言说之巧(上) 疑人的事不可言说蛊惑的事异端邪说没有的事绝不妄说他家的事不太好说理亏的事不容分说害人的事永远不说错误的事不能传说听来的事宁可莫说感情的事无话可说不实的事千万别说尴尬的事羞对人说误会的事就怕不说街坊的事道听涂说生气的事缓和再说失误的事总会被说道歉的事要自己说纷诤的事再也不说扫兴的事何必多说劝诫的事看情况说曾经的事好歹一说(言說之巧(上) 疑人的事不可言說蠱惑的事異端邪說沒有的事絕不妄說他家的事不太好說理虧的事不容分說害人的事永遠不說錯誤的事不能傳說聽來的事寧可莫說感情的事無話可說不實的事千萬別說尷尬的事羞對人說誤會的事就怕不說街坊的事道聽塗說生氣的事緩和再說失誤的事總會被說道歉的事要自己說紛諍的事再也不說掃興的事何必多說勸誡的事看情況說曾經的事好歹一說) The Art of Talking (1) Do not speak about your doubts of others. Spells and bewitchment are heretical teachings. Do not mention something that is not true. It is not your place to talk about others' family matters. Needless to defend yourself when in a wrong position. Never say anything that may cause harm to people. Never spread unwholesome and detrimental news. It is better not to discuss mere hearsay. There is nothing to say about relationships. Never bring up anything that is not true. Hold back sharing your moments of embarrassment. Be sure to clarify your misunderstandings. Neighborhood rumors are just gossip. Think thrice before you speak out of anger. Mistakes are always being mentioned. Apologies should be said in person. Never speak again of past disputes. There is no need to mention what may dampen moods. Give your advice only according to circumstances. It does not hurt to mention past experiences.
