你是否觉得自己的英语卡住了?

Are you feeling stuck with your English?

Speaker 1

我们将向你展示如何通过关注连接而非完美,变得无所畏惧、流利自如,由你的美国主持人Aubrey Carter(雅思高手)和Lindsay McMahon(英语冒险家)共同呈现。

We'll show you how to become fearless and fluent by focusing on connection, not perfection, with your American host, Aubrey Carter, the IELTS whiz, and Lindsay McMahon, the English adventurer.

Speaker 1

来自美国亚利桑那州和科罗拉多州。

Coming to you from Arizona and Colorado, USA.

Speaker 1

赞美有时比你意识到的含义更多。

Compliments are sometimes about more than you realize.

Speaker 1

今天,了解赞美背后无形的社交层面,并学会轻松应对,以建立连接。

Today, learn about the invisible social layer when it comes to compliments, and learn how to handle them with ease to connect.

Speaker 0

你是否曾走出会议室,心想:“我本可以说得更好”?

Have you ever walked out of a meeting thinking, "I could've said that better"?

Speaker 0

你什么都听懂了,但你的回应却简短或不清楚,或者不像你平时的风格。

You understood everything, but your response came out short or unclear, or not quite like you.

Speaker 0

也许你的想法很出色,但你的英语还没能把它展现出来。

Maybe your ideas are strong, but your English doesn't show it yet.

Speaker 0

你会忘记本来认识的单词,无法自然地解释事情,快节奏的对话让你只能默默跟上。

You forget words you know, you can't explain things naturally, and fast conversations leave you quietly catching up.

Speaker 0

这种差距让人沮丧,但它也很具体,而且完全可以弥补。

That gap can be frustrating, but it's also very specific and very fixable.

Speaker 0

我们的两分钟流利度测试能帮你找出差距在哪里,以及你的水平是B1、B2还是C1。

Our two-minute fluency quiz helps you understand where that gap is and whether your level is B1, B2, or C1.

Speaker 0

一旦你知道了自己的水平,进步就会感觉更轻松、更快速。

When you know your level, progress feels lighter and faster.

Speaker 0

你好,Lindsay。

Hello, Lindsay.

Speaker 0

你今天怎么样?

How are you today?

Speaker 1

我很好,Aubrey。

Good, Aubrey.

Speaker 1

你擅长接受别人的赞美吗?

Are you good at receiving compliments?

Speaker 0

我真的不太擅长。

I'm really not.

Speaker 1

哦,真的吗?

Oh, really?

Speaker 0

这是我需要改进的地方。

This is something I need to work on.

Speaker 0

这不是我的强项。

It's not one of my skills.

Speaker 0

我经常会把它打发掉或者轻描淡写地一带而过。

I often will dismiss it or play it down.

Speaker 1

哦,对。

Oh, yeah.

Speaker 0

而且我确实有过一些不太愉快的互动,我让对方感觉我好像,怎么说呢,几乎有点无礼。

And I have had sort of some negative interactions, where I make the other person feel almost like, I don't know, like I almost come off as rude maybe.

Speaker 1

哦,不会吧。

Oh, no.

Speaker 0

所以这是我需要改进的地方。

So this is something I could do better.

Speaker 0

你呢,Lindsay?

What about you, Lindsay?

Speaker 1

哦,不。是的,我在这方面有意识地努力过。

Oh, no. Yeah, I've worked on this consciously.

Speaker 1

我觉得我们很多人都有这样的固定思维,就是我们应该谦虚,或者说他们夸错了,这个夸奖不成立,或者说我们不应该得到这个功劳的理由。

I think a lot of us have kind of these scripts of we should be modest, or we should say they're wrong and the compliment's not valid, or a reason why we don't deserve the credit for something.

Speaker 1

但我一直在努力克服这一点,试着更好地学会说谢谢。

But I've been kind of pushing back on that and just trying to get better at saying thank you.

Speaker 0

对。

Yes.

Speaker 0

对,完全正确。

Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 0

真奇怪,这居然不是每个人天生就会的。

It's crazy this doesn't come naturally to everyone.

Speaker 0

对我来说就不是天生的。

It doesn't come naturally to me.

Speaker 0

我觉得,就像你说的,我试图显得谦虚——

I think, like you said, I'm trying to sound humble-

Speaker 0

……但结果反而会弄巧成拙——

... but then I'll end up shooting myself in the foot by-

Speaker 1

当然。

Sure

Speaker 0

结果把事情搞得更糟。

... making it worse.

Speaker 0

我就想,"我本来应该说声谢谢的",然后也许再说点好听的...

I'm like, "I should've just said thank you," and then maybe a nice...

Speaker 0

所以今天我很期待深入探讨这个话题。

So I'm excited to dive into this today.

Speaker 0

当我研究这个的时候,发现有几件事...

As I sort of studied up on this, there were-

Speaker 0

...让我觉得,"其实我自己在这方面也能做得更好。"

... several things where I'm like, "I could do better at this myself, actually."

Speaker 1

对。

Yes.

Speaker 1

是的,确实如此。

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1

在北美文化中,比如加拿大、美国,有时也包括西欧和英国,经常会出现这样的情况——

So often in North American culture, that's Canada, the US, maybe sometimes in Western Europe and the UK, for example-

Speaker 1

赞美可以是一种友好的社交举动。

... a compliment can be a friendly, social gesture.

Speaker 1

它不是对你个人的深刻评价,只是一种表示友好的方式。

It's not a deep judgment about you, it's just a gesture.

Speaker 1

某种程度上,它也是开启对话的一种方式,对吧?

Kind of a conversation starter in a way, right?

Speaker 0

对,没错。

Right, exactly.

Speaker 0

如果有人说“我喜欢你的夹克”,或者——

If someone says, "I love your jacket," or-

Speaker 0

“那个演示做得真棒”,或者——

... "Great job on that presentation," or-

Speaker 0

“你的英语真棒。”

... "Your English is amazing."

Speaker 0

很多时候,对方只是出于热情,想开启一段简短而愉快的交流。

A lot of the time, the person is being warm, and their goal is to open a door to a quick, nice exchange.

Speaker 0

如果你那样做,可能会不小心把这段交流给掐断。

And you could accidentally shut down that exchange if you do-

Speaker 0

就像我有时会不小心做的那样,把夸奖推开。

... what I accidentally do sometimes, which is to push it away-

Speaker 1

对。

Yes

Speaker 0

试图否定它。

... to try and negate it.

Speaker 1

因为讽刺的是,这件事可能并不像你想的那样是关于你的。

Because the irony here is that it might not be as much about you as you think it is.

Speaker 1

也许那个人是在试图……也许那个人感到尴尬,然后对你说了句夸奖的话,因为——我确定那可能是真诚的,当然——但他们在找话说。

It might be that the person is trying to... Maybe the person is feeling awkward, and they make a compliment to you because, and I'm sure it could be genuine, sure, but they're looking for something to say.

Speaker 0

没错。

Exactly.

Speaker 1

所以——

And so-

Speaker 0

就是随便说说而已。

It's just something to say.

Speaker 0

找个话题聊聊。

Something to spark a conversation.

Speaker 1

就是随便说说。

Just something to say.

Speaker 0

对。

Exactly.

Speaker 1

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 1

没错。

Exactly.

Speaker 1

所以当我们把赞美推开的时候,就像很多人做的那样,奥布里,就像你说的——

So when we push it away, which is what a lot of people do, Aubrey, as you said-

Speaker 1

这会让对方觉得很有攻击性,真的会让人很不舒服。

... it can feel aggressive, it can feel really off-putting to the person that made that compliment.

Speaker 0

对,没错。

Yes, exactly.

Speaker 0

而且这会打断——

And it shuts down-

Speaker 1

天哪

Man

Speaker 0

——当你想要展开更深层次交流的时候,对话就被打断了。

... the conversation when you want to open it up for a deeper exchange.

Speaker 0

所以今天——

So today-

Speaker 0

——我们要聊聊这个很多人都犯过的常见错误,我自己也不例外——

... we're going to share about this common mistake that many of us are guilty of, myself included-

Speaker 0

——以及你应该如何回应赞美来建立联系。

... and how you should respond to compliments to build connection.

Speaker 1

这是让英语对话顺畅进行并真正帮助你建立联系的重要社交信号之一。

This is one of the important social signals that makes English conversations flow and actually helps you connect.

Speaker 1

但信不信由你,Aubrey,很多课程、学校、教室、书本,都不教这个。

But believe it or not, Aubrey, a lot of courses, schools, classrooms, books, they don't teach this.

Speaker 1

他们从没在学校里教过我们的听众这些。

They never taught our listeners this in school.

Speaker 1

我们学了语法,学了词汇,这当然也很重要,别误会。

We learned the grammar, we learned the vocabulary, which, don't get me wrong, is important.

Speaker 1

发音、习语,但我们从没学过——

The pronunciation, the idioms, but we never learned-

Speaker 0

对

Exactly

Speaker 1

那些不成文的社交连接规则。

... the unwritten social codes of connection.

Speaker 0

没错,尤其是如果课本不考虑文化,不关注文化差异的话。

Exactly, especially if a textbook isn't thinking about culture, isn't focusing on cultural differences.

Speaker 0

他们可能会假设——

They might assume-

Speaker 0

……“哦,大家都明白这个”,因为他们假设——

... "Oh, everyone understands this," because they're assuming-

Speaker 1

哦,天哪

Oh, gosh

Speaker 0

……他们都来自相同的文化背景。

... they're all coming from the same culture.

Speaker 0

但通常情况并非如此。

But that's not usually the case.

Speaker 0

所以重要的是——

So it is important-

Speaker 0

……了解社交暗示在不同文化中是如何运作不同的。

... to learn about how social cues work differently across cultures.

Speaker 1

所以这就是为什么这个月我们大量讨论英语社交,因为我们意识到它的重要性,它确实是连接中缺失的那一块。

So that's why this month we're talking a lot about socializing in English, because we realize how important it is, how it's really that missing piece for your connection.

Speaker 1

而且这个月晚些时候,我们有特别的内容要推出,Aubrey,对吧?

And later this month, we have something special coming, Aubrey, don't we?

Speaker 0

是的,没错。

Yes, exactly.

Speaker 0

我们准备分享一个方法,教你这些让英语对话顺畅的社交信号。

We have a method we are going to share that teaches you these social signals that make English conversations flow.

Speaker 0

你可以到 allearsenglish.com/social 加入早期兴趣名单,这样当这个内容上线时,你会第一时间知道。

So you can join the early interest list at allearsenglish.com/social, and then you'll be the first to know when this is available.

Speaker 1

对,大家快去加入这个名单吧。

Yes, get on that list, guys.

Speaker 1

allearsenglish.com/social。

allearsenglish.com/social.

Speaker 1

那我们来一起看几个角色扮演的例子,其中一个人夸另一个人,而另一个人却不当回事。

So let's dive into a couple of role plays here, where someone is giving someone a compliment, and someone else is brushing it off.

Speaker 1

这就是那种感觉。

This is how it feels.

Speaker 0

对。

Yes.

Speaker 0

哦,好的。

Ooh, okay.

Speaker 0

那我先来。

I'll start us off.

Speaker 0

这个蛋糕是你做的吗?

Did you make this cake?

Speaker 0

太好吃了。

It's fantastic.

Speaker 1

哎呀,没什么啦。

Oh, it was nothing.

Speaker 1

我就是照着食谱做的。

I just followed a recipe.

Speaker 0

对。

Yes.

Speaker 1

感觉我刚才说那句话挺傻的,对吧?

It feels like I was silly to even make that comment, right?

Speaker 0

我就会觉得,哦,然后对话就断了,接下来我该说什么呢?

I would feel like, oh, and it just would shut down, like, what do I say next?

Speaker 1

没错。

Exactly.

Speaker 0

它本来可以开启一段有趣的对话。

It could have opened to an interesting conversation.

Speaker 0

结果呢,我反而觉得好像被批评了——

Instead, I might feel sort of criticized for-

Speaker 0

……因为我喜欢那个蛋糕。

... having liked the cake at all.

Speaker 1

我真的不太想继续聊下去了。

I really don't want to keep talking, necessarily.

Speaker 1

我要去找别人说话了。

I'm going to go talk to someone else.

Speaker 0

对,所以把赞美不当回事或者轻描淡写,听起来就像你在纠正对方,然后对话就会悄悄结束,对吧?

Yeah, so brushing off a compliment or playing it down can sound like you're correcting them, and it can sort of quietly close the conversation, right?

Speaker 0

他们主动开启的那个温暖的小瞬间,就这样戛然而止了。

This warm little moment that they offered, that they tried to open, just stops.

Speaker 0

所以,对,我们的目标绝对不是炫耀——

So yeah, definitely the goal isn't to brag-

Speaker 0

而是要接受这个赞美,而不是把它推开或者轻描淡写。

... but it's to receive this compliment, instead of waving it away or playing it down.

Speaker 1

当然,我也很清楚,很多人觉得北美文化特别爱自我推销。

And of course, I'm really aware that a lot of people see North American culture as very self-promotional.

Speaker 1

所以别误会我们的意思。

So don't get us wrong here.

Speaker 1

我再说一遍奥布里刚才说的话。

I'm going to repeat what Aubrey just said.

Speaker 1

我们的目标不是炫耀。

The goal here isn't to brag.

Speaker 1

你不需要刻意夸大,比如“我真是个超棒的蛋糕师傅。”

You don't need to play it up necessarily, "I'm such a great cake maker.

Speaker 1

没人有我的配方。

No one has my recipes.

Speaker 1

我有独门绝技。

I have the special touch."

Speaker 1

那很傻,对吧?

That's silly, right?

Speaker 1

你不会那么说的。

You're not going to say that.

Speaker 0

是不是很棒?

Isn't it amazing?

Speaker 0

我知道,大家都喜欢。

I know, everyone loves it.

Speaker 1

如果那是你讽刺的风格,那也行。

Maybe if that's your sarcastic personality, fine.

Speaker 1

但一般来说,为了建立联系,你不会贬低它,也不会夸大它,你只是接受它,对吧?

But in general, for connection, you're not going to play it down, you're not going to bring it up, you're just going to accept it, right?

Speaker 1

利用他们向你敞开心扉的那一刻,在那时建立联系。

And use that moment that they've opened up for you to connect at that point.

Speaker 0

没错。

Exactly.

Speaker 0

那我们来做一次角色扮演,看看怎么更好地处理这种情况,怎么更好地接受赞美。

So let's share a role play of how this could be handled a little better, how to receive that compliment better.

Speaker 0

那还是我先开始吧。

So I'll start us out again.

Speaker 1

好的。

Okay.

Speaker 0

这蛋糕是你做的吗?

Did you make this cake?

Speaker 0

太好吃了。

It's fantastic.

Speaker 1

谢谢。

Thank you.

Speaker 1

谢谢你的夸奖。

I appreciate that.

Speaker 1

我挺兴奋能尝试一个新食谱。

I was excited to try a new recipe.

Speaker 0

那你选得真不错。

Well, you picked a really good one.

Speaker 0

你多久烤一次?

How often do you bake?

Speaker 1

你看,就是这样。

There you go.

Speaker 1

看,这就是我们看到的那个赞美的真正目的。

See, and that's where we see what the point of that compliment really was.

Speaker 1

它并不是让你觉得自己是个很棒的烘焙师。

It wasn't to make you feel like a great baker.

Speaker 1

它其实是为了开启一段对话。

It was to actually get started with a conversation.

Speaker 1

那个人可能和你一样觉得尴尬,他们需要一种方式来打开话题。

That person may have been feeling just as awkward as you're feeling, and they needed a way to get in.

Speaker 1

他们用了一句赞美,现在我们聊到了,你多久烤一次东西?

They used a compliment, now we're off to, how often do you bake?

Speaker 1

你做饭吗?

Do you cook?

Speaker 1

你做什么菜?

What do you cook?

Speaker 1

你烤什么?

What do you bake?

Speaker 1

很好的对话。

Great conversations.

Speaker 0

没错,谁知道接下来会聊到哪里去呢。

Exactly, and who knows where it could go from there.

Speaker 0

你会学到各种各样的——

You're going to learn all kinds-

Speaker 0

……关于彼此的各种事情。

... of things about each other.

Speaker 0

那一定会很棒。

It's going to be awesome.

Speaker 0

所以我们有一个想分享的模式——

So we have this pattern that we want to share-

Speaker 1

对

Yes

Speaker 0

……那就是先感谢对方的赞美,然后再加上一点小信息或感受。

... which is to thank for the compliment, and then add a small piece of information or a feeling.

Speaker 0

即使你只说“谢谢”就完了,那也会有问题。

Even if you just said, "Thanks," full stop, that also would be a problem.

Speaker 0

你得加点什么,让对话能继续下去。

You want to add something that opens up the conversation.

Speaker 1

而这个模式只是我们“英语社交”方法中的众多模式和技巧之一,这个月晚些时候我们会详细聊聊。

And this pattern is just one of the many patterns and techniques that you get inside our method, Socializing in English, which we'll talk about a bit later this month.

Speaker 1

但这个模式,基本上,你所说的,基本上就是,'我持开放态度。'

But this pattern, essentially, what you're saying, essentially, is, "I'm open.

Speaker 1

我准备好继续聊了。

I'm ready to keep talking."

Speaker 1

你在给他们一个信号,让他们继续跟你聊下去。

You're giving them the signal that they need to keep talking to you.

Speaker 1

明白吗?

Okay?

Speaker 0

对,没错。

Exactly, right.

Speaker 0

而且这些回应都是固定搭配,对吧?

And these responses are chunks, right?

Speaker 1

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 0

我们不是逐字逐句去拼的。

We don't build them word by word.

Speaker 0

我们会直接抓取类似“谢谢,我很感激”这样的表达,然后你会去——

We grab something like, "Thanks, I appreciate that," and then you're going to-

Speaker 1

对

Yes

Speaker 0

……加上一些小的信息。

... add some kind of little information.

Speaker 0

比如你刚才说,“我很兴奋尝试一个新食谱。”

For you, you just said, "I was excited to try a new recipe."

Speaker 0

太棒了。

Amazing.

Speaker 0

这给了我在对话中很多可以展开的方向。

That gives me so many places to go in that conversation.

Speaker 1

那你都是从哪里找食谱的?

So, where do you get your recipes?

Speaker 1

你听说过《纽约时报》的食谱吗?

Have you heard of New York Times recipe?

Speaker 1

那时候你可以做很多事情。

There's so much you could do at that point.

Speaker 0

没错。

Exactly.

Speaker 1

但是Aubrey——

But Aubrey-

Speaker 1

——赞美总是邀请闲聊和建立联系吗?

... is a compliment always an invitation for small talk and connection?

Speaker 1

你怎么看?

What do you think?

Speaker 0

这是个好问题。

That's a great question.

Speaker 0

不一定,对吧?

Not necessarily, right?

Speaker 0

有三件事会改变我们对赞美的回应方式。

There are three things that shift how we respond to a compliment.

Speaker 0

所以我们来分享一下——

So we're going to share-

Speaker 0

……这三件事,因为首先,关系,对吧?

... those three things, because first of all, the relationship, right?

Speaker 1

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 0

对于每天见面的好朋友,你直接说声“谢谢”,然后马上转到——

With a close friend that you see every day, you could just say, "Thanks," and then immediately pivot to-

Speaker 0

……“你儿子怎么样?”

... "How's your son?"

Speaker 0

当你们非常了解彼此时,情况就大不相同了。

That's very different when you know each other really well.

Speaker 1

是的,没错。

Yes, exactly.

Speaker 1

非常不同。

Very different.

Speaker 1

这些是层次。

These are layers.

Speaker 1

这些是策略。

These are strategies.

Speaker 1

当我们很了解那个人的时候,我们不需要那些策略。

We don't need those strategies when we know that person well.

Speaker 1

第二点是场合。

Number two is the place.

Speaker 1

如果我们在派对或者社交活动上,那个后续跟进就更重要一些,因为就像我们说的,那个赞美很可能只是打开对话的一个引子。

If we're at a party or a networking event, that follow-up matters a bit more, because the compliment is, like we said, is probably an opening to a conversation.

Speaker 0

没错。

Exactly.

Speaker 1

它本身不是一个独立的目标。

It's not just a self-contained goal in itself.

Speaker 0

没错。

Exactly.

Speaker 0

根据你所在的地方和交谈的对象,你回应赞美的方式可能对你的社交网络或建立新友谊非常重要,对吧?

Depending on where you are and who you're talking to, the way you respond to a compliment might really be vital for your network, or to create a new friendship, right?

Speaker 0

所以,是的——

So yeah-

Speaker 0

……取决于你在哪里。

... depending on where you are.

Speaker 0

然后第三点是你的时间。

And then number three is your time.

Speaker 0

你有多少时间。

How much time you have.

Speaker 1

总是很重要。

Always important.

Speaker 0

如果你们只是匆匆擦肩而过——

If you're both running past each other-

Speaker 0

……也许你只有时间快速说声谢谢。

... a quick thank you is maybe all you have time for.

Speaker 0

但如果你有时间,停下来,正在聊天,这显然是一个展开更大对话的机会,那么你肯定想遵循这个模式说:‘谢谢,我很感激’,然后再加上一些内容。

But if you have time, you're stopped, you're having a conversation, it's clearly an opportunity to build a bigger conversation, then you definitely would want to follow this pattern to say, "Thanks, I appreciate that," and then add something more.

Speaker 1

而时间这个因素,本身就是一种社交和文化上的提示,对吧?

And the time piece is, in itself, a social, cultural tip in itself, right?

Speaker 1

在某些文化中,时间真的很重要。

Certain cultures, time really matters.

Speaker 1

比如想象你在工作,经过办公室里的某个人。

I'm imagining you're at work, for example, and you're passing someone in the office.

Speaker 1

那个人不会转过身来,跟你聊很久,足以让你补充那些额外的细节,对吧?

The person's not going to turn around and continue the conversation with you long enough to add that extra detail, right?

Speaker 1

你们只是在走廊里擦肩而过。

You're passing each other in the hall.

Speaker 0

如果他们边走边说——

If they continue walking as they say-

Speaker 0

——‘哦,我喜欢你的鞋子。’

... "Oh, I love your shoes.

Speaker 0

我喜欢你的夹克。

I love your jacket."

Speaker 1

谢谢。

Thanks.

Speaker 0

你不会转身跑过去跟着他们,像……

You're not going to turn and run next to them like...

Speaker 1

不会。尤其是在北美文化里。

No. Especially not in North American culture.

Speaker 1

也许在世界其他地方会,但在这里繁忙的商业文化中不会,对吧?

Maybe in other parts of the world, but not here in busy business culture, right?

Speaker 1

快节奏的商业文化。

Fast-paced business culture.

Speaker 0

没错。

Exactly.

Speaker 1

我们来做个角色扮演吧,Aubrey。

Let's do a role play, Aubrey.

Speaker 1

我们开始吧?

Shall we dive into it?

Speaker 0

好,开始吧。

Let's do it.

Speaker 0

你和我在一个朋友的派对上,我们之前从没见过。

You and I are at a friend's party, and we have never met before.

Speaker 1

好的。

Okay.

Speaker 0

我先来。

I'll start us out.

Speaker 0

准备好了吗?

Ready?

Speaker 1

好。

All right.

Speaker 0

我喜欢你的穿搭。

I love your outfit.

Speaker 0

那件夹克真酷。

That jacket is really cool.

Speaker 1

哦,谢谢。

Ooh, thank you.

Speaker 1

你这么说真是太好了。

That's so nice of you to say.

Speaker 1

我在一家我超喜欢的二手店淘到的。

I picked it up at a secondhand shop I found that I love.

Speaker 0

哦,真的吗?

Oh, really?

Speaker 0

在哪儿?

Where is it?

Speaker 0

我喜欢逛二手店。

I love thrifting.

Speaker 1

在市中心罗斯福街上。

It's downtown on Roosevelt.

Speaker 1

我觉得这家店还挺新的。

I think it's pretty new.

Speaker 1

店名叫 Rag & Roll。

It's called Rag & Roll.

Speaker 0

这名字真不错。

That's a great name.

Speaker 0

我一定得去看看。

I'll definitely have to check it out.

Speaker 1

你还知道哪些好地方?

What other good places do you know of?

Speaker 1

肯定有些隐藏的好店我还没去过。

I'm sure there are some hidden gems I haven't checked out yet.

Speaker 1

好的。

All right.

Speaker 0

不错。

Nice.

Speaker 0

我喜欢这个。

I love this.

Speaker 0

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 1

所以现在我们就像俗话说的,开始聊起来了——

So now we're off to the races, as we say, talking about-

……关于二手衣物和购物,谁知道接下来会聊到哪儿去呢,对吧?

... thrifting and secondhand clothing and shopping, and who knows where it could go from here, right?

Speaker 0

没错。

Exactly.

Speaker 0

一个恰到好处的赞美让我们打开了话匣子——

One compliment that was received in a great way opened us up-

Speaker 0

……展开了一场有趣的对话,拉近了彼此的距离,发现了我们的共同点。

... to an interesting conversation to connect and find out what we have in common.

Speaker 1

我很喜欢。

I love it.

Speaker 1

所以这只是即将到来的更大更精彩的事情的一小部分,各位。

So this is just one tiny piece of something bigger and greater that is coming soon, guys.

Speaker 1

所以这个月,我们要帮你学会那些帮助你建立联系的潜规则,那些不幸的是,你在学校的老师或者你之前上过的英语课程,从来没有人教过你这些,因为有人觉得它们不重要,但它们其实非常重要,Aubrey。

So this month, we're going to help you learn the unwritten rules that help you connect, those rules that unfortunately, your teacher in school or the English courses that you've taken so far, these were never taught to you because for someone decided they didn't matter, but they do matter so much, Aubrey.

Speaker 0

绝对,而且这你可能很熟悉,你或者目睹过对话,或者参与过对话,你知道你错过了什么,你理解得有点偏差,或者你看到别人理解错了,通常就是这些文化上的细微差别——

Absolutely, and this is likely familiar to you, where you have either witnessed conversations or you've been part of conversations where you know that you missed something, you read something a little bit off, or you witness someone read, and often it's these cultural nuances that are-

Speaker 1

是的

Yes

Speaker 0

……就是不一样,对吧?

... it's different, right?

Speaker 0

如果你和你在同一个文化里长大的人进行这样的对话,情况会不一样。

If you were having this conversation with someone you grew up with in your culture, it would go different.

Speaker 0

理解起来也会不一样。

It would be read differently.

Speaker 0

所以知道——

So knowing-

Speaker 1

对

Yes

Speaker 0

……这些细微的文化细节,在知道如何回应、如何察言观色、如何社交方面,起着非常大的作用。

... these little cultural details makes such a big difference in knowing how to respond, how to read the room, and how to socialize.

Speaker 1

所以,各位,请加入我们的名单,成为最早知道我们“英语社交法”本月晚些时候上线的人之一。

So guys, get on the list to be one of the first to know when our Socializing in English method becomes available later this month.

Speaker 1

请访问 allearsenglish.com/social,你将会是最早知道的人之一。

So go to allearsenglish.com/social and you will be one of the first to know.

Speaker 1

好吗?

All right?

Speaker 0

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 0

我们想确保你不会错过这个系列的其他集。

We want to make sure you don't miss the other episodes in this series.

Speaker 0

第一部分就在All Ears English这里。

Part one was here on All Ears English.

Speaker 0

你可以往上翻看看,英语社交第一部分:你是椰子还是桃子?

You can scroll up to see it, Socializing in English Part One: Are You a Coconut or a Peach?

Speaker 0

如果你错过了那个——

If you missed that-

Speaker 0

一定要去看看。

... definitely go check it out.

Speaker 0

有些文化里,人们像椰子,有些——

Some cultures, people are a coconut, and some-

Speaker 1

对

Yes

Speaker 0

有些人像桃子,所以去看看你是哪种。

... people are a peach, so find out which you are.

Speaker 1

没错,各位,第二部分在商务英语播客上。

Exactly, and guys, part two was over on the Business English podcast.

Speaker 1

如果你不知道我们还有另一个很棒的播客,专注于职场英语技能,这在职场上非常适用。

If you didn't know that we have a whole other podcast that's amazing that focuses on workplace English skills, this applies very much so at the workplace.

Speaker 1

我们在工作中也会社交,对吧,Aubrey?

We socialize at work, don't we, Aubrey?

Speaker 1

当然。

For sure.

Speaker 0

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 0

那期节目叫《用英语社交第二部:邀请还是礼貌告别?》。

And that was called Socializing in English Part Two: Invitation or Polite Goodbye?

Speaker 1

对。

Yes.

Speaker 0

这真的很重要,你要知道北美人在说话时会用很多听起来像是邀请的短语。

This is so vital that you know there are a lot of phrases that North Americans will use that sound like an invitation-

Speaker 0

但实际上他们可能是在礼貌地告别,而你如何处理这种情况,可能会造成尴尬,也可能为你打开交流的大门。

... and really they might be a polite goodbye, and how you handle that could create awkwardness or could open you up for connection.

Speaker 1

是的,完全正确。

Yes, exactly.

Speaker 1

所以我觉得那是在9月10号左右发布的。

So I believe that came out on 9/10 or right around there.

Speaker 1

所以如果你还没关注Business English,就打开搜索栏,输入Business English。

So go ahead and open the search bar if you're not following Business English, type in Business English.

Speaker 1

你会看到那个黄色的图标,点开它,点关注,然后去看看那期节目。

You'll see the yellow come up, open it, hit follow, and check out that episode.

Speaker 1

好吗?

All right?

Speaker 0

太棒了。

Awesome.

Speaker 1

奥布里,你还有什么最后的总结吗?

Any final takeaway, Aubrey?

Speaker 1

你有什么想对听众说的吗?

Anything you want to leave our listeners with?

Speaker 0

是的,这真的很神奇,就像你说的,林赛,你可以学会所有的词汇和语法,感觉非常流利,但仍然会……

Yeah, it's so fascinating how, it's just like you said, Lindsay, you can learn all of the vocabulary and grammar and feel extremely fluent and then still be-

Speaker 0

……在一种你根本无法建立联系的情境下,而这可能并不是因为词汇量或语法不够。

... in a situation where you're just not able to connect, and it might not be a lack of vocabulary, grammar.

Speaker 0

而可能只是那些社交信号、那……

It might just be those social cues, the-

Speaker 1

对。

Yes

Speaker 0

……文化上的细微差别,你需要了解这些才能读懂场合、理解……

... little nuances of culture that you need to know so that you can read the rooms, you can understand-

Speaker 0

……这些不同短语的具体含义,而这正是我们要帮助大家掌握的内容。

... what these different phrases mean, and that is what we're going to help.

Speaker 0

我非常期待今年秋季推出的所有内容,它们将为你解锁那些不成文规则提供关键钥匙。

I'm excited for everything coming this fall that will give you the keys you need to unlock all of those unwritten rules.

Speaker 1

没错。

Exactly.

Speaker 1

去解锁那些不成文的规则,理解隐藏在我们言语、语法和发音背后的无形社交层。

Unlock the unwritten rules and understand the invisible social layer that lies beneath our words, our grammar, our pronunciation.

Speaker 1

不错。

Good stuff.
