雙語智慧書·安然退避

73．安然退避
　　安然退避。這是聰明人走出困境的法寶。機智地運用一句巧言，他們就能從最錯綜復雜的迷宮中脫身。用一句空話或一個微笑，他們可擺脫嚴肅的爭論。大部分偉人都擅長此道。當你必須拒絕某件事時，轉換話題通常是最禮貌的方式。有時候，裝作不理解就是最高明的理解。


73．Utilize slips
　Utilize slips. That is how smart people get out of difficulties. They extricate themselves from the most intricate labyrinth by some witty application of a bright remark. They get out of a serious contention by an airy nothing or by raising a smile. Most of the great leaders are well grounded in this art. When you have to refuse, it is often the polite way to talk of something else. Sometimes it proves the highest understanding not to understand.
