She sold me on her idea. I think it will work. 她用她的看法說服了我,我想那行得通。
請注意 I’m sold 可以不帶貶義,它和 I am convinced 一樣,只是口語化程度大一些。
Researchers have been studying in the factors that influence us to say “yes” to the request of others for over sixty years. And there can be no doubt that there’s a science to how we’re persuaded. 研究人員一直針對影響我們對別人的要求說「yes」的因素研究了超過六十年。而無庸置疑的,是有一個關於我們是如何被說服的科學存在。
And a lot of the science is surprising. When making a decision, it would be nice to think that people consider all the available information in order to guide their thinking. But the reality is very often different. In the increasingly overloaded lives we live, more than ever, we need shortcuts or rules of thumb to guide our decision making. 很多科學都令人驚訝。做決定時,認為人們為了要引導他們的思緒,會考慮所有可用的資訊是很好的。但是事實往往不同。在我們所過的愈加超載的生活中,更甚於以往地,我們需要捷徑或是經驗法則來引導我們做決定。
