今天我们要来说的主题是怎么和新认识的外国朋友聊天~

Today we're going to talk about how to chat to a foreign friend.

首先来说说在英国认识新朋友往往在哪些情况下呢？

1. We can meet new friends in many places. Like at a friend’s house party, at a pub at your work place etc.

一般在英国我们会在派对，酒吧认识新朋友，工作学习等情况下认识新朋友

除了先介绍自己的名字之外。我们一般还需要说些什么暖和气氛，让彼此更快熟悉和放松呢？

2. We often make small talk first. For example what the weather's like, or news stories.

For example you could say, "Wow！It's been a particularly hot summer this year hasn't it?" or "it just never stops raining does it, haha!"

你可以从一些小话题开始，比如谈论天气或者新闻，你可以说：Wow it's been a particularly hot summer this year hasn't it?

"哇！今年的夏天真是热啊，是吧？"你还可以说"it just never stops raining does it, haha!" 这雨咋老下个不停啊你说？

3. If you are a young lady talking to a new female friend, you might like to try using one often following topics:

Your favorite male star, compliment her clothes, ask what brand they are, tell her she has nice perfume, ask what sports/activities she likes to do.

如是你是女性对年轻的女士我们可以谈论：你最喜欢的男星是谁？你的衣服真漂亮，什么牌子？哪儿买的？身上的香水真好闻，是什么？平时你喜欢做什么运动和活动吗？

4. For example. You could begin "Hey I love your dress, what brand is it?" or you could try："What perfume are you wearing, it smells divine."

你可以说：嘿，你的裙子太漂亮了，什么牌子的？"Hey I love your dress, what brand is it?"

或者你还可以说："What perfume are you wearing？ it smells divine."

你用什么香水？真的很好闻

5. 然后你还可以谈谈你看过的电影，说说你的电影男神

Then after that maybe you could talk about a movie you've seen, and the hot male actor in it!

你可以说：Hey did you watch the new 3d Titanic？ I love Leonardo Di Caprio, his eyes are just dreamy!

嘿！你看了3D的泰坦尼克号了吗？我爱死Leonardo了，他的眼神太醉人！

6. For a man talking to a new male friend he could try talking about the latest sports results, like football or basketball etc. Or ask what kind of music he listens to, what types of movies he likes.

如果你是男性和男性朋友交谈你可以聊聊最近的体育比赛，比如足球或者篮球等等，或者问问他喜欢的音乐类型和电影

你可以这样搭讪：

Hi there, how's it going?嘿，你好吗？

Alright, you? 我很好，你呢？

Hey did you see the game at the weekend. Manchester United totally ruled" "You're not kidding, it was 5-1!

嘿，看了周末的比赛了吗？曼联势不可挡啊！

You're not kidding, it was 5-1!是啊！绝对的！5比1啊！

7. 在这里还要友情提醒我们的小伙伴们，有哪些话题是一般情况下西方人不愿谈起的，或者不是合适的话题呢？

It's best to avoid talking about politics or religion until you know someone well. Also wouldn't usually discuss money, eg salary at work.

关于政治、宗教这类的问题最好不要谈起，特别是在刚认识的情况下，当然，关于钱财比如工资等个人隐私问题也最好不要聊起。不然会让别人觉得很不舒服哦，刚刚认识最好说些笑话和轻松的话题.
