搭讪并没有你想的那么难,芥末酱来教你八种场合如何用英语搭讪!
朋友
What’s up?
How's it going?
同事
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?
在办公室里,你可以使用稍微正式一点的英语表达,可以聊聊你正在从事的项目,或者工作以外的兴趣爱好。最近的国内外新闻也是适合聊天的好话题哦。
许久未见的朋友
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?
和久未谋面的朋友聊天可以问问你的朋友事业、学业、家庭、兴趣爱好方面有没有什么新变化。与此同时,你的朋友也很可能会问问你最近生活的进展。
派对或婚礼
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。
会议/工作场所
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?
这种表达法既可以用于非正式场合,也可以用于正式场合。你可以问对方的工作情况,他们是哪个公司的,以及他们对会议内容的看法。
刚刚认识
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?
想象一下你有个朋友Nora,她把你介绍给了她的朋友Ryan。你可以问问他们是怎么认识的,也可以问问Ryan的工作。如果Nora说Ryan是个学生,你就可以问问他的专业和年级。如果Nora介绍Ryan是个记者、或者是从瑜伽班认识的朋友,或者是个音乐家,你就可以问问他干那行多久了,或者他为什么对这个感兴趣。他的答案也能给你提供展开对话的素材。
户外
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。
其他场景陌生人
At an art gallery(美术馆): “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(体育比赛现场): “Wow, that was a great play! So, who’s your favorite player?”
At a cafe(咖啡厅): “Boy, do I need a coffee!”
At a concert or event(音乐会或其它活动): “What a great turnout! Have you ever been here before?”
At a playground(操场): “My kids are sure full of energy today!
和陌生人搭话的秘诀是,就当前所处情景发表评论。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段对话。
你学会了嘛 学会了就赶紧到处勾搭吧~~~
