Many Americans find silence uncomfortable during a buffet or a formal dinner. So in the States there is a widespread practice of making "small talk" in certain social situations. Small talk deals with various topics superficially, simply for the sake of keeping a conversation going. The topics might include the weather, sports, college courses, clothing, food, etc. Small talk is especially useful at social gatherings when you meet someone for the first time, or when polite conversation is expected but no serious discussion is desired.
It is common but not necessarily expected that one knows someone in a group before engaging with him or her in conversation. However, at a party or other informal social gathering, a simple "May I join you?" and a self-introduction is normally sufficient to gain acceptance into a group and to join in a conversation. In some places, such as the lobby of a concert hall or theater, a waiting room or a classroom, it is common for strangers to start a conversation even without an introduction.
选项
答案
在自助餐会或是正式宴会上,如果冷场,美国人会觉得很别扭。所以在美国,在某些社交场合,普遍的做法就是“闲谈”。闲谈内容五花八门、漫无边际,目的无非是为了把谈话继续下去。话题可以包括天气、体育、学校课程、衣着、食物等等。在社交场所初次遇到别人,或者出于礼貌需要交谈而又不想作严肃的讨论时,闲谈是特别有用的。
一群人在交谈,通常你只要认识其中某一个人,即可参加进去,但也不一定非认得人不可。实际上,在派对或其他非正式社交场合中,只说一句“我可以参加吗?”,再自我介绍一下,通常就足以获得认可,参加这群人的谈话。在有些地方,如音乐厅或剧场的休息室、候车室或教室,陌生人常常甚至不作介绍就可以开始交谈。
