5.在会议或工作场所对话 I don’t think we’ve met – I’m Shayna. So, where are you from? What did you think of the speaker? That was an excellent workshop – I learned a lot. How about you? 这种表达法既可以用于非正式场合,也可以用于正式场合。你可以问对方的工作情况,他们是哪个公司的,以及他们对会议内容的看法。
6.和刚认识的人对话 Nice to meet you! How do you two know each other? So, what do you do for a living? (= what is your job?) What are you studying? How long have you been (a journalist / doing yoga / interested in music)? How did you get into it? 想象一下你有个朋友Nora,她把你介绍给了她的朋友Ryan。你可以问问他们是怎么认识的,也可以问问Ryan的工作。如果Nora说Ryan是个学生,你就可以问问他的专业和年级。如果Nora介绍Ryan是个记者、或者是从瑜伽班认识的朋友,或者是个音乐家,你就可以问问他干那行多久了,或者他为什么对这个感兴趣。他的答案也能给你提供展开对话的素材。
7.和户外遇见的人对话 It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it? It looks like it’s going to rain/snow. Can you believe all this rain/snow we’ve been having? Sure is a hot/cold one today! Your dog is so cute! What’s his name? 如果你在公园里、街上或者别的地方,要想打开话匣子,最通常的方式就是先聊聊天气。
8.在其他情况下和陌生人聊天 和陌生人搭话的秘诀是,就当前所处情景发表评论。下面有几个例子,教你什么场合说什么话: At an art gallery(美术馆): “That’s an interesting painting. What do you think of it?” At a bar(酒吧): “This is a great song – I love Latin music. How about you?” At a sports game(体育比赛现场): “Wow, that was a great play! So, who’s your favorite player?” At a cafe(咖啡厅): “Boy, do I need a coffee!” At a concert or event(音乐会或其它活动): “What a great turnout! Have you ever been here before?” At a playground(操场): “My kids are sure full of energy today! 就像以上咖啡馆和操场两个例子一样,你不需要开门见山地问问题,你可以简单地向对方发表一句你的评论,就好像是邀请对方一起加入评论,这样同样可以开始一段对话。(来源:看东西) |
