阅读_一课_Keeping promises

Keeping promises is an important part of building trust and maintaining healthy relationships When you make a promise , whether it's to a friend, family member or colleague , you are giving your word that you will follow through on what you said. This is called being “trustworthy” or “reliable".

For example , if you promise a friend that you will help him/her with his/her homework, he/she is relying on you to be there when he/she needs you. If you keep your promise , your friend will know he/she can count on you in the future. On the other hand, if you break your promise, your friend might feel disappointed or hurt and he/she may not trust you as much next time.

In the workplace, keeping promises is equally important. If an employee promises to finish a project by a certain deadline , his/her manager and team members depend on him/her to complete his/her work on time. When everyone keeps their promises, the team works smoothly and projects are completed successfully.

Sometimes , circumstances(环境/状况) change and it may be difficult to keep a promise. In such cases(这种情况下), it is important to communicate openly and honestly with the person you made the promise to. Let him/her know why you can't keep the promise and try to find a solution together. This shows respect and maintains trust, even when things don't go as planned.

Keeping promises, strengthens relationships, builds trust and creates a positive environment whether at home , with friends or in the workplace.

Keeping promises is an important part of building trust and maintaining healthy relationships When you make a promise , whether it's to a friend, family member or colleague , you are giving your word that you will follow through on what you said. This is called being “trustworthy” or “reliable".

守诺是建立信任和维系健康关系的重要部分。当你作出承诺时——无论是对朋友、家人还是同事——你就是在用自己的话语保证会兑现所说之事。这被称为"可信赖"或"可靠"。

 

For example , if you promise a friend that you will help him/her with his/her homework, he/she is relying on you to be there when he/she needs you. If you keep your promise , your friend will know he/she can count on you in the future. On the other hand, if you break your promise, your friend might feel disappointed or hurt and he/she may not trust you as much next time.

例如，如果你承诺朋友会帮他/她辅导功课，对方就会期待在需要时你能出现。若你信守承诺，朋友就知道未来也能依靠你。反之若你食言，朋友可能会感到失望或受伤，下次或许就不会如此信任你。

 

In the workplace, keeping promises is equally important. If an employee promises to finish a project by a certain deadline , his/her manager and team members depend on him/her to complete his/her work on time. When everyone keeps their promises, the team works smoothly and projects are completed successfully.

职场中守诺同样重要。如果员工承诺在截止日期前完成项目，经理和团队成员都指望着他/她按时完成工作。当人人都能信守承诺时，团队运作就会顺畅，项目也能成功完成。

 

Sometimes , circumstances(环境/状况) change and it may be difficult to keep a promise. In such cases(这种情况下), it is important to communicate openly and honestly with the person you made the promise to. Let him/her know why you can't keep the promise and try to find a solution together. This shows respect and maintains trust, even when things don't go as planned.

有时环境变化可能导致难以履约。这种情况下，应当与承诺对象坦诚沟通，说明无法兑现的原因，并共同寻求解决方案。这体现了尊重，即便事与愿违也能维持信任。

 

Keeping promises, strengthens relationships, builds trust and creates a positive environment whether at home , with friends or in the workplace.
无论在家、交友还是职场，信守承诺都能巩固关系、建立信任并营造积极氛围。
