　　小心！10个词语分分钟暴露你不自信

　　Nine-hundred and seventy-two.

　　972

　　That's the total number of e-mails I received just in May, and it's about my average. That's not counting the hundreds and hundreds of messages Gmail dumped into categories for promotional mail, forum posts, and social networking updates. I've become proficient at jumping through messages quickly, but there's one thing I've mastered even more than that: spotting a lack of confidence.

　　这是仅五月份一个月我收到的邮件总数，这也是我的平均值。其中不包括被谷歌邮箱分类的数以千计的广告邮件，论坛帖子和社交网络更新。我已经变得非常善于在邮件之间快速切换，但我掌握的另一项能力更加重要：识别不自信。

　　I also take quite a few cold calls--people who are not really sure what I do and have not really done too much research but have me on a phone list for some reason.

　　我也会接到一些推销电话—那些人既不确定我的职业也没有做很多调查工作，但会因为某种原因把我放在通讯录中。

　　In most cases, it's a pitch about a product or someone asking a question about marketing to journalists. He or she might say he or she "usually" does something. In a few cases, it's someone with a business idea he or she "suspects" will be perfect. Most of the time, these messages are straightforward--the sender isn't messing around. But a few seem hesitant. I fire back a question, and the response makes me question the person's authority on the subject.

　　大多数情况下是关于产品推销或是问向记者做市场推广的问题。他们可能会说他或她‘通常’做某事。少数情况下，某个人有一个他或她‘猜想’会是完美的商业理念。大多数时候，这些信息是直接的—发件人不是在捣乱。但有时候感觉很犹豫。我反问一个问题，回复会让我质疑他在这个话题上的权威性。

　　These words are not always triggers about confidence level, but they are my first signal that something is amiss. They make me think the sender is not that sure about the product or service. And they are dead giveaways that I need to question what the person says.

　　这些词不一定都是自信水平的触发器，但他们是我感觉哪里有问题的第一信号。他们让我觉得发件人对产品和服务并不确信。而且他们暴我需要问他说的什么

　　1. Might

　　Be careful when you tell people you "might" do something. Are you sure about that? No one is asking you to solve world peace. When you say you "might" finish a report, it implies you lack some ability, don't manage your time well, or have too many priorities.

　　当你告诉别人‘可能’做某事时要小心。你真的确定吗？没有人让你去维护世界和平。当你说你‘可能’完成了一份报告，这就意味着你能力不足，不能有效地管理时间，或者有过多要处理的事情。

　　2. Won't

　　Here's an obvious word to avoid in your emails. Anyone who says he or she "won't" do something or "won't" attend a meeting is generating a negative vibe. Be more decisive: Either accept an invitation or reject it; using the word won't suggests hesitancy.

　　很显然要在邮件中避免使用这个词。那些说他或她‘不会'做某事或’不会‘参加会议的人是在制造一种消极的氛围。要更坚定一些：要么接受邀请要么拒绝；用不会这个词代表犹豫不决。

　　3. Usually

　　This is a trigger word in email that makes it obvious to everyone that you don't have all the facts. If
