与新西兰人交谈禁忌(2)
止于心
How much did you pay for that car? (你的汽车是多少钱买的?)
Are you married or single? (你结婚了吗?)
How come you are still single? (你怎么还没结婚呢?)
So you’re divorced. What was the reason? Couldn’t you two get along? (噢,你离婚了,什么原因呢?两人合不来吗?)
Why don’t you have more children? (你为什么不多要几个孩子?)
有时,我们想了解别人的情况,并非出于好奇,而是想知道该怎样对待他、怎样和他相处,这时应处理得比较得体,可以先谈谈自己的情况,然后再引导对方谈他的情况,这样做往往会达到预期的效果。
