第一次和某人見面是很重要的。第一次會議在一種不同文化的外語中尤為困難。這篇文章將告訴你如何用英語介紹你自己。是的,我將討論與人打招呼的各種方式,以及如何回答:多告訴我一些關(guān)于你自己的事!
It is important to realize that there are basically two types of situations.
你要意識到基本上有兩種情境是很重要的。
1.Formal interaction
1.正式的互動
2.Informal interactions
2.非正式的互動
Formal interactions require a less relaxed behavior following customs and procedure.
正式的互動是需要在遵從習俗步驟后,還不能過于放松的。
These type of interactions could be one of the following:
這些類型的互動可能是下列之一:
1.Meeting with a government official
1.與政府官員會面
2.Talking to your boss at work
2.工作時和你的老板交談
3.Speaking with someone older than you (especially if you are a child talking to an adult)
3.當和比你年長的人交談(尤其是當你是一個孩子的時候,和一個成年人說話時)
4.someone famous or that you admire
4.一個名人或者令你欽佩的人
In formal interactions, it is best to offer a handshake to the other individual.
在正式交往中,最好是與對方握手。
To do this follow these steps:
為了做到這一點按照以下步驟執(zhí)行:
1.Extend your arm to the mid-torso area.
1.將手臂伸展到軀干中部區(qū)域。
2.Open your hand with your palm facing inward.
2.向內(nèi)張開手掌。
3.Make a big welcoming smile with your mouth
3.露出一個大大的微笑表示歡迎
Once they offer their hand as well make sure you give a firm handshake.
一旦他們伸出手來,確保你握手有力。
Some people give what is called a dead fish handshake. This feels like the person is holding a dead fish when they give you a handshake.
有些人會給出所謂的“死魚式握手”。這感覺就像當他們和你握手的時候,你在握著一條死魚。
Your hand should be firm and you should apply a slight pressure to their hand when shaking hands. Eye contact is very important and should be maintained during this time.
你的手應該很結(jié)實,當你握手時,你應該對他們的手施加一個輕微的壓力。眼神交流非常重要,應該在這段時間內(nèi)保持。
Once physical contact has been made a verbal greeting is appropriate. There are many different ways to give a greeting and introduce yourself for formal settings.
一旦身體接觸,口頭問候是適當?shù)?。對于正式的場合,有很多不同的方式來問候和介紹你自己。
The one that I prefer is the following:
我更喜歡的是以下幾點:

你好,我的名字叫布萊恩。
Here are some other ways of greeting and introducing yourself:

Generally, other people will respond and give your their name as well.

What is your name?

我沒聽清你的名字。
In informal settings, we can be more relaxed. These are interactions that are more casual.
在非正式場合,我們可以更放松。這些互動更隨意。
Here are examples of situations that are informal:
下面是一些非正式的例子:
1.Birthday party events
1.工作生日聚會活動
2.Meeting acquaintances of friends
2.見熟人朋友。
3.Talking to someone much younger than you
3.和比你年齡小的人交談。
As a rule, we should always be polite when meeting new people. A handshake is always appropriate, but you might need to adapt to what the other person insists on doing. For example, they might want to hug or bump fists.
一般來說,在遇到陌生人的時候,我們應該保持禮貌。握手總是合適的,但你可能需要適應對方堅持做的事情。例如,他們可能想要擁抱或碰拳頭。

After anyone gives you their name for the first time, you should say it back to them as a courtesy.
當別人第一次說出他們的名字時,出于禮節(jié),你應該對他們再說一遍他們的名字。
This should be done regardless if the setting is formal or informal. In repeating back their name, you are less likely to forget it later.
無論場合是正式的還是非正式的,都應該這樣做。在重復他們的名字時,你不太可能會忘記。

From this point, the conversation is up to you. You can ask questions about how they know your friend or someone might mention something about their work. You could ask a question about that. The scenarios are endless.
從這一點開始,對話由你決定。你可以詢問他們是如何認識你的朋友,有些人也可能會聊他們的工作。你可以對此提問。有很多種場景。
However, if someone asks you to introduce yourself in a meeting situation, then the response is a little more complicated.
然而,如果有人讓你在會議中介紹你自己,那么回復就有點復雜了。
Usually, what they are waiting for is five to six sentences for other people in the room to acquire facts about you so that they have an idea about who you are and your personality.
通常,他們等待的是5到6個句子,讓房間里的其他人了解你,讓他們知道你是誰,你的個性。
For example, you could give your name, your age, your occupation, where you are from and something that you like.
例如,你可以說出你的名字,你的年齡,你的職業(yè),你來自哪里,你喜歡什么。
