  • These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about the issues that divide people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them.

    这些方法可以帮助你赢得每一场争论——不是在击败对手这种无益的意义上,而是在更好的意义上:了解使人们产生分歧的问题,了解他们为什么与我们意见不同,并学会与他们交谈和合作。如果我们重新调整对争论的看法——从口头争斗或网球比赛转变为一种理性的交流,通过这种交流我们都能获得相互尊重和理解——那么我们就改变了“赢得”争论的本质含义。

  • There is a better way to win arguments. Imagine that you favor increasing the minimum wage in our state, and I do not. If you yell, “Yes,” and I yell, “No,” neither of us learns anything. We neither understand nor respect each other, and we have no basis for compromise or cooperation. In contrast, suppose you give a reasonable argument: that full-time workers should not have to live in poverty. Then I counter with another reasonable argument: that a higher minimum wage will force businesses to employ fewer people for less time. Now we can understand each other’s positions and recognize our shared values, since we both care about needy workers.

    有一种更好的方式来赢得争论。设想你赞成提高我们州的最低工资,而我不赞成。如果你大喊“赞成”,我大喊“反对”,我们谁都学不到任何东西。我们既不理解也不尊重对方,也没有妥协或合作的基础。相反,假设你给出一个合理的论证:全职工人不应该生活在贫困之中。然后我用另一个合理的论证来反驳:更高的最低工资会迫使企业雇用更少的人、缩短雇用时间。这样我们就能理解彼此的立场,并认识到我们共同的价值观,因为我们都关心贫困的工人。

  • Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. Your prospects would be almost as dismal if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis games. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner emerges from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking is why so many people try to avoid arguments, especially about politics and religion.

    如果争论就是争斗——我们常常这样看待争论——那么卡耐基就是对的。和肢体冲突一样,口头争斗也会让双方都头破血流。即使你赢了,最终也不会更好。即便争论只是竞赛——比如说网球比赛——你的前景也几乎同样黯淡。对手们两两对阵,来回击球,直到所有参赛者中产生一个胜者。其他人都是输家。正是这种想法让那么多人尽量避免争论,尤其是关于政治和宗教的争论。
