🎧 节目简介
你有没有遇到过这种情况：原本不想去参加聚会，结果朋友三言两语就把你说动了？或者你想让不想加班的同事帮你个忙，需要一点“语言艺术”？
在英语中，当我们需要改变别人的主意，或者被别人改变主意时，除了 "persuade"，还有一个非常地道、画面感极强的短语。
本期 Beyond English 不止英语，Mandy 和 Patrick 带你解锁 "Talk into" 的用法，并分享另外两个关于“说服”与“劝退”的地道表达。

🗣️ BILINGUAL SCRIPT (中英对照 · 辅助理解)
Patrick: You know, Mandy, I noticed something interesting about human nature today. We often think we know what we want, but we are actually quite easily influenced.
Patrick: 你知道吗，Mandy，我今天发现了关于人性的一点有趣之处。我们常以为自己知道想要什么，但其实我们很容易受影响。
Mandy: That is so true. Actually, that happened to me last weekend. I swore I was going to stay home and clean my apartment. I was determined.
Mandy: 太对了。其实，上周末我就遇到了这事。我发誓我要待在家打扫公寓。我很坚决。
Patrick: But let me guess. You didn't stay home?
Patrick: 让我猜猜。你没待在家？
Mandy: No! My friend called me. She kept saying how great the weather was, and how delicious the brunch would be. Before I knew it, I was in her car. She completely changed my mind.
Mandy: 没有！我朋友给我打电话。她一直说天气多好，早午餐多好吃。不知不觉，我就坐进她车里了。她彻底改变了我的主意。
Patrick: I see. She was very persuasive. There is a perfect phrasal verb for what she did. She: Talked you into it.
Patrick: 我明白了。她很有说服力。有个完美的动词短语来形容她做的事。她：Talked you into it（说服了你/把你劝动了）。
Mandy: Talked me into it. It sounds like she used words to push me into a situation.
Mandy: 说服了我。听起来就像她用语言把我推到了一个情境里。
Patrick: That is a great way to visualize it. Imagine "it" is a room or a box. You are standing outside, saying "No, I don't want to go in."
Patrick: 这是一个很好的具象化方式。想象“它”是一个房间或者盒子。你站在外面说，“不，我不想进去。”
Patrick: But she uses her words to gently guide you, step by step, until you are inside the room. She talked you "into" the activity.
Patrick: 但她用语言一步步温柔地引导你，直到你进了房间。她把你“说进了”那个活动里。
Mandy: That describes it perfectly. I didn't want to go, but her words moved me. So, are there other ways to express this feeling of being persuaded?
Mandy: 描述得太完美了。我不想去，但她的话打动了我。那么，还有其他方式来表达这种被说服的感觉吗？
Patrick: Yes. If you were really reluctant, and she had to ask you many times, you could say: "She twisted my arm."
Patrick: 有。如果你真的很不情愿，而她不得不求你很多次，你可以说：“She twisted my arm（她扭了我的胳膊/她硬拉着我去了）。”
Mandy: Twisted my arm. That sounds painful!
Mandy: 扭我的胳膊。听起来好疼！
Patrick: It is a metaphor. It means she put a little pressure on you until you said yes. "I didn't want to go, but she twisted my arm."
Patrick: 这是个隐喻。意思是她给你施加了一点压力，直到你答应。“我本来不想去，但她硬拉着我去了。”
Mandy: I like that one. And what if the situation is reversed? What if I want to stop someone from doing something stupid?
Mandy: 我喜欢这个。那如果情况反过来呢？如果我想阻止某人做蠢事呢？
Patrick: Then you use the opposite preposition. You: Talk them out of it.
Patrick: 那你就用相反的介词。你：Talk them out of it（劝阻他们/把他们劝出来）。
Mandy: Ah, like "I talked him out of buying that expensive car."
Mandy: 啊，比如“我劝他别买那辆昂贵的车。”
Patrick: Exactly. You used words to guide him "out" of the bad idea.
Patrick: 没错。你用语言引导他从那个坏主意里“出来”。
Mandy: So, Patrick, can I use "talk into" at work?
Mandy: 那么，Patrick，我能在工作中使用 "talk into" 吗？
Patrick: You can, but it implies the other person was resistant at first.
Patrick: 可以，但这暗示对方一开始是抗拒的。
Mandy: For example, if I want to try a new software?
Mandy: 比如，如果我想尝试一个新软件？
Patrick: You could say: "I managed to talk my boss into trying the new system." It shows you were successful in persuading him.
Patrick: 你可以说：“我成功说服我老板尝试新系统了。”这表明你在说服他这件事上成功了。
Mandy: That sounds like an achievement. Now, is there any nuance I should watch out for?
Mandy: 听起来像是一种成就。现在，有什么细微差别我需要注意的吗？
Patrick: Yes. "Talk into" is slightly manipulative. It is different from "Convince."
Patrick: 有。"Talk into" 带有一点点操纵的意味。它和 "Convince"（使信服）不同。
Mandy: How so?
Mandy: 怎么说？
Patrick: "Convince" is usually about changing someone's belief with logic. "Talk into" is about changing someone's action, sometimes using charm or pressure.
Patrick: "Convince" 通常是用逻辑改变某人的信念。"Talk into" 是改变某人的行动，有时会用到魅力或压力。
Mandy: So I convince him that the car is bad, but I talk him out of buying it.
Mandy: 所以我让他信服（convince）那辆车不好，但我劝阻（talk out of）了他购买的行为。
Patrick: Perfect distinction. Listeners, has anyone talked you into something recently?
Patrick: 完美的区分。听众朋友们，最近有人说服你们做什么事了吗？
Mandy: Did you regret it? Or was it fun?
Mandy: 你后悔了吗？还是很有趣？
Patrick: Tell us in the comments. Take care, everyone.
Patrick: 在评论区告诉我们。保重，各位。
