Idle Talk
你首先得注意在适当的时机寻找适当的人作为询问对象。
尽管西方人比较讲礼貌,但如果你在他们忙着的时候或心情(mood)不好的时候去打搅他们,也很可能得不到满意的答复。
其次,注意问话时发音清楚,开门见山地提出问题,千万不要为了显示自己懂礼貌,客气话说了许多,弄得别人不知你究竟想干什么。当然在问话前不要忘记说:Excuse me(对不起)。
第三,当你得到自己所需要的信息(information)后,别忘了向对方道谢,最常用的表示是Thank you 讲的时候,注意用降调而不要用升调。降调听来显得真诚(sincere)。说的时候,头略微前倾。
而升调则显得有些事务性,如公共汽车上女售票员请乘客出示月票时,她会用升调逐一向对她出示月票的乘客们说:“Thankyou ”
第四,致意时不要行举手礼,英美人在表示谢意时,一般不用手势。

关心别人,询问别人的健康状况,这是有教养、讲礼貌的人应该做的。可是到了国外,对外国朋友表示这种关心,询问别人的健康状况,就不能用中国人的传统方式了。
我们都知道“How are you?”(你好吗?)这一句英美国家人们见面时的问候语,并不是真要问别人身体健康的情况,而是作为寒暄。如果关系一般,回答这句话时也只是说:“Fine, thank you ”
这句话并不直接回答身体情况。如果关系不错,当然可以照直说自己身体如何。
