和外国朋友聊啥不尴尬?

不知道大家有没有这样的经历:有时和外国朋友聊天不知道该说些什么,因为不知道想说的话题会不会是人家文化里不应该谈及的,问了会不会造成尴尬的局面。今天就来说一说,对于西方人,哪些话题是绝对安全的,甚至是受欢迎的。(不过要申明,人跟人终究是不同的,这只是个指导,不能保证是“万金油”话题哟!)

首先,电影、餐厅、公众事件、假期和电视节目(films, restaurants, public events, vacations and 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。

其次大家要了解,西方人还蛮喜欢给朋友建议的,所以如果你拿某件事儿来问他们,他们会很乐意给你答案的。比方说: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?

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 dont 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!

你是乐观“向日葵族”吗?

还记得向日葵班的老师被小新逼得抓狂吧?我们这里说的是乐观精神第一的“向日葵族”哦!小时候,老师说过,向日葵的花永远是跟着太阳走的。太阳走到哪里,花就面向哪里。所以,向日葵花也叫做太阳花。在我们的生活中,有这样一类人,他们总是乐观面对一切,每件事他们都能看到积极的一面,把他们叫做“向日葵族”应该很恰当吧。

The term “sunflower clan” is used to refer to people who, just like a sunflower, always look on the bright side of life and are resilient to pressure as they easily forget about unhappiness.

“向日葵族”指那些像向日葵一样的人,他们总能看到生活积极的一面,面对压力能够坦然应对,对于不快乐的经历能够转眼就忘记。

People in the sunflower clan are not that ambitious, and are easily content with what theyve got.They believe that less desire can lead to more happiness.

向日葵族没有太大野心,“知足常乐”是他们信奉的座右铭之一。他们相信欲望越少,越容易快乐。
