有效的溝通有三個關鍵:以理解為動機，用聆聽當方法，讓共識成為目的There are three keys to effective communications: let understanding be your motive, use listening as your method,and set reaching a consensus as your goal. — Lessons from movies
溝通與語言 Communication and Languages
焦傳金教授 Professor Chiao
利用語言與他人溝通似乎是我們認為再平常不過的行為，但從課堂上可以知道，每個人的腦區分布不同，而在維尼克區負責「理解」，布羅卡區負責「產生有文法的語言」，所以可以知道這兩個腦區讓我們可以用語言產生文化，並且與他人有來有往的溝通。
我閱讀了「你一生的預言」這本書，裡面第一章講述的便是語言及溝通的科幻故事。內容講述有一天有許多外星人前來地球，但並未表達任何意思，而美國這邊派出了語言學家露易絲作為與外星人接洽的代表，露易絲將外星人的語言分成兩類，第一大類為由外星人嘴巴發出的聲波，她記錄不同詞性與排列所顯現的差異；也嘗試用文字去研究外星人的語言，發現他們的動詞及名詞並不是我們熟知的文法，他們使用的是「表義文字」，外星人的文字與語言屬於兩套不同的系統。
在漸漸認識外星人的語言後，路易斯發現她開始與他們一樣可以預知未來，看到了一些事情。在這個故事中我體驗到，我們其實都是用語言去認識對方、認識這個世界，語言可以造成衝突，卻也可以成為橋梁。而我想要在未來去旺宏觀賞「異星入境」這部改編自此書的電影!!
It is believed that use languages to communicate with others is such an easy behavior. While I learned that different people have different brain areas. As the Wernicke's area is responsible to the understanding of the sentences and the Broca’s area is responsibility to the production of the grammatical sentences. Consequently, these two brain areas help us to produce culture by using languages and communicating efficiently to others.
I have read a book called ‘’Stories of your life and others’’. The first chapter was talking about the sci-fi story of language and communication. One day, there existed aliens in the world but without any hint of the reason they visit. The USA let Louise, a linguist, to be responsible to the mission that understand why aliens came. Surprisingly, she founded that the words, no, it should be called as ideogram, were not a presentation of their language like human’s. It is a separated system that being totally different from oral presentation. Whereas during the period Louise investigating and learning the language, she had founded that the deeper she understand the language, the more amazing future things she can predict.
Accordingly, the story dawned on me that we could use languages to get on touch with others while if we use it in a wrong way, it may cause war and conflicts; we use it correctly, it would help us construct a bridge of friendship. By the way, I consider to watch the movie of ‘’ Arrival’’, the movie adapted by the book in the future.
