Gossip Positively
正面八卦
Not all gossip is bad gossip, especially when it comes to compliments.
并非所有的八卦都是不好的閑話，尤其是贊美的話。
A study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found what you say about others colors how people see you.
《人格與社會心理學》雜志上的一項研究發現，你對別人的評價會影響別人對你的看法。
If you compliment people, you're likely to be seen positively; if you complain, you're likely to be associated with those negative traits you hate.
如果你贊美別人，聽眾也會用積極的眼光來看待你;如果你抱怨別人，聽眾可能會把你和那些你討厭的消極品質聯系在一起。
When you gossip about others, listeners unconsciously associate you with those characteristics you're describing, eventually having those traits 'transferred' on to you.
當你八卦別人的時候，聽眾會不自覺地把你所描述的那些特征和你聯系在一起，最終把這些特征“轉移”到你身上。
Rule of thumb: if you're going to gossip about people, do it in a positive way.
經驗法則：如果你要聊別人的八卦，就聊正面的內容。
