如何进一步深入话题
Brain的要点:
建议从对方来自何方,从事何种职业入手
58that'
sgood,whereruandwhatareudoingupherenow?
(你一定要学会这句话)
59Iamintheunitedstatesandusingthemycomputer.

(是呀,你怎么知道的)

02:

reeven(我们扯平了)now,whatisyourworkexactly,ifthereisanychanceforutobeinterestedtellingmethat?
(学会这句地道的美国话,能显示你的水平)
一般人不会在交谈的开始就把自己的职业告诉对方
02iworkintheuniversity,iamteachersaide(助手,相当于assistant).
02o,isee,thatisacareerihavebeenpursuingforalongtime(这也是我理想中的职业,故意奉承
。
再例如:
如果你问老外,Whereareyoufrom?
不管他回答那个国家,你一定要说"
That'
sabeautifulcountry."
),andhowisthatgoingonwithyou.
02itisgoinggreat.
04icanimaginethat,howlonghaveyoubeenworkingtoday?
05ididn'
tworktodayiamoffworktilseptwegetthesummersoff.(放假了,只到9月才开学)
06oh,iamtoostupidtoforgetthat,wehereinChinahavethesummerholidaystoo.
06that'
sright.
Brain的小结:
学会如何询问对方是保持继续交谈的前提,让我们回顾一下,请记住以下几句经典询问句:
whereruandwhatareudoingupherenow?
whatisyourworkexactly,ifthereisanychanceforutobeinterestedtellingmethat?
howlonghaveyoubeenworkingtoday?
下一步怎么办!
(Brain的建议:
如果实在不知道怎么谈,就与对方谈中国,中国在西方人眼中是有着5000年文化历史的文明古国,充满神秘色彩,但很多外国人对中国并不了解,你谈中国,他一定会感谢兴趣的。
)
继续……

(住在学校里还是租的房子)

(什么事情都是相互的,你要是能比较好的引起对方的谈话兴趣,她也会反过来询问你的一些情况的,这不,这个Nikky开始问我了!

(告诉我确切的地方,不要再说你住在美国了。
口语中通常可用"

直接表示"

Brian的小结:
就象我们中国人平常打招呼一样,和老外打招呼也是非常容易的。
简单回顾,举一反三:
WhatpartofChina/Americadoulive?
(最简单的一句话,你一定会用!
HowmanycitieshereinChinaareinyourmemorybesides……?
Shanghai/Beijing/ShenzhenhasbecomeoneofthemostdesirableplacesfortheChinesepeopletolive
Ifsomedayyoureallycanbehere,youcancometoseeme(很好的邀请,尽管你知道她不可能来!

1.3
Brain建议:
(如果有机会,试着聊一聊各自的衣食住行,这是每个人必须面对的问题,也许在某些方面,大家都有相同经历,也是彼此极能产生共鸣的地方。
例如:
先谈租房问题,打工族都面临的问题。
34douliveinapt?
(有没有人被这个缩写词弄糊涂?
一次在上海举办的韩国2001年IT智能小区展示博览会上我就被apt弄糊涂了,后来才知道是"

36ubet(口语习惯用法,表示说的很对,下次遇见老外,碰到她说的对或者你想表示认可的话,就用"

),buttotallyalodgerandigottopaytherent,inshanghai,tofindsomewheregoodenoughisharderthanever(太困难了)!
36itishardheretoo,rentissoveryhigh(纽约房租也很贵的,这句话以我们学过的语法来看,肯定会被挑毛病的,"
so"
和"
very"
连用是什么意思?
可是没有办法,这可是从地地道道的老外嘴里吐出来的。

42yestruebutidoliketogooutandeatonoccasion(偶尔).
43that'
sunderstandableforabadcook(可能是橱艺不咋的吧).
外国人对吃一般都比较感兴趣,特别是中国的吃法,要和他们老外在吃的方面有所切磋的话,你不一定要记得很多个菜名。
说实话,每次在大型的外事场合总会遇到陪老外吃饭的情况,很多所谓的翻译预先紧张的不得不把一个个菜名背的滚瓜烂熟,生怕到时候遇到翻不出来的东西却不一定派的上用场。
我不这样做,因为很多宾馆的菜名除非把厨子喊来,否则根本不知道是用什么做的。
我就曾经遇到过"
白鹤晾翅"
实际上就是"
豆腐加酸白菜"
,所以我只需要简单对他们说"
enjoyyourdinner,uknow,Iamaskedbymysuperiortogiveuwhathellthosecourses(这些菜)aremadeof,Iknowuhaveexperiencedmanyoccasionsandbeentiredoftellingthosenames,sojustenjoyit,andifuthinkit'
stasting,pleaseletmeknow!
"
这句话一说,老外一定会觉得你不一样。
很多老外吃的场合见的很多,已经厌烦了半瓶子水的翻译在一旁词不达意介绍菜名,所以你还是让他先吃吧。
