不管在正式的商务场所仍是相对随意的社交场所,small talk都是人与人之间成立友好关系的纽带。关于英语不怎么好、几有点“社恐症”的人而言,商务场所“准确聊天”其实是太难了!那么今天,和新动态国际英语小编一路领略下商务场所small talk的艺术,让你的聊天不再冷场~
一、什么是small talk?
Small talk: Conversation without real meaning; conversation without any particular purpose; conversation about general subjects; conversation one starts with unfamiliar people in order to be more involved; conversation used to make friends with new people; conversation used to make the atmosphere better.
所谓small talk,就是“闲聊、冷暄”的意思,指没有详细意义的对话;没有特殊目标的对话;关于群众话题的对话;为了进一步融进而展开的与目生人的对话;为告终交新伴侣而展开的对话;为了使气氛更和谐而展开的对话。
二、有哪些Good topics(合适的话题)?
1. How was your flight or train ride? Perhaps the first question you would ask them, out of politeness.
旅途若何?那可能是你起首该问的问题,比力礼貌。
2. How is your hotel? If they have already checked into a hotel, you can ask if their accommodations are acceptable to them. Just another polite question.
你的旅店若何?假设他们已经进住的话,你能够问问他们觉得住宿能否可心,那又是一个比力礼貌的问题哦。
3. Do you play any sports? / Do you play golf? This is a good question to ask Western businessmen especially. Most of them do play golf - it has become very, very common in recent years. Others might play tennis, squash or basketball. Most Western women do yoga or at least go to the gym.
你做什么运动吗?你打高尔夫吗?那个是能够问西方商务人士的很典型的话题。大大都西方商务人士都打高尔夫,近些年,高尔夫已经成为一项非经常见的运动。也有一些可能会打网球,壁球或者篮球的。大部门西方密斯做瑜伽或者至少会往健身房运动。
4. How’s the weather like in your country? Whereabouts are you from?
你们国度气候若何?你来自详细哪个处所呢?
5. American businessmen especially like to get down to business without too much small talk. After your meeting, you could go to a bar or pub to get to know each other better. Your foreign friend will be more relaxed and more talkative in that situation.
美国商人特殊喜欢间接进进商务话题,所以过多冷暄就没必要了。你们会面之后,你们能够往酒吧或酒馆来进一步领会相互。那时你的外国友人会愈加放松,也更健谈些。
三、如何让谈话不掉在地上?
在闲谈过程中,不想冷场的话,要不时地表示出对对方谈话的兴致。常用的短语有:
Really?实的吗?
I see.本来如斯。
What a coincidence!实巧!
That’s amazing!太神异了!、太棒了!
That sounds interesting.听起来很有趣。
Oh dear…天哪!
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that.哦,很遗憾听到那个动静。
四、最重要的是:制止错误的话题!
固然在闲聊的过程中有良多话题能够抉择,但也要重视制止提及一些隐讳的话题。那么到底哪些话题需要制止呢? 如:
Bad topics(不合适的话题)
Health安康
Private life(age,marital status, etc.)私生活(年龄、婚姻情况等)
Personal gossip私家八卦
Religion宗教
Politics政治
Offensive jokes带有冲犯性的打趣
