情景对话1：

办公室里的两个人在谈论看电视的事情。

Allen: Are you watching the TV series now shown on Channel 8?

你看八频道的电视剧了吗?

Ben: No, I haven't been watching it. I don't care much for soap operas. They are just not my cup of tea.

没有，我没看。我不喜欢看肥皂剧，我对它没有兴趣。

Allen: Nor are they mine. They are too confusing. But a lot of people enjoy watching them. They say soaps are entertaining.

我也是。它们太莫名其妙。但是好多人都喜欢看，说肥皂剧很有意思。

Ben: Yes, only two kinds of people like watching soap operas.

哦，只有两种人才看电视剧。

Allen: Who are they?

哪两种人?

Ben: Those who don't have to work and those who have too much work. The former need something to help them kill time and the latter need something to take their minds off work.

从来不上班的和上班太累的人。第一种人用它打发时间，而第二种人用它来放松。

Allen: You are exactly right. I prefer news and science programs.

你说得太对了。我喜欢新闻和科普节目。

Ben: Me, too. I think they are both informative and entertaining.

我也是。我觉得看这些节目既能了解信息又有意思。

Notes:

在某些社交场合，闲谈是很普遍的。英美人相互间日常谈及的话题通常有：天气、工作情况、住房情况、学习情况、体育运动、旅游与节目、兴趣爱好、休息娱乐、家乡风情等。在社交场合遇到英美人，或者出于礼貌需要交谈而不想做严肃讨论时，闲聊这些话题总是令人感兴趣和愉快的。用英语谈论自己的喜好或询问他人的偏好是很重要的。
