Be careful about opening your mouth in situations in which it isn't
appropriate. When the conversation lags, you feel it's your duty to pipe up.
By doing so, you may launch the conversation onto an inappropriate topic. You
may want to say something just so you can shift the focus to you. The better
choice is to allow the silence to sit peacefully.
你必须小心在不恰当的情况下开口，
当谈话进度落后时，你可能认为打破现状(沉默)是你的工作，
但你可能会将话题导向一个不恰当的方向；
虽然你希望说点什么来吸引大家注意，
但静静地保持沉默是较好的选择。
