和初次见面的人聊天很尴尬?10句最实用的开场白

2013-06-06来源:lifehack
6. “What kind of drink is that?
“你喝的是什么?”

People love eating and drinking. If the person you want to start a conversation with has a nice-looking drink or a delicious-looking burger, comment on how delicious (or not delicious) the burger is. Alternatively asks her what kind of drink she’s having.
人们喜欢吃吃喝喝。如果你想要聊天的那个人在喝一杯不错的饮料或者在吃一个看上去美味的汉堡,可以评价一下这个汉堡有多好吃(或者多难吃)。或者你也可以问她喝的是什么。

When she replies, follow up with something like “Do you really like it?” or ” Can I buy you another?” Introduce yourself and don’t forget to flash your best charming smile.
如果她回答你了,可以继续问“你真的喜欢吗?”或者“我能再请你喝一杯吗?”自我介绍一下,别忘了展现你最迷人的微笑。

7. “That’s a lovely name; are you named after someone?”
“这个名字真好听, 是以某个人命名的吗?”

This works especially well in a workplace setting, business meeting or conference where people are wearing name tags. If she has an interesting name, walk up to her and say something like “Camille, lovely name. What’s the origin of the name?”
这句开场白尤其适用于工作场所、商务会议之类人们带着姓名胸牌的场合。如果她的名字很有意思,走上去对她说“卡米尔,可爱的名字,它的来历是什么呢?”

She’ll probably be excited to tell you about her French name and before you know it, a conversation has ensued. If her name is ordinary or common, however, you might not find too many interesting questions to ask.
她也许会很激动地告诉你她的法语名字,还不用等你知道,一场对话已经展开了。可是如果她的名字很平常很普通,你也许问不出什么有趣的问题。

8. “Hello, do you work here?”
“你好,你在这里工作吗?”

This also works well at a workplace or business setting where people are wearing name tags. Even if you know the answer, ask whether he works there anyway. If you know some people who work at his company or retail store, mention them to him.
这句同样适用于人们佩戴姓名胸牌的工作场所或商务场合。即使你知道答案,也要问问他是否在这里工作。如果你认识某个人和他在同一家公司或者零售店工作,可以提起他们的名字。

Follow up with related questions like “What do you do here?” “Have you been working here a long time?” “Do you like it here?” “What’s your favorite/worst part of your job?
接下来可以问一些相关的问题,比如“你在这里做什么工作?”“你在这里工作很久了吗?”“你喜欢这里吗?”“你最喜欢/最不喜欢这份工作哪一点?”

9. “People call me David, but you can call me TONIGHT.”
“人们叫我大卫,不过你今晚可以给我打电话。”

Okay, telling a joke is easier said than done. Jokes can be tricky, but they’re some of the best conversations starters you can throw at someone new. They help the other person see a witty, fun and likeable side of your personality.
确实,讲笑话说起来容易做起来难。讲笑话并不容易,但是和某人初次见面时,笑话是最好的开场白。它可以让对方看到你性格当中幽默、有趣、可爱的一面。

That said, unless you’re really confident about your joke-telling skills, it’s probably a good idea to avoid them or start with a self-deprecating joke. You can’t possibly offend yourself, can you?
虽然如此,除非你对自己讲笑话的技巧非常自信,否则最好还是不要讲,尤其是自我贬低型的笑话。你不太能冒犯自己吧,对吗?

10. “Excuse me, I just thought I should come over and talk to you.”
“打扰一下,我觉得我应该过来跟你聊聊。”

Sometimes the best and most fun ice breaker is honesty. Walk up to her and just be honest. Tell her you want to talk to her. Point out how awkward and funny the situation actually is for both of you and that you are trying to make the best of it.
有时候最好也最有趣的开场白就是大实话。走到她面前,坦白说。告诉她你想和她聊天。告诉她这种情形对你们来说尴尬又滑稽,所以你要好好利用。

Honesty really can be the best policy. Who doesn’t love a refreshing bout of honesty, any way?
诚实确实是最佳法则。无论如何,谁不喜欢让人振奋的诚实出击呢?

There you have it: ten of the most effective ice breakers you can use to initiate a meaningful conversation with someone new.
现在你知道了10句最有用的开场白。你可以用来和初次见面的人开始一场有意义的对话了。
