Communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. To survive in the world, we have to act in concert with others, but to survive as ourselves, rather than simply as cogs in a wheel, we have to act alone.

  • -- Deborah Tannen 德博拉·坦嫩

沟通是一种持续的平衡行为,在亲密和独立的需求之间平衡。为了在这个世界上生存,我们必须与他人合作,但是为了作为我们自己而生存,而不仅仅是作为一个齿轮上的齿轮,我们必须独自行动。
