口语学“消除隔阂”怎么说？

Bingo! 这就是我们今天口语学的短语：Clear the air. 

To clear the air 扫除两世间不高兴的氛围，其实就是“肃清隔阂”的意思。每次我要是跟友人有什么不愉快我都会这么做，clear the air. 坦诚地谈谈问题，其实你们会发明，不什么是不能解决的。说到这，你是不是也有写电子邮件被曲解的时候? 下面的例子里，一个引导要告知我们，假如下属曲解了他的邮件他会怎么做，让咱们来听听看：

"One of my assistants got really upset with me over an e-mail I wrote her. She felt that I was criticizing her for not doing her job right. But my intent was to offer some helpful suggestions. I've invited her out for coffee this afternoon. I'd like to CLEAR THE AIR. I'm hoping to explain what I meant, so that she doesn't feel upset anymore."

［这段话是说: 由于我写的一封电子邮件，我的一名助理很不兴奋。她认为我是在批驳她工作做得不好，但实际上我只是想给她提一些提倡。我邀请她下战书一起去喝咖啡。我想跟她打消隔阂，说明一下我真正的意思，盼望她不再难过了。]

这就是为什么我对写email特别警惕。很多时候一个词，你写的是一个意思，别人看就是另一种语气。所以对我来说，I prefer face-to-face conversation over e-mail. 比起电子邮件，我更爱好背靠背的谈话。

上面咱们说到排除隔阂，切实，家庭成员之间的关联特殊巧妙，也特别难把持。因为接触的太多，我们许多时候可能不经意就损害了本人在乎的人。下面就是这样一个例子，我们来口语学例句表达:

"When mom asked me if she could move in with me after dad died, I told her I needed to think about it. It's not that I don't love her. It's just that I live so far away that she wouldn't be able to see her friends or enjoy her life like before. Fortunately, over dinner last night, we CLEARED THE AIR. She realized that her happiness is very important to me."

[这段话是说: 爸爸过世后，妈妈问我能不能搬来跟我一起住。我告诉她我须要斟酌一下。实在，我不是不爱妈妈，而是我住得太远，搬来跟我一起住，她就没法像以前那样去见友人，像以前那样享受生涯了。还好，昨天吃晚饭时咱们消除了隔膜。她意识到,英语书面语，她的快活对我来说是十分主要的。]

真愉快听到这母女俩能消除隔阂。在很多文明里，子女是要照料年长的父母的。但切实，有时候让白叟分开她熟习的环境并不是一件好事。Both parties should be willing to have a frank conversation, it could save everyone from CLEARING THE AIR later on. 口语学习这类短语最重要的就是我们将此运用到生活，隔阂双方应当开诚布公地谈谈，这样日后就不必再去清除隔阂了。
