语言的艺术
在唐朝,有一个人大摆宴席,宴请宾客。
时近中午,还有几个人未到。他自言自语地说:“该来的怎么还不来?”
听到这话,有些客人想:“该来的还不来,那么我是不该来的了?”于是起身告辞而去。
这个人很后悔自己说错了话,连忙解释说:“不该走的怎么走了?”
其他的客人心想:“不该走的走了,看来我是该走的了!”也纷纷起身告辞而去,最后只剩下一位多年的好友。
好友责怪他说“你看你,真不会说话,把客人都气走了。”
那人辩解说:“我说的不是他们。”
好友一听这话,顿时心头火起:“不是他们! 那只有我了!”于是长叹一口气,也走了。
看了这则小故事,我们可能会想这个人怎么这么不会说话,好好的事弄成这样。在生活中,在工作中,我们也可能会犯这样愚蠢的错误。语言是一门艺术,只有用心好好把握,才不会好心办坏事吆!
