Some people--I guarantee you know people like this--are incapable of hearing anything said by the people they feel are somehow beneath them.
有些人——我保证你一定认识这样的人——听不进任何他们认为地位比他们低的人讲话。
Sure, you speak to them, but that particular falling tree doesn't make a sound in the forest, because there's no one actually listening.
是的，你跟他们讲话，就好像森林中的一颗大树倒下却发不出一点声音似的，因为根本没人在听。
Remarkably charismatic people listen closely to everyone, and they make all of us, regardless of our position or social status or "level," feel like we have something in common with them.
具有超凡魅力的人会亲切地聆听每个人讲话，而且他们会令所有人都感觉不到自己的职位、社会地位或者“档次”，而是觉得我们和他们是有共同点的。
Because we do: We're all people.
因为我们确实有共同点：我们都是人。
