和朋友在一起

你可以使用一些非正式的英语表达：

What’s up?

How’s it going?

针对“What’s up?”的正确回答应该是“Not much”

同事聊天

在办公室里，你可以使用稍微正式一点的英语表达：

Hi, John. How are you doing?

How’s your day going?

We’re sure having a busy/slow day today.

Have you heard the news about ________?

(on Friday): Have you got any plans for the weekend?

(on Monday): How was your weekend?

和许久未见的朋友聊天

以下这些表达方式，适用于和久未谋面的朋友聊天：

Hi Paula! How have you been?

Long time no see!

So, what have you been up to lately?

How’s your family?

Are you still working at ABC Company?

在这种情况下，你可以问问你的朋友事业、学业、家庭、兴趣爱好方面有没有什么新变化。

在派对或婚礼上聊天

I don’t think we’ve met – I’m Shayna. Are you from New York?

So, how do you know Mary?

Have you tried the chocolate cake? It’s delicious!

如果你在一个派对或者婚礼上，你可以问问对方是怎么认识派对的主人（或者举办婚礼的新人），以此开始对话。你也可以评论一下派对或婚礼上的食物、饮料或者音乐。

在会议或工作场所对话

What did you think of the speaker?

That was an excellent workshop – I learned a lot. How about you?

这种表达法既可以用于非正式场合，也可以用于正式场合。你可以问对方的工作情况，他们是哪个公司的，以及他们对会议内容的看法。

和刚认识的人对话

Nice to meet you!

How do you two know each other?

So, what do you do for a living? (= what is your job?)

What are you studying?

How long have you been (a journalist / doing yoga / interested in music)?

How did you get into it?

和户外遇见的人对话

It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?

It looks like it’s going to rain/snow.

Can you believe all this rain/snow we’ve been having?

Sure is a hot/cold one today!

Your dog is so cute!

如果你在公园里、街上或者别的地方，要想打开话匣子，最通常的方式就是先聊聊天气。
