A bit strange since…

我们从学习工作中获知要改进自己的语言。我们学习以丰富我们的语言和词汇表达。我们学习以建立丰富的词汇链，在沟通时取得优势，更清晰地与人交流。但长大后，我们却发现除了扩大了词汇量，我们鲜有所学。这有点奇怪，直到…

1. …words are only 7 percent of your communication.

1….在你的交流中，词汇只占7%

The rest is your voice tonality (38 percent) and your body language at 55 percent. That’s according to research done by Albert Mehrabian, currently Professor Emeritus in psychology at UCLA. These numbers may vary depending upon the situation and what is communicated (for instance, talking over the phone is obviously different from talking face to face) but body language is a very important part of communication.

剩下的是你的音调（38%）和肢体语言（55%）。这组数据出自美国加州大学洛杉矶分校心理学在现任誉教授阿尔伯特梅拉比安的调查。这些数据会随情境和沟通方式（例如打电话和面谈就有很大不同）的变化而变化，但是肢体语言却是沟通过程中极为重要的一部分。

2. Increase your attractiveness

2.提升你的吸引力

It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. A better posture, a more open body language, a more controlled and focused body language will make everyone more attractive. And not just in a sexual way but when talking to new friends or in job interviews and business meetings.

并不是指你的谈话内容，而是沟通方式。一种良好的姿势，更开放，更专注，收放自如的肢体语言会使人更有吸引力。不仅是吸引异性，更多的是在你同新朋友谈话或面试和商务会议中显示出的魅力。

3. Emotions are linked to your body language

3.情绪和肢体语言密切联系

Emotions work backwards too. If you feel good you’ll smile. If you force yourself to smile you’ll feel good too. If you feel tired or down you might sit slumped down. If you sit slumped down you’ll feel more tired and negative. Just try to sit straight up for 5 minutes and feel the difference in energy from half-lying in your chair.

情绪也会拖后腿。如果感觉好，你会微笑。即使是迫使自己微笑，感觉也会变好。劳累或沮丧时，你会跌坐一旁。那样垂头丧气地坐着，你会更加疲惫和消极。不妨试着坐直五分钟，你会感受到一种与半躺着坐在椅子上截然不同的能量。

4. Reduce mixed messages

4.减少混乱信息

If you’re in a job interview and you talk with a steady voice and say all the confident things you should but your body language tells your maybe-employers that you are very nervous or guarded then you are incongruent (and perhaps without that job). What you want is be congruent, that is for your words, your voice and your body language to say the same thing.

如果你正在面试，你以沉稳的语气谈论所有你有信心胜任的事情，但你的肢体语言却向可能成为你雇主的面试者透露出你十分紧张，谨小慎微。不协调的肢体语言也许会让你错失那个工作。其实你只想在说话时让自己的语言、声音和肢体语言协调一致。

5. Improve your communication skills

5.改进你的沟通技巧

If you improve your body language you can get your thoughts across in a more effective way. You can create a connection to another person more easily. When using more powerful and appropriately balanced body language your communication skills become more focused and better.

改进你的肢体语言，你就可以更轻而易举地有效传达自己的想法。你可以轻易与他人建立联系。当你能够更有力更协调地使用肢体语言时，你的沟通就变得更集中有效。

6. Better first impressions

6.更好的第一印象

Everyone stereotypes everyone on first impression, even if we are reluctant to do it. We all get a first impression of a new person that creates a mental image of his or her personality in our minds. That image of you often lasts. Having a better body language will consistently give people a more positive mental snapshot of you. 

虽然我们不喜欢一锤定音，但第一印象决定每个人给人的最终印象。结识新面孔时，对方给我们留下的第一印象会在我们头脑中生成他或她的个性特点，这一印象根深蒂固，难以改变。良好的肢体语言会不断加深你给人的积极印象。undefined
