Bust a Mood 掩飾不良情緒
To have fun, youve got to be fun. Sure, sometimes we are just not "in the mood" to be social, but I know you know how to fake it. And heres the weird part: Scientific research proves that putting a smile on your face will actually conjure the desire to feel like smiling. (And we know that smiling, like yawning, is contagious, so do it。)
要想出去找樂趣，你必須是一個有樂趣的人。當然，有時候你沒什麼心情忙於社交，但我想你肯定知道該怎麼掩飾自己的心情。科學研究有一個奇怪的發現：你強行擠出的笑臉真的會讓你產生想要微笑的渴望。(我們都知道，微笑啊打哈欠啊什麼的是會傳染的，所以就算是擠也擠出一個微笑來吧。)
Create a Memory 打造一段回憶
Do you have "blank canvas" jitters when walking into a party? So hide behind a camera. Taking snapshots is one of the quickest icebreakers in a social situation. And the cool part is distributing your catch later. Photos are the most cherished heirlooms, and with digital photography, youve got a billion chances to get the most amazing shot. The key is to avoid being a nudge, constantly telling everyone to "get together." Just hold the camera above the crowd and snap wildly, randomly, intensely—the fun is seeing what you get when you upload the shots。
剛剛走進一場party時你是不是會覺得大腦一片空白？那就躲到鏡頭後面去吧。給他人拍照是社交場合打破緊張氣氛最快的方法之一。向別人派發你拍的照片多酷呀。照片是最值得珍藏的寶貝，而且有了數碼攝影技術，你可以進行無數次嘗試來獲取一張最驚豔的照片。想要拍出好照片，祕密在於千萬別嘮叨個沒完，讓大家“靠攏一點”。你只需要對著人群舉起相機，帶著熱情，隨心隨機拍攝就好。當你看到自己上傳的照片時，就是拍照真正的樂趣。
Rock Your Specialty 秀出你的專長
Claim ownership of a "specialty" you love to whip up and keep the ingredients on hand. Whether its after the kids baseball game or the place for the late-late, after-after party, make your address the crews place to be (last-minute guests always welcome)。
保持一項你熱愛的專長，而且反覆練習。不管你是在一場兒童棒球賽結束後壓軸出場，還是在一場深夜party上閃亮登場，想辦法在大夥兒都在的時候秀出你的'專長(壓軸出場的來賓總是受歡迎的)。
Introduce Yourself 介紹你自己
A sudden attack of shyness when you dont know a soul in the joint is quite possibly the most universal human experience. But walk through the door expecting to have a great time, and you will. Prep yourself for every situation by reminding yourself that something new and surprising and amazing can always happen—like falling madly in like at first sight with a new friend or simpatico business partner or finding that missing clue to some mystery of the world that youre trying to solve。
如果你不瞭解聚會的精髓，有可能會突然感到非常害羞。其實大多數人都遇到過這種情況。但是如果在進入這場聚會之前默默期待自己會度過一段美好的時光，那麼你就會如願。讓自己做好準備迎接各種場合，提醒自己，總會有一些新奇的、驚喜的甚至驚歎的事情發生，比如說與一位新朋友或者有趣的商業夥伴一見如故，或者解開了一個你正在苦苦思索的世界難題。
Know How to Play 知道該如何玩樂
As in, play a social game for fun, leave obligations behind and have a ball! When I was a kid, my parents told me to pick an instrument and pick a sport. It wasnt about learning how to win or lose or building college application activities, it was about getting me involved in the world, involved with people, building social experiences, building relationships。
當你投入到一場社交活動尋找樂趣時，就把那些未完成的任務拋在腦後盡情享受把！我小的時候，我的父母讓我學習一種樂器和一項體育運動。這並不是為了讓我學會如何去取勝如何去面對失敗，也不是為了申請大學增添砝碼，而是為了讓我更好的融入這個世界，融入周圍的人，累積社會經驗，建立人際關係。
