   Small talk在西方社交中很重要。不论生人、熟人,聊天寒暄都不能少。可是用英语闲聊真地很词穷!今天Jenny和Tara就要教你最实用的英语small talk话题!

  生人、熟人都要small talk
  Small talk在北美非常普遍。即使陌生人之间,在很多情况下,也要寒暄闲聊几句:
  Strangers 陌生人
  Acquaintances 熟人
  Cashiers 收营员
  Waiters 服务员
  Coworkers 同事
  Neighbors 邻居
  ……
  所以你需要:
  Dummy-proof/fail-proof small talk phrases :不会失败的small talk话题
  #1.怎么打招呼?
  最经典:
  (Good) Morning, afternoon
  Good evening
  注意: 前者母语者常常省略good,语气更加轻松一些。不过后者不可以省略
  最地道:
  Hi there!
  How is it going?
  What's up?
  注意: What's up?非常不正式,是年轻人喜欢的俚语。
  怎么回复?
  Good. 挺好的
  Not bad. 不错
  So far so good. 到目前为止还不错
  什么场合用:
  Anywhere
  小tip: small talk一般不涉及到你生活的细节,所以如果有什么委屈事还是留给家人朋友:
  Keep it positive. 只谈好事。
  #2.如何聊天气?
  虽然聊天气没新意,但的确还是最自然、最容易入手的话题!
  怎么聊?
  Depending on the weather, make appropriate comments: 根据当天的天气,聊对应的
  Nice weather 如果是好天
  What nice weather we are having!
  Gorgeous weather!
  What a beautiful day out!
  Horrible weather 如果是坏天气
  What terrible weather outside!
  The weather sucks.
  注意: suck这个词不太得体的,只能和很熟悉的人说。
  什么场合用:
  Anywhere.
