第二部分 SMALL TALK
Everyday Expression
見面寒暄是一門藝術(shù),根據(jù)時(shí)間、空間、關(guān)系的遠(yuǎn)近,所要完成的交流功能大相徑庭。成功的開場(chǎng)是展開一個(gè)精彩話題的基礎(chǔ),記住把握你自己的機(jī)會(huì)。
Sentence Pattern: Open Develop Close
How to open the conversation?
打開對(duì)話的方式有千萬種,但是下面是幾種最不好的去open the conversation的句子,大家一定不要用。
1. Can I practice English with you? / Can I speak English with you?
2. Do you speak English? Do you wanna talk with me?
在你要打開你的對(duì)話時(shí),你一定考慮到對(duì)方會(huì)怎么感覺或者對(duì)方所尊重的價(jià)值觀。
一個(gè)成功的opening從語言的角度來說有千萬種表達(dá)方式,但是你的思維應(yīng)該這么想,你的任何語言都要基于你對(duì)現(xiàn)在處的情況的理解。
例如:在汽車站,你遇到一個(gè)美國(guó)人,你想跟他練英語,怎么辦?
能夠引起你倆之間的接觸是談?wù)撈囌镜那樾巍?梢哉務(wù)撘恍┙煌顩r或公交狀況等等。引起共鳴后,可將話題進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)展,隨后自我介紹,進(jìn)入談話。
A: Well it’s really a long time waiting for a bus.
B: ya, traffic is really a big problem in Beijing.
A: ya, traffic is a problem in the whole China. By the way, my name is XXX, a student …
例如:在大學(xué),有一個(gè)美國(guó)女生坐在長(zhǎng)椅上讀書,你想跟她練英語,怎么辦呢?
你可以說在這個(gè)情景下會(huì)產(chǎn)生共鳴的一些話題。可以假裝問路,說一些關(guān)于圖書的事情。
A: Well you should be pretty good at Chinese!
B: Excuse me, where can I find the library?
Small Talk 1:
Sam: Hi, how is it going?
Ted: Pretty good, Sam. Only the awful weather, you know.
Sam: That’s right. I’ve never really liked it since I got here.
Ted: Me either, but I’m dealing with it anyway.
How is it going? How’s going? 一個(gè)很舒服的打招呼的方式。
天氣是一個(gè)永遠(yuǎn)的safe talk。對(duì)于年齡,薪金,politics, religions, abortion, gays, lesbians等隱私性、爭(zhēng)議性的問題不要談?wù)摗?梢哉務(wù)撎鞖猓瑃ravelling, pets, 男生可以談?wù)剆ports, NBA, 女生可以談cosmetics, dress.
Small Talk 2:
A: I’m glad to have had the opportunity to meet you here.
B: I trust you’re keeping well?
A: I’m doing great, thank you.
B: So we can get down to business.
這一段是在很嚴(yán)肅的場(chǎng)合下,兩個(gè)人在談話。
Small Talk 3:
A: Ah, Bob. Just the person I wanted to see.
B: So what is it?
A: You gotta help me out this time, buddy.
B: Another tough thing, I guess.
這是兩個(gè)非常熟悉的老朋友在談話。
