10句實(shí)用英語(yǔ)開場(chǎng)白
Whether you want to start a conversation with a new guy or girl you find attractive or you want to get a training session off to a great start, a good ice breaker can help you make a memorable first impression. It can turn that first encounter with someone new into something wonderful that blossoms into lasting friendships and valuable partnerships.
不論你是想和心儀的男生或女生展開對(duì)話，還是想讓一次培訓(xùn)課有好的開始，一句好的開場(chǎng)白有助于你給他人留下難忘的第一印象。它會(huì)讓你和某人的初次見面變得非常美好，讓你們之間發(fā)展出長(zhǎng)久的友誼和有價(jià)值的合作關(guān)系。
A bad ice breaker, however, can be a recipe for disaster. It can spiral out of control pretty quickly and at best be a terrible waste of time or worse an embarrassment for everyone involved. So, how do you start a meaningful conversation with someone new and avoid embarrassments or awkward moments of silence? Where do you begin?
然而一句糟糕的開場(chǎng)白則可能引發(fā)災(zāi)難。它會(huì)讓場(chǎng)面很快失控，至少也浪費(fèi)了時(shí)間，搞不好還會(huì)讓每個(gè)人都尷尬。那么你該如何和初次見面的人開始一場(chǎng)有意義的交談，而且避免尷尬和冷場(chǎng)呢？你該怎么進(jìn)行開場(chǎng)？
Understand that it is normal to feel a bit nervous when approaching someone new. Everyone gets a little shy at first; after all, you don’t know what this other person is like. The person could be a grumpy, mean guy, but the only way to know for sure what the person is like is to get over being shy and approach them. That person might turn out to be the nicest, kindest person you ever meet.
你要明白，和一個(gè)陌生人接近時(shí)感到有點(diǎn)緊張是很正常的。最開始每個(gè)人都會(huì)有些害羞，畢竟你不清楚對(duì)方是怎樣的人。那個(gè)人也許是個(gè)壞脾氣的討厭鬼，但唯一確定這個(gè)人個(gè)性的辦法就是克服害羞，去接近他。也許這個(gè)人會(huì)成為你所遇到的最親切最善良的人。

Listen attentively to the other person’s responses because this can make or break your follow-up questions. To help you out with ideas for starting a conversation, here are ten of the most effective ice breakers you can use in different scenarios to get a conversation off and running.
一開始你應(yīng)該想好各種可能的開場(chǎng)白以便開始這場(chǎng)對(duì)話，并且準(zhǔn)備后續(xù)的問題讓對(duì)話持續(xù)下去。仔細(xì)傾聽對(duì)方的回應(yīng)，因?yàn)檫@會(huì)影響到你后續(xù)問題的成敗。為了幫助你開始一場(chǎng)對(duì)話，下面是10句最有用的開場(chǎng)白，你可以用于不同場(chǎng)合，讓對(duì)話開始并進(jìn)行下去。
1. “How are you doing today, miss?”
“小姐，今天過得怎么樣？”
A genuine hello accompanied by a heartwarming, three second smile is one of the most basic, highly effective ice breakers there is. Often, we brush simple things aside as being too simple not realizing the simplest things can have the biggest impact in life.
一句真誠(chéng)的問候搭配上一個(gè)溫暖的三秒鐘微笑是最基本也最有用的開場(chǎng)白。我們總是忽略一些簡(jiǎn)單的東西，并沒有發(fā)覺那些最簡(jiǎn)單的東西可以在生活中發(fā)揮最大的效果。
Think about the people who say “good morning” or “howdy” to their neighbors. This simple greeting is usually followed up with “how are you” or “how are the kids?” Before long, the two parties are talking about their families and even favorite sports teams.
想想那些對(duì)鄰居說“早上好”或者“你好”的人。這種簡(jiǎn)單的問候通常會(huì)得到“你好嗎”或者“孩子們好嗎”作為回應(yīng)。很快，雙方就開始談?wù)撍麄兊募彝ド踔磷钕矚g的球隊(duì)了。
2. “Nice earrings!”
“你的耳環(huán)真漂亮！”
This comment represents a classic technique that is quite effective for starting a conversation. Regardless of whom you are talking to, saying something genuinely nice about their outfit, accessories or even mood will usually be received well.
這句評(píng)價(jià)代表了開場(chǎng)白中十分有用的一種經(jīng)典技巧。不論你在和誰聊天，真誠(chéng)地贊美一下他們的著裝、配飾、甚至是心情，對(duì)方通常會(huì)很樂意接受。
The person receiving the compliment will thank you and possibly say something nice about you in return. In doing this, a dialogue begins. Keep the dialogue going by asking a question like “Where did you buy the earrings? I really like them.”
接受你贊美的人會(huì)向你表示感謝，可能還會(huì)對(duì)你說一些贊美的話作為回報(bào)。這樣一來，一場(chǎng)對(duì)話就開始了。想要繼續(xù)對(duì)話，可以問這樣的問題，比如“你的耳環(huán)在哪里買的？我非常喜歡�！�
3. “Does this shop always have such long queues?”
“這家商店門口總是要排這么長(zhǎng)的隊(duì)嗎？”
Simply commenting on an unpleasant or uncomfortable situation that you both experience in your immediate surroundings is another effective strategy for starting a conversation. You can comment about a long bathroom line or wobbly waiting-room chair.
在周邊環(huán)境中，對(duì)你們雙方共同經(jīng)歷過的某種令人不愉快或者不舒服的情況進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)單的評(píng)價(jià)，也是一種有用的開場(chǎng)白策略。你可以抱怨衛(wèi)生間門口的長(zhǎng)隊(duì)或者等候室里搖晃的椅子。
By focusing on an unpleasant situation that you both find yourselves in and subtly complaining about it, you cleverly suck the other person into an unwitting pact that unites both of you against a common enemy.
關(guān)注某個(gè)你們共同身處的不愉快的場(chǎng)景并且不經(jīng)意地抱怨，你就巧妙地把對(duì)方和自己拉到了一條陣線上，對(duì)抗一個(gè)共同的敵人。
4. “Chicago really is the windy city!”
“芝加哥確實(shí)是風(fēng)之城��！”
Yes. Talk about the weather. It may sound clichéd, but it works wonders in real life. People talk about the weather all the time—It’s a topic everyone has an opinion on. Think of how you have an opinion about what dress or fashion choice is right for different weather.
沒錯(cuò)，談?wù)撎鞖�。聽上去也許有點(diǎn)老套，但在現(xiàn)實(shí)中確實(shí)管用。人們總是在談?wù)撎鞖狻@是一個(gè)人人都可以發(fā)表觀點(diǎn)的話題。你可以想想對(duì)于不同天氣該如何穿衣搭配的觀點(diǎn)。
Once the person responds, you can ease into the conversation with “small talk” like, “The wind is so strong; it nearly blew me over!”
一旦對(duì)方做出回應(yīng)，你就可以很容易把談話繼續(xù)下去，比如“風(fēng)太大了，就快把我吹跑了！”
5. “Oh, did you hear about…”
“你聽沒聽說……”
Kick-start a conversation with a description of an interesting, entertaining and/or funny story. Get right in to your story description and then allow the other person to make a remark or share an opinion of the story.
描述一個(gè)有趣的、娛樂性的或者搞笑的故事作為開場(chǎng)白。講完故事之后讓對(duì)方就這個(gè)故事發(fā)表評(píng)論或者分享觀點(diǎn)。
If your story is interesting enough, there really is no telling where it could take the ensuing dialogue and for how long you could stretch the conversation once your new friend gets on board.
如果你的故事足夠有趣，就沒必要擔(dān)心你們的對(duì)話該如何繼續(xù)或者繼續(xù)多久了，只要你的新朋友被你的.故事吸引就行。
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.
人們喜歡吃吃喝喝。如果你想要聊天的那個(gè)人在喝一杯不錯(cuò)的飲料或者在吃一個(gè)看上去美味的漢堡，可以評(píng)價(jià)一下這個(gè)漢堡有多好吃（或者多難吃）�；蛘吣阋部梢詥査鹊氖鞘裁�。
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，可以繼續(xù)問“你真的喜歡嗎？”或者“我能再請(qǐng)你喝一杯嗎？”自我介紹一下，別忘了展現(xiàn)你最迷人的微笑。
7. “That’s a lovely name; are you named after someone?”
“這個(gè)名字真好聽， 是以某個(gè)人命名的嗎？”
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?”
這句開場(chǎng)白尤其適用于工作場(chǎng)所、商務(wù)會(huì)議之類人們帶著姓名胸牌的場(chǎng)合。如果她的名字很有意思，走上去對(duì)她說“卡米爾，可愛的名字，它的來歷是什么呢？”
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.
她也許會(huì)很激動(dòng)地告訴你她的法語(yǔ)名字，還不用等你知道，一場(chǎng)對(duì)話已經(jīng)展開了。可是如果她的名字很平常很普通，你也許問不出什么有趣的問題。
8. “Hello, do you work here?”
“你好，你在這里工作嗎？”
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.
這句同樣適用于人們佩戴姓名胸牌的工作場(chǎng)所或商務(wù)場(chǎng)合。即使你知道答案，也要問問他是否在這里工作。如果你認(rèn)識(shí)某個(gè)人和他在同一家公司或者零售店工作，可以提起他們的名字。
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?
接下來可以問一些相關(guān)的問題，比如“你在這里做什么工作？”“你在這里工作很久了嗎？”“你喜歡這里嗎？”“你最喜歡/最不喜歡這份工作哪一點(diǎn)？”
9. “People call me David, but you can call me TONIGHT.”
“人們叫我大衛(wèi)，不過你今晚可以給我打電話。”
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.
確實(shí)，講笑話說起來容易做起來難。講笑話并不容易，但是和某人初次見面時(shí)，笑話是最好的開場(chǎng)白。它可以讓對(duì)方看到你性格當(dāng)中幽默、有趣、可愛的一面。
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?
雖然如此，除非你對(duì)自己講笑話的技巧非常自信，否則最好還是不要講，尤其是自我貶低型的笑話。你不太能冒犯自己吧，對(duì)嗎？
10. “Excuse me, I just thought I should come over and talk to you.”
“打擾一下，我覺得我應(yīng)該過來跟你聊聊。”
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.
有時(shí)候最好也最有趣的開場(chǎng)白就是大實(shí)話。走到她面前，坦白說。告訴她你想和她聊天。告訴她這種情形對(duì)你們來說尷尬又滑稽，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?
誠(chéng)實(shí)確實(shí)是最佳法則。無論如何，誰不喜歡讓人振奮的誠(chéng)實(shí)出擊呢？
There you have it: ten of the most effective ice breakers you can use to initiate a meaningful conversation with someone new.
