【交際指南】
1.英美人談?wù)撎鞖?除個(gè)別情況是實(shí)實(shí)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(chē)上,彼此互不認(rèn)識(shí),假若大家都默默地坐著,那未免太尷尬,而讓人難受.為了打破這種冷局,人們就得無(wú)話找話說(shuō),說(shuō)什么呢?在英美人看來(lái),最方便也是最安全的辦法,就是談?wù)撎鞖?因?yàn)樘鞖膺@一話題人人都可以發(fā)表見(jiàn)解,且不涉及他人私事(英美人視打聽(tīng)私事為大忌),也不至于失禮或引起誤解.(另外,據(jù)說(shuō)英國(guó)人尤其喜歡談?wù)撎鞖?還與他們國(guó)家的多變天氣有關(guān),英國(guó)是世界上少有的幾個(gè)天氣異常多變的國(guó)家之一,那里往往是上午還是陽(yáng)光普照,下午就會(huì)大雨淋漓,一小時(shí)前還是晴空萬(wàn)里,一小時(shí)后就會(huì)霧都茫茫.因此,談?wù)摶蝾A(yù)測(cè)天氣很自然就成了英國(guó)人最經(jīng)常的話題).談?wù)撎鞖獠粌H僅是陌生人之間為了答腔或引入話題的慣用手段,就是熟悉人甚至朋友之間也常用之.
2.簡(jiǎn)潔是口語(yǔ)的一大特點(diǎn),因此在談?wù)撎鞖鈺r(shí),為了簡(jiǎn)潔起見(jiàn),人們常使用一些省略句.如：
It’s a lovely day,isn’t it?
→Lovely day,isn’t it?
It’s rather cold today,isn’t it?
→Rather cold,isn’t it?
