Глава 5. After business hours (После рабочего дня). Урок 3. Small talk (Легкая беседа)



В практике международных деловых отношений приглашения на business lunch или dinnerне редкость, возможно даже, что Вам закажут билеты в театр. Типичныеразговорные ситуации с подходящими речевыми оборотами помогут Вамполучить удовольствие от этих ситуаций.
Small talk (Легкая беседа)
Во время еды или за кружкой пива в баре о делах обычно не говорят. Приходит время для
small talk или socializing— беседы, которая на иностранном языке дается нелегко, поскольку здесьиспользуется лексика, выходящая за рамки профессионального жаргона. Сдругой стороны, благодаря такому виду беседы можно больше узнать друг одруге в человеческом плане и таким образом улучшить деловые отношения.Излюбленные темы при этом — еда (the food), погода (the weather), спорт (sports), семья (the family) и информация о стране (country). Предоставьте пригласившему Вас коллеге решать, будете ли вы обсуждать профессиональные темы или нет.

Mr Horst: No thanks, I've had enough.
Mr Chester: So what do you think of Chicago? Is it very different from Stuttgart? I guess it's a little bit colder over here, isn't it?
Mr Horst: It's very different indeed. Chicago is a lot biggerwith these enormous skyscrapers and huge buildings. I like the people alot, but it's true that it's very cold. Is it always like this?
