Question — how much of what you “say” is actually interpreted through body language and tone of voice?

　　提问——与人交流时，有多少信息是通过身体语言和语调表达出来的呢？

　　Professor Albert Mehrabian has stated that only 7% of a message is conveyed verbally, through words. The other 93% is split between tone of voice (38%) and body language (55%). And in a job interview, it’s important to take control of your body language as much as possible. After all, even though you may say all the right things, your body can be telling the interviewer a completely different story.

　　阿尔伯特·梅拉宾教授指出，只有7%的信息是通过语言传达的，而其他93%的信息是通过声音语调（38%）和身体语言（55%）传达的。工作面试时，得体的身体语言非常重要，否则，即便你的语言表达无可挑剔，你的身体语言却已经出卖了你。

　　1. Don’t Make a Feeble First Impression

　　不要给人软弱的第一印象

　　It’s been said that employers can spot the right candidate within 30 seconds, and that’s all about body language. Be confident, but not arrogant. Walk in with a smile, without fiddling with anything you’re wearing, and give a firm handshake.

　　雇主能在30秒之内确定面试者是否是合适的雇员，身体语言起到了非常重要的作用。要自信，但不要傲慢。走进房间时面带微笑，不要摆弄身上的物件，握手时坚定有力。
