1. Ask for a helping hand 1.寻求帮助 Helping questions are great conversation starters because when a person helps you it forms natural bonds. When you help another person to figure what an item is on the buffet or locate the restroom, it lowers your defenses. 寻求帮助的问题是很好的开场白，因为当一个人帮你的时候你们很自然地就形成了一种联系。你帮别人弄清楚自助餐有什么或者找洗手间时你的防御就降低了。 2. Compliment something other than someone’s looks 2.赞美点外表之外的东西 Instead of complimenting something generic like their eyes, highlight something that shows their personality, like their purse or a book. 不要赞美别人的眼睛这样天生的东西，要着重强调能展现他们个性的东西，比如包或书。 3. Bring up a shared interest 3.聊共同的兴趣 Many people think they have nothing in common with a stranger but if someone is at a restaurant or bar they are there for a reason. You’re both there so you both share a common interest. 很多人认为和陌生人没什么共同点，但如果有人出现在一家餐厅或酒吧，那一定是有原因的。你们都出现在那儿，一定是有共同的兴趣。 4. Go simple… yet bold 4.简单一点，但也要大胆 Give a genuine smile and say, “Hi.” It sounds too simple but shows the other person that you’ve noticed them and you’re interested in getting to know them better. And you’ll almost always get a hello back. |
