“鸡同鸭讲眼碌碌”，这是广东著名电视剧《外来媳妇本地郎》主题曲的一句歌词，这句话形象地说明了语言在沟通中的重要性。正如“一言不合，倒戈相向”所言，语言上的沟通成功与否，有时影响甚大，所以，我们在沟通中要重视语言。
This is a lyric of the theme song of Guangdong famous TV series "foreign daughter-in-law and local Lang", which vividly shows the importance of language in communication. As the saying goes, "one word does not agree with another, but opposes each other", the success or failure of language communication sometimes has a great influence, so we should pay attention to language in communication.
首先，语言对沟通有重要影响。英国有一款小轿车，车型新颖，马力强劲，其性价比十分优越。然而，这款车在德国却打不开销路。英国汽车公司总部百思不得其解，后来派人到德国调查。原来这款车的英文名字被翻译德文后叫“类便”，难怪没有问津了。由此可见了，语言对沟通的影响是多么巨大。语言沟通成功，我们办事就容易得多了。百事可乐公司产品“7up”直译成中文就是“七上”，给人的感觉就是“七上八下”，怪怪的。翻译人员别出心裁，叫它为“七喜”，取“起”的谐音，“起”不就是“上”吗？可这么一改，“七喜”便被广大中国人民接受，销量大增。语言就这样在沟通中扮演了这么一个重要的角色，利用好了，沟通就成功了；利用不好，沟通注定失败，谁愿意买“类便”呢？更不用说坐了。
First of all, language has an important influence on communication. There is a car in the UK with novel model and powerful horsepower. Its cost performance is very superior. However, the car doesn't cost much in Germany. The head office of British Automobile Company was puzzled, and later sent people to Germany to investigate. It turns out that the English name of this car was translated into German as "classy shit". No wonder it's not followed. It can be seen how great the influence of language on communication is. If we succeed in language communication, it will be much easier for us to handle affairs. Pepsi Cola's product "7up" is translated into Chinese as "top seven". It feels like "top seven, bottom eight". It's weird. The translator is unconventional, calling it "seven happiness", taking the homophony of "Qi" and "Qi" is not "Shang"? But with such a change, "seven happiness" will be accepted by the Chinese people and the sales volume will increase greatly. In this way, language plays such an important role in communication. If it is used well, communication will succeed. If it is not used well, communication is doomed to fail. Who is willing to buy "classmate"? Not to mention sitting.
然而，语言不光是口头上的，更重要的是心灵上的，“沟通从心开始”，若谁想光靠一张嘴信口开河与人获得真正意义上的沟通，那他注定要失败。“山中竹笋，皮厚嘴尖腹中空；墙上芦苇，头重脚轻根底浅”，我们周围这些空有三寸不烂之舌的“竹笋”、八面玲珑的“芦苇”又何其多，表面上看，他们确实是擅于沟通，交游广阔，但是实质上，又有谁会与他们有心灵的沟通！无可否认，语言在沟通中有重要地位，但是，若在沟通中过分依赖语言，而不注重内心交流，沟通必然是失败的。
However, language is not only verbal, but also spiritual. "Communication starts from the heart". If anyone wants to get real communication with people by just one mouth, he is doomed to fail. "Bamboo shoots in the mountains have thick skin, sharp mouth and hollow belly; reeds on the walls are light on the head and feet, shallow at the bottom". There are so many bamboo shoots and reeds around us. On the surface, they are really good at communication and have broad friends. But in fact, who can communicate with them in spirit! There is no denying that language plays an important role in communication. However, if we rely too much on language in communication and do not pay attention to inner communication, communication will inevitably fail.
既然语言与沟通关系如此重要，那么我们在沟通中该如何对待语言呢？我认为，必须用最真诚的话语来沟通。梁晓声说，无话可说是一种寂寞。刘英在《现代的寂寞》中说，终日说的话并非内心的话才寂寞，我是认同刘英的，用心中的语言沟通，我们就不会寂寞，沟通成功。
Since language and communication are so important, how should we deal with language in communication? I think we must communicate with the most sincere words. Liang Xiaosheng said, nothing to say is a kind of loneliness. Liu Ying said in modern loneliness that what he said all day long is not what he said in his heart. I agree with Liu Ying. If we communicate with him in his heart, we will not be lonely and succeed in communication.
