Soon he struck(strike) up a conversation with the woman about her baby and his grandchildren, and soon the entire reception room joined in, and the boredom and tension were converted into a pleasant and enjoyable experience.”【10】这位先生会怎么做呢？当然就像你我一样，他回头向小婴儿笑笑，很快就和这位女士谈论起这个小宝贝和自己的孙辈们来，一会儿，整个候诊室都加入了谈论，无聊的烦躁化成了一次愉悦的经历。
