PASSAGE 15: Importance of communication

第十五篇：交流的重要性

Communication is extremely important in any relationship. Importance of Communication has been stressed time and again. Lack of communication creates a number of problems that only increase with time.??

在任何關(guān)系中，溝通都極其重要。溝通的重要性再強(qiáng)調(diào)也不為過。隨著時間推移， 缺乏溝通會產(chǎn)生許多問題，并且問題會不斷累加。??

It is often seen that the families where people talk to each other frequently are happier. They share their joys, sorrows and other emotions with each other. There is a lively atmosphere in such families. They laugh it out together and celebrate every moment whole-heartedly. Such is the importance of communication.??

通常而言，家庭成員如果溝通頻繁，那么這家人就會生活更愉快。他們分享喜悅、 悲傷和其他感情。整個家庭都會因此而生機(jī)勃勃。他們同歡笑，全心全意慶祝每 一刻。由此可見，溝通如此重要。??

Compared to this, the families where all the members are busy with their own tasks are usually not as happy. The atmosphere in such families is quite dull and gloomy. They plan outings with their friends and colleagues rather than their family members.?

相對而言，家庭成員如果么個人都忙自己的事情，家庭就沒那么快樂。這個家庭 的整個氛圍非常沉悶和陰郁。家庭成員各自安排和他們的朋友和同事出行，而不 是和其他家庭成員一起出行。??

This is because they have neglected the importance of communication all along and are thus not comfortable communicating with each other. And without good communication there is no way one can enjoy. People in such families often find themselves lonely and even get into depression.?

這是因?yàn)樗麄円恢焙鲆暅贤ǖ闹匾?，因而溝通的時候也覺得不自在。家庭成員 會覺得自己很孤獨(dú)，甚至?xí)忌弦钟舭Y。??

Similarly, lack of communication is harmful in every situation. We must all realise the importance of communication.??

同樣地，每一種情況缺乏溝通都是有害的。我們必須意識到溝通的重要性。??
