8种场合下如何开始一段对话
朋友聊天
With friends, you can use informal English expressions like these:
和朋友在一起的时候你就可以用一些非正式的英语表达,以下这些口头语可供参考:
What’s up?
How’s it going?
The correct answer to “What’s up?” is “Not much.” You can then add a detail about what’s happening in your life at the moment. If someone says “How’s it going?” you can answer “Good” or “Not so good” and then say why.
“What’s up?”的正确回答应该是“Not much”,你还可以加上一点你生活中正在发生的事情以作补充。如果有人说“How’s it going?”,你可以回答“Good” 或者 “Not so good”然后说说为什么。
同事聊天
In the office, you use slightly more formal English, such as these common expressions:
在办公室里你就可以用一些稍微正式一点的英语表达方式,就像以下这些习惯用法:
Hi, John. How are you doing?
How’s your day going?
We’re sure having a busy/slow day today.
You can talk about projects you’re working on, or about hobbies you have outside work. Current national and international news is also a good topic of conversation.
你可以聊聊你正在从事的项目,或者工作以外的兴趣爱好。最近的国内、国际新闻也是适合聊天的好话题哦。
在派对或婚礼上聊天
I don’t think we’ve met – I’m Shayna.
Are you from New York?
So, how do you know Mary?
Have you tried the chocolate cake? It’s delicious!
If you’re at a party or wedding, you can start a conversation by asking how the person knows the host of the party (or the people getting married). You can also comment about the food and drinks, or about the music.
如果你在一个派对或者婚礼上,你可以问问对方是怎么认识派对的主人(或者举办婚礼的新人),以此开始对话。你也可以评论一下派对或婚礼上的食物、饮料或者音乐。
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?
和外面遇到的人对话
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?
If you’re in a park, on the street, etc., the most common way to start a conversation is by talking about the weather.
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。
在其他情况下和陌生人聊天
The secret to starting a conversation with someone you don’t know is to make a comment about the current social context. Here are a few examples of how to do this:
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:
美术馆
At an art gallery:
“That’s an interesting painting. What do you think of it?”
酒吧
At a bar:
“This is a great song – I love Latin music. How about you?”
体育比赛现场
At a sports game:
“Wow, that was a great play! So, who’s your favorite player?”
咖啡厅
At a cafe:
“Boy, do I need a coffee!”
音乐会或者重大活动
At a concert or event:
“What a great turnout! Have you ever been here before?”
操场
At a playground:
“My kids are sure full of energy today!
As in the example of the cafe and playground, you don’t need to ask a direct question. You can simply make a comment to the other person, and this is like an invitation for the other person to comment, too. This can then begin a conversation.
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个对话。
