1. 首先,电影、餐厅、公众事件、假期和电视节目(films, restaurants, public events, vacationsand TV shows) 这几个都是西方人乐于聊的东西,用它们作为聊天话题绝对没错,不用担心触到雷区~~此外,传说中外国人很喜欢谈论的天气也是可以拿来当话题的,不过有些人会觉得有点无聊就是了。
Do you know if anything good is playing at the cinema right now? 你知道影院里现在有上映什么好电影吗?(“电影院”英国人说cinema,美国人则说movie theater)
I really want to find a good Italian restaurant; any suggestions? 我很想找到一家好的意大利餐馆,你有什么推荐吗?
I saw an advertisement on TV last night for that new show, Prison Break. Have you seen it? 昨晚我在电视里看到那部新剧《越狱》的广告,你看到了吗?
3. 最后,要想把谈话继续下去,最好的办法就是多问问题啦!
比如你问,"Do you know any good Italian restaurants?"(你知道什么吃意大利菜的好地方吗?)对方却回答,"No, sorry—I don't really like Italian food."(对不起我不知道,其实我不太喜欢吃意大利菜……)那你可以接着问,"Oh, ok. What kind of food do you usually go out for then?"(哦~~那你一般出去吃哪种菜呢?)这样就能比较顺利地把话题继续下去啦!
