顺水推舟 Small Talk大有讲究

A: Hello, I saw you sitting on my table at dinner but I didn’t have a chance to speak with you. I’m Harry.

B: Hi, I’m Sandro.
A: Who did you come with? Is this your first company event?
B: Yes.
A: Well, I’m sure you’ll have a great weekend. Have you seen the programme?
B: No, not yet.
A: Oh. Well, it looks very entertaining. I think there are some left at the information desk. Are you here with colleagues?
B: No.
A: Well, you’ll soon get to know people. So, um, would you like another drink?
B: No, I’m fine, thanks.

A: Well, it’s been nice talking to you… erm… Sandro. You don’t mind if I go and get myself a coffee? See you later.

A: Who did you come with? Is this your first company event?

B: Yes.

如果B这样回答，是不是更好呢？

Yes, it is. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it’s great meeting people from different offices and departments.

或Yes, it is. How about you?
