鲍勃·鲍曼（Bob Bowman）这个名字你可能比较陌生，但说起菲尔普斯你还会不知道吗？Bob就是菲鱼菲尔普斯的导师，见证了菲尔普斯从少年到人父的成长过程，也指导他成为了游泳史上最成功的的运动员之一，夺得了无数奖牌。Bob在接受电视台的采访时，主持人问他喜欢冒险还是求稳时，他是怎么回答的呢？
Chairman: What about risk? I mean a lot of people think the best way to be successful is slow and steady wins the race. Other people take Gambles, they take risk. What are you a fan of?
Bob: I’m definitely a fan of expanding your comfort zone, because no growth takes place in your comfort zone. So when you leave there, you’ll be uncomfortable-that’s when you’re gonna grow the most.
从上述教练的回答中可以得出谈论喜好时的常见的说话逻辑。
- 表明态度 （我）选择冒险
- 解释原因 （因为）舒适区不会进步
- 举例/假设说明 （如果）离开舒适区会感到痛苦，但进步迅速
再来一个Bonus. 主持人提到鲍勃与菲尔普斯关系曾经起伏不定，现在又是怎么样的呢？
Chairman: You guys have famously had an up-and-down relationship over the years, I mean, obviously you’re a great team but there have been some strain times. How is it standing right now?
这是鲍勃的回答。也是遵循了先回答当前处境，然后举例说明的逻辑顺序。
Bob: Oh, it’s never been better. / You know we have a new addition to the family boomer, he actually has my middle name, so it’s been very exciting. We’re very very close right now.
今天我们理清了一下谈论个人偏好以及描述现状的说话逻辑顺序，你学会了吗？
