日常英文
在日常生活中,使用英文與人交流是一個非常重要的技能。無論是在工作場合、學校還是社交場合,能夠流利地使用英文與他人交流,可以讓你更自信、更有影響力。
然而,有些人可能會因為擔心自己的英文水平不夠好而感到害怕或不自在。這時候,打開話匣子並開始與他人使用英文交流是非常重要的。
在這篇文章中,我們將提供一些日常英文句子,幫助你更自信地與他人交流,並在日常生活中更好地運用英文。
日常英文 展開話題

相信大家平時必定會有很多需要社交及認識新人的場合,結識不同的人往往對我們未來有很大的幫助,但基於文化不同,你可能不太懂怎麼與外國人交流及展開話題。特別是當你在外資公司任職,大學去外流,留學,甚至打算去等移民等,日常生活中難免要與外國人交流傾計。所以今天我就會分享一些可以用來破冰,展開話題又不會讓對方難接話的 日常英語交流句式 希望幫助大家更容易與外國人交流。
句式1. Oh, have you heard of xxx?
這個是個十分好用,適合用作打開話題。在職場上,你可以說” Oh, have you heard of the trade war?” 這樣可以容易開啟話題,大家亦可以交流不同的看法。另外,就算朋友之間亦很可以說 “Oh, have you heard of the new project launched next month?”,然後再延伸話題。
句式2. How did you get into xxx?
例: How did you get into the xx industry/field?
這句尤其適用於在職場上認識新朋友,你就可以問他們為什麼最初會選擇這個行業,等等。例如 “How did you get into the banking industry? Which banker inspires you the most?”
句式3. Hey, what’s up?
What’s up是可以用來打開話題的最好方法,簡單打個招呼後就可以自然地延伸到其他話題。比如說 “What’s up John, how are you doing today?” “Are you ready for the party tonight?” 但注意不要對陌生人使用,不然對方可能覺得你在扮熟。
句式4. What’s your story?
當你剛認識一個新朋友,你可能會跟他分享自己的事,當你分享完後你就可以加句 “speaking of that, what’s your story?” 這樣對方也分享自己的事。特別是你察覺朋友心情不太好,有點失落時,也可以用這一句。
句式5. Wow, this looks awesome. Where did you get it?
每個人都喜歡聽讚美的說話,尤其是第一次認識是讚美對方會讓人留下好的第一印象。當首次遇見時,你不妨稱讚一下對方的襯衫,鞋子等,然後問他們從哪裡買,這樣又能使好感度大添。例如 “Oh I like you bag – where did you get it?”
以上的 日常英語交流句式 其實都是百搭又好用,希望可以幫助大家自然又不尷尬地開啟話題!當然也在乎你公司的文化及實際情況而所不同,大家用的時候記得要小心! 但老套一句,Practice makes perfect!
日常英文 打開話匣子
在日常生活中當您想與某人聊天但雙方都不想進入真正深入或複雜的話題時,您會進行閒聊(small talks)
這些句子很“small”,因為你們倆都聊一些無關緊要的話題來填補沉默,但能讓彼此感覺更自在和善於交際
自我介紹
在嘗試了解某人之前向他們介紹自己。
如果他們可能忘記了你是誰,你可以向陌生人介紹或提醒你以前見過的人。
可以在介紹自己時包含少量信息,例如您第一次見面的地點或您的工作。
即使是作為開場白,你也可以運用你的英語學習技能。
Good morning! Even though we always have coffee at the same time, we have never spoken. My name is [Your Name].
早上好! 儘管我們總是同時喝咖啡,但我們從未說過話。 我的名字是[你的名字]。
Hello, how are you today? My name is [Your Name]. I’m still learning English so please let me know if I make any mistakes.
你好,你今天好嗎? 我的名字是[你的名字]。 我還在學習英語,所以如果我犯了任何錯誤,請告訴我。
Hello Angela, We met last year at Tom’s Christmas party; you might not remember me. I’m [Your Name].
你好Angela,我們去年在湯姆的聖誕派對上認識的; 你可能不記得我了。 我是[你的名字]。
天氣
談天氣看似很無聊,卻是一個很好的開場白。
因為無論天氣如何,天晴、陰天、太熱或太冷,相信對方都會有所共鳴。
在評論天氣之後可以再進一步開啟其他話題!
This weather is crazy! It was cold yesterday and today I came in with an open jacket. I hope it stays warm, don’t you?
這天氣瘋了! 昨天很冷,今天我穿著一件敞開的夾克進來。 我希望它保持溫暖,不是嗎?
Beautiful day, isn’t it?
真是美好的一天,不是嗎?
It looks like it’s going to rain.
看來要下雨了。
日常
如果你不確定要談論什麼話題,或者沒有什麼有趣的話題要說,你可以問問別人他們的一天,或者你可以談談你的。
How was your day? / How has your day been so far?
你今天過得怎麼樣?
Did you catch the news today?
你今天看新聞了嗎?
What have you been doing today?
你今天做了什麼?
工作
有些話題只能在工作場所討論。
避免八卦(談論不在場的人),並且在工作中比你在其他情況下更不那麼個人化! 相反,可以提出這一天即將舉行的活動或會議,或詢問他們的工作範圍。
How did you become a [job title]?
你是怎麼成為[職稱]的?
What was your first job? Did you like it?
你的第一份工作是什麼? 你喜歡它嗎?
What a busy day. This is the first time I’ve gotten up from my seat all day! Are you busy too?
多麼忙碌的一天。 這是我一整天第一次從座位上站起來! 你也忙嗎?
興趣
閒時的興趣會是個好話題。
不但可以幫助你們互相了解,更有可能發掘到一些共同的興趣及嗜好,成為志同道合的朋友!
Do you currently read any good books? I would appreciate some suggestions. What about shows?
你現在有讀什麼好書嗎? 我會很感激你給我一些建議。 節目呢?
What’s the last movie that made you cry? Or laugh aloud?
上一部讓你哭的電影是什麼? 還是放聲大笑的?
Do you have any podcast suggestions?
你有任何播客建議嗎?
觀察四周
一些最好的閒聊是關於你和談話夥伴的所在。
這是你們倆共享的東西,所以不用擔心他們不會知道你在說什麼。
環顧四周,找一些可以評論的東西,或者看看你的伴侶,找一些好的東西來讚美他們。
沒有什麼比真誠的讚美更能讓人感覺良好的了!
I adore your shoes today, they perfectly complete your look.
我今天很喜歡你的鞋子,它們完美地完成了你的造型。
Have you seen? The break room’s air conditioning was finally fixed. It hasn’t worked properly in about a month!
你見過嗎? 休息室的空調終於修好了。 它已經一個多月都沒有正常運作了!
Hey Penny, your cupcakes last night were delicious! Thank you for making them for the party
嘿,佩妮,你昨晚的紙杯蛋糕真好吃! 謝謝你為聚會做的。
旅行
相信沒有人會不喜歡旅行。
說說對旅行的憧憬或者過往的旅行經驗都會是很好的話題。
Where would you travel if you could fly anywhere at no cost?
如果你可以免費飛到任何地方,你會去哪裡?
Where’s the last place you traveled? What did you do there?
你最後一次旅行的地方是哪裡? 你在那裡做什麼?
What was the coolest trip you’ve ever taken?
你去過的最酷的旅行是什麼?
