工作学习 / English / 前几天在amazon上买了一本书<The Fine Art of Small Talk>,里面有非常详细的例子说明了在各种场合如何与native speaker在各种场合说废话,拉关系,保持顺利的对话,以及如何在对话中留下好的印象。我觉得非常实用,介绍给大家。

通用的招数恐怕只有:Hello, nice to meet you, byebye 了您呢! 要不就是在边上傻笑,猛陪无知的笑脸给鬼佬鬼婆,奥,还有pardon me。我们中国人不比什么印巴人,东欧人,南美人差,为什么给人的映像就是英语太差。学学香港人是如何学习英文的吧。

谢谢推荐。我也觉得学会small talk很重要,可以根本扭转谈话中反应迟钝、木讷的不良印象。:P 平时自己也注意从肥皂剧里面学习,不过,有系统总结的书还是不错的。:D

Thx a lot. 这本捆绑销售的书 "Conversationally Speaking : Tested New Ways to Increase Your Personal and Social Effectiveness"你觉得怎么样?

其实我不建议同种类型的书买两本,因为英文不是我们的母语,速度必然太慢。所以我们必须先保证看书的宽泛面,然后才讲到深度。另外在和老外的交往中经常被问到一些“知识面”的问题,等我收集一下贴出来。

从amazon的读者评价来看 Conversationally Speaking 还要好些。但很多读者是当地人,未必适用我们。建议去图书馆或书店先翻翻看。另外,Conversationally Speaking 在美就10美元左右,在amazon.ca要30加元,简直是打劫

我平时看电视时候专门在边上放着小本本,By that can I instantly grasp the specific speaking towards the specific situation. 这样以后一有这种相关情形出现,立刻有内容挑到我脑子里。以前在新加坡买过类似总结small talk的书,后来发现居然在这里的电视里都可以看到。

39块才能免费运送哦,还有什么好书推荐的吗?凑够39一起订,不然还要负6块多的运费,挺贵的。

以前找工作的时候买了一本successful cold call selling专门将如何打cold call,最有趣的是它附有script,你记住它的各种情形与对话,就可以了。

多谢啦!:) BTW,俺没在amazon上买过书,一般它上面的书在CHAPTER里面会有吗?还是说amazon上的价钱会便宜?
-littletomato(多少);

Actually the books in Chapter are around 10% higher than in Amazon, resulting from the different business model and the consequent inventories. Alternatively, you can make sure to call Chapter's customer service.

我倒是想买一本,但问题是大家住的彼此也很远,到时互相送书取书的还是费时费力。你有什么好办法?BTW,我住在york university附近。

如果要买的话加我一个吧, 相对于$14.85的书,$5.9 的运费有点贵, 我在CHAPTER上查了,那里暂时没货.

好像书评不怎么好么,我挺相信AMAZON的书评,一般不好的书不敢买。不信你拿自己看过的书查查他的书评。

其他的书可能是这样,但是学习语言的书就不太应该跟老外的评价,他们的角度与我们学习语言的角度不同。我们需要的是立刻能用上的英语废话和客套话,这点他们不需要学。

用了一个星期的时间终于看完那本small talk 的书了,我的品论与网上有些不同,因为我是中国人,书中内容对native speaker基本是废话,他们从小就会并且在各种场合经常用,但对我,虽然都听的懂,但说不标准。要我给个评分,大概是80分,也就是说,要是作者少写些论述的话就跟精炼了。

今天在我同事面前show off 了两句从small talk 书里学习的话,果然让他打开了话匣子,我自己觉得与他的关系比之前融洽些了,最起码,让我自己很开心,希望同胞们也能把英语说的很开心而不是一种负担

在书店browse了这本书,感觉对大部分中国人用处不大: 书中主要解决内向不会说话的人如何开口说话的问题,而这边大部分中国人的问题是如何表达英语而不是学会如何开口说话。

Do u think if u can express in native way exactly same as on the book or TV show? I am afraid that most of Chines though they were speaking English, but unfortunately they speak Chinese English.I am not an exception, what about you? No hard feeling.

Considering you want to learn this, you can learn anywhere, even one simple conversational book in English or one English movie, that is same with that book.In fact, watching 'friends' or 'everyone loves Ray' does far more help than that one.

I feel the same way. Anyhow, that book gives us a summary complementing "Friends" or "Will & Grace" and alike.From the bottom line, we don't want to put all eggs on one basket. Otherwise, there is nothing you can fall back on.
