初次見面的話題必須具有建設性,一些話題禁地有必要知道。
避免聊個人的財政(比如薪資)、政治、宗教、死亡、年齡及外表問題,避免開一些冒犯的玩笑、狹小的主題、過去戀情、殺人王及疾病,這些主題有可能冒犯他人或被人認為是負面的人。閒聊的主要目的是想要打開話題,如果你不注意這些禁忌將使對話停止。
Tom與Jerry正在美術館
Tom: This place is beautiful and full of so many artifacts; we should go and talk to the owner.(Tom: 這個地方很不錯,陳列很多手工藝品,我們去跟主人聊聊。)
Jerry: I have heard that he is very welcoming.(Jerry: 我聽說他很熱情。)
Prince: Welcome to my humble home, my name is Prince.(Prince: 歡迎來到這裡,我叫Prince。)
Jerry: Nice to meet you, my name is Jerry and my friend is Tom. This is a beautiful place. What inspired it?(Jerry: 很高興認識你,我叫Jerry,我的朋友叫Tom。這個地方很不錯,你的靈感是從哪裡來?)
Owner: Well my mother died and I had to make money for myself, my wife left me and I had to find relief, I was fat, much like you are and my previous boss was terrible…. Gosh those were the days.. (主人: 之前我的母親去世,我必須要自己賺錢謀生,妻子的離開,為了走出那些痛苦,過去我很胖,就跟你一樣,我之前的老闆對我很差...)
Tom: (向Prince說) It was nice to meet you. Jerry, let’s chat with other people…(很高興認識你,Jerry,我們去認識其他人。)
Jerry: Tom,我很胖嗎?
