How To Keep A Conversation Going In English
英语中如何维持对谈
It is often difficult to keep a conversation going in any language. During most of our daily interactions with people, we engage in small talk. Small talk is a short, polite conversation about casual topics such as how your family is, the weather, or current sports news. As language learners, these are the first type of conversations we learn because the questions are easy to form, and we can learn a little about another person.
对于任何语言来说要维持对谈并不容易。在我们平时和别人的接触中,我们会寒暄。寒暄时间很短,礼貌的对谈会聊一些家庭情况、天气,或者体育新闻。作为学语言的,这些是我们应该学习的第一种对谈话题,因为对我们来说谈话问题很容易组织,也可以从对话中了解对方。
A great way to begin a longer conversation is to ask questions about the person you are talking to. Everybody likes talking about their own experiences, opinions, and thoughts, so asking questions can allow a longer conversation. Maintaining a conversation in a new language is not easy, but with these tools you can gain confidence in knowing how to express yourself thoroughly.
要想开启一次比较长的对谈,是对对方进行提问。每个人都喜欢聊自己的经历、看法和观点,所以提一些这方面的问题就可以把对话拉长。要用外语保持对谈不容易,但是使用这些技巧你就能获得自信,也可以充分表现自己。
Start a longer conversation
开启一次长对话
The best way to show that you want to start a longer conversation is to ask open-ended questions. Open-ended questions have to be answered with more than one word and allow the other person to talk longer.
开启长对话的方式是提一些开放式问题,这些问题要回答不是一两个字就能结束的,这样对方就能聊得久一些。
What do you think about ____?
你觉得……怎么样?
Have you heard about ____? (If they answer “Yes”:) What do you think?
你有没有听说过……?(如果他们回答是的话)你觉得呢?
What do you like about ___?
你为什么喜欢……?
How have you liked living in ___?
你觉得住在这里怎么样?
Example:
例子:
Jane: “What are you doing this weekend?”
Max: “I don’t know yet. You?”
Jane: “I’m going to the museum. Have you heard about the new photography exhibit?”
Max: “Yes I have.”
Jane: “What do you think about photography?”
Max: “I think it can be a beautiful form of art, especially in blank and white. I like to practice photography myself in my spare time.”
Jane: 你这周末做什么?
Max:还不知道呢?你呢?
Jane: 我去博物馆,有没有听说过新的摄影展?
Max:对啊我听说了
Jane:你觉得摄影怎么样?
Max:我觉得是一种很精美的艺术形式。尤其黑白照片。我喜欢在业余的时间拍照。
Follow-up Questions and Comments:
随后的问题和评论:
