如何用英语搭讪外国人?
我喜欢慢慢地旅行, 旅行于我, 不仅仅是看到绝美的风光, 也是碰到有趣的人.
2个月前, 在阳朔的时候, 我写了一篇 你为什么背英语却不去跟老外聊天呢?
其实只要你迈出了第一步, 后边的比你想象的要容易的多~
看到旁边的旁边的桌子坐一个姑娘, 看样子是一个人, 于是我走过去搭讪, 对白大概是这样:
Hi, do you mind taking a picture for me?
Wind
Selma
Yeah, sure.
(After taking the picture) You want me to take one for you? It's a beatiful beach.
Wind
Selma
Why not?
(After the pictures) You're alone?
Wind
Selma
Yeah, I'm a tourist.
Oh, I'm a tourist, too. Where are you from?
Wind
Selma
France.
Wow, I was gonna say just that! You look very romantic, very French.
Wind
Selma
(laugh) That's a myth, French people being romantic.
Really? Now you gotta tell me more about that! May I join you?
Wind
Selma
Oh, sure.
她能听懂许多中文, 也会讲不少呢.
她说法国人并不浪漫, 那都是美国电影宣传的而已.
她还说北京的出租车司机的京腔她总是听不懂, 很是郁闷.
我点了一份三明治, 分量很足, 于是我大声地对着他说:
Hello. Hi. (After he turned to me) Hi, man. I ordered a sandwich. It's a lot. You wanna share?
Wind
Ryan
haha. I'm good, thanks.
You sure? Come on, have one. It's really too much for me. I wanna eat less and lose some weight.
Wind
Ryan
haha. Well, if you insisit.(He came to my table)
I'm Wind by the way.
Wind
Ryan
Ryan.
Where are you from?
Wind
Ryan
America. And you?
China. You're a tourist here?
Wind
Ryan
Well, not exaclty. I'm a volunteer here.
Interesting. What do you do around here?
Wind
Ryan
Actually I just got here today. I'm not sure what's my job yet.
Haha
Wind
(原来美国人也这么不喜欢confrontation, 后来在香港的青旅里, 一个客人把公共区域的桌子搬到自己房间里了, 旁边的香港人, 英国人竟然都不愿意去confront, 于是我跑去跟那个人说了半天, 最后把桌子要回来了, 还蛮得意的, 以后有机会了写一篇用英语吵架给大家, 哈哈)
我走过去, 对她微笑, 然后说道:
So... you probably get this a lot. I'm traveling in the Philippines for a couple of months. Do you wanna, maybe, get a drink some time?
Wind
Lovely
haha. maybe(其实已经记不清她当时说啥了, 略紧张~)
Great! Can I have your number?
Wind
Lovely
Well, why don't you give me your number?
Well, I don't actually have a number yet. 'cause I'll be here for a while so I kinda wanna get a local number. You can give me your number and I'll call you.
Wind
Lovely
(hesitated for a second or two and then went to her purse and took out her phone and read her nubmer to me) *&$@#(&^#
Wind
Lovely
(laughed a bit)
So what's your name?
Wind
Lovely
(pointed to her badge) Lovely
Really? That's your name?
Wind
Lovely
Yeah
What a LOVELY name~ Mine is Wind. (I typed on my ipad and showed her)
Wind
Lovely
Wind. Nice to meet you, Wind.
Nice to meet you, too. Well, I'll let you get back to your work before the captain gets upset someone is bugging you. I'll call you. Bye.
Wind
Lovely
Bye. Enjoy your trip in the Philippines.
没啥好话题可以开场, 且没啥时间, 所以就直入主题试试看.
聊天的过程中, 其实很容易发现值得comment的东西, 或是in common的东西, 这些都可以拿来说说的. 比如这里的记不住电话和有趣的名字.
1 搭讪首要的是勇气, 其次才是话题
4你不需要多么牛掰的英语, 也许你搭讪的外国人英语也并不很好
