【跟外教学地道英语】办公室闲聊

ing-bottom: 75%;">在办公室与老外闲聊的口语

这里会向大家介绍美国人民在职场上或者和朋友间是如何问候交谈的。想要以适当的方式发起谈话并不容易哦,这个节目会给大家一些建议,告诉我们究竟应该说什么、怎么说。

需要说明的是,英式英语和美式英语间还是有着很大差别,所以说这里介绍的问候语和短语英国人都能理解,但他们在生活中所使用的可能会非常不同!

当我们遇到办公室里的同事,就可以这样问:

Good morning! How are you today?

早上好!你今天好吗?

How are you this morning/afternoon/evening? (Being more specific may get a more specific answer)

你今天上午/下午/晚上好吗?(问得更具体所得到的答案也可能更具体)

而如果是其他人问你,那么我们可以这样来回答:

I'm great actually—thanks for asking!

我很好,谢谢关心!

I'm alright—a bit tired.

我还好,就是有点累。

Really good, thanks. I'm getting excited for the weekend. (Then explain why you're excited)

非常好,谢谢。我正为周末感到兴奋呢。(然后可以解释自己为何兴奋)

Can't complain!

好得没话说!

回答完后还可以问上一句:

How about yourself?

你如何呢?【补充材料】

Western Office Conversation

西方办公室对话

Westerners use a lot of 'small talk' in the office. 'Small talk' means that conversations are short, easy and impersonal. Some westerners love small talk and are very good at it, while others do not like it and avoid it. However, it is always polite and friendly, and you will never be regarded poorly for trying to make small talk.

西方人在办公室中有很多“闲聊”(small talk)。'small talk' 的意思是说这些交谈都很短、很简单,不是什么私人话题。有的西方人很喜欢闲聊,也对这个很在行。而也有人不喜欢,不怎么闲聊的。无论如何,闲聊总是礼貌而友好的。如果你试着开始闲聊,人们绝不会觉得你烦。

Every office is different, but people usually do not feel comfortable discussing religion, salaries, family relations (like parents, cousins or mothers-in-law) and occupational goals (like where your colleague may want to work next) in the office.

每个办公室都不同,但人们一般不会喜欢在办公室聊宗教、薪水、家庭关系(像是父母、表兄妹、岳母一类)以及职业目标(比如你的同事以后想在哪儿工作)

Westerners may feel uncomfortable if you answer this question negatively. Unless you are very familiar with a colleague (usually talk about personal lives, spend time together outside of the office), it is best to stay positive in your small talk.

如果你用否定的方式回答这些问题,西方人可能会觉得比较奇怪。除非你真的跟一个同事很熟(经常聊私人生活,或是下班也一起玩)。最好还是用肯定的答案回答这些“small talk”吧。
