Again, this will get them talking about their favorite subject: themselves. If you’re at a party, ask them how they know the host. If it’s a conference or networking event, inquire as to what line of work they’re in. Unless they’re total bores, this should give you plenty of material for follow-up questions. Who knows? You may even find some common ground. Maybe they like long-distance running as much as you do.
以问题开始。
还是那句话，这会让他们开口谈论他们最喜欢的话题：他们自己。如果你在派对上，问问他们是怎么认识主办人的；如果你在协商会或社交联谊会，问问他们是做什么工作的。除非他们是彻头彻尾的闷蛋，不然这应该能给你制造很多接话的素材。谁知道呢？你甚至还能找到你们的一些共同之处——或许他们也像你一样喜欢长跑。
