Avoid the topic in an allegorical way

When answering a reporter's question, when you encounter a question that you don't want to answer, or a question that has been answered but the other party has asked, you might as well use the allegory method, that is, tell an example for the question, let the other party agree with the truth contained in it, and then apply the truth to the other party's question, so that the answer is self-evident.

If we can turn the passive into the active and let the other party answer the questions instead of ourselves, we can say that it is a higher level in interpersonal response. We can give a similar example to the other party's question, ask the other party to explain the reason, and then go back to the original question to show that the other party's point of view is the answer to the question. At the end of a round, the other party, the "tie bell man" under our guidance, unknowingly became the "Jieling man", so that we can easily get out of the predicament.

When Roosevelt was re elected president of the United States for the fourth time, many reporters rushed to interview him and asked him to talk about his feelings of being re elected four times. A young journalist was received by President Roosevelt as an exception. Instead of answering the questions raised by the young reporters, he invited him to eat a piece of cake first.

The reporter was so happy that he ate the cake quickly. Then the president offered him another piece. When he was about to ask the president to talk, the president asked him to eat a third piece of cake. The young reporter was flattered. Although he was full, he was still gracious and reluctantly ate.

While the reporter was wiping his mouth, President Roosevelt said to him with a smile, "please have another piece." The reporter really couldn't eat any more, so he told the president.

President Roosevelt said to him with a smile, "don't you want me to talk about my feelings for the fourth term? You've just experienced it yourself. "

Roosevelt did not directly tell reporters how he felt, but let him experience his feelings of being re elected president for four times by eating four cakes in a row.
