美式开场白:你来自哪里?
American: So, where are you from ?
美国幅员辽阔,人员流动频繁。因此,地域就成了一大聊天话题。你可以把自己和其来处联系起来,比如说,要是对方来自于洛杉矶,你就说:“哦,我有个朋友在那上学。他曾在街上见过好几次布拉德-皮特呢!”这样一来,你的新朋友肯定会给予热情回复的。
The US is so big and people move so frequently that location is always a source of talk. You can try to find a connection with the place they're from. For example, if someone's from Los Angeles, you could say: "Oh, I have a friend who studied there. He says he saw Brad Pitt several times on the street." And you'll likely get an enthusiastic reply from your new friend.
