My name is Emma, and in today's video we are
going to talk about something very, very important

我的名字是艾瑪，在今天的視頻中，我們是。
要談的東西非常，非常重要

So, I'm first going to talk about: What is
small talk?

那麼，我先來談談。什麼是...
閒聊？

And then I'm going to talk about the good
things to do in order to make good small talk,

然後，我要談談好的。
的事情，才能做好閒聊。

and the don'ts - the things we don't do when
we're making small talk.

和不要 - 我們不做的事情，當
我們在閒聊

Okay, so first of all, what is "small talk"?

So, I've written some question words up here:
"What?", "Who?", "Where/When?", "Why?", and

所以，我在這裡寫了一些疑問詞。
"什麼？"，"誰？"，"在哪裡/什麼時候？"，"為什麼？"，還有... ...

It's conversation we make with people we don't
know that well.

這就是我們和不認識的人的對話。
這一點很清楚。

So, it's conversation we make when we don't
really know people that well.

所以，這是我們在沒有的情況下進行的對話。
真的那麼瞭解人家。

We use small talk not with our family, not
with our friends; we use small talk with strangers

我們用小話不是和家人，不是
與朋友閒聊，與陌生人閒聊。

And for those of you who don't know, "acquaintance"
is somebody you know, but not really well.

對於那些不知道的人來說，"熟人"。
是你認識的人，但不是很好。

So, for example, your neighbour might be an
acquaintance.

所以，舉例來說，你的鄰居可能是一個。
熟人。

Your friend's friend might be an acquaintance.

So, with strangers, with acquaintances, people
you know their name but you don't really know

所以，對陌生人，對熟人，對人
名不見經傳

With your co-workers, with your boss, with
your neighbours, with the clerk at the store

與你的同事、與你的老闆、與
鄰居，與店員在一起

maybe - if you like to go to a cafe, you might
use it with the person who works at the cafe.

也許--如果你喜歡去咖啡館，你可能會。
與在咖啡館工作的人一起使用。

So, small talk is for people you don't know
that well.

所以，閒聊是給不認識的人的
那麼好。

We've already talked of a couple of examples.

Have you ever been on an elevator, and everybody's
look at their phone; nobody's making eye contact?

你有沒有坐過電梯，而每個人的
看自己的手機；沒有人進行眼神交流？

A lot of people will make small talk on elevators.

We use them when we're in line ups; sometimes
we talk to people near us.

我們在排隊的時候就會用到它們；有時候
我們和附近的人交談。

We use them at conferences when we're in business
or academics.

我們做生意的時候，在會議上都會用到這些東西
或學術界。

When you have a classmate, you don't know
them that well, you would probably use small

當你有一個同學，你不知道。
你可能會用小的

And there are many, many other situations
you use small talk.

還有很多很多其他情況
你用閒聊。

那麼，我們為什麼要用小話呢？

Well, number one, we want to be friendly.

When we meet somebody, we don't want to seem
rude, we don't want to seem unfriendly; we

當我們遇到一個人，我們不希望看起來
粗魯，我們不想顯得不友好；我們

want to seem friendly, so we use small talk.

想要顯得友好，所以我們用閒聊。

A lot of students, when they come to other
countries, they want to meet new people.

很多學生，當他們來到其他的
國家，他們想認識新的人。

A good way to do that is by using small talk.

We want to feel comfortable; not uncomfortable.

我們要的是舒服，而不是不舒服。

If, for example, you're in an elevator and
nobody's talking, it makes everybody feel

比如說，如果你在電梯裡，而...
沒人說話，這讓大家覺得

Small talk could make that situation feel
more comfortable.

閒聊可以讓這種情況感覺
更舒適。

We also use small talk to make other people
feel comfortable.

我們還用小話讓別人
感到舒服。

We're trying to make a connection with other
people and make them feel comfortable, too.

我們想和其他的人建立聯繫。
人，讓他們也感到舒服。

So, key point: Small talk we use for people
we don't know that well; we use it for strangers,

所以，關鍵點。閒話我們用在人身上
我們並不瞭解，我們用它來對付陌生人。

We use it for many different types of situations,
and we use it for multiple reasons.

我們將它用於許多不同類型的情況。
而我們使用它有多種原因。

So now I'm going to teach you some great ways
to make small talk.

所以現在我就教你一些好方法
來閒聊。

Okay, so remember small talk is for everybody.

好吧，所以記住，閒聊是每個人都有的。

So, we want to keep the conversation easy,
and things everybody can talk about.

所以，我們要保持對話的輕鬆。
和大家可以談論的事情。

So, what are some things that would make great
small talk?

那麼，有哪些東西可以成為偉大的。
閒聊？

Well, first of all, I want you to imagine
you're at a party and you don't know anyone,

好吧，首先，我想讓你想象一下：
你在一個黨，你不知道任何人。

Here are some great things you could say.

So, to start, you can talk about the place
you're in or the venue.

所以，首先，你可以談談這個地方。
你在或場地。

So, for example, if music is playing, you
can just say to someone: "Oh, I love this

所以，舉例來說，如果正在播放音樂，你就會
可以只是對別人說，"哦，我喜歡這個

song", and that can start a conversation.

Or maybe you can say: "What a great apartment
this is" or "Isn't that such a beautiful painting?

或者你可以說，"這房子真不錯
這是 "或 "這幅畫太美了吧？

So, what you can do is you can start by talking
about the place you're in; whatever is around

所以，你可以做的是，你可以先從談論
你所處的地方，不管是什麼地方。

"You know, this restaurant, it's so busy;
it's packed" is another thing you could say.

"你知道，這家餐廳，它是如此的忙碌。
"人滿為患 "是另一種說法。

So, you can talk about the place you're in.

所以，你可以談談你所處的地方。

Another good thing to talk about, if you want
to start a conversation, if you want to start

另一個好談的事情，如果你想。
開始對話，如果你想開始。

So, for example: "Wow, I love your earrings.

所以，比如說，"哇，我喜歡你的耳環，

Or: "What a beautiful shirt.", "I love your
purse.", "That's such a nice scarf."

或者："好漂亮的襯衫。"、"我喜歡你的。
錢包。"，"這是一個如此漂亮的圍巾。"

So, if you compliment someone, you can ask
them where they bought it from, and that can

所以，如果你讚美一個人，你可以要求
他們從哪裡買來的，而這能

Another good thing you can use for small talk
is you can talk about your connections to

另一個可以用來哈拉的好東西
是你可以談論你的關係到

So, for example, if you're at a party, you
might want to know how the person knows the

所以，舉例來說，如果你是在一個聚會上，你
可能想知道這個人是怎麼知道的

So, you might ask: "So, how do you know the
host?", "How do you know Frank?", "How do

那麼，你可能會問："那麼，你怎麼知道的？
主人？"、"你怎麼認識弗蘭克？"、"你怎麼

you know Amy?", "How do you know my sister?"

你認識艾米嗎？"，"你怎麼認識我妹妹？"

So, it's a really good question to ask if
you're at a party, if you're at any type of

所以，這是一個非常好的問題，如果你問
你在一個黨，如果你在任何類型的。

You can also ask: "Do you know many people
here?"

你也可以問："你認識很多人嗎？
這裡？"
