you're on 快说时连成一串,别逐词停
So you're on facebook, huh?The Intern · 2015 — 第 8 / 18 章 · 2'59" · B2
有人刚注册脸书十分钟,另一个提出帮忙填资料,从照片、音乐一路问到感情状态。一句 figure it out(弄明白)点出刚上手新东西的手忙脚乱;一句 brownnose(拍马屁)又把夸人说得体面。想学怎么把夸奖说得不油腻、把私人问题问得自然,这两句很实用。
有人刚注册脸书十分钟,另一个人提出帮忙填资料。照片、宗教政治观点、喜欢的音乐和书、感情状态,一个个问题问下来,话题从操作软件滑到彼此的生活。figure it out(弄明白)说的是刚接触新东西时的摸索;brownnose(拍马屁)被一句 I'm not trying to brownnose you(我不是在拍你马屁)先撇清,再让夸奖显得真诚;widower(鳏夫)则让轻快聊天停了一下。想学怎么在闲聊里自然地夸人、问私人问题又不冒犯,这种对话很实用。

替对方注册完脸书后,有人用 adult conversation 形容这场聊天;后面补一句 not about work,说明这里指不谈工作、能像成年人一样有来有回的交流。
It was nice to have an adult conversation with an adult man, You know what I mean?"You're never wrong to do the right thing."做对的事,永远不会错。 像格言又像自我提醒,短、稳、可反复引用。
I'd love some, but, really, you've got better things to do.我很想让你帮,但说真的,你有更要紧的事要忙。 先领情再替对方省事,拒绝得体贴又自然。

是“拍马屁、讨好”。台词里先说 I'm not trying to brownnose you(我不是在拍你马屁),再讲对方多特别,用这句话把夸奖和恭维区分开。
better late than never。有人刚注册脸书十分钟,对方就用这句话接,意思是晚开始也比一直不做要好。
指感情状态,比如已婚、单身、丧偶。台词里就是照着资料栏问 what's your relationship status,后面接着问 married(已婚)、single(单身)。
widower。台词里用单个词回答感情状态,对方回了一句 I'm sorry(真遗憾),说明这个词的分量不轻。
friend me。台词里说 You can friend me,就是把 friend 当动词用,在社交平台上加对方为好友。
夸的是聊天不谈工作、能像成年人一样有来有回。台词后面补了 not about work,说明重点不是话题多高深。
