Hello, everyone. Today I'm going to talk about small talk--that is, short conversations people often have with strangers they meet,
哈嘍，大家好。今天我要講的是閑聊——就是人們經(jīng)常與他們遇到的陌生人進(jìn)行的簡(jiǎn)短交談，
such exchanges occurring at bus stops, on buses, on a waiting line, almost anywhere that strangers gather close together.
這種交流會(huì)發(fā)生在車站、公交車上、排隊(duì)時(shí)，幾乎可以是任何陌生人聚集在一起的地方。
As a matter of fact, these short conversations are a good way for people to say hello and express friendliness.
其實(shí)，這種簡(jiǎn)短的對(duì)話是人們打招呼和表示友好的很好的方式。
Such conversations usually cover a wide range of topics.
這樣的談話通常涉及廣泛的話題，
The topics include weather, customer service, movies, TV shows, local sports or latest news.
話題包括天氣、客戶服務(wù)、電影、電視節(jié)目、當(dāng)?shù)伢w育或最新新聞。
But you should always keep it in your mind that private questions about salaries, family life, religious beliefs and politics should be avoided during these conversations.
但你要時(shí)刻記住，在談話中要避免涉及薪水、家庭生活、宗教信仰和政治等私人問題。
Besides, it's better to ask open-ended questions.
此外，最好問一些開放式的問題。
If you ask visitors "Do you like our city?" They may say simply "Yes".
如果你問游客“你喜歡我們的城市嗎？”他們可能會(huì)簡(jiǎn)單地說“喜歡”。
On the other hand, if you ask, "What do you think of our city?" They would have more freedom to answer it.
另一方面，如果你問，“你覺得我們的城市怎么樣？”那么他們會(huì)有更多的自由來回答這個(gè)問題。
This kind of question also shows that you're interested in them.
這類問題也表明你對(duì)他們感興趣。
If you appear interested in what people are saying, they feel more comfortable talking with you.
如果你表現(xiàn)出對(duì)他們所說的話感興趣，那么他們會(huì)覺得和你交談更自在。
