Alone among strangers: Dealing with a difficult situation
在陌生人中獨(dú)處：應(yīng)對困境
Ben isn't the only person that has experienced this situation. Something similar has probably happened to most of us before.
本不是唯一經(jīng)歷過這種情況的人。類似的事情以前可能在我們大多數(shù)人中都發(fā)生過。
It's natural to feel unsure of ourselves when starting conversations with strangers.
與陌生人交談時(shí)感到不自信是很自然的。
A good starting point is to ask the person questions about himself or herself, or talk about something you both like such as football or pop music.
談話的開頭最好是問關(guān)于對方的問題，或是談?wù)撾p方都喜歡的話題，比如足球或流行音樂。
This can make social situations more relaxed. Then you'll be glad you went to the party.
這會(huì)使社交環(huán)境更加輕松。之后你就會(huì)很高興去參加聚會(huì)了。
Finally, I turned to the person next to me and introduced myself. "Hi," I said. "My name's Ben." "Hi, I'm Tania," the person replied shyly.
最后，我轉(zhuǎn)向身旁的人并介紹自己。“你好嗎？”我說。“我叫本”“嗨，我是塔尼亞?！蹦侨遂t腆地回答。
Then there was a long silence as I kept trying to think about what to say next.
之后是長時(shí)間的沉默，因?yàn)槲乙恢痹谒伎冀酉聛硪f什么。
I felt more and more nervous and the other person was looking uncomfortable, too.
我感到越來越緊張，而對方看起來也不太舒服。
In the end, all I could say was, "Well, it was nice meeting you," and I quickly walked away. I felt so embarrassed that I left the party.
最后，我只能說：“嗯，認(rèn)識(shí)你很高興?！比缓笪揖秃芸熳唛_了。我覺得很尷尬，并離開了聚會(huì)。
It was Friday night and I could hear loud music and people talking as I walked through the door.
這是星期五的晚上，當(dāng)我走過大門時(shí)，我能聽到嘈雜的音樂和人們在交談。
My friend saw me and came over. "Hey, Ben! Thanks for coming to my party!" he said. "Thanks for inviting me. It looks like a great party," I replied.
我的朋友看到我就走過來?！昂?，本！謝謝你來參加我的聚會(huì)?！彼f?！爸x謝你的邀請。這聚會(huì)看上去太棒了?！蔽一卮鹫f。
But I had a secret feeling of fear. I realized that I didn't know anyone there. I moved towards the drinks table and got a drink.
但我有一絲隱隱的恐懼感。我意識(shí)到，我誰都不認(rèn)識(shí)。我走向桌子弄了杯喝的。
Then I nervously stood in a corner, not quite sure what to do.
然后我緊張地站在角落里，不知道該做些什么。
