communication.s强调倾听对于人际交往的重要性。【译文】人们往往都是健谈者，却不是很好的倾听者。他们愿意告诉别人自己的感受，或者他们想要什么，但是常常没有耐心或者不愿意倾听别人的诉说。这样不利于交流。一个人如果想成为好的沟通者，他必须牢记倾听比诉说更重要。是倾听而不是诉说为我们提供了更好地了解他人的机会。通过专注地倾听别人所说的话，我们更加有可能了解他们的真实想法，为他们提供建设性的意见，从而与他们建立起良好的人际关系。但是，如果我们只是向别人谈论关于自己的事情，而忽略他们的感受，这种谈话对他们来说就可能是一场噩梦，我们绝不会知道他们在想什么。总之，对于有效的沟通来说，倾听比诉说所起的作用更大。【要点用法】tend
