如何優雅地結束一段冗長的會話

很多時候，我們在經歷一段冗長的會話後，感覺再談下去會厭煩無趣，但是如果斷然提出終止會話，會讓他人感覺很沒有禮貌，怎麼辦？

這裡有三步教你可以很優雅而不失禮地結束會話：

1. 先說：謝謝您的時間！
2. 提出一個必須立即處理或是必須立即赴約的事件
3. 建議可以進入下一個主題或是可以做結論了

謝謝您的時間！

無論是某人和你有較長時間的會話，或是陪伴你一段時間後，說聲：【謝謝您的時間！】，永遠會是很得體的提示可以結束的語氣。

提出一個必須立即處理或是必須立即赴約的事件

如果你確實有事情必須立即處理，或是必須立即赴另外一個約會，這個時候把這個事實說出來，總是一個必須立即結束會話的好理由。即使不是事實，說出你必須立即離開的一個藉口，通常對方也能體會的。你可以說：

• 哦，已經快6點了，我必須去接我太太了”，或，
• “你知道嗎？我再不走，另一個約會就要遲到了”，或，
• “我實在很想繼續和你談下去，但是，我必須去接我女朋友了”

建議可以進入下一個主題或是可以做結論了

在會話大致有具體共識後，可以適時提出另外約個時間談另外一個主題，或是找個時間請另外一位對這個今天討論題目有興趣的人參加後續討論，或是表示可以將今天討論的內容做結論了，都是一個建設性的結束會話的好理由。

How to end a long conversation gracefully

Many times, after a long conversation, we feel bored and boring to talk about it. But if we put forward to stop the conversation, it will make others feel very impolite. What should we do?

Here are three steps to end the conversation gracefully and politely:

1. First say: Thank you for your time!
2. Propose an event that must be dealt with immediately or that must be attended to immediately.
3. Suggestions can go to the next topic or draw conclusions.

Thank you for your time!

Whether someone has a long conversation with you or has been with you for a while, say, [Thank you for your time! It will always be an appropriate tone to end with a hint.

Propose an event that must be dealt with immediately or that must be attended to immediately.

If you do have something to deal with immediately, or you have to go to another appointment immediately, it's always a good reason to tell the truth that you have to end the conversation immediately. Even if it's not a fact, an excuse that you have to leave immediately is usually appreciated by the other person. You can say:

• "Oh, it's almost 6 o'clock. I have to pick up my wife." Or,
• Do you know? I'll be late for another appointment if I don't leave again.
• "I really want to continue talking with you, but I have to pick up my girlfriend."

Suggestions can go to the next topic or draw conclusions.

When there is a general consensus in the conversation, it is a good reason to put forward another time to talk about another topic, or to invite another person who is interested in this topic to participate in the follow-up discussion, or to express that we can draw a conclusion about the content of today's discussion.
