【交際指南】

1. 英美人談論天氣,除個別情況是實實在在地了解天氣情況外,其他絕大部分情況都不是為了天氣而談天氣,而是為了引入新的話題。比如旅行的人們坐在車上,彼此互不認識,假若大家都默默地坐著,那未免太尷尬,而讓人難受。為了打破這種僵局,人們就得找話說,但是說什么好呢? 在英美人看來,最方便也是最安全的辦法,就是談論天氣。因為天氣這一話題人人都可以發(fā)表見解,且不涉及他人私事(英美人視打聽私事為大忌),也不至于失禮或引起誤解。(另外,據(jù)說英國人尤其喜歡談論天氣,還與他們國家的多變天氣有關,英國是世界上少有的幾個天氣異常多變的國家之一,那里往往是上午還是陽光普照,下午就會大雨淋漓,一小時前還是晴空萬里,一小時后就會霧都茫茫。因此,談論或預測天氣很自然就成了英國人最經(jīng)常的話題)。談論天氣不僅僅是陌生人之間為了搭腔或引入話題的慣用手段,就是熟人甚至朋友之間也常用到。

2. 簡潔是口語的一大特點,因此在談論天氣時,為了簡潔起見,人們常使用一些省略句。 如:

Its a lovely day, isnt it?→Lovely day, isnt it?

Its rather cold today, isnt it?→Rather cold, isnt it?
