Unit 1 Oddly enough, influential people may be more recognition-deprived than less influential people. This is because many people are hesitant to offer a compliment to those in power for fear of being accused of playing office politics or being sycophantic.说来也怪，有势力的人可能会比势力小的人更容易被认知剥夺。这是因为很多人害怕被指责玩办公室政治或阿谀奉承者，所以不愿意去恭维权势。 The insecurity that many people feel contributes to the effectiveness of flattery. These people would like to think they are doing their job well, being a good family person, or making a contribution in community service. Yet they are not sure, and because of this less-than-complete confidence in the value of their contribution, they welcome external validation. Flatter a person with lurking insecurity and you have drawn that person toward you. Can you remember a time when you felt insecure while performing a new job? How did you feel when someone whose opinion you respected said, “You’re doing a great job”?很多人感受到的不安全感有助于奉承的有效性。这些人希望认为他们工作做得好，在家里也做的好，或者对社区服务有贡献。但是他们自己并不确定，因为他们评估自己的贡献不够完全自信，他们欢迎来自外部的确认。奉承一个具有潜在不安全感的人会拉近你们的距离。你还能记起刚做一份新工作时感受到的不安全感吗？当那个你比较敬重他意见的人说“你做的很好”的时候你是什么感觉？ Flattery is also effective because many people expect charming and tactful people to flatter. If you withhold all flattery, you run the risk of not being perceived as charming and tactful. Given that charming and tact contribute to magnetism, people are more likely to perceive you as magnetic if you flatter them.因为很多人期待迷人而且识相的人的奉承，这样也是很有效的。如果你保留所有的奉承，那么你走向了一种不会被认为是迷人而且识相的风险中。鉴于迷人和机智有助于吸引力，如果你奉承他们会让他们更喜欢觉得你是一个有吸引力的人。 Assume that you are still skeptical about the reasons I have given for the importance of flattery. Look at the issue from another perspective : Not to flatter others can be a serious career drawback . You can lose out in competition with those who combine good job performance with the ability to flatter. One study on how adv
