friends can share up to 1%of the same genes—as much as（as much as…"与……

giving them a choice. For example,you can begin with expressions such as Why
don't we… How about… or use a past tense to distance yourself from the
suggestion: I was wondering whether…
当你提出建议时，少使用直接的语言来发出声明或发号施令。这让对方明白，
你是在给他们一个选择。例如，你可以用这样的表达开头，像"Why don't
we… ""How about… "或者用过去时来委婉表达你的建议：I was wondering
