Have you ever been part of a conversation with someone where it feels like they just can’t wait to leave? You know they’re looking around like they want to run away or what’s happening outside the window is way more interesting than what you’re saying.

你是不是曾与或人举行对话的时辰，感受他们火烧眉毛地想分开呢？他们在四周观望，感受他们想逃跑同样，或窗外产生的事变比你说的话更有趣。

Maybe there’s a lot of sighing. Oh my goodness, it is

so uncomfortable but whose fault is this?

或许有不少叹气声。哦，我的天哪，太不惬意了，但这是谁的错呢？

Do you remember at the beginning of this video? Let’s recap.

你还记得这个视频的开首吗？让咱们回首一下。

Hello, I’m E妹妹a. I am from 妹妹mEnglish.

你好，我是艾玛。我来自甘旨英语频道。

That was all my fault. It was pretty dull.

那都是我的错。很是无聊。

Did you notice that I used more formal language when I spoke? I said hello instead of my usual hey and I added some unnecessary pauses instead of just allowing the sentence to flow.

你有无注重到我措辞时利用了改正式的说话呢？我说的是“你好”，而不是我凡是说的“嘿”，我添加了一些不需要的搁浅，而不是让句子流利地表达出来。

I used the passive voice instead of the active voice. My tone was flat and monotonous and I had little facial expression but when I changed the greeting to something more relaxed and conversational, the mood completely changed, didn’t it?

我利用的是被动语态而不是自动语态。我的语气平平单调，脸上几近没有脸色，可是当我把问候变得加倍轻松，加倍对话性的话，感受就彻底变了，对吧？

It went from being stiff and formal to being relaxed and fun. When I changed from a passive voice to an active voice it helped you to feel more involved like we were going to be doing this, working on this together and we are.

从僵直和正式酿成了轻松和有趣。当我从被动语态变成自动语态时，可让你有更多的介入感，咱们接下来就要这么做，一块儿尽力。

All of these are really small subtle changes but they can make a big difference when you’re speaking. So I’m going to show you a few co妹妹on phrases, maybe a little dull phrases and responses and then give you a few tips on how you can improve them, how you can make your conversations more engaging, fun and help people to really love speaking with you.

所有的都是很是渺小的渺小变革，但当你说出来时，会有很大的分歧。我将向大师展现一些经常使用短语，或许是一些很是乏味的短语和答复，然后就若何改良它们、若何使你的对话更有吸引力、更有趣并让他人喜好上和你措辞供给一些小诀窍。

So a really co妹妹on question, one that you have to answer all the time is “How are you?” but if you respond with “I’m fine”, well, you’re not really making anyone want to hang around and talk with you, right? So a better way to respond might be “I’m great, thanks!

一个非经常见的问题，你老是在答复的问题就是：“你好吗？” ，但若你答复“我很好”的话好吧，实在你并无想让他人和你措辞，对吧？以是更好的回应方法多是：“我很好，感谢！

I went to the spa today and had a lovely time. How about you?”

我今天去做 spa 了，很是高兴。你呢？”

But why is the second response so much better? I’ll tell you.

可是为甚么第二个答复要好很多呢？我来奉告你。

It is so hard to have a good conversation with someone if you are responding with just two words and these two words are said so often, there is nothing interesting or inspiring about the conversation and no desire to continue, right? But remember, our goal is to have great English conversations.

若是你只用两个词往返应的话，那末和或人很好地将对话举行下去是很是坚苦的，并且大师常常说这两个词，以是这阐明对话中没有任何有趣的工具，也让人感受不想继续，对吧？但请记着哦，咱们的方针是举行出色的英语对话。

You want to invite that person to keep speaking with you. I also added some extra details and asked a follow-on question which gives them a chance to respond to you.

你想让那小我继续和你措辞。我还添加了一些分外的细节，并提出了一个后续问题，让他们有机遇复兴你。

I also used a really easy going friendly tone, I had a smile on my face. It gets the conversation off to a great start.

我也用了一种很是随和友爱的语气，我的脸上带着微笑。它让对话有了一个杰出的初步。

All right what about those times when someone tells you about something that they’ve done, something really fun and you do think that it’s great. So you probably know, you’ve got heaps of responses up your sleeve. You could say “That’s cool”.

好的，当有人奉告你他们做过的一些事变，一些很是有趣的事变，而且你也认为这很棒的时辰呢？你可能晓得，你已筹备好不少复兴了。 你可以说：“这很酷”。

“Well that’s nice.” But then they look at you and the conversation sort of dies down a little.

“哇，很棒呀。”但随后他们看了看你，对话有点平平下去了。

You didn’t really say anything wrong but maybe they were hoping you were more enthusiastic and don’t forget you really did think their story was great so perhaps a better thing to say might be “Ahh, that’s wonderful. When did you start doing that?”

你并无说错甚么，但或许他们但愿你更热忱一点，不要健忘你确切认为他们的故事很棒，以是或许更好的说法多是：“啊，太棒了。你何时起头做的呢？”

So why shouldn’t you say that’s cool or that’s nice or that’s good, but they’re just words that are used way too often. They can be used for almost anything.

以是你为甚么不该该说“这很酷”或“那很好”，由于它们利用频率过高了。它们几近可以用于任何环境。

People get a little bit bored of hearing them. So in this case because you were so impressed or you were so interested or excited about what they had to say, we’ve got to level up our language to help show that enthusiasm.

听到它们，人们会感受有点无聊。是以在这类环境下，由于你印象很深入，或你对他们说的内容很是感乐趣或感触很愉快，咱们必需提高咱们的说话程度来表示出这类热忱。

You want to use more interesting adjectives like incredible, wonderful or my favourite that I use all the time is epic. Now epic is a little more casual than the other options but it really does help to show your enthusiasm.

你想利用更有趣的形容词，好比“incredible”、“wonderful”，或我一向利用的我最喜好的形容词是“epic”。“Epic”比其他的更随便一些，但它确切有助于展现你的热忱。

Now with all of these responses we want to make sure you’ve got a positive enthusiastic tone, you’re excited, right? So get ready to practise after me.

有了这些复兴，咱们但愿确保你表示出了一种踊跃热忱的语气，你很愉快，对吧？以是筹备好随着我操练吧。

Wow! That’s incredible! When did you start doing that?

哇！ 太难以置信了！你何时起头的？

Nicely said! Okay so imagine this.

说的很棒！好的，想象一下。

You’re sitting down with your colleague at lunch and you can’t wait to tell them about this crazy dream that you’ve had. You start talking about the dungeons and the dragons and the frogs with wings and fairies that barked, but then you notice they’re actually staring off into the distance and they’re not really interested at all.

你和你的同事一块儿吃午餐，你火烧眉毛地想奉告他们你做的这个猖獗的梦。你起头评论辩论地牢、龙、长着同党的田鸡和吠叫的仙女，但随后你注重到人们实际上是在盯着远方，他们底子不感乐趣。

I mean, you’ve been talking about this in a great amount of detail for maybe five minutes now. But they’re not really paying any attention.

我的意思是，你已很是具体地会商了这个问题约莫有五分钟了。但他们并无真正把注重力放在上面。

All right so if you want to have a great conversation with someone, telling them a long story about your crazy wild dream is probably not gonna help you get there. It’s better to keep your story short and to involve them in some way.

好的，若是你想与或人举行舒畅的扳谈，向他们讲述有关你猖獗的梦的长篇大论可能不会帮忙你实现方针。最佳让你的故事简短一点，并以某种方法让听众介入进来。

Ask for their opinion about it, get them in on the discussion. I dreamt about barking fairies last night.

收罗他们的定见，让他们介入会商。我昨晚梦见了吠叫的仙女。

It was a little strange. What do you think it means?

有点奇异。你感觉是甚么意思呢？

Easy, right? I mean, they probably won’t know what it means but at least you’re not having a one-sided conversation.

很简略吧？他们可能不晓得这象征着甚么，但最少你没有举行片面的对话。

You’re inviting them in and that is one of the keys to incredible conversations. Imagine your flatmate has just told you about the long day that they’ve had.

你在约请他们参加进来，这是美好对话的关头之一。想象一下，你的室友方才奉告你他们渡过了漫长的一天。

They seem really down, perhaps a little tired. So you say “Don’t worry, just be positive!”

他们看起来很懊丧，或许有点累。以是你说：“别担忧，踊跃一点！”

Now I know that you have good intentions with this but it is a phrase that is used so often, so often it can kind of seem a little insensitive. So instead you could say something like “That sounds like an exhausting day.

我晓得你的本意是好的，但这是一个常常利用的短语，看起来有点太淡然了。是以，你可以说：“听起来今天很使人精疲力竭的一天。

Is there anything that I can do to help?” So the first part of the response expresses empathy, it lets them know that you understand how they’re feeling and of course, showing empathy can get someone to open up more.

有甚么我可以帮手的吗？”以是答复的第一部门表达了你的同理心，让他人晓得你理解他们的感觉，固然了，表示出同理心可让人加倍洞开心扉。

It lets them know that you care. When you want to ask about someone’s day you might simply say “How are you?” or “How’s it going?”

可让他们晓得你在意他们。当你想扣问或人的一天时，你可以简略地说：“你好吗”或“近来怎样样？”

But you could also try mixing it up a little bit. Did you have a good day?

但你也能够测验考试将其夹杂起来。你今天过得还好么？

I mean people are so accustomed to hearing “How are you?” that they respond without thinking. How are you?

我的意思是，人们常常听到：“你好吗？”，以是他们想都不想就答复了。你好吗？

I’m fine. Good, thanks. How are you?

我很好。好的，感谢。你呢？

But remember our goal here is great conversations and making sure our conversation keeps going. So even if we just change the words a little bit and we add something a bit more inquisitive, an upbeat tone then they’ll probably change the way that they respond to you as well.

但请记着，咱们的方针是举行出色的对话，并确保咱们的对话继续举行。是以，即便咱们只是略微扭转一下说话，并添加一些更具好奇心的感受，一种乐观的语气，那末他们也可能会扭转他们对你的回应方法。

Hey E妹妹a! How you going? I’m fine, thanks. And you?

嘿，艾玛！ 你怎样样呢？我很好，感谢。 你呢？

I’m fine too. Hey E妹妹a! Have you had a good day so far?

我也很好。嘿，艾玛！ 今天过得怎样样呢？

Yeah I had a great day! I went to the beach for a swim and then I’ve just finished meeting with the 妹妹mEnglish design team about our new website.

是的，我渡过了舒畅的一天！我去海滩泅水了，然后我方才关于咱们的新网站问题与 妹妹mEnglish 设计团队碰头了。

How about you? All right, now I’ve got a little challenge for you.

你呢？好的，如今我有一个小挑战要给你。

You’re going to hear three different contexts or different examples of things that people might say to you and I want you to think about the best way to respond in order to keep the conversation going. Try to think of fun, interesting and engaging ways to continue the conversation.

你会听到人们可能对你说三种分歧的上下文或分歧的例子，我但愿你思虑一下最佳的回应方法，以连结对话的举行。试着想一想有趣和惹人入胜的方法来继续对话。

Ready? So your friend asks you about a movie that you saw last night.

筹备好了吗？你的朋侪问你昨晚看的一部片子。

It was a movie that you absolutely loved and you really enjoyed the acting. What kind of thing could you say?

这是一部你很喜好的片子，你真的很喜好它的演出。你能说甚么？

So I might say: It was fantastic!

以是我可能会说：太棒了！

I really loved the actors. So when someone asks you a question like this, try to change up the words that you use.

我真的很喜好内里的演员。以是当有人问你如许的问题时，试着扭转你利用的词。

Give a little bit more detail to keep things interesting. Now imagine your friend tried skydiving for the first time.

供给更多细节以连结意见意义性。如今想象一下你的朋侪第一次测验考试跳伞。

What would you say to them when they told you about what they did over the weekend? I’d say: That’s epic! What was it like?

当他们奉告你他们周末做了甚么时，你会对他们说甚么？我会说：太棒了！ 详细是甚么样的呢？

Now the word epic is way cooler than cool. It’s not said as often so it’s more fun and engaging and meaningful and asking that follow-on question helps to keep the conversation going, doesn’t it?

“Epic”这个词比“cooler”更酷一些。这其实不常常说，以是它更有趣、更有吸引力、更成心义，问一些后续的问题有助于连结对话的举行，对吧？

Okay, how about this scenario? Your friend has just told you that they received a low score on their IELTS test.

好吧，这个场景呢？你的朋侪方才奉告你，他们的雅思测验分数很低。

What would you say? I’d say:

你筹算说甚么？我会说：

IELTS exams are so tough. I’m sure many people feel the same way.

雅思测验太难了。我信赖不少人都有一样的感受。

What can I do to help you feel better? When a friend is feeling down or they’ve had some bad luck, showing empathy and offering to help shows them that you’re listening, it also invites the conversation to keep going, right?

我能做些甚么来让你感受好些呢？当朋侪情感低沉或他们命运欠好时，表示出怜悯心并供给帮忙可以向他们表白你在当真谛听，这也会帮忙对话继续举行，对吧？

Definitely don’t show up telling them what they should have done or how they could have done it better. That’s not very helpful at all.

不要奉告他们应当做甚么或他们若何做得更好。这毫无帮忙。

So that’s five boring, dull expressions out the window and five new phrases and tips to keep your conversations going, to keep them interesting. I hope that this video helps you to have longer, more meaningful, more interesting conversations in English.

以是这是应当被丢弃的五个无聊、烦闷的表达方法和五个新的短语和技能，可让你的对话继续举行，让对话连结有趣。我但愿这个视频能帮忙你用英语举行更长、更成心义、更有趣的对话。
