“People always choose 选择Debbie instead of [?n'sted] 而不是me. I don’t understand.”
“我知道。是（因为）你交流的方式”
“I do. It’s the way 方式you communicate[k?'mju?n?ke?t]交流.” “那怎么可能？” Simon 问，“我说话的机会都没有。”
“How can that be?” Simon asked. “I don’t get a chance 机会[t?ɑ?ns] to speak.” “交流不仅仅是说话。你的肢体语言也是重要的。” “肢体语言？”
“Communicating [k?'mj?n?,ke?t??]沟通；交流 is more than 不仅仅just speaking. Your body language is important too.” “Body language?”
“它是你站和坐的方式。它是你的姿势和脸上的表情。你的整个外貌能够表达事情。你没有给人一个好的印象，Simon。你看着下面，你从不微笑并且不会把头转向他们。”

[?m'pre?(?)n]印象, Simon. You look down看着下面, you never 从不smile微笑 and you don’t turn转向 your head towards [t?'w??dz]朝向 them.”
