澳大利亚口语风情对话 如何开启一段对话

Hey there I'm Emma from mmmEglish. If you're new here you may not know that I'm from Australia so I thought it would be really fun to share a few tips with you about how to start a conversation in Australia with Australians.

Are you ready? Let's play!

准备好了吗？让我们开始吧！

Even though I mentioned this video is about starting a conversation in Australia, you'll see that most of these conversation tips can work in any English-speaking country. If you're talking to a Brit, an American, Canadian, South African, New Zealander, all of these tips will help you to strike up a conversation with native English speakers.

尽管我提到这个视频是关于如何在澳大利亚开始对话的，但你会发现这些对话技巧中的大部分都适用于任何英语国家。如果你正在与英国人、美国人、加拿大人、南非人、新西兰人交谈的话，所有这些技巧都将帮助你与以英语为母语的人交谈。

To be honest, these tips are really not about having long in-depth conversations. They're suggestions to help you start conversations and the more you practise starting conversations and having these little interactions with other people the easier it will become so it's okay to start small.

老实说，这些技巧并不是关于进行长时间的深入对话的。它们是帮助你开始对话的小建议，你练习开始对话的次数越多，与其他人进行这些小互动就会变得越容易，所以从小处着手是完全没问题的。

As long as you're friendly, then a brief interaction is all you need to start building experience and confidence to talk with people more in English. Before we get into it I really want to emphasise the importance of the greeting.

只要你是友好的，那么你只需进行一次简短的互动，就可以开始建立更多地用英语与人交谈的经验和信心。在我们开始之前，我想强调一下问候的重要性。

You know, always trying to be polite, friendly and positive, it's going to get your conversation off to a good start. And most Australians are pretty relaxed and laid back and that's really reflected in the way that we greet each other.

一定要尽量保持礼貌、友好和积极，这会让你的对话有一个好的开始。大多数澳大利亚人都非常放松和悠闲，这在我们互相打招呼的方式中得到了体现。

Contrary to popular belief, not every Australian says "G'day" every time they greet someone, right? G'day mate.

与流行的看法相反，并不是每个澳大利亚人每次问候某人时都会说“G'day”，对吧？你好啊，伙计。

It's commonly used by men and probably more often by older men and it's really a short version of 'good day', so we're saying hello and have a good one, have a good day at the same time so it's like a double greeting. Now I want to give you a little demo so that you can practise.

它是男性常用的，可能更常被年长的男性使用，它实际上是“美好的一天”的缩写版本，所以我们是在打招呼，同时祝你拥有美好的一天，就像双重问候一样。现在我给大家做个小示范，大家可以练习一下。

This is a really difficult expression to get right, you know most times anyone who's not Australian will mess this up. That's it.

这是一个很难正确表达的表达方式，大多数时候不是澳大利亚人的人都会把它搞砸。就是这样。

It's just a really quick flap of the tongue on the top of your mouth. You can also say "Hey, how ya goin'?" which basically just means how are you?

就像在你的嘴巴上快速拍动舌头。你也可以说：“嘿，你好吗？”，基本上也是你好吗的意思。

Try it. If you've ever visited Australia or you live here, then you'll know that Australians usually spend a lot of time at the pub.

试一下吧。如果你曾经来过澳大利亚或住在这里的话，那么你就会知道澳大利亚人通常会在酒吧里度过很多时间。

Now the pub is a great place for you to strike up a conversation with an Australian. People are usually really friendly and relaxed.

酒吧是与澳大利亚人交谈的好地方。人们通常会非常友好和放松。

They're in a good mood, they're joking around and you'll run into all different types of people so you'll learn a lot about Australian culture, about language, slang, mannerisms, all of these things. It's like a melting pot of Australian culture at the pub.

他们心情很好，他们会开玩笑，你会遇到各种各样的人，所以你可以学到很多关于澳大利亚文化的知识，语言、俚语、举止行为等等。酒吧好像是澳大利亚文化的大熔炉。

It's also where people are often watching sports so if there's a sports game on, a really great way to strike up a conversation is to say "What's the score?" or "Who's playing?" I want you to try it with me okay?

这也是人们经常观看体育比赛的地方，所以如果有体育比赛的话，一个非常好的交谈方式就是说：“分数是多少？”或者是“谁在比赛啊？”我想你和我一起试试好吗？

What's the score? Who's playing?

分数是多少？谁在比赛啊？

Nice! Now the most popular sport in Australia is unique to Australia.

很棒！澳大利亚最受欢迎的运动是澳大利亚独有的。

The AFL or the Australian football league and it's like the Australian version of the English premier league or the NFL or the NBA, right? We also have soccer and rugby and cricket and sports like that but AFL is the most popular sport by far.

澳大利亚足球联赛，就像澳大利亚版的英超联赛、NFL 或 NBA，对吧？我们也有足球、橄榄球、板球和类似的运动，但澳大利亚足球联赛是迄今为止最受欢迎的运动。

Anyone who comes to Australia is completely perplexed by our game, right? We have this weird shaped ball.

任何来澳大利亚的人都对我们的运动感到困惑，对吧？我们有这个奇怪形状的球。

There are four sticks at each end of the football field and everyone on the field is running around in really short shorts. It's going to take me like ten whole minutes, maybe more to try and explain the game so I've actually linked to another YouTube video if you're interested to see it and to find out more.

足球场的每一端都有四根棍子，场上的每个人都穿着非常短的短裤跑来跑去。我要花整整十分钟的时间，也许更多时间来尝试解释这项运动，所以如果你有兴趣观看并了解更多信息的话，我其实已经已经把另一个 YouTube 视频放在这里了。

It's down in the description below. So if you want an easy way to start a conversation with someone in a pub or anywhere really especially if there's a match on then knowing a little bit about the game is going to help you.

就在下面的描述区中。因此，如果你想通过一种简单的方式在酒吧或任何地方与某人开始对话的话，尤其是在有比赛的情况下，那么了解一点这个运动的知识会对你有所帮助。

Most taxi drivers love to have a chat so it's the perfect opportunity to practise your conversation skills in small talk. Australia is a multicultural place.

大多数出租车司机喜欢聊天，因此这是在闲聊中练习对话技巧的绝佳机会。澳大利亚是一个多元文化的地方。

There are lots of different people who drive Ubers and taxis right. Many of them are people who've moved to Australia from elsewhere and so they're probably similar to you or have a similar experience to you in some way.

有很多不同的人驾驶优步和出租车。他们中的许多人是从其他地方移居澳大利亚的人，因此他们可能与你相似或在某些方面与你有相似的经历。

Why is this important? Because there's so much to share and to talk about, you know, you have the opportunity to exchange experiences here so it's an easy way to get started with a conversation.

为什么这很重要？因为有很多东西可以分享和谈论，你有机会和他们交流经验，所以这是开始对话的一种简单的方式。

Now I usually jump in an Uber rather than a taxi so when I do that my go-to questions are: Have you been an Uber driver for long?

我通常乘坐优步而不是出租车，所以当我坐车时时，我主要会问：你做优步司机很久了吗？

Try it. Have you been an Uber driver for long?

试一下。你做优步司机很久了吗？

Do you enjoy doing it? Try it.

你喜欢吗？试一下。

Do you enjoy doing it? You must meet some really interesting people.

你喜欢吗？你一定会遇到一些非常有趣的人。

Now they might say they're doing it for some extra cash on the side while they're studying and then what can you ask them? You can ask them what they're studying, right?

他们可能会说他们是为了在学习期间多赚点额外的钱，然后你能问他们什么呢？你可以问问他们在学什么，对吧？

So it gives you all of these amazing opportunities to just practise building confidence with these conversation skills. Really easy way to get started.

因此，它为你提供了绝佳的机会，让你可以通过这些对话技巧练习建立信心。非常简单的开始方法。

If they have an accent I might ask: Have you been living in Australia for long? Try it.

如果他们有口音的话，我可能会问：你在澳大利亚生活了很久了吗？试一下。

Have you been living in Australia for long? Do you like living here?

你在澳洲生活很久了吗？你喜欢住在这里吗？

What's been the hardest part about moving to a new country? Nice one!

搬到一个新国家最困难的是什么？很棒！

A super place to strike up a conversation is at the supermarket. So just imagine that you need some help looking for a product, maybe for real, maybe you're just pretending so that you have the chance to talk to someone.

一个超级容易搭讪的地方是在超市。所以想象一下，你在寻找产品时需要一些帮助，也许是真的，也许你只是假装，以便你有机会与某人交谈。

But in this case, you can go and find a shop assistant and ask them to help you find that item, right? Simple.

但这种情况下，你可以去找店员，让他们帮你找到那个东西，对吧？很简单。

Hi there! Can you help me to find the vegemite? Or whatever product you're looking for.

你好呀！ 你能帮我找到 vegemite 吗？或者你正在寻找的任何产品。

And as you're walking with them to find the product then you might say something like: It's so hard trying to find your way around a new supermarket!

当你和他们一起寻找产品时，你可能会说：在一家新超市里找路真是太难了！

Right? But that might prompt them to say: Are you new to the area?

对吧？ 但这可能会让他们说：你刚来这个地方吗？

But then you can continue the conversation by saying: Yeah I'm actually from India.

但是你可以继续对话，说：是的，我其实来自印度。

I've been here for a few months now. Or you can just continue talking about the product that you're looking for.

我已经来这里几个月了。或者你可以继续谈论您正在寻找的产品。

You might say: I'm from Italy and interestingly I really love vegemite from the moment I first tried it.

你可能会说：我来自意大利，有趣的是，从我第一次尝试vegemite 的那一刻起，我就真的喜欢上它了。

I know lots of non-native Australians don't really enjoy it but I do. When you're travelling in an English-speaking country is the perfect opportunity to get as much speaking practice as you can, isn't it?

我知道很多非澳大利亚本地人并不真正喜欢它，但我喜欢。当你在讲英语的国家旅行时，这是获得尽可能多的口语练习的绝佳机会，不是吗？

You can ask questions when you're on your tours or ask for directions or recommendations, just ask someone to take a photo of you. Let's practise a little together, okay?

你可以在游览时提出问题，询问方向或建议，或者是请人为你拍照。我们一起练习一下，好吗？

Sorry for interrupting. . . Does this train go to the city?

抱歉打扰您了……这列火车开往市区吗？

Try it. Sorry for interrupting. . .

试一下。抱歉打扰您了……

Does this train go to the city? Excuse me, do you mind taking a photo of us?

这列火车开往市区吗？打扰一下，您介意给我们拍张照片吗？

Try it. Excuse me, do you mind taking a photo of us?

试一下。打扰一下，您介意给我们拍张照片吗？

So saying "excuse me" or "do you mind", they're really polite ways of approaching or interrupting a stranger. Excuse me, I've only just arrived in Melbourne and I'm a little lost.

所以说“对不起”或“你介意吗”，它们是接近或打断陌生人的非常礼貌的方式。不好意思，我刚到墨尔本，有点迷路。

Can you tell me where the post office is? Try it okay?

你能告诉我邮局在哪里吗？试一下，好吗？

Excuse me, I've only just arrived in Melbourne and I'm a little lost. Can you tell me where the post office is?

不好意思，我刚到墨尔本，有点迷路。你能告诉我邮局在哪里吗？

Adding that you've only just arrived helps the person to understand that you're new. They might even ask some other questions about where you're visiting from or how long you're staying or what your plans are.

加上你刚刚来这里有助于别人了解你是新来的。他们甚至可能会问一些其他问题，比如你从哪里来、要住多长时间或你有什么计划。

So you're taking every opportunity to spark up a conversation. Some of them will work and others won't.

因此，你正在抓住一切机会来开展对话。其中一些会起作用，而另一些则不会。

You won't get much of a reaction. Who cares?

你不会得到太多回应。谁在乎呢？

The important thing is that you're having a go and that is one characteristic about Australians that you can definitely benefit from. We love seeing people have a go, you know, having a crack.

重要的是你正在尝试，这是你绝对可以从中受益的澳大利亚人的一个特征。我们喜欢看到人们去试一试。

So I hope that you enjoyed a little mini journey into how to start a conversation in Australia and I really hope that you're able to come and visit us soon. The most important thing that you take away from this video is just to get started.

我希望你喜欢这个关于如何在澳大利亚开始对话的小旅程，我真的希望你能很快来看我们。你从这个视频中学到的最重要的事情就是去开始吧。

Just by greeting someone, you're letting them know that you have the courage to be bold along with being relaxed and positive and if you really enjoy sports, Australians love and they appreciate people who step out of their comfort zone, you know, have a crack. And don't think of every conversation as it has to be this endless hour-long discussion, just a quick exchange with a few people every day is enough to build your confidence over time.

仅仅通过向某人打招呼，你就让他们知道你有勇气，很大胆，也放松积极，如果你真的喜欢澳大利亚人喜欢的运动的话，他们喜欢那些走出舒适区的人，你懂的，去试一试。不要认为每一次谈话都必须是无休止的长达一小时的讨论，每天与几个人快速交流就足以随着时间的推移建立你的信心了。

And now that you know a little more about the land down under, I'm curious to find out. Are you coming to visit?

现在你对我脚下的土地有了更多的了解了，我很想知道。你要来玩吗？

Which city are you going to visit first? What's on your bucket list?

你会先去哪个城市？你的遗愿清单上有什么？

Let me know down in the comments and I'll see you next week. Bye for now!

请在评论中告诉我吧，我们下周见。再见啦！
