- 同事兴冲冲地提出一个"每天发几十个猫咪视频冲粉丝"的怪点子,另外两人一路质疑、追问细节,最后半信半疑地同意先试试看——很真实的职场脑力风暴场景。
- 示范了怎么在不打击对方积极性的前提下,提出质疑、要求对方说清楚可行性,是比单纯"agree/disagree"更进阶的辩论技巧。
- 学完能掌握"我没听懂你在说什么"（I'm a bit lost)、"你有没有想过……"（Have you considered the fact that...)这类挑战对方逻辑漏洞的说法。
- 结尾提出"折中方案"（先试两周看效果),也顺便示范怎么在争论后给出一个双方都能接受的下一步。

情景对话
Vanya：Guys! I've got it! I've figured it out!
Emir：Figured what out?
Paul：That it's polite to knock on the door before coming in?
Vanya：This idea is just too good, Paul! It's too good!
Paul：Go on, then.
Vanya：So! Cats!
Emir：I'm a bit lost. What are you talking about?
Vanya：Videos. Cat videos! For our social media account. Hundreds of them. Everyone loves cats!
Paul：I hate cats.
Vanya：Everyone except you, Paul.
Paul：Have you considered the fact that we're a branding agency, not a pet shop?
Vanya：I take your point, Paul, but, come on, be imaginative! Cat videos are some of the most searched videos on the internet.
Emir：I see where you're coming from, Vanya, but I think I agree with Paul here. How is this relevant for a branding agency?
Vanya：Look. Social media, it's a numbers game. If we share dozens of cat videos each day, then we get more followers.
Emir：That's true. So how exactly do you see this working? I mean, who's going to find all these videos?
Vanya：Erm, OK, I'm very aware of the challenges here, but I'm convinced this is going to work.
Paul：I'm not so sure.
Emir：Well, I guess you have to look at it from both sides. Why don't we try it for a couple of weeks and see if there's any impact?
Vanya：Great! We are going to get so many more followers. I'm absolutely positive!
Paul：Good luck with that! I hope it doesn't turn out to be a cat-astrophe ... What? ... It's a good joke.
Vanya：各位！我想到了！我搞懂了！
Emir：搞懂什么了？
Paul：搞懂进门前要先敲门比较有礘貌？
Vanya：这个点子真的太好了，Paul！真的太好了！
Paul：那你说说看。
Vanya：就是！猫！
Emir：我有点跟不上。你在说什么？
Vanya：视频。猫咪视频！给我们的社媒账号用。做几百个。人人都爱猫咪！
Paul：我讨厌猫。
Vanya：除了你之外，大家都爱，Paul。
Paul：你有没有想过，我们是品牌顾问公司，不是宠物店？
Vanya：我明白你的意思，Paul，但你也想开一点嘛！猫咪视频是网络上搜索量最高的视频之一。
Emir：我明白你的想法，Vanya，但这点我同意 Paul。这跟品牌顾问公司有什么关系？
Vanya：你听我说。社交媒体这东西就是拼数字。我们每天发几十个猫咪视频，粉丝就会变多。
Emir：这倒是真的。那你觉得具体要怎么做？我是说，谁会去找这些视频？
Vanya：嗯，好吧，我很清楚这里面的难度，但我很确定这会成功。
Paul：我可不太确定。
Emir：好吧，我觉得凡事要看两面。我们要不要先试个两星期，看看有没有效果？
Vanya：太好了！我们会多很多粉丝的。我百分百确定！
Paul：祝你好运啦！希望这不会变成一场"猫"难……怎么？……这是个很不错的笑话嘛。

发音 / 语调提示
- "I take your point, but…" 里 but 前面要有个明显的停顿和降调,让对方感觉到"铺垫已经结束,真正的反对意见要来了",连在一起念会让让步和反驳混成一句话,失去效果。
- Have you considered the fact that…? 是个很长的质疑句,重音要落在 considered 和 fact 上,语调保持理性/好奇而不是指责,否则容易让对方觉得被冒犯。
- How exactly do you see this working? 里 exactly 要重读拉长,表达"我真的想知道具体做法",平淡念出来容易被误会成讽刺挖苦而非认真提问。
