1.朋友聊天
和朋友在一起時(shí),你可以使用一些非正式的英語(yǔ)(精品課)表達(dá),以下這些口頭語(yǔ)可供參考:
What’s up?
How’s it going?
針對(duì)“What’s up?”的正確回答應(yīng)該是“Not much”,你還可以加上一點(diǎn)你生活中正在發(fā)生的事情作為補(bǔ)充。如果有人說(shuō)“How’s it going?”,你可以回答“Good”或者“Not so good”,然后解釋一下為什么。
2.同事聊天
在辦公室里,你可以使用稍微正式一點(diǎn)的英語(yǔ)表達(dá),比如以下這些習(xí)慣用法:
Hi, John. How are you doing?
How’s your day going?
We’re sure having a busy/slow day today.
Have you heard the news about ________?
(on Friday): Have you got any plans for the weekend?
(on Monday): How was your weekend?
在辦公室,你可以聊聊你正在從事的項(xiàng)目,或者工作以外的興趣愛(ài)好。最近的國(guó)內(nèi)外新聞也是適合聊天的好話(huà)題哦。
3.和許久未見(jiàn)的朋友聊天
以下這些表達(dá)方式,適用于和久未謀面的朋友聊天:
Hi Paula! How have you been?
Long time no see!
So, what have you been up to lately?
How’s your family?
Are you still working at ABC Company?
在這種情況下,你可以問(wèn)問(wèn)你的朋友事業(yè)、學(xué)業(yè)、家庭、興趣愛(ài)好方面有沒(méi)有什么新變化。與此同時(shí),你的朋友也很可能會(huì)問(wèn)問(wèn)你最近生活的進(jìn)展。
4.在派對(duì)或婚禮上聊天
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!
如果你在一個(gè)派對(duì)或者婚禮上,你可以問(wèn)問(wèn)對(duì)方是怎么認(rèn)識(shí)派對(duì)的主人(或者舉辦婚禮的新人),以此開(kāi)始對(duì)話(huà)。你也可以評(píng)論一下派對(duì)或婚禮上的食物、飲料或者音樂(lè)。
5.在會(huì)議或工作場(chǎng)所對(duì)話(huà)
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?
這種表達(dá)法既可以用于非正式場(chǎng)合,也可以用于正式場(chǎng)合。你可以問(wèn)對(duì)方的工作情況,他們是哪個(gè)公司的,以及他們對(duì)會(huì)議內(nèi)容的看法。
6.和剛認(rèn)識(shí)的人對(duì)話(huà)
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?
想象一下你有個(gè)朋友Nora,她把你介紹給了她的朋友Ryan。你可以問(wèn)問(wèn)他們是怎么認(rèn)識(shí)的,也可以問(wèn)問(wèn)Ryan的工作。如果Nora說(shuō)Ryan是個(gè)學(xué)生,你就可以問(wèn)問(wèn)他的專(zhuān)業(yè)和年級(jí)。如果Nora介紹Ryan是個(gè)記者、或者是從瑜伽班認(rèn)識(shí)的朋友,或者是個(gè)音樂(lè)家,你就可以問(wèn)問(wèn)他干那行多久了,或者他為什么對(duì)這個(gè)感興趣。他的答案也能給你提供展開(kāi)對(duì)話(huà)的素材。
7.和戶(hù)外遇見(jiàn)的人對(duì)話(huà)
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?
如果你在公園里、街上或者別的地方,要想打開(kāi)話(huà)匣子,最通常的方式就是先聊聊天氣。
8.在其他情況下和陌生人聊天
和陌生人搭話(huà)的秘訣是,就當(dāng)前所處情景發(fā)表評(píng)論。下面有幾個(gè)例子,教你什么場(chǎng)合說(shuō)什么話(huà):
At an art gallery(美術(shù)館): “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(體育比賽現(xiàn)場(chǎng)): “Wow, that was a great play! So, who’s your favorite player?”
At a cafe(咖啡廳): “Boy, do I need a coffee!”
At a concert or event(音樂(lè)會(huì)或其它活動(dòng)): “What a great turnout! Have you ever been here before?”
At a playground(操場(chǎng)): “My kids are sure full of energy today!
就像以上咖啡館和操場(chǎng)兩個(gè)例子一樣,你不需要開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山地問(wèn)問(wèn)題,你可以簡(jiǎn)單地向?qū)Ψ桨l(fā)表一句你的評(píng)論,就好像是邀請(qǐng)對(duì)方一起加入評(píng)論,這樣同樣可以開(kāi)始一段對(duì)話(huà)。
