很多人总有“话题荒”：一个话题，一问一答就结束了！

尴尬换下一个话题，又是三分钟就聊完！

会聊天的人 会根据讲话人的内容 去挖掘新问题 让他一直说下去 把一个话题说透

怎么做？

1 求解释why was that? 

2 小明没听说过 did you say “…”? what is that? 

3 然后咧 What happened then? 

4 问感受How doyou like it? 

-I didn’t go to thegym yesterday, instead, I went to Carrefour. 

我昨天没去健身房，相反，我去了家乐福。

-Why was that? 为啥哩？

-Well, because thisyear I’m my colleague John’s secret Santa and I need to give him a present.

因为今年我是同事John的神秘圣诞老人，要给他准备个礼物

-Wait, did you say Secret Santa? What is that?

打住，你刚刚是不是说神秘圣诞老人？那是啥玩意儿

-Oh, it’s just a little gameduring Christmas. Like, I have to give him a present but he doesn’t know thegift is from me, so, I’m his secret Santa. 

哦，就是圣诞节玩的一个小游戏。好比，我要送他一件礼物，但他事先不知情。所以我就是他的神秘圣诞老人。

-That’s interesting! So whathappened then at Carrefour?

有意思! 那在家乐福接着发生了啥？

-Oh, I got him a water bottle. Hope he will likeit. 

我给他买了个水杯，希望他会稀饭。

-I’m sure he will. Tell me, how do you like this Secret Santa game?

他肯定会啦。那个，你对那啥神秘圣诞老人的游戏怎么看？
