英语口语最难点：小对话交流技巧

“小对话”是指你在和别人聊天时，很快地聊一些无关紧要的话题。这些话题也许是关于天气，或者是你的假日等。聊这些话题时，人们普遍没有实际目的，但这是社交的必要手段。这篇文章就是要帮助我们掌握学习小对话的技巧。我们接下来会看到许多在处理小对话时必要的词汇和句式，这会帮助我们实际应用各种不同的话题。

对聊天内容表示出兴致

小对话中一个重要部分就是要聆听对方，做到给予聊天双方回应。那么要想表达出我们对于对方谈话内容的兴致，我们需要有相对的语言上的肯定。下面的词语我们可以用来表达我们对于谈话内容的关心。

Yeah.

Right.

Uh-huh.

Mhm.

Sure.

Yes.

反问技巧

这种反问语句一般是用be动词前置主语来进行的，同样的，有时候对于双方聊天内容应用反问句式，可以表达出我们对于聊天内容的一些兴致。

比如，当你朋友说“我找到了份新工作时”，你可以说“是吗？”（DID YOU?）这种反问并不是为了进展对话，只是为了表示出对聊天内容的兴趣。让我们再看一下其他不同的反问句式。

Did they?

Was he?

Will she?

Does it?

Has it?

Were they?

反问关键字

这种反问方式有别于之前的be动词前置主语反问方式，我们这次只是反问强调关键字，来突出对于个别聊天内容的兴趣。操作方式是我们重复反问之前聊天内容中的个别字眼，并赋予声调。

比如：“他们收了我250块钱！”，你可以就此回应反问说“250块钱？”，一下还有其他的关键词反问例子，请看。

Italy?

A new job?

Two thousand pounds?

Ninety seconds?

Vegetarian?

Wh＋问句

我们对于wh问句应该都很熟悉（也包括以how开头问句）。与之前的反问方式不同，用wh问句承接对话，我实际上是想从对方身上问出一些事情来。当然提问的初衷也同时是为了保证对话顺利的进行，所以下面让我们看一些wh问句的例句。

When does he start?

Where did you get it?

What did you say?

When is he going?

个性式回应

个性式回应是小对话中最难的部分，因为你需要根据个人感情来对于对话内容进行回应。这意味着你需要有足够好的语言功底，来充分表达自己对于不同谈话内容的观点。不论是喜爱，还是吃惊，还是同意或是反对，你可以有不同的回应方式。下面是为大家总结的5种最常见的回应方式。

惊讶

No way!

You’re kidding!

Wow! Really?

同意

Sure.

Right.

Of course.

Yeah, definitely.

Mhm.

高兴

That’s great!

Fantastic! Really?

Wow!

同情

Oh no!

What a shame!

How sad!

What a pity!

震惊

What! No way!

You’re kidding!

Really?
