Here's an extrovert's reaction to an invitation.

下面是一個外向者對邀請的反應。

"Hell yeah! Let's do it. I'm there with bells on."

「好耶！就這麼辦，我很樂意去。」

I'm there with bells on is a really enthusiastic way to say yes I'll be there, I'm so up for that.

「我帶著鈴鐺去」是一種非常熱情的說法，表示「是的，我會去的，我非常願意去。」

An introvert's reaction to an invitation.

Thank you so much but tonight I'm staying in and organising my bookshelf and catching up on some reading.

「非常感謝，但今晚我要待在家裡整理書架，加快腳步讀點書。」

Oh that sounds like a heavenly way to spend an evening.

哦，這聽起來像是度過一個美好夜晚的方式。

Here are some methods for learning English as an introvert.

以下是一些內向者學習英語的方法。

Review the recording and give yourself a score.

Introverts quite like to be in control of something, so if you can manage that data yourself, review it yourself and give yourself a score. It can help you feel more in control.

內向的人非常喜歡掌控一些事情，所以如果你能自己管理這些數據，自己審查並給自己打分，會讓你感覺更有掌控力。

Tip number two is to find a safe space with people you know where you can practice English.

祕訣之二是與熟人一起尋找一個可以練習英語的安全空間。

Introverts are really good one-to-one you see and they love that deeper connection that you get when it's one-to-one communication.

內向者非常擅長一對一交流，他們喜歡一對一交流時產生的深層聯繫。

Tip number three, don't forget to recharge your energy after you have a conversation.

祕訣三：交談後別忘了補充能量。

For introverts, it's more difficult to have conversation because it requires more energy.

對於內向的人來說，交談會更困難，因為這需要更多的精力。

Maybe we even need more calories, energy drinks and okay I'm not sure there's any research to back that up it's my theory.

也許我們甚至需要更多的卡路里、能量飲料，好吧，我不確定是否有任何研究支持這一點，這只是我的理論。

Even in your mother tongue as an introvert, it's difficult sometimes to have conversation, so if you manage to do that in English, pat yourself on the back.

即使是母語，作為一個內向的人，有時也很難與人交談，所以如果你能用英語做到這一點，請為自己鼓掌。

That means tell yourself that you did a really good job.

這意味著告訴自己，你做得非常好。

I really like having deep conversations and sometimes I just get bored having too much small talk.

我很喜歡深入交談，有時閒聊太多也會覺得無聊。

For example, at a wedding, when you don't know anyone and everyone's just mingling with each other, I find that a little bit artificial.

例如，在婚禮上，你誰都不認識，每個人都在打成一片，我覺得這有點矯揉造作，

And sometimes I try to ask the new person that I'm talking to a deeper question, like "What do you think the meaning of life is?"

有時我會試著問新人一個更深層次的問題，比如「你認為生命的意義是什麼？」

Sometimes because they've had a drink of Prosecco usually at this point they're quite excited to give a good answer but sometimes this doesn't go down well.

有時因為他們喝了一杯普羅塞克酒，通常這時他們會很興奮地給出一個好答案，但有時這並不順利。

How can we survive small talk as introverts?

作為內向者，我們如何在閒聊中生存？

This will help you stay in control of the conversation and give that safe feeling that you really want.

這將有助於你掌控談話內容，給人一種你真正想要的安全感。

You can create a list of questions and answers and just have them roughly in your head prepared if someone asks you that question.

你可以創建一個問題和答案列表，如果有人問你這個問題，你就在腦子裡大致準備好這些問題和答案。

If you're anything like me, I always write everything down manually because I'm quite old school, but you do you, and what works best for you.

如果你像我一樣，我總是手動寫下所有東西，因為我是個老派的人，但你要做你自己，做最適合你的事情。

你可以在自己家中舒適地享受。

Because improvisation is something I think introverts fear a lot.

因為我認為內向的人非常害怕即興表演。

Having to come up with something on the spot when maybe you're feeling quite nervous and you're not sure what the English even is.

當你感到相當緊張，甚至不確定英語是什麼的時候，不得不當場想出一些東西。

So practice at home in your comfort zone.

所以請在家中的舒適區進行練習。

Try not to fear it because a new conversation with a human being could lead to opportunities.

試著不要害怕，因為與人的新對話可能會帶來機遇。

Every time we interact with another human being, it can lead to brilliant things so try to enjoy the process.

每一次我們與他人的互動都可能帶來精彩的事情，所以要試著享受這個過程。

And also everyone, don't hide behind the label of introvert.

還有，每個人都不要躲在內向的標籤後面。

When I say hide, I mean hiding behind the label, calling yourself an introvert, meaning if you're introvert you don't have to do anything scary or I'm an introvert so I don't go out or I'm an introvert so I don't socialise.

我說的 "隱藏 "是指躲在標籤後面，自稱內向，意思是如果你內向，你就不必做任何可怕的事情，或者我內向，所以我不出門，或者我內向，所以我不社交。

Of course you can identify as an introvert but you still want to improve your English, right?

當然，你也可以認為自己性格內向，但你仍然希望提升自己的英語能力，對嗎？

So it's important you don't use introversion or your personality as an excuse.

所以重要的是你不要把內向或你的個性當作藉口。

Introverts tend to be a bit more reflective.

In order to be reflective, they need time to think, especially when they've just been asked a question and they want to give a considered response not just an impulsive quick response.

他們需要時間來思考，尤其是當他們剛剛被問到一個問題時，他們希望給出一個經過深思熟慮的回答，而不是衝動的快速反應。

An extrovert's response in conversation is a little bit more quick fire.

外向者在談話中的反應更快一些。

They're very good at improvising and coming up with responses really quickly but an introvert might just need a little bit of time to think.

他們善於隨機應變，很快就能想出對策，但內向的人可能只需要一點時間來思考。

Fillers are things like um, uh, well, I suppose, you know, I mean, kind of.

填充詞就像嗯，嗯嗯，我想，你知道，我的意思是，類似。

What these do is they give you valuable time to think.

這些都會給你寶貴的思考時間。

Adding "...and things," "...and stuff," "etc," just gives you even more time at the end of a sentence before you start your next sentence to think about what you're going to say.

加入「...等等」等詞語會讓你在開始下一句話之前，有更多的時間思考你要表達的內容。

Introverts tend to be more vulnerable and kind of honest with their responses.

內向者往往更容易受到傷害，他們的回答也更誠實。

For example, if someone does something really nice for you and you want to thank them, an introvert will probably say, "I don't know what to say but I truly appreciate this."

例如，如果有人為你做了一件非常好的事情，你想感謝他，內向的人可能會說：「我不知道該說什麼，但我真的很感激。」

This is basically saying I'm completely overwhelmed by this. I'm so touched.

這基本上就是在說ㄉ：「我對此完全不知所措。我太感動了。

Thank you so much and I'm being honest here. I don't know what to say.

非常感謝，我實話實說。我不知道該說什麼。」

This is what you want when you're speaking English.

這就是你說英語時想要的效果。

What to say when you feel under pressure in an extroverted environment?

在外向型環境中感到壓力時該說些什麼？

That means just give me a second. I'm thinking about my answer.

意思是給我點時間，我正在考慮我的答案。

That means I know it but I can't remember it right now.

這說明我知道，但現在想不起來了。

Sometimes when you're feeling nervous, you know something but you just can't get it out in that moment and that's a really useful one to say when you feel like that.

有時，當你感到緊張時，你知道一些事情，但就是無法在那一刻說出來。

Maybe they've asked you if you've seen a film or if you know a particular person and you can just say, "Oh, that title rings a bell," or "That name rings a bell," or "That rings a bell."

也許他們會問你是否看過某部電影，或者是否認識某個人，你就可以說：「哦，我對那個片名有印象」，或者「我對那個名字有印象」或「我有印象」。

It just means I've heard about that before but I'm just not quite sure in the moment right now and I can't be remember 100%.

這只是說我以前聽說過，但我現在還不太確定，也不能百分百記得。

Come on guys, this is the stuff that you love, right?

來吧，各位，這就是你們喜歡的東西，對嗎？
