We’ve all blown first impressions before and we’re still standing. That means they aren’t important, right? Wrongo-mania.
我们都曾搞砸过第一印象，但是我们现在仍然挺好的。这说明第一印象不重要，对吗?不对。
First impressions often times set the stage for an entire relationship, or lack thereof, and if you can learn how to master them you’ll start seeing better results all across the board.
第一印象往往能够加倍设定整个关系的基调， 如果你能学习如何掌控它们，你会开始看到更好的结果。
In your work life, personal life, even love life, first impressions separate the winners from the folks who talk about some day being winners. Here are 7 ways make these crucial moments count.
在你的工作生活、个人生活，甚至是爱情生活中，第一印象能把赢家和谈论自己以后成为赢家的人区分开。下面的这7种方式，能使你留下好的第一印象。
This point one is #1 because it’s the first point of interaction, not to mention the most-commonly screwed up.
这一点是最重要的，因为这是相互交流的起点，如果这都做不好， 更不用说最常见的搞砸了。
And as Wikipedia notes, the greeting we choose, combined with our physical presentation (#2) are the biggest contributors to the mental image we leave someone with.
维基百科上面写道，我们选择的问候方式，和我们的身体表达是给别人留下印象的最主要方式。
Now, we all have that friend who manages to say too much when first meeting someone. He/she opens up into their relationship, pet, and family problems before the other part has muttered a “nice to meet you.”
现在，我们都有第一次和他人见面就说很多话的朋友。他/她在对方刚说出“很高兴遇见你”之后就把他/她的恋爱关系、宠物、家庭问题告诉对方。
While there is a lot to be said for candid honesty and being passionate, this sort of greeting doesn’t go too far in settings where you’re being judged professionally or on some other merit.
虽然坦率诚实、富有激情也很不错，但是这种问候在别人对你职业上的判断或其他优点的判断上没什么好处。
Instead, you odds are much safer with a greeting like “pleasure’s mine”. Then, let the other party do the talking. It’s okay to plan this greeting in advance – the key is to say less and by doing this convey a position of power while commanding respect.
用像“很高兴能为你效劳” 这样的问候，你的优势会更多一些。然后，让对方来说话。提前想好问候语也没关系——关键是少说， 通过这样做，表示地位并赢得尊重。
