How to deal with difficult people?

如何和難處的人打交道？

Place a Time Limit on How Long They Can Vent

允許對方發泄，但設定時間限制

Listening, however, doesn't mean you have to listen for hours on end.

傾聽并不表示你必須犧牲幾個小時來聽對方訴說。

Instead, place a time limit on how long you're willing to listen to difficult people vent. Allowing them to repeat themselves over and over isn't likely to be helpful in diffusing the situation.

當對方發泄時，試著設定時間限制，表明自己只能忍受多久；不要縱容對方喋喋不休抱怨，這對處理問題毫無益處。

Make it clear that you've heard what they have to say and that you don't want to be subjected to hearing all their complaints over and over. Instead, try to move the conversation forward in a direct, yet polite manner.

明確告訴對方：你已經知道他們說的是什么，不想遭受怨言的反復轟炸。直接而禮貌地將話題引開。
