·        

          hookup: 搭讪

·        strike up a conversation/start aconversation: 开始聊天，通用词

·        不要像背稿子一样死记硬背

·        那样的话，你聊的内容总是很老套、很局限

·        掌握一些实用的谈话逻辑

一、开始聊天

·         初次见面，聊天很简单，从自己谈起！

Talk about yourself: who you're, whereyou're from;

但是别两句话结束, 多扩展一些.

Build on the conversation.

不要问“What's your name?”听起来像小学生

 SHAPE  \* MERGEFORMAT

二、自我介绍

·        Introduce your name first.

·        And say"And you are?"

例如:

Hi, I'm Michelle, and you are?

其实对方在听了你的名字后，基本上会自然地告诉你他／她的名字。

三、问职业

除了 "What's your job?"，还有更多问法：

如果你已经知道对方工作的行业(industry specific)，可以这么问：

·        What company are you with？

如果你什么都不知道，那么可以这么问：

·        What do you do for a living?

·        What kind of work do you do?

接着这些问题，可以继续问下去：

·        How long have been working at this company/in this industry?

·        How long have you been in that line of work?

·        How long have you been working in (industry)?

·        How long have you been working in marketing?

·        When did you start your own company?

·        Have you always been in education?

Tailor your questions to what they do: 按照对方的行业进行扩展

四、问来自哪里 "Where are you from?"或者”Wheredo you come from”

如果你去过这个国家或者城市，可以说：

I have been there before. 或者 I went there 3 yearsago.

接下来，继续和对方聊你去他的国家或城市的经历。如果你知道那里的特色、文化、美食，就可以展开话题。

They will feel: Wow, you know where I'mfrom! 我说一点跟他们家乡有意思的小事情，他们都会觉得：哇，你知道那里！

即使你没去过，也有很多可以说！

·        What is (where they're from) like? 你的家乡是怎么样的呀？

·        I've always wanted to go there but I haven't had the chance. Tell me moreabout it. 我总想去那儿，但一直没机会。你给我讲讲吧

反过来，你也可以讲讲你的城市

五、怎么自然地结束谈话？Wrap up a conversation gracefully

结束谈话，用下面三个步骤：

1. 释放结束信号（Signal）

·        It's been really nice meeting you.

·        It's been a pleasure meeting you.

·        It's been very nice talking to you.

回答： Likewise./Me too.

2. 交换联络方式 (exchange contact information)

·        Let's keep in touch.

·        Are you on WeChat?Do you use WeChat?(QQ)/ Do you have WeChat? (QQ)

外国人多用facebook 或 WhatsApp

Or we can exchange email.

email作专属名词、专业术语时，不可数；作为我们实际所发送或者收到的一封封的邮件，是可数。

·        Do you have a card?(不是name card, 而是business card)

3. 最后说 (Enjoy...)

Enjoy the rest of ________.

·        Enjoy the rest of the/your day. 好好享受今天余下的时间（祝你接下来的时间都愉快）

·        Enjoy the rest of the/your stay.

·        Enjoy the rest of the/your evening.

·        Enjoy your stay here in China
