如何与外国人搭讪?


搭讪是件技术活,尤其是对在美国初来乍到的筒子们。如何打破僵局,交到外国朋友?以下几个小妙招,教你说出第一句~


妙招一:破冰笑话
-How much does a polar bear weigh?-How much?-Enough to break the ice! Hi, my name is John.
妙招二:似曾相识
You look like someone I know. 你跟我一个朋友长得好象。Haven't we met before? 我们之前见过吧?“Don’t I know you from physics class?”
妙招三:借题发挥
That's a great haircut.         你的发型很棒。

“Hey, nice shoes.”

你的鞋子很好看。(To the bartender) I'll have what the handsome gentlman (beautiful lady) is having. (对酒保说)我要跟这位帅哥(美女)点一样的东西。
妙招四:略施小惠
Can I buy you a drink? 我可以请你喝一杯吗?You have a great smile. 你的笑容很美。


那么在具体的场景中怎么使用它们呢?

01


朋友聊天



和朋友在一起时,你可以使用一些非正式的英语表达,以下这些口头语可供参考:

What’s up?

How’s it going?

针对“What’s up?”的正确回答应该是“Not much”,你还可以加上一点你生活中正在发生的事情作为补充。如果有人说“How’s it going?”,你可以回答“Good”或者“Not so good”,然后解释一下为什么。
02
同事聊天



在办公室里,你可以使用稍微正式一点的英语表达,比如以下这些习惯用法:

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?

在办公室,你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。
03
和许久未见的朋友聊天



以下这些表达方式,适用于和久未谋面的朋友聊天:

Hi Paula! How have you been?

So, what have you been up to lately?

How’s your family?

Are you still working at ABC Company?

在这种情况下,你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。
04
在派对或婚礼上聊天



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。
05
在会议或工作场所对话



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。
06
和刚认识的人对话



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。
07
和户外遇见的人对话



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。不要以为只有和英国人聊天才聊天气哦~
08
在其他情况下和陌生人聊天



和陌生人搭话的秘诀是,就当前所处情景发表评论。下面有几个例子,教你什么场合说什么话:

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!

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。

接下来就看你们的了,记得结合场景灵活使用哦~
