第一节：教你一招
—— 如何结束谈话！

【疯狂星级】
★ ★★ 三星级•高中生级•国际公民级
【Kim’s Note】This is a serious problem among Asian English learners. Even people with outstanding English seem to have a hard time with this skill. I think the culture difference has something to do with it. In any case, these endings are much better then abruptly saying “OK. I go now.” Making a graceful exit will ensure that you are remembered long after you leave!

How to End A Conversation
1．师生之间 (between teacher and student):
A: Thank you for your time, Ms. Lee. I enjoyed speaking with you.
（李老师，占用了您的时间，真是太感谢了。与您交谈非常高兴。）
B: You’re welcome, Stone, any time.
（别客气，石头，随时欢迎你。）

2．商友之间 (between businessmen):
A: Well, you’re a busy man, Mr. Smith. I’ll let you get back to work.
（好了，史密斯先生，您是个大忙人。我还是不打扰您工作吧。）
B: Thanks for dropping by『顺便拜访』.
（谢谢你来看我。）
【Kim’s Note】It’s always a good idea to assume someone is busy and acknowledge that they need to get back to work. When a person knows that you respect his time, he is more willing to share it with you.

3．家庭主妇间 (between housewives):
A: Sue, I’d love to talk longer but I’ve got to pick up『拾起』 my son from school. Give me a call later, okay?
（苏，我很想和你多聊一会儿，但我还要去学校接我儿子，稍后再给我打电话，好吗？）
B: Sure, I’ll talk to you later.
（当然，以后再聊。）

4．朋友之间 (between friends):
A: It’s been good talking to you, Sam. I’m sorry, but I have to meet someone in 10 minutes.
（山姆，与你交谈真高兴，遗憾的是十分钟后我约了别人见面。）
B: Well, I’d better let you go. See you later. I wish we had more time to talk.
（好吧，我还是让你走吧，以后见。）

5．网友之间 (between online chatters):
A: I’m sorry, but I’ve got to make a phone call. Can I get back with you later?
（对不起，我要打个电话，稍后再聊好吗？）[ ——下线打个电话。]
B: Sure. No problem.
（当然，没问题。）

【额外成就感】
drop by
* I'd like to drop by and see you sometime next week.
（我想在下周某个时候顺便来看看你。）

pick up
* We’ll pick up where we finished yesterday.
（我们从昨天停下来的地方继续进行。）
