　　總體分析

　　本文主要討論了聽行為對(duì)人際交流的影響。文章第一段從父母和子女之間的交流出發(fā)，說明兒女不聽父母的話造成了他們之間的隔閡。第二段從婚姻的角度出發(fā)，說明夫妻雙方的互不理睬造成交流不暢，從而使離婚率上升。第三段從政治的角度出發(fā)，說明政府官員不聆聽選民甚至不在意自己所說的話，造成官民隔閡。例證法是本文采用的主要的論證方法。

　　全文翻譯

　　最近的一項(xiàng)民意測(cè)驗(yàn)顯示：美國(guó)一半的青少年認(rèn)為他們與父母的交流不好，而且造成這種隔閡的一個(gè)首要原因是有不理想的傾聽行為。一個(gè)典型的例子是，一位母親認(rèn)為她女兒有嚴(yán)重的聽力問題。她對(duì)此確信無疑，于是就帶著女兒去聽覺病矯治專家那兒檢查她的耳朵。專家仔細(xì)檢查了兩只耳朵，然后告訴這位母親說：“她的聽力沒問題，只是不理睬你而已�！�

　　離婚率上升(一半以上的婚姻以離婚告終)的一個(gè)首要原因是夫妻間不能有效地交流。他們彼此充耳不聞。兩人對(duì)對(duì)方發(fā)出的確切信息都毫無反應(yīng)。

　　同樣地，據(jù)政治科學(xué)家報(bào)道，越來越多的人相信他們選舉指派的官員與其本應(yīng)代表的選民失去了聯(lián)系。為什么呢?因?yàn)檫@些人認(rèn)為他們不需要傾聽選民的意見。實(shí)際上，有時(shí)我們的政治家們似乎連自己的聲音都不聽。下面是一個(gè)真實(shí)的例子：在幾年前亞柏克爾克舉行的全國(guó)立法會(huì)議上，一位新聞助理在當(dāng)時(shí)的參議員約瑟夫·蒙圖亞演講前交給了他一份新聞稿。令該新聞助理大吃一驚而使聽眾感到有趣的是，當(dāng)蒙圖亞起來講話時(shí)，他讀的不是演講稿而是那份新聞稿。蒙圖亞先生以“即時(shí)新聞稿。新墨西哥州的民主黨參議員約瑟夫·蒙圖亞昨晚在全國(guó)……上說……”開始，讀完了全部的六頁(yè)新聞稿，并以他“不時(shí)被掌聲打斷”結(jié)尾。
