111. Brian ：(01-8-29) 12:51 how are u doing.(任何时候见到任何人都可以说的一句话)
Nikky ：(01-8-29) 12:51 i am fine, how r u. Brian ：(01-8-29) 12:53 fine too, actually you are the first one who come up with a response online from overseas(很多人不知道该怎样用英语表述"你是我在网上遇见的第一个外国朋友"这一句话。), so what's is your time(你们那里的时间) now, here in China, it's 12:53 am. Nikky ：(01-8-29) 12:54 1:07 am Brian ：(01-8-29) 12:55 so good morning to u and in case(假如) i don't see u,good afternoon, good evening and good night(假如我们以后不能碰上，先祝你每天早上，下午，晚上都好) ,you always stay in the night so late on the net like this? Brain 的建议：如果想在开始赢得别人的好感，一定要自己多说两句恭维对方的话，这样对话就容易进行下去
Nikky ：(01-8-29) 12:57 yes because i am off from work
如何进一步深入话题 Brain 的要点：建议从对方来自何方，从事何种职业入手
Brian ：(01-8-29) 12:58 that's good, where r u and what are u doing up here now? (你一定要学会这句话) Nikky ：(01-8-29) 12:59 I am in the united states and using the my computer.
Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:00 u must work in the government Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:00 I do, but how did u know?(是呀，你怎么知道的) Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:00 well, everything u have told me is technically c
orrect,but it's no use to anyone.(虽然从理论上说你告诉我都是正确的，但一点用也没有) Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:01 u must work in business(你一定是商人)
Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:01 I do, how did u know?
Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:02 well, u don't know where I am, what I am doing here, but u still expect me to help u know that, u are the same before we met 。 Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:02 :>, Alright, we're even (我们扯平了) now, what is your work exactly, if there is any chance for u to be interested telling me that?(学会这句地道的美国话，能显示你的水平)
Brain 的要点：一般人不会在交谈的开始就把自己的职业告诉对方 Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:02 i work in the university, i am teachers aide(助手，
中国的英文怎么写相当于 assistant). Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:02 o, i see, that is a career i have been pursuing for a long time(这也是我理想中的职业，故意奉承:)。再例如：如果你问老外，Where are you from ？不管他回答那个国家，你一定要说"That's a beautiful
country."), and how is that going on with
you.
Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:02 it is going
great.
Brian：(01-8-29) 13:04 i can imagine that, how long have you been working
today?
Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:05 i didn't work today i am off work til sept we get the
summers off.(放假了，只到9 月才开学)
Brian：(01-8-29) 13:06 oh, i am too stupid to forget that, we here in China
have the summer holidays too.
Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:06 that's
right.
Brain 的小结：学会如何询问对方是保持继续交谈的前提，让我们回顾一
下，请记住以下几句经典询问句：
where r u and what are u doing up here now?
what is your work exactly, if there is any chance for u to be interested telling
me that?
how long have you been working today？
下一步怎么办！
(Brain 的建议：如果实在不知道怎么谈，就与对方谈中国，中国在西方人
眼中是有着5000 年文化历史的文明古国，充满神秘彩，但很多外国人对中国
并不了解，你谈中国，他一定会感谢兴趣的。)
继续……
Brian：(01-8-29) 13:08 u live in the school or in your own apartment you
rent?(住在学校里还是租的房子)
Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:08 i live in apt and rent. what do you do? where do you
live?(什么事情都是相互的，你要是能比较好的引起对方的谈话兴趣，她也会反
过来询问你的一些情况的，这不，这个Nikky 开始问我了！)
Brian：(01-8-29) 13:11 i work for one of the largest companies in China, the
marketing dept(我在市场部，简洁明了介绍自己工作地点和职业）
222.Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:11 what part of china do you live?
Brian：(01-8-29) 13:12 shanghai, have you ever heard
of?
Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:12 yes i have, it is busy there yes?
Brian：(01-8-29) 13:13 it's ok, not as busy as you think, a little bit busy in
the downtown.(不象你想的那么繁忙，除了市中心外)
Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:14 i have heard of it i have not been there yet but
maybe some day.
Brian：(01-8-29) 13:16 u should do, how many cities here in China are in
your memory besides shanghai? (试探一下这女子对中国了解多少)if some day you really can be here , you can come to see me , i am just someone who have
graduated from college a year ago(我刚毕业一年)(又是一句客套话，百听不厌，
所以我们要百说不断)
Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:19 peking,chungking,tientsin,hong kong(北京，重庆，I 天津，香港，这个 Nikky 还真知道不少中国城市，拼写有点怪),appreciated your kindness.
and Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:20 well, what is impressive to me is u know a lot of Chinese cities beyond my imagination , you surely know one thing or two (对…非常了解)about China and Chinese
people , right? Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:22 yes i like to learn about other cultures. Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:23 it is immediately apparent that you are the only foreign people I know who knows such a lot of cities in China,swheresdo you live,not the states again!(告诉我确切的地方，不要再说你住在美国了。口语中通常可用"States"直接表示"美国") Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:24 i live in new york city Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:26 i don't have any idea about the big apple city(纽约又称为"大苹果城"). Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:27 it's crowded(拥
挤)
Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:27 traffic jam?
Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:28 no ,people Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:33 here in shanghai, a lot of people and a lot of cars,both, shanghai has become one of the most desirable places for people not only Chinese but kind of increasingly foreign people to live too.(上海已经成为中国人最令人向往的城市之一，对外国人也不例外) Brian 的小结：就象我们中国人平常打招呼一样，和老外打招呼也是非常容易的。
简单回顾，举一反三：
What part of China/America do u live?(最简单的一句话，你一定会用！) How many cities here in China are in your memory besides ……?
Shanghai/Beijing/Shenzhen has become one of the most desirable places for the Chinese people to live
If some day you really can be here , you can come to see me(很好的邀请，尽管你知道她不可能来！）333. Brain 建议：(如果有机会，试着聊一聊各自的衣食住行，这是每个人必须面对的问题，也许在某些方面，大家都有相同经历，也是彼此极能产生共鸣的地方。)
例如：先谈租房问题，打工族都面临的问题。
Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:34 do u live in apt? (有没有人被这个缩写词弄糊涂？一次在上海举办的韩国 2001 年 IT 智能小区展示博览会上我就被 apt 弄糊涂
了，后来才知道是"apartment")
Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:36 u bet(口语习惯用法，表示说的很对，下次遇见老
外，碰到她说的对或者你想表示认可的话，就用"u bet"), but totally a lodger and i got to pay the rent ,
in shanghai, to find somewhere good enough is hardly than ever(太困难了)! Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:36 it is hard here too, rent is so very high(纽约房租也
很贵的，这句话以我们学过的语法来看，肯定会被挑毛病的，"so"和"very"连
用是什么意思？可是没有办法，这可是从地地道道的老外嘴里吐出来的。) Brian (01-8-29) 13:38 the rent here in shanghai used to be very cheap(以前房租很便宜的), but now it's hard to rent a apt with 20squre meter for 800RMB,put in that will be around 100$ Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:40 wow here it is a couple of hundreds sometimes thousands to rent. Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:40 I can still recall my terrible experience when I first try to find a apt for myself, exhausted almost each day after a long time search and went back to the poor little restaurant I stay, for really a long time I just don't want to do anything and look impassivelysintosthe mirror to dream if only I was a local shanghainese(上海人), maybe things will be better. Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:40 cool, it's lucky u've overcome it, u know, this kind of things happened very frequently in united states too. Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:41 so you got to pay the rent too? but on one side , with the apt, you can cook for yourself , right? that will be cheaper than to eating out and will save you a lot of money (在外面吃费钱)and to eat the food u cook alone is wonderful enough. Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:42 yes true but i do like to go out and eat on occasion(偶尔). Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:43 that's understandable for a bad cook(可能是橱艺不
咋的吧). Brian 的小结：外国人对吃一般都比较感兴趣，特别是中国的吃法，要和他们老外在吃的方面有所切磋的话，你不一定要记得很多个菜名。说实话，每
次在大型的外事场合总会遇到陪老外吃饭的情况，很多所谓的翻译预先紧张的
不得不把一个个菜名背的滚瓜烂熟，生怕到时候遇到翻不出来的东西却不一定
派的上用场。我不这样做，因为很多宾馆的菜名除非把厨子喊来，否则根本不
知道是用什么做的。我就曾经遇到过"白鹤晾翅"实际上就是"豆腐加酸白菜"，
所以我只需要简单对他们说"enjoy your dinner, u know, I am asked by my superior to give u what hell those courses(这些菜) are made of, I know u have experienced many occasions and been tired of telling those names, so just enjoy it,and if u think it's tasting, please let me know!"这句话一说，老外一定会觉得你不一样。很多老外吃的场合见的很多，已经厌烦了半瓶子水的翻译在一旁词不达意介绍菜名，所以你还是让他先吃吧。444.Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:44 u kidding me, i love to cook want to learn how to cook proper Chinese food(我想知道中国菜怎么烧的) Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:46 you get it! Chinese food is really tasting probably kind of the best food in the world, U know, there is an increasing number of Yankees(美国人) who came all the way to China just want to find a woman to
marry with, for the good cuisine tradition, i just can not imagine how to live a lifetime with hamburger(我不敢想象你们美国人怎么能就着汉堡包吃一辈子). Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:49 ah yes do u eat hamburger?
Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:50 every once in a while(不常吃)。KFC or Mc donald ,which one is more popular in the states? (在美国，肯德基和麦当劳那个更受欢迎？这个问题可以随便拿个老外来练习) Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:52 mc donalds Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:52 why, just cuz(因为) Americans like beef than chicken?personally i like KFC, it's more tasting(可口，好味道) and some sort of Chinese people's style(符合中国人的饮食习惯), seems like we Chinese prefer the chickens . Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:54 i don't know i don't like either too much myself(我两个都不爱吃，外国人好象都不喜欢吃这种高热量的 junk food) Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:55 then what u like, u do not like hamburgers ,how about the rice ,do u eat rice in your daily life? we, the regular Chinese's main food(那你们吃米么) Nikky ：(01-8-29) 13:58 i LOVE rice Brian ：(01-8-29) 13:59 i am a good cook and my cuisine capability(烹调手
艺) is really good Nikky ：(01-8-29) 14:00 what do u cook well? tell me a dish Brian ：(01-8-29) 14:01 a bunch of things:Chinese Tofu(豆腐), vinegar fish(糖醋鱼), and some short ribs(小排)(这些常见的中国菜英文说法最好记住)。 Nikky ：(01-8-29) 14:03 how do u make vinegar fish Brian ：
01-8-29 14:05 it's really sophisticated to tell you that on the net, we get the different fishes and different seasonings(调料), so even tell you exact the way i make , maybe you will bring up with a different one(鱼和调料都不同，即使告诉你了，你也做不出我这味来。实际上我做的 vinegar fish 最难吃) Nikky ：(01-8-29) 14:07 it sounds good though(听起来就已经不错了) Brian ：(01-8-29) 14:09 Yup (表示肯定，相当于 Yes)
Nikky ：(01-8-29) 14:10 i would love to visit your country one day so much to learn Brian ：(01-8-29) 14:11 u mean it ？(你说真的么)
Nikky ：(01-8-29) 14:11 yeah, and what do u do in your occasional time? (平时都干些啥)(经典询问句，这句话我们也可用随时拿来问对方) Brian ：(01-8-29) 14:11 well, I like movies so much and bought the movie DVDs and I really loved them and I kept them in my bedroom, and when I get really, really depressed, and I couldn't find anybody to talk to, I took the movies out and watch …..(我喜欢看电影，非常喜欢，当我难过郁闷，不到别人和我说话时，我就看 DVD 。寂寞经典自白，向每一个可能见到的老外说出这几句话，一定要连贯！) Brian 的小结： 上面的一段寂寞独白实际上是我从另一外国朋友那抄袭来的，我几乎是一个字不差的把它说给 Nikky 听，因为我有那位外国朋友很喜欢看电影，幸好我也有相同的兴趣。但之所以这段话给我留下很深的原因并不是
这个，原因是她说这段话给我听的时候，露出的牙齿很漂亮，给我的印象非常
