中2018上半年英语六级翻译模拟题：及时灭火
请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
及时灭火
面对一个怒发冲冠的人，“和他计较”是最糟糕的做法。在这种时候，任何不当的言行都很可能会火上浇油——即使是正常的举止，在愤怒的人眼中也会被误读。遇到这种情况，最好的办法是安静地坐下来，等他们宣泄完怒气，然后问道：“您愿意先冷静一下，然后挑个时间，让我们来讨论一下XX问题吗?”假如你话音刚落，对方又开始大发雷霆——没关系，保持淡定，再试一次。
参考译文
Fight fire with ice
The worst thing you can do with an angry or irrational person is engage him or her. In the heat of aggression, any word or action interpreted as aggressive in response will only trigger more aggression – and most of the item, if someone is upset and railing about it, every word and action will be read as aggression. As hard as it might seem to do, the best thing is to sit quietly and let them spend themselves ranting and raving, and then ask if they’d like to schedule a time to discuss the matter more calmly and return to whatever you were doing. If this sets off another round of yelling, simply wait it out and repeat。
